They're curious about your PV. I have a SD KeyRing that I use at Concerts. There was no Mini eGo at the time and I LOVE it. Mini eGo is the best as it's 400 mah- it's made by Vision. Let me look around and find a deal for you. If you have a eGo styl;e PV all you'd need is a battery- about $10- $12.00 and works with the same eGo charger.
The best deal right now is the VV/ VW Vamo which I use at home cuz it's so large. A great Starter Kit with great batteries and charger for under $50- free delivery and my orders take about 11 days cuz they're in Hong Kong. FT is a GREAT company to deal with and has GREAT CS.
It's called a bottom feeder and the bottle in the PV is squeezed and juice drip on to an atomizer- amazing vape but has a learning curve.
wow thx for all this great info. please pass along your hong kong connection as Im looking to get an 'outside' unit for this summer specifically. Thanks for your help in finding a good deal on the mini ego Ill probably pick one up this weekend for my birthday. The bottom feeder might be something I need to try out and have a bit of coaching to effectively use it. I dont mind fiddling around on the learning curve but it seems like a unit like that would be expensive and knowing my luck I'd do something stupid to mess it up and end up with either costly repairs or having to replace it before having a chance to really enjoy it. They 'look' awesome though.
In regards to the 'in public' thing I'd agree with you that some are curious but of the ppl that walk by me with a funny look I'd guess by their facial expression/body language and hrumphing or huffing they think Im vaping/smoking dope. I live in Vancouver BC right so green is super common around these parts. While most ppl will tell you they dont have a problem with it and that may well be very true- in a non-public enviroment. MOST ppl over the age of 40 have ZERO respect for smoking dope in public and the odd one will have no problem telling you how much they dislike it. I think many ppl probably think its dope and would love to vilify me for it but they cant smell dope, so they dont. Just my perception.
This has really only started to bother me over the past week, and especially at work when I go outside to vape. when I had carts it was a lot easier to hide the whole unit in my hand, but now I have this vivi nova its a bit of a beacon lol
