I'm not technical, still don't have a solid handle on ohms vs volts vs wattage vs blah blah blah 
, but I do know what I like and what I want. For me personally I could never get into the "ego" groove. Have one kit in my drawer and have given one away... Nor would I want anything bigger than the bp. Just not my style. For me the Ipro has hit my sweet spot. I love the diameter of it. It is a hair on the long side, but I can live w/that real easy . If you made something that diameter but shorter, I think it would appeal to alot of ppl. I would rather have something the od of the ip and longer batt life than something slimmer and less batt life. I don't see how you could go wrong with a set up like that. Just my

Gotta stack 2, use a buck regulator
About 170 ml of eliquid between swaps, need a larger tank.

Any more luck with boosting circuits? I don't like the idea of them conceptually--they strike me as too much of a band-aid--but if that band-aid meant the compact, one-battery package that had me so enthused the first time I heard about this project, I'd happily carry a spare battery in my other shirt pocket.
I have a 4.8V, 600mAh NIMH that's 2.625" long; not much of a boost needed.
Holy crap! That is for the belt-mounted model, right? battery attaches to belt, lead wire going to atty with a little shirt pocket clip on it, not that you need more toys to design
lol That's awesome!Holy crap! That is for the belt-mounted model, right? battery attaches to belt, lead wire going to atty with a little shirt pocket clip on it, not that you need more toys to design
This sounds awesome. I tried to keep up with all the tech talk that followed this post, but just couldn't follow all it all. So in short, are we still looking at something like this?? SS sounds awesome as well! And February/March will make it a nice B-day present for me!
Powerizer batts rock!
very nice design, just a bit taller than a joye 1,000 mah battery, for comparison
now about that button ... I was typing this while you were posting, but it still applies
as long as you're still tossing around ideas, here's my $ 0.02
I never saw or used an IP before I bought, I was sold on the performance, and no complaints about that ... I posted a rave review, but after using the IP, I've got a few nit-picks that maybe can be incorporated into the new shortie model
the damn button ... now I'm not a small guy, 6' 240, and my hands/fingers aren't overly meaty ... I play guitar so I'm not ham-fisted by any means ... but that button is waaay small for a man, imho ... I really miss the e-go sized button
I'm using a long-ish cart on my IP and I have to juggle the thing to get my fingers in position because the IP is bottom heavy with just a cart on top ... I suppose using a tank adds enough weight up top where it is more balanced, but with a light weight cart, etc, I have to fiddle with it to get my finger on the button
flipping the IP over and firing the button with my thumb is even worse ... I usually have to press the button with my thumbnail
finding the button without looking is hit or miss ... I've tried to fire the adjustment wheel more than a few times
I realize you're working with limited space, but a larger and taller e-go sized button would be most welcomed, imho ... I'm so frustrated with it that I've considered asking if you could mod it for me ... it would be worth the wait for me
I've even thought about just adding a glop of silicone or permatex on top of the button to make it easier to feel, find and fire ... the slick feel tube makes for more juggling to find the button ... I've seen the cigar tubes, too bulky, so I may use a tight leather wrap or rubber tape to get a better grip and isolate the button
that's my main complaint, and it is very frustrating for me ... however, the excellent performance over-rides my aggravation with the button, but just barely ... the IP itself is too long to carry comfortably in my shirt pocket, but I'm getting used to it ... it is un-balanced, but that only affects my finding and firing the button ... as I say, these are nit-picks and I know you don't mind hearing about 'em if it might make the next model better
yes BuzzKill, I would send it back if you would/could mod the button somehow (for a fee of course) ... it is that aggravating ... I don't expect it can be changed, so I'm going to do something with it myself or I'll stop using it out of frustration ... and hope the new shortie has a better button

it is nice but would also end up firing in your pocket unless the button will be recessed with the ego type button. what would be interesting is if the 5-click on/off function the ego now has is incorporated with the Envy
I COMPLETELY forgot about something. There IS a possibility of using a single battery. From what i've read and from watching a vaping show, Evolv (makers of the darwin and upcoming "Kick"), will be selling their tech to modders that want to implement it into their mods. It'll be the same tech as used in the Kick but with solder points for other features you want. Not sure on the full details but that could possibly change the mod all together.
The Kick IF it ever comes out is designed for a 18mm tube , this is a 17mm tube and I can make my own electronics , no need to buy from another vendor IMO !
I just want my Infinity EvvO, with the 16340's. After that, I will probably buy whatever else you release; belt looped battery packs and all!
I personally much prefer reduced runtime to voltage drop lol - we're on the same page.
Too bad you have to pull your whole mod apart to adjust.. Fail.
I am going to do a Max ( 16340) and Micro version ( if the batts I am getting are for real , I am told they are 300 mah 14250 ???? )
I will start with the MAX or EvvO , then move on to the EvvO uM
