Most discreet but effective e-cig ? Elips, Sd Keyring...

[oupsone]

Hi,I'm new to e-cig, many of my friends had switch smoking to vaping and i must admit that i've been seduced !I actually own an Ego type with DCT carto.Work pretty good but not the most discreet thing ( especially considering that my batteries are T-rex ) , wich is your favorite configuration for "on the go", I've seen those Sd keyring thats looks to work fine, and has an automatic battery, ( wich i like for driving ect... ) or the Ovale elips ( That is apparently a more durable e-cig but no automatic battery and pretty expensive ) ?Have anyone compared those two or anything in the same sizes ? 306a or cigarette's like don't seem very effective on vapour amount...Am i wrong ?I've read many posts on those but can't really find a comparison by someone who had both...ThanksPs : Sorry for my english, still learning !

Hi and welcome to the ECF.

I'm sorry but I don't have experience with either the SD or the elips. I thought about acquiring the SD but decided the carto and small battery didn't fit my needs.

For discrete I prefer something that doesn't look like a cigarette and doesn't need a lot of fiddling (ie topping off cartos). I use a Vapage Vmod 2.0. Its a small bottom feeder with a 4 ml bottle and a 14500 batt (both lasts for hours of constant vaping without attention) inside a small nicely rounded/shaped box. It fits nicely in the hand; can provide clouds of vapor but allows a stealthy sip-and-hold-breath for those times you want to vape undetected. It is manual but can be easily used one handed.

The most effective stealth pv I've ever tried is Ken's Box Mod - Little Sister. It's a varivolt, small size box mod (the size of bic lighter).
I have a sdkey ring, the problem is: you have to suck it like eating a watermelon with a straw. Not pleasant.

Thanks ! Haven't seen this one before, look to work really nice !

i'd suggest a madvapes rough stack. it's small enough to fit in your fist, has a big enough battery to get you through a day and is modular designed. Having a modular design is VERY nice. With a modular device you simply replace the part that fails rather then trashing the whole ego style battery when say just the switch fails. Also if you ever want to go up to high voltage vaping you can get just the maxi roughstack battery tube and can stack batteries.

Personally i love dripping at home but if your talking on the go vaping cartos is where it's at.

I made my own, and it's not hard to do. Cost all of $2.20. About the same size as my index finger, cartomizer and all.

Madvapes Roughstack is nice and small, but their new Gripper looks like the perfect palmable vape with a XL Dual Coil Carto.

I am going to look into one of those! Is there a place to buy that little guy on your finger? I would never be able to build one but it looks great.

I use the SD keyring for work. I have to stealth vape. The super mini cartos from madvapes are fantastic on it. I have medium sized girlie hands and can hide the whole setup...even use a shorty drip tip on it.

Thanks for your answers, nice mod tj 99959 ! None had compare it to Elips ?

@Hairball,would you mind taking a picture of your SD with a super mini carto ?
Thanks

Never tried the Elips. I mainly use a GGTS but had to go into hospital recently & found the SD Keyring ideal for Stealth Vaping For such a small e-cig, it packs a punch & better battery life than a ciggie lookalike

I tried someone's trog keyring mod and it worked very well!! I would definitely recommend that for stealth and size. It does work a little better than my 808s. I have mods too, and I have a little 510 jambox from Kalamazoo vapor shop that works very well also. It is a pretty small box mod. Tho a mini roughstack or a trog keyring are smaller. I do think I have to buy one of those trog mods with shorty cartos in the future....almost did at vapebash...

That SD Keyring is nice and its only like 20$ I am getting one of those for sure! I usually just run a standard Boge carto on a standard 180mah 510 battery. All my stuff is threaded for 510 so it was simple for me to just order the smallest auto batteries that I could for it. It serves its purpose when I need portability.

This is a couple of my SD keyring. One with a super short carto, the other one using boge carto on a super mini tank.

 

[oupsone]

Thanks, everybody !

I'm ordering a SD Keyring, i'm decided.

@B4DJ1N64N I saw this configuration with the super mini Tank on another thread, I just love it !
As I'm a user of tanks, this would be perfect, are the Boge carto all the same size ( 35 mm / 1,5 inch ) or is it a particular one ?
Did you cut the tank of a DCT V2, or you bought one taht already that small ?
Thanks !

I have an elips and I like it, it produces a lot of vapor for a small device. The tanks themselves are a bit 'leaky' for me sometimes, although usually it is just condensation as the vapor wraps around the tank to get to you. The tank needs to be seated very well, and i have found I have to help the atty poke the hole in the membrane cap of the tank. The atty is very large (I think) and does a good job. I have had it for about 2 months, I ordered it from apollo and it came with 2 complete units. I did order extra tanks for it, as I used some cinnamon right away and cracked the tank quickly. The built in pass-through is nice and I find that I tend to use them while on-line as I can just plug them into the lap-top. Battery life for me has not been really good but with the pass-through that tends to not be a big issue for me. I have found juices that don't give me good flavor on my other devices (ego, LT, off-brand 808) will liven up on the elips. The device does lend itself to stealth vaping just becasue it is small enough to basically 'hide' in your hand.

Sorry for not replying. I use regular size Boge LR with a shortened Smoktech Slim DCT (a.k.a V2). Just cut 10mm of the tube.

Thank You !

Hi just got me one of these sd mod by Trog and i have to say it is a very nice mod for being stealthy vaper.

I am still using it with the stock charge but i am producing good vapor (cause of the included cartos) i bought myself some lr cartos after the stock ones fail.

I noticed that those SD's are auto batt's, can you get a good draw on them before they cut out? Does it have a auto 2-3 second cutoff?
