Party life and vaping, trying to avoid bumming cigarettes!

[catalystRKS]

Hey ECF, I've got a little conundrum

I just received my VV Gripper and Vivi Nova, and I love it! One problem, its not going to fit in the pockets of clothes I normally wear to the bar/club :/ (yes, I'm one of those skinny jean/chinos wearing kind of Asians, so sue me. lol)

So, to make a long story short: I'm headed to the Univ. of Florida (Go Gators) for a big party weekend and I KNOW I can't always have my Gripper on me. but there's a twist!

I don't have that much money to spend before next friday! (Considering club cover fee, alcohol for pregaming, the fact I have to pay for my girlfriend and my own drinks, drunk food, etc etc lol) Bear in mind, I'm a college student with about $160 to my name, gas money allotted for my trip, and my next paycheck doesn't get to me until after the weekend (charging my credit card isn't an option, linked to my Dad's account and will wonder what these "vapor" sites are, and he thinks I can quit cold turkey, or he'll just refuse to let me leave my room [college student living at home]) Also, I have to spend some money before the weekend even gets here because of the cost of driving to school this week, food etc.

I've narrowed down my choices but i need some opinions.

SLB Ego VV passthrough Estimated cost: $60-70 w/shipping, juice, cartos

Pros:
Proves to be a solid backup vape when i have to charge my 18650 batteries
It's a passthrough

Cons:
I have to spend some more money on a compact tank solution (id rather use a tank over dripping, but you can win me over otherwise)

VS

Mini ego kit Estimated cost: < $50 w/shipping and juice

Pros:
I KNOW this will fit in my pockets
All in one solution, don't really need to piece together parts

Cons:
Not VV (being nitpicky)
I would rather have the VV Ego

So... help a brotha out! I REALLY don't want to have to bum a cigarette, and I would rather use the $10 that I would use on a disposable to go to something I could keep long term. Sorry for the drawn out post, but I appreciate it in advance!

-----------
EDIT:

I really appreciate all the help! i decided on the SLB eGo VV passthrough, since its something that I really want and would rather have in the long run, + a mini vivi nova. Worst comes to worst, I'll unscrew the two and keep it in my pocket.

As for WHY I'm wearing skinny jeans, etc, lol, the clubs my girlfriend drags me to for event weekends usually enforce a strict dress code- taking me away from my usual shorts/cargos that have bigger pockets.

Thanks again!

Speedy responses are appreciated, as I'm trying to get my orders in before close of business tomorrow so I can get my new gear ASAP!

How about an inexpensive bottom feeder or a little box mod? Some of the mini bottom feeders are about 3" by 1 1/2" and hold about 3 ml of liquid. They're pretty small unless you don't like the form factor.

An ego-c fits in my skinnyjean pockets fine get a variable voltage ego LCD battery, 900mah is just the right size, and whack a 1.5 ohm dual coil to it you'll get a good amount of Vape in a concise package that doesn't run out of charge every 100 puffs

you could get just a ego battery passthrough and a single atty and drip tip
ego e-Smokey Treats, the most trusted name in electronic cigarettes and accessories
306 atty which I have used for a year
e-Smokey Treats, the most trusted name in electronic cigarettes and accessories
or a 510
e-Smokey Treats, the most trusted name in electronic cigarettes and accessories
306 drip tip
e-Smokey Treats, the most trusted name in electronic cigarettes and accessories
510 tips
e-Smokey Treats, the most trusted name in electronic cigarettes and accessories

any way you do that its about 30 bucks

Forget about kits. You're not a noob anymore.

I recommend a 650 Ego Twist and a Vivi Nova Mini.

If you get an ego. Get a lanyard. Just a few dollars. I party a lot and its a lifesaver. I never lose it. Even while very... tipsy

I use a twist. 20 dollars. Mini vivi nova. 10 dollars. Adapter (hides threads and keeps my lanyard secure) 2 dollars and lanyard 4 dollars.

Definitely! Although I have a habit of leaving liquids and atties in clubs sometimes... but a lanyard somehow just makes it feel more special to you
I used to have my howitzer set up with a vision tank, can't remember which one, but the setup looked like a cannon round! Loved wearing that around

i just got one of the ego minis... it is so cute!
on sale for $8.08 here: http://www.smokerevolt.com/Red-Mini-eGo-350mAh-_p_257.html?lt_c=1&quickcart=1

probably won't last more than a few hours, but for the price you could afford to get 2...! then i would say just get a mini Vivi Nova tank and you're set.
if you already like your box mod i would just try to get a small "pocket friendly" setup..

 

[catalystRKS]

Thanks for all the fast responses, definitely keep them coming! I like the options I have now!

Only reason im hellbent on passthrough/vv is because I want a solid backup to my gripper.

But I'm really liking everything you guys throw my way!

EGo twist for ~26 bucks and you van even use the vivi nova tank you have or get a Vision clearomizer for $5 I ordered mine today from AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | Your one stop shop!
Good party setup and decent backup. Do not forget the lanyard that looks like a good idea

General question: How do the regular sized ego's fit in your pockets? (saying i skip on the $6 lanyard... lol)

 

[snaphappyalex]

Put an 18650 in your pocket, imagine that but a little longer.

 

[snaphappyalex]

My ego+Atty is about twice the length of an 18650 and a little thinner

 

[Biziou]

General question: How do the regular sized ego's fit in your pockets? (saying i skip on the $6 lanyard... lol)

Very easily for me. It's only about a quarter of an inch wider than a sharpie marker. With a mini nova on top, it's about 1 1/2 inches longer than a sharpie. (650 mah twist)

edit: If you were to pick up a shorty drip tip to switch out on the mini nova, you could cut down on that length.

a eGo fits just right if your shirt has a pen pocket. If my shirt does not have a pen pocket I take a safety pin and from the back make a pocket to fit.

 

[catalystRKS]

I think I've got my choices made, after some serious thought, im going with the SLB VV ego from my original post + mini Vivi Nova (didn't even know they had that... haha)

Worst comes to worst, I'll just unscrew the two and put it in my shirt/pants back pocket. Almost forgot to even make that observation!

I'll probably pickup an ego-c whenever I have some extra cash to throw around, looks like a good stealth vape.
Plus, gotvapes doesn't have the vision-c egos in stock :/ (Forgot to mention I don't want to order from sites like altsmoke, since "smoke" is in the company name, and the company name is on the package, and I can't always beat my parents to the mail... hahaha)

Thank you all so much for the input!

Don't forget to include the charger for whatever battery you decide on. The smaller the battery the less time between charges, so if you're getting a mini or a 650 mah you may want to take back ups with you, otherwise your battery is going to run out way before the evening is over.

Good luck and have a great time at your party!

Thanks! haha, i realized i could use my gripper the whole way there, and just use my eGo in the bar!

You could also fill a few cartos and attach them when needed.
