I finally found the answer to the mini vs. grand debate..

[NicLiq]

You need one of each

 

[bsampson]

Yup! Totally agree.

So besides a more compact size, what are the advantages of a mini over a grand?

 

[Twisty]

None. Unless shorter vape time and softer hit is an advantage. The size makes the mini very pocket friendly so it's nice to have also.

 

[fray]

I'll stick with the grand. It fits in my pocket fine

You need one of each

I have to disagree here. One must have TWO of any particular PV (for backup), thus, the correct answer would be "two of each"

 

[banjo]

What you really need is one of the Minis, one of the Grands, one of the old Woodies, and at least one of the new Woodvil models. They are all great mods.

I'm with puffer's answer. :3
But I'm with having at least 1 of everything! (At least if I had the money for it. )

I had the grand first and I thought that it really didn't make sense to get a mini, but I had a weak moment the other night and somehow pressed "add to cart." It never looked much smaller to me in pictures, but when you hold it, it's tiny. I think its what I'll bring with me when I'm out of the house and I'll keep the grand at my desk. RTDvapor sells a cool little zippered pouch that has both a key chain and a carabiner clip and I put it on my keys with a bottle of juice and a charged battery in it.

So far I can't tell any difference in the way it vapes, but I've never tried the grand at 5v.
