I'm pretty sure that's the latest one I bought (Bloog, right?), and so far I'm loving it. The only thing is it's still a lot bigger than the first one I bought. The first one I can go out in public with and as long as no one is looking hard enough, it looks like I'm smoking a regular cigarette. There's no faking with the Bloog, those things are HUGE compared to the Marlboro shorts I used to smoke:ohmy:

So you are saying you want people to still think you smoke???

Having a battery that works as well as say, a Darwin or Provari or GLV2 in an analog size just won't happen, IMO. They've been trying to make batteries small enough to run a car with the SAME endurance and performance as gasoline does for over 60 years and it hasn't happened yet.

The real question is why would you want to fake anybody out. The entire point is to quit the analogs and improve your health so who cares what others think.
I want others to know that I am not smoking and that there isn't any second hand smoke that will bother them. Plus it usually raises interest and others inquire about the devices and want more info on them.
vape and do it proudly!!!

Well stated.

I'd like a PV that was super small but performed as well as my Riva510. For me, it isn't about being discrete, but a matter of convenience. When I leave for work, everything I need for the day is in my pocket. Sorry, but I'm not carrying a fanny pack, or diabetic case, or some sort of lanyard type set up for my PV.

When I smoked, the pack of cigs went in my pocket, and the lighter was in the pack of cigs. In my other pocket was my wallet and my cell. I do not want or need to carry around more crap. The Riva510 is dangerously close to being too large for my preference, but I live with it because of the battery life. I sure as heck ain't gonna fit a mod in my pocket without someone wanting to know if that's my e-cig or am I just happy to see them. :p

I know some mod fans will say it's not a big deal to carry one, and it's worth the size for performance trade off. If a mod keeps someone smoke free, it's all good. But for me, I want a small personal vaporizer that performs like the larger ones, holds a ton of juice so I can ditch carrying the 5ml refill bottle, and comes in the color of my choosing.

I'd also like a pony. :laugh:

No differently than other technology driven devices, personal vaporizers will eventually become smaller with better performance. It's a matter of time, really. Until then, vape em if you got em.

Lol, yeah. It'd be nice. I drive a stick and a cigarette-sized PV is reaaaallllly nice while driving. Or other situations where you just don't feel like juggling something heavy and frankly awkward. My Reo is great for sitting and surfing the net, or whatever, at home but out and about? A smaller PV that I don't need my whole hand wrapped around would be *perfect*. That didn't die immediately, obviously. I was on the road for about two hours today and both my 510 batteries died, leaving me to flail hopelessly with my Reo, the gearshift, and my coffee. It was ugly. The cat I was ferrying around ended up with some coffee on him I think...
