I tuck my protank/twist into my waistband at work for stealth vaping. Today I'm working away on a patient and hear the sizzle! She heard it too, but I played dumb, "what was that sound?":facepalm:

I need a new stealth vaping device. I love my KFL, but even the mini is pretty big. IG, I like that microstick, but does it have other tank options besides the spheroid? I need to research it more. Anyone else have ideas for something on the small side? I want rebuildable.

You can get a mini gen from them as well...I got one but haven't tried it yet. There was a picture of Sophia in a tank out on the site last night...unfortunately all attys are pretty pricey. I'd keep an eye on the thread as others will probably post pics of their serup

Protank makes a mini version too. I clean/fill it every two weeks for my wife. Original coil that came with it. Still use the flavor wicks too.

Pix when you get yours Dreamer.

Here you go:

This thing is not nearly as tall as what pictures make it look like. I was thinking about ordering a 18350 mod down the road, but after how small this thing is I am not sure thats something I want. Very impressed with the quality of this thing, the threading is very nice and tight.

Only issue I have with it is, I cant for the life of me get the airholes and logo to lineup with each other. Maybe it isnt possible, but it sure seems like it would look better if it did!!!

WooHoo! Looks nice Dreamer. My air holes don't line up with the logo either. Guess I never gave it any thought because I don't care. Just me. You need to get the air holes on the brass ring to line up with the dimples though (you probably know that). Yes, the Neme is quite short. It's a mech so don't have all the electronics to house like with a regulated mod. Here is a picture of my Neme next to my Provari....both are in 18650 mode. Like the Phoenix atop. That's what I have on mine too. :)

I found the Sophia after I posted that. I see a lot of research in my weekend ahead. I'm tired of dealing with the protanks, and while I don't want to spend a fortune, I will for quality.

Edit: learned that with the KFL. It's so easy and awesome.

The REOS mini has a fire button that can twist clockwise to a 'lock' position. Many of the Ladies in REOVille like this feature as they carry their mods in their pocketbooks. With an RM2 RBA, it's about the size of a pack of cigarettes. A mini 2.1, or metal 18490, is about 1/8 of an inch thicker, and carries a slightly larger battery for those whose work long shifts. Around $140, and the RM2 is another $43. Nothing beats the durability of a metal REOS, period.
If you wait two weeks, mini Woodvils will be available. I believe they have an on/off switch recessed into the bottom, and are quite attractive.

Or, you can keep spending $27 two months ago, and $38 this month, and ? three months....

The picture on the left are mine. The small silver one is a mini, the brownish (copper vein) is a mini 2.1, or metal 18490. The larger purple one is a VV Grand, and while it is an excellent PV, it would not be good for 'stealth vaping'.

Yep I did manage to get those two to line-up.

When I first got the Vamo eveyone was talking about how BIG it was, when I got it I thought this isnt that big. Then I got the Provari and I thought hmmmm the Vamo is kind of big after all. It now seems like a GIANT towering above the Neme!!!

And an SVD is even taller than a Vamo. The only thing missing from the SVD is King Kong swaying around on top of it. :)

Nice looking REOS Papaw!!!
I have one of them on my short list of stuff I want to get.

Land sakes alive! All that time!

KFC is finally in the house!!!! (well, office).

1st impressions... granted, its a clone, but it is still an impressive piece of machinery; lots of parts and bits and things to go wrong. :) And it's a big boy, that's for sure. It's on my 18650'd Vamo, and it looks like a big flashlight. Once my 350s are charged, I'll be shortening that thing down right quick.

It was pretty dirty.. threads had a lot of machining goo on them and it took a fair amount of patience to clean out the fill port, which was rather fouled with black dust/shavings. But I got it cleaned up. I threw on a simple wick... 2mm with a 10 wrap 28g.. hand wrapped... nothing fancy. I'll probably go the microcoil/cotton route tonight when I get home. But took a little finesse to get things together... kind of complicated to get everything all squared away. Threads are smooth, everything fits together nicely.

OK... filling the bloody thing... My fill bottle has a gauge that is JUST small enough... I can fill it, but it seems to have a tendancy to blow back a bit... but I got it filled and the valve must be doing its job since it isn't leaking.

OK, even with the air flow all the way open, it's a wee bit tight... I guess I have to expect that as the air flow I am use to is some rather wide open RDAs... but I think my coil is a little too close to the vent... next time I fill it, I'll take care of that right off. But the vapor and flavor is pretty good. It's not quite as good as my trident clone, but the higher capacity should make up for that I guess. Maybe once I get the coil sorted, it'll improve.

I'll say this though, if I was coming from evods, vivis or Protanks, I'd be extremely impressed with it. But I've been vaping on VFTh heavyweights (IGO-l, Nimbus and Trident clones) so for me, it's more the convenience of a tank and no worries about leaks that got my attention.

So first impressions: nice bit of kit. Good vapor and flavor and if it doesn't leak, it'll be a nice addition. Maybe it is just me being cheap, but it's a nice RBA (?) for $21 but I wouldn't pay 4 or 5 times more for it.
