Rhianna, these guys are from canada, and offer a quite wide selection. Happy Vaper - Canadian Quality Electronic Cigarette ECig E CIG E-CIG/Personal Vaporizers and DIY Smoke Liquid . I personally own a few ego type units and a few 510s as well a some mods. Whatever gets you away from analogs and is satisfying.... then its for you. I espcially am interested in giving a complete try to one of these...Canadian E-cigarette Bloog MaxxFusion Basic Starter Kit. with the ability to get a slim form factor and over 300mAh it seems to be just the ticket to carry as a spare to give out to an analog user to give vaping a try.:2c: Good Luck. Happy vaping.

The most power I've have had from a small battery is the joye 510 auto.

I use it as much as I can before the battery dies.

I've used the 4081 and the KR808d-1 (from volt) and didn't like them, although the battery life was good.
The volt kit I purchased (one sealed auto and one manual) have a 5 second cut off that is EXTREMELY annoying on BOTH models.

The joye 510 is really pleasent and is a powerful little e cig, even if the battery life is weak.

If I could go back when I first started vaping, I would have purchased like 3 joye 510 autos and a riva kit :D

My favorite e cig ever is the joye 510 auto chrome batt. It's light, beautiful and to the point. I might sacrifice battery life, but it's pure e cig bliss when I'm using that thing.

When it dies, I charge it while I use another spare battery, be it volt or my ego passthrough.

Well, it's kind of like a variation of a service and quality poster I sometimes see in shops:

When it comes to PVs, you can have:

- Small
- Powerful
- Long-lasting

You can pick only two. You can have small and powerful, but it won't be long-lasting. You can have small and long-lasting, but it won't be powerful. You can have powerful and long-lasting, but it won't be small.

From my personal experience, if you are absolutely set on a slim PV, your best bet is to get yourself an 808-base device. Volt, Bloog MaxxFusion, Smoov, Kanger, something like that. All of the 2nd generation KR808D-1 devices (Volt, Bloog, Smoov) are all 5V devices regulated down to 3.6V constant power, and the cartomizers are usually around 2.6ohm, so while you don't get the most powerful vape in the world, it's surprisingly warm and pleasant, and I usually get about 2.5-3 hours out of even the small 65mm batteries. Get a couple of those and a portable charging case and you should be good all day. I personally prefer the Volt or Bloog. They have nice rubberized coatings and work quite well, even the automatics. Automatic Volt batteries are also available in a sealed configuration that all but eliminates the worry of overfilling the cartos. They're not the cheapest kits in the world but they do work quite well.

I don't know if I've sent you my Canadian mod/hardware vendors list but I'd be happy to do so if you don't already have it. It should help you find what you're looking for. I also have a series of 808 reviews coming up shortly (link in my sig) covering the Bloog, Volt and Kanger kits available here in Canada.

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

For the vast majority, no. I take all day to mean from when one gets up until it's time to hit the sack. But even if it means say 8 -10 hours, the answer is still no unless the person doing the vaping is a light vaper. If you are able to vape all day without restrictions, then they won't make it close to all day. In addition, being non-regulated, the last half of the battery charge will not provide nearly the same power and thus, satisfaction, of the first half of the charge.

Volt, Bloog and Smoov are regulated at 3.6V though so they're very consistent from start to finish I find. My only complaint with those (due mainly to the low wattage output) is a distinctly diminished throat hit. (18mg feels like 12 to me.)

yeah i was kinda p.o.'s because when I got the cinfirmation email (abot the e cig i ordered for the U.S.) it said electronic cigarettes right on it!!! so now I am worried... I called the place they said that I shouldnt worry because as long as there is no nicotine its fine (which i already knew) but i dotn trust customs.. They already told me (when i called customs)they dont beleive people when they put non nicotine on things!

I have talked with several US suppliers who told me if the customer requests they put their order in a non-descript package with no referrence to contents, they would do this. I would call a supplier such as MadVapes or Stormy's Vapor Cellar and ask this question.

I'm no expert in this technology, but I'm pretty sure there is a difference between "regulated" and model that is regulated and has "boost circuit" technology. I think the latter is what provides the best consistency.

Boost circuits are only for single-battery VVs though; they take a standard 3.7V current and boost it to whatever voltage is required. Volts (and I believe the Bloog and Smoov as well) are 5V devices regulated down to 3.7V.

I started with the Blu and can poke fun at it now...but, it did introduce me to the world of vaping and got me off the stinkies. The best thing I learned with it was to refill the cartomizers. I even ended up with a homemade syringe tank on one because I hated constantly needing new cartos or juice.

Okay I called smokeless image and I CAN get a volt shipped to me... So now i am wondering will i have to buy all my carts from them? Or is there others compatible that I can order from cheaper places?

Nope, you can get cartos anywhere as long as they're KR808D-1 cartos. SI's cartos are just standard Kanger horizontal bottom coil 808s, same as Bloog and Smoov, and a number of vendors here in Canada have them. If you really want Volt-branded ones there's a vendor in Saskachewan that still carries Volt stuff. (Sadly, the only other vendor who carried Volt here in Canada, Best Vapour, closed up shop this month.)

If you don't have the vendors lists I'd be happy to PM you.
