I've been looking around the forum for about 30 minutes and just can't find an up to date cigarette style best battery. My situation right now is that, I do have my kicked silver bullet with a j-tank. I mean how better can that get? lol. But idk, lately I've just been uncomfortable taking out my "crack-pipe" in public. I was curious about getting some cigarette style batteries, for those situations and for backup as well because I don't have a back-up. I mean an ego yeah could be an awesome back up but say 2 cigarette style batteries, maybe cost a little more, would also do me well in those public situations. I've been kinda looking around vendors and the best I can find is the joye 510-t short battery (looking for cigarette style, not penstyle). Post what you think is the best in your opinion. For me though, I'm looking for a 510 connection and automatic battery. And if the voltage could be regulated that would be awesome too but I doubt they make them regulated. thanks

Find yourself a stealth style VV maybe... I endured 4 months of pain with the 510 style ciggie lookers, and was very frustrated by the shortness of the lil battery... I could burn out 2 batteries before I got home from work and drinks after... Would have to stop at the gas station and buy a disposable to get me through the evening... As far as the "looks", I look back and smile and say "Electric Nicotine ...." and then laugh... :p

Whether the batteries last you or not depends on how much u use the things.

When I was using a very cheap, "petrol station", stick model, what I think was a 180 Mah, I only charged it once at the end of each day.

And you can get sticks that hold 280, or the larger 360s too.

As for whats the most modern IDK? Defo no expert. I am probably getting some kanger 808d1 thread's @ 280 Mah. They are flood and sound restistant, and I beleive pretty good.

If your a chain vaper, you might want something 360 Mah. Theres one on here people often talk about, I forget the name though. Green sound has a 360, thats a 510 connection, but dunno if its flood and sound resistant or not? It is a 2011 release.

I dont beleive there are any regulated voltage batteries in any stick models I am aware of. Be cool if there was any that were regulated. Having a tail off on strength as your battery runs low kinda sucks.

I was thinking the other day, that it would be awesome if there were stick models that were modern, high capacity etc, AND regulated, but also gave a slight peak in the voltage output when you puffed harder, so you could control the voltage via puffing style (ie puff harder, get more vapour, like a ciggie).

Lol @ the crack pipe thing :D

you need to find the lesser of the 2 evils. walking around with a crack pipe looking sb or dealing with the frustration of a cig a like. there shouldnt be a reason for you to feel uncomfortable in public. youre not doing anything wrong. though you should have another mod. get another mod that uses a 18650/18500 with kick.

yeah but I only vape 5-10 minutes at a time at work. Idk it looks interesting. But I would need the pcc for that 90 mah battery and the kit is expensive. That's why i'm interested in 510 batteries, last a little longer and I can use all my 510 stuff already so its more like 10 or 15 bucks compared to 70. I'll probably just pick up a 510-t battery, if I don't like it then im only out less than 20.

Before I got my eGo, I was using a V2 for a few months, and I liked it a lot. Thought it was the best thing in the world, actually. You can choose between a few different colors, and the batteries last for a good while (for me chain vaping throughout the day, all day). The only thing that I started getting tired of was the flavors. Don't get me wrong, they've got a decent selection of flavors, but after a while, I really just stuck to coffee and menthol.

Smokeless Image is well known here on ECF as a company with quality products, great customer service, and fast shipping. I can highly recommend them because I got my start in vaping with them. I've since moved on to a Silver Bullet and Provari, but that doesn't stop me from recommending SI.

If you truly want to blend in with the crowd and stealth, order white batteries. Their cartomizers only come in black and stainless steel, but they do sell "wraps" that are stickers that can allow the cartos to look like an analog's filter tip.

What about the ovale emini or joyetech eroll? The battery yes is 90 mah which is dumb, but apparently its somehow 3.7v and the pcc is very attractive
Both the ovale emini and joyetech eroll looks very classy, but so is the price. Between the two I would choose the joyetech eroll kit because it comes with 2 batteries. That way I can use one while the other is charging in the PCC. It depends how much you're willing to spend. I'm not a big spender, so I rather settle for a standard 510 for $30-$35 LoL.

Im a fan of V2 and V4L for cig lookalikes. The V2 Liquimax is pretty nice too if you pull the metal cap up just a hair because the betas dont seem to have enough flow. If you dont pull the metal wick cap up a bit it just burns a bit for the first 10-20 puffs on a fresh batt. If you dont like their flavors you can even refill the regular cartos. Had bad luck with the standard blanks, but the prefilled carts, and refilling has worked out well


I also ordered an eroll to try out, hoping to see how it fares with me and putting it in and out of the case every 15 minutes for a quick few vapes all day.

nah i'm looking for cigalike, i do hope to get an ego vv, the one with the screen that goes 3.0-6.0v, but im not looking for an ego. When i smoked i always had the cigarette in my mouth, and inhaled while the cigarette was in my mouth, its something i like to do sometimes and i think thats one thing i go back on.

Volt mini for me.

I've only used them and will stay with them. They're tiny. They last for a coupla hours at a time. They are regulated to 3.7 volts and Smokless image is a top-notch vendor.

I use them with the CE3 tank (clearomizer) and they work amazingly well. It's an 808 connection.

To me, it's the perfect "blend in, stealth" set up around.
