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 !!!

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?

The search continues for batts or a design that is boosted , this is gonna take some time !

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.

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).

the cr2 would be awesome if there were batts that can last as long as a bp or ip :D you would then have the smallest VV tube mod in the market (from what i know) :D

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 !!!

along with my IP, I own a Go-go 1300 batt, which feels well in the hand, perfectly sized and slightly weighty ... it's shorter than the 1,000 Joye, and slimmer than my IP ... fits a shirt pocket well and with a 510 adapter and mega atty or short mega cart, it easily lasts me 4-5 hrs and 2-3ml at a time ... I only mention it because I doubt many have tried or own any Go-go stuff, much less this 1300 Go-go batt, it's very comfortable and seems exactly what you guys are talking about <shrug> I prefer something this small to take out in public, that's why I bought it, even if not vv ... sry if mentioned before

I actually have a Krimson Kustoms evercool box mod that i vape with daily. uses the 2x 14500s. I like my vapes between 8 and 10 watts so thats why i emphasized battery life. My current set up allows me only 4 hours of hard vaping :( I REALLY do wish for a stealth VV tube mod but i'd love it to last even 6 hours of hard vaping mainly because i'm spending a fair chunk of my day stealth vaping (work, school, etc.) but i want to be able to take the pv out and about afterwards while only having to take 1 extra set of batts for the whole day. I am considering a big mod for home and for going out but budget doesn't allow it. I've got a 5v passthrough coming in for when i'm at home so i'm just looking for something to take out with me that is pocketable, vv, and a tube for now. I actually like what he has set up for the envy right now! 18mm thickness, 4" length, 16340 batts, SS body, and buck regulator makes it seem like a dream! I'm just hoping that there will be a flush top cap available for it. I may buy 2 of them if that happens (one daily, one incase that one gets sent to hospital) xD


Also...VERY interesting thing to do with ur Ipro man! I would never have the balls to take it to a machine shop to mod...a mod LOL!

Mike, that would be the perfect solution IMO. Along with the Buzz Pro, and VVPV that gives people a full range of options all built around the same proven controller. Would be like Lays Potato Chips, no one can have just one.

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.

Size matters; small is good in this case. :blink: :)

I have my Buzzes - and will always have them and use them. But I need/want something VV that is for my pocket at work as well - and carrying around extra batteries is a non-issue in my book. I carry them anyways being the 9-10 watt girl I am and working 12+ hour shifts at times.

A Buzz for the breakroom, home, car; an Envy/eVVO/micro/mini for while I'm on the floor; stealth PV in pocket, sneaking a vape whenever time permits.

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.

PI, everything has its market. If my Infinity or Infinity Pro were smaller, I wouldn't have issues using it in public. I do use them everywhere else though, even in my video reviews.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tank-reviews/247300-gummy-tank-review.html

See!!! So, once the EvvO comes out, I will use that when out-and-about.


Oh, I am going to review the VV eGo this weekend, and pit it up against the Infinity Pro... guess which one is better. :)


Update: Someone brought to my attention, that the video shouldn't be embedded here. So, I moved it to a link. Sorry if I offended anyone. I forget that NotCigs has a tank also.

Hey, I should review that one too! ;-)

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. :p

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 attention :laugh: rofl!

I'd DEFINITELY buy one :)

lol yea, I'm a heavy vaper to. I go thru about the same in a day, sometimes more.

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 :blink:
Eff the norm, I say. Being different is being original. Oh, and you're not old, just matured to perfection. ;)
