Hmm that doesn't sound pleasant, maybe I should just get a tank system from the start. I'm currently looking at the ion that has come up in a ad on this site, it says you can upgrade to an atomizer and drip tip? Is this like a tank system? BTW, you are a sweet heart for helping me thank you so much :)

I just looked up Ion Revolver? Is that what you're talking about? Looks like another super mini with unknown connection. Sorry, I've never heard of this model.

You're welcome. I've used both clearomizers and the Mini Vivi Nova- in this vid he's using a 3.5 ml....for the smaller PVs you would want the MINI Vivi Nova 2.0 ml. Trouble is the smaller min ecigs can't really handle the clearos and tanks.

So from what I understand now is the clearomizer (thanks Vapoor for the definitions!) is a good system, does anyone make one small and sleek like the blu style cig?

The link Vapoor sent me for the 510-T looks nice. About how long would a .5ml tank last, and how long do the atomizers last as well? Would I want to order replacements off the bat?

About 1 hour... :)

That's the problem with minis. That's why most of us move up to larger batteries and larger-capacity cartomizers/clearomizers.

I'm sure if I love the first mini I buy I will be upgrading as well :) Are you saying .5ml lasts an hour of straight vaping? I am going to be looking for high nic juice so I'm not constantly, also want something small for work. I work construction and want something small and portable to start....

    Everyone always wants to push people away from Blu but honestly I'm glad I started there and glad I still have it. I'm only 6 weeks in but last night was the closest night in those 6 weeks I've been to smoking a cig. I had tanks not working, carts not working, the juice I was using in my atomizers gives me heartburn... if my Blu wasn't there to save the day I might have gave in.

    I'd say try it if you really want, just know it's going to be a backup. And don't spend hundreds on prefilled carts like I did.

    Also, would 2 280mAh bats last me a day? That's why I was originally looking at blu, because of the PCC (learning all sorts of stuff tonight, should have joined last night lol)

    PCC is a must if you decide to get a mini.

    There's no way to tell; it depends on how much you're going to vape, how often, what strength. I use a 650 mAh eGos and Rivas and they last me more than a day, but I always have at least two or three going at the same time. I like to switch flavors.

    I started out with a Volt while waiting for my eGo to arrive and I found it to be a good mini to start with. It comes with 5 blank Cartos that you can reuse, it functions very well as a cig look alike. The battery isn't the longest lasting so you would need both to get through a day but I keep one charging while I use the other. Even with my eGo I only vape about a ml a day and I feel like I'm vaping almost constantly.

    Or less, depending on how aggressively you vape. :) There's no way to predict, really.

    I say get a Blu and a PCC, get some prefilled cartos, a little ejuice, if you can, to refill.

    You can use 510-T tank cartomizer on your Blu--it's the same thread.

    Experiment!

    And now I have to go to sleep!

    That's exactly what I said too. Twice! :)

    Sorry Vapoor, I'm getting it, slowly but surely. Think I'm going to bite the bullet and order the 510-T that you sent me in a link. Two last questions, is there a decent PCC somewhere available for this, and on atty's, how long do you think two would last? Good idea to order a couple spares off the bat? Thanks so much!! :)

    Shane, I have a couple of extra long 510 batteries (280 mAh) and I tried their 510-T (tank) atties. Vapoor is right; they are early, somwhat outdated systems and they have all kinds of problems. And they are not very user-friendly.

    If you like the Blu, get the Blu! You can get a couple of 510-T atties and try them on your Blu batteries.

    You should get what you want. We're here to help, but the decision is ultimately yours. Bottom line--they all work, it just takes some time to learn how they work.

    No matter what you get right now, I assure you that it won't be your last kit! Follow your heart!

    Hi from Vancouver ...
    For what it's worth I found the ego passthrough 1000 mah and Vision Stardust clearomizer a really easy introduction although a bit larger in size.
    Have my eye on an ego twist & a discreet little mini ego but since I am absent-minded and forget to charge things sometimes I think I would always want a passthrough on hand so I can vape while I charge.
    Good luck!
    PS probably a lot more reliable getting ejuice from a Canadian vendor than wondering about customs!

    And also much thanks to you Vapoor, I found a PCC and am ordering the 510-T now. Less than blu and seems like a good starter. You are a wonderful Canadian my friend :D I registered on canvape, still not seeing "everything" as you mentioned if that was a hint at getting what I crave.....any tips on that would be greatly appreciated, pm? Thanks again :D
