I have ego batteries. I typically use clearos/cartomizers, my latest purchase was a vivi nova. However. I feel really stupid vaping in public with a vivi nova, or even with a regular atomizer and drip tip. I tried using a blu disposable and yea I feel less dumb in public with that. So I'm thinking of getting some pre-filled carts to have with me on the go so I don't look dumb/feel dumb and people will KNOW that I'm vaping and not smoking illegal drugs.
Suggestions?

Also
BLU-
My husband bought a blu disposable. it was great. but it died after like 2 days
& I'm not spending 80$ on their stupid kit.
I have ego batteries. I thought hey maybe blu prefilled carts would work on my batteries.
So we bought some vanilla ones and tried it. Nope they taste gross and burnt.
Will they work with 510 batteries?
Like I said I would like a smaller gas station type e-cig for public use and prefilled carts to throw in my purse without worrying about liquids leaking. Should I just buy a 510 battery or what?

I think Blu is 510 so your good there.

Worth checking out Halo, Volt, and a few others but they are 808 threaded.

The JoyeTech cigalikes will be 510 though.

Maybe the eRoll?

I believe it comes with 2 batteries, one stays in the portable charger and you use the other.

I know you said you feel weird about vaping in public, but that'll usually go away.

I was vaping on the sidewalk out front of a restaurant earlier and the Chief of Police drove by while I was vaping my Provari + AGA. He stared sooooo hard, but just kept driving.

Sounds as if You may need to boost up your self confidence a little and not worry about what people think.

There's a critic for everything that we do daily. Look past it. Good luck.

That eroll is pretty good, I bought my mother one and she loves it.. Only issues with it is you have to be a Slave to it . since the tank is small.

Your headline made me laugh because I have felt and thought the exact same thing. My eGo makes me feel like I am playing some ridiculous woodwind instrument. I am thinking a piccolo...

Glad to see the link to the eRoll. I had not heard of it but was considering the eGo mini. Good to know there are some options out there.

My only problem with those is the liquid amount and battery life: 90mah.

When I jumped from Blu to eGo and then got something bigger I felt funny doing it at work. After awhile I said screw it why am I worrying about it and totally accepted this is what I'm doing, now have an LT2 which is my biggest mod topped with an AGA-T2.

Maybe you need something like this to boost your confidence in public:

The first time a friend of mine saw me using my ego (which is, in the grand scheme of things, a fairly unassuming device), he stopped, and stared blankly at me for a minute.

Then, he put his hands in front of his face, one in front of the other, did a little jig, and said, "ooohh no I'm not smoking! I'm just playing the oboe!"

Made me laugh.

I know what you mean though. Cigarette size devices are inconspicuous and comfortable, but have horrible battery life and poor vapor ( by comparison at least.) And bigger things look pretty ridiculous. I was pretty happy with how the 'ego mega dual coil cartomizer' looked on an ego battery (stupid name, but its just a black tube with a flat tip, so it eliminates all the clear plastic and shiny parts and metal rings and logos and windows), but the performance was pretty awful on its namesake, the ego battery.

I went out tonight with the eroll. First time I vaped in front of large crowds and I didnt give a faarrk.

Well I still felt uncofortable in some situations but did better than I thought.

I had a couple of cigs but willingly chose the eRoll a lot more than than the cigs as the night went one, as the thought of smoking drunk made me sick.

When I first stared vaping I did vape first then cig if I really felt the need. Noticed 2 things: I didn't get much from the cig and it didn't taste that good. It really helped disconnect me from cigs.

Aw just got to the bathroom and vape then. Eventually you care less about other people think and think about what you are doing for your health.

At work I usually go outside just to take a break, but if I need a quickie I go to the bathroom or an unoccupied room.
