That doesn't look too bad, still looks like the tank is slightly bigger than the battery though. I did look around the site you linked and I do not see replacement parts for that tank either. Do you have a source for those?

Sorry to be a stickler on size but I normally carry these things in my front pocket. Anything too big and it becomes hard to sit down. I also carry my Samsung Galaxy S3 (which is also quite large) in my pocket as well, so leaking could turn into an absolute disaster. Would some sort of clearomizer be a better choice here?

Before you ask, I carry the phone and ecig in the same front pocket because my keys are in the other front pocket and would scratch up the phone or the ecig if I put them in the same pocket.

I haven't seen any replacements there, but really, 4 bucks for a tank? That's what replacement parts cost elsewhere...:D If you want to learn about tanks, this is the way to go.

The diameter of the tank is the same as that of an eGo battery.

Do NOT carry your Galaxy and your PV in the same pocket! Just don't!

Or get an SD Key Chain ring. It's automatic, tiny, hits better than any mini battery, and can be used with any 510 threaded head, including Boge cartos (or eGo threaded head with a 501>eGo adapter).

And you can attach it to your key ring.:)

What is the parts list on this pic? This looks like something I would be interested in...the whole setup.
Silverlock may be right in that I should just stick to the standard cartos...at least while mobile. With my standard auto-battery and cartos I have never had a drop leak out while in transport. I have occasionally had a drop get on the mouthpiece while actively vaping though.

Thank you. I think I am done for now. I will probably continue using the cig-a-like batteries + Boge LR cartos for traveling.
As far as my home setup, I am now down to a very short list of batts and tanks. I mainly need to decide for myself if I want to try a wick based tank (Vivi Nova Mini) or a carto based tank (Boge F15) first.

Thank you for all of your help.

That mini with a Joye drip atty would be amazing!

I keep my eGo with Phoenix in my front pocket. The Phoenix is slightly larger in diameter than the battery, but it has never cause and issue. But, i'm talking a few mm overhang. I haven't found a tank I like yet, but I also switch flavors like crazy. For $4, that's cheaper than a traditional atty. So, if you break it/it blows, you buy another and paid the same amount as a basic atty. If you're looking for something that is streamlined on the eGo, go with a eGo-T atty (the tank one) and a package of "tanks" for it. Will be streamlined, and you can carry a few flavors with you. The atty is slightly rebuildable, i.e. you can replace the wick.

As for the battery you got, I think it's the same one I have. Mine's a true Joyetech though, but same thing. eGo with mini-USB port on the front for charging while vaping. Got mine in the 900mah rating too. Love it, and have had it since September (with a month or two of no vaping) and it's still kicking strong! Looking back though, I kind of wish I had gotten the 1100mah rating just to get that little bit longer between charges.
