I have to have a smaller size e-cig, Or I just wont use it. I had a big one and I couldnt hold it properly and it was akward, annoying and heavy so I gave up on it.

I ordered a blu mini.. I have read reviews saying they are weak.

I just want a small e-cigg that has power and good battery. Is this impossible? (also I dont like the wistle tip, But thats all I am picky about.)

Have you tried the Elite 808 from Cigeasy?

ELITE 808 (ALL NEW)

It should last you all day long. Especially since it has two batts in the kit and it's roughly the size of a cigarillo. If you want something more cig-like then a VOLT is a great kit. Which includes 2 batts (4-5 hrs vaping time each) along with a PCC (portable chargine case) which will last you for a very long time.

it is almost completely customizeable. I would go with the 78mm batts.

The smallest I'd recommend is the 808 type batteries which include the Volt linked above. It's regulated to 3.6v and provides a very nice vape so no you don't need to go big to get a good vaping experience.

Size will limit your vape time in between charges, that's why the cigarish shaped PVs like the Riva/Ego etc are so popular, longer vape times in between charges and aren't really that much bigger but they don't give you a stronger hit. For that you do have to move up to the mod type ecigs.

I ordered a blu mini..

lol... i would cancel your order or send it back, it's not gonna do anything for you.

And yes, cig sized e-cigs are impossible to have decent power and good battery life, the only thing remotely close to give you that is something eGo sized with some low resistance cartomizers / atomizers, regular e-cig batteries cant handle low resistance, and apart from that the battery life would be worse than it already is.

Its coming from the states, to canada. And I cant get a refund since it was shipped with "international checkout"

So oh well/ I was reading about the volcano ones?

Aperantly you can use the same cartos?

Blargh. I'm assuming you either just got the Blu or it's en route? If so, don't give up on it just yet. Though I have no experience outside the Blu minis to speak of, sans their disposables, I personally don't think it's that bad having used them since late June '10... The battery can be annoying if you use it a TON, but then that's why you have the PCC. The new batteries are a LOT better than the old ones, and apparently the premium100's are better yet. Sorta itching to get my hands on one of those.

Although I've never been an analog smoker, those of my friends who are LOVE using my Blu over their normal stuff, lol. (except for the oddball who rips the filter out of his, but... yeah)... Different strokes, don't give up on Blu just yet. If you don't like it, pay it forward to an analog user who might. ^^ Just my oversized 2 cents. They're more like 2 silver dollars. But yknow.

This is just plain INCORRECT! You CANNOT change the physics of battery technology. 100 mAh of battery power lasts an hour at best for a light to moderate vaping, plain and simple. So unless you only hit the thing for a few puffs once every hour or two, plan on switching batteries every hour which means you better buy many of them. I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than a 650 mAh battery which would put you into the "slim cigar" class of PV's. I've used about 15 different models uncluding mini ones. I would suggest you look at the E-Power 510, the Riva 510 or the Kgo:

Interesting, so your saying that the two 380 mah batteries that come with the kit can't last all day long for someone?

Check out Brent at Hoosier E Cig Supply he stocks the Kgo which is like the ego only better priced and has more umph. And the best thing is he ships anywhere without ripping you off on extra shipping fees.
