Currently tried out e-cigs decided to grab one from a local bacco shop and honestly I love it! I use to smoke a pack a day, i've come down to a pack every 3-5 days and am just ready to quit. Though I've slowed down smoking , I definitely smoke the e-cig way more than i would normally smoke. Since I've picked up the this little $12 kit 2 days ago, i've only smoked about 3 cigs, but i can definitely tell I need something much more powerful to keep my urges down.

That being said I've stumbled across this great forum and am trying to wrap my head around all this and need some help.

I would like to build a little stealth but powerful vaporer. I am thinking of getting a mini eGo 400mAh battery or something similar.

from there I am a bit lost what are all the necessary parts i will need? I don't want anything to large, im looking for something i can have in public small and slick yet get me through the day.

anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on the little build?

What ever battery you use if you go with all VG or at least low PG you will produce less visible vapor and if you hold it just a second or two when you exhale you will not put out much if any visible vapor.
I hate the little cig look a likes they make some smalls and with a small carty on top you don't show much. Have it look like a pen. Think there is even one that clips in your pocket dont' remember the name.

Moving away from the tobacco flavor helps a lot or at least it did for me.

I use mini egos from Health cabin. They are 3.7 volts, regulated. I will say that its about as stealthy as your going to get. I have them set up with LR cartomizers or with Kanger M3 clearomizers. With a normal cartomizer the whole set up is about the size of a Bic lighter. With the clearomizer its about the size of a sharpie marker. I usually leave with 2 of them charged and a small 10ml bottle of juice to top off my cartomizers during the work day. They will last all day and usually into the night. I also have a eGo twist but it is not even close in size. I think you will be very happy with them. The best part is they are $10.00 a piece it's not breaking the bank. Good luck.

It might be a typo, but that's the exact opposite of my experience. More VG => more vapor.

As for something really stealth, a mini eGo sounds right up your alley. They're tiny. Unfortunately, they also don't hold much power……I'd need 3 or 4 of them to make it through a day.

Or a Gripper, except that they're really cheaply made: it'll probably wear out before the batteries you'd have to buy would. The original was apparently made by an ECF member on a 3d printer so he'd have something he could hide completely in his hands at his kid's soccer games or something like that (all hearsay).

The Altsmoke BB is also pretty small. It takes IMR 14500 batteries, which are the size of a AA battery. A BB with a low resistance cartomizer and a skinny carto tank would be pretty small and would give a pretty good vape.

Also, I don't know why you want stealth, I assume you have your reasons, but I'd like to chime in that I've received basically zero negative comments/effects/whatever from just vaping an eGo Twist with a Vivi Nova tank in public. Cops don't care. Other people don't care. Occasionally a passer-by will laugh, presumably thinking I'm vaping that other plant people smoke. The most people will do is ask if it's a portable hookah, and then only if they have some other reason to talk to me……or if they know what e-cigs/PVs are and are curious. So, take that into consideration if you're just worried about normal people on the street.
