Like many vapers I’ve progressed through the Blus, then 510s, am now happily using an eGo – but I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on a ‘mod’. After lots and lots of reading reviews, fan pages, etc. – I’ve decided that the GLVs are the way to go. I do have some questions though, and could really use help so I can make the best choices possible (I’m a student on very limited funds).

I’m happy with the 3.7v I get with my eGo batts, so I don’t think I need the 5v – but Mini or Super Mini? Ladies, I’d like to hear from you on this (or guys, your SO’s) – which one feels best in the hand? What do you think? Is the super-mini just a cuteness factor? Is it about battery life? I really do like small…

Drippers, what about leaking? I’m a dripper -I keep my atty very wet, and the eGo cone helps to keep the juice off my hands and pockets, but what about dripping with this unit? I’ve tried cartos and they just don’t work for me and I can’t afford to try every new tank system hoping it works. Should I just wait till they build a better mousetrap? My worries here aren’t just mess, but keeping the PV in good shape as well. Don’t want juice to gum up the works or affect the paint.

Last question (for now lol) what about the finish? I think I’d like a light blue metallic (starlight blue?) but haven’t seen a pic of that yet (and I’ve looked at all the pics, here and on their site) so I’m not sure how that color will look on the finished product – and fully coated or…?

I sure wish they available locally so I could ‘try them on’! Any input greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

atsirk I haven't tried the super mini but what I would do, and this is just my opinion....

The super mini is only 1/2 inch smaller than the mini....I would get the mini, but get the headcap regulated for 5v, that way you can use it at 3.7v as the mini, but if you ever decide you want to try 5v all you need is the longer tube....I have an extra ;)

Oooh you are made of winning - this choice is made! Mini, 5v regulated! Now I gotta go check the couch for coins...and pick a color...

You know, when I started smoking I actually could find enough for a pack of marlboros in the couch!

The Blue Purple Flip Flop with a Clear Coat Layer, with Black Coating on the Head and End Caps... Then get a Map Tank, or just drip and get a Purple or a Black Drip Tip ... Looks Amazing

Sounds very pretty - but a little dark for me - I am looking for a super-light blue, and will probably do polished caps :)

Once the income is steady again (interviews afoot, cross your fingers for me) I was thinking of something along this line -
