Oh I'm not dumping my BP, she paid her dues so I married her...LOL.. just wondering.
Oh it definitely wont be REPLACING my Buzz (gasps at the thought!) but it will be the one I throw in my purse when out and about.It is so stinkin cute!!!!
It has 1mm of slack for the 16340 batts so a 17mm ID more than enough room IMO .5,, wall Stainless steel , we will also have painted COLORS for you all ( including some PINK for the ladies )
it would be a short IPro in SS with a 510 conn. BUT at a lower price point.
I may need to get rid of some of the Ipro's first !!!
The search continues for batts or a design that is boosted , this is gonna take some time !
This would no doubt be a cool product. And as alluded to, would be the choice of many over the IPro.
Maybe make this as stated and name it something like IPro Stealth?
I say find the very best batteries available, but keep it eGo sized regardless of run time. Size matters!
Most all eGo and stick battery vapers are used to carrying extra batteries when on the go anyway. Just took a peek in the wife's converted eyeglass carrying case and it has an 1100mah eGo, and 4 280mah 510's. Now that's planning ahead LOL.
I always have a spare pair of batteries with me for my IPro. Would be no more troublesome to carry a couple of spare pairs for a smaller PV instead.

That is a good idea and info !! thanks it helps it really does !
MAybe 2 sizes the MINI ( 16340 ) and the Micro (Cr2 ) ??
But wouldn't it be easier to just stick with what you are using now? like i mentioned, VV would be pointless if the vape time is short (3.75 hours MAX depending on what Buzzkill did to get the most life). plus the plan so far is to use 2 batteries stacked. with that kind of vape time, you'd have to carry 2 or 3 sets with u (total 4-6 single batts).
With all do respect, I don't think VV is ever pointless. If I recall correctly KP, you said that you haven't used VV and almost bought the BP until you saw this. (please forgive me if I'm wrong). I don't think batt life should be the focus of the eVVo.
I so wanted a mini IP that I bought some 14250's and was working with a local machine shop to cut down my IP to make one. I made a spacer for my IP, put in the 14250's and I was getting 2-3 hours of fairly hard vaping of them and I was very happy with that. It makes it perfect for a night out for dinner and a movie. I vape in restaurants and heavy vaping in the theater. I either use my BP or a 14500 mod depending in how stealth I need to be. I was all set to go until one night when Mike posted "Too much time on my hands LOL" and came up with this idea. And the rest is history
What ever this turns out to be, I want it and it will never replace my BP or IP but will be my stealth device.
FWIW you aught to rethink about getting a BP or IP for yourself now ( a great Christmas present) and get the eVVo when it comes out. I promise you'll love it. I think to Mike's benefit, when it does come out, people will buy them and then want to go bigger for home and buy BP's and IP's.
Mike, keep on your track for size because with your IC batt like will be OK to good. I have the PS Icon and it's 90x17mm and it is minuscule !!! So if you're around 102x18mm and with your circuitry you got a winner !!!
That is a good idea and info !! thanks it helps it really does !

On battery life, what do the "VV" ego's get for batt life. I can't imagine they get any better batt life than what Mike is trying to achieve, just saying.
Nor can I.
Also, a stutter-step selection between 4.2, 3.7 & 3.2V is, IMHO, a choice between wimpy, super-wimpy and altogether impotent.
EDIT: Sorry, LD. It's my nature to be an opinionated, overbearing SOB.
Not pointless at all. In fact that is the point.
If one's primary concern is battery life, then one can choose the larger design. For the market segment that wants something tiny, but VV they buy the "micro". I'd bet many would have both.
That would be hilarious to see. lol 2 26500's would probably last a few days at least. A day to a day and half for me.True but in VV, bigger doesn't mean longer battery life. If u look at the provari, it has a bigger battery but it has pretty much the same vape time as the BP. I read in the vari threads and came across a post of someone that vapes almost exactly like me from the voltage, carto, and amount of juice and he only gets 5-6 on a charge. The only way i can go bigger in battery is going with a box mod that uses 2x 18650s using a step down type regulator like the buck regulator. Although i HAVE looked into that before getting my evercool 14500, it was TOO large to want to vape on for me.
in terms of size. I have thought about it and find that the 2 sizes would probably be good. ENVY and ENVY MICRO. I can't remember exactly but is the size of the CR2 batts 15mm? if so, that would be very close to the eGo thickness![]()
I JUST thought of something and wondered what it would look like to see a boost regulated pv that uses 1 26500 batt?! that would be NUTS or even stacking 2x 26500 with a buck regulator! I'd call that mod "MUCHO GIGANTE" hahaha
That would be hilarious to see. lol 2 26500's would probably last a few days at least. A day to a day and half for me.![]()
lol yea, I'm a heavy vaper to. I go thru about the same in a day, sometimes more.It would probably be the same for me too haha! especially since i vape 6-8 ML a day, it would be nice to have one VV mod that will last the entire day haha! Despite it's size, i might find myself bringing it out with me into public once in a while just for the "holy s%#t! wtf is that?!" kind of attentionrofl!
I'd DEFINITELY buy one![]()
Eff the norm, I say. Being different is being original. Oh, and you're not old, just matured to perfection.I live in a small town and I get the same reaction when I whip out my Buzz! I carry ECF cards in my purse so the wtf factor doesn't bother me.
But then again, I'm the old woman who dyes her hair hot pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month so I'm used to those wtf looks from people![]()
