People will want to see a pic of it to be sure of what version it is... is it a 14500 bat model or 18490/18500?

People use a rm2,divo,hornet,era,cyclone,rm3 and a chalice 1-3.
14500 Mini, from 2011 I think she said. juice well is smaller than 14mm

Also does the possitive contact have a point or is the end curled?? The newer are gold contacts.
No idea on that.

Here is a pic with the Sophia in a SS Slim tank.

I think I've seen that reo before. It looks like a non l.p. reo in such case you could use a non l.p. rm2 and I think the cyclone with the standard cap should work too. There are others im I think but that's all I know of.
Yea it is not LP. I'll have to look at the non-lp rm2 & cyclone. thanks

Looks like a 14500 mini correct? Skinny battery?

Anyways I'd examine the contact pin for pits. No idea if the prior owner used noalox or deoxit gold on the contacts to keep them pit free.

I'm sure you could send it on for rob to replace the contacts for new gold contact and gold springs.. if for anything other then just a good solid arch free contact so if fires everytime and your batterys will last longer.

............or Rob or you could give it a "hair cut"
then any BF topper would work.........
this is the route I'd go, but just cuz I don't like the small attys. I've got an era that I need to list for sale at some point, don't know if the era's would fit the 14500 or not.

Yes the era would fit on there just fine.. no point getting a hair cut on the mini unless you want serious over hang on the mini to where ya might not be able to press the button.. only season I'd see for a 14500 mini is for a cyclone with afc top but that's even overhanging a little bit.

They run carto's, but I'm not a fan of them.

I have a Feb 2011 OG Mini as well. Run a Hornet atty on mine - only bf atty I found that will fit it. Got it from Indy Vape. I never tried my By Leo Slim tanks/Sopia's on it (I used them on a GP Piccolo and MicroStick back in the tube mod days).

(Haven't tried a Nuppin).
and no reason to if you're happy with the rm2. It was my absolute favorite, which gave me dismay due to the price of them, and the scarcity. Figgered I'd fall in love with an atty that I can't get more of and can't afford one the rare occasions one did become available. Until I met Mr. Derringer! Lives up to the name, packs a lotta wallop in a small package! lol Now I'm in love again

Best choice is a nuppin v2

I don't think a Nuppin fits...
Did a search, hard to get and from what I can see it is too big. The A7 Mini seems to be the correct size for the Reo Mini V1.0, anyone use one of those?

Some of the references above will not fit in the Non LP 2011 OG Mini the OP is asking about. FWIW...

Nuppin' ... LP Reos.

The OG Mini will not accept atty's larger than 13.2mm (a tight fit) unless someone had Rob or somebody else enlarged the drip well, or shaved the deck to LP. IE, my ERA will not fit in my OG Mini, nor will a Cyclone or an IGO-S because they are all much larger than 13.2mm. A Chalice will not fit them either. A standard RM2 (non LP) will fit the OG Mini but looks kind of strange. The Hornet, Mini A7, probably No Name has a bf something that will, and there may be other bf atty's that will.

There were only a few Mini 1.0's in this last run that were not LP. If the well on them is the same size as on the LP version though they too will only accept the same 13.2mm atty's that the OG Mini accepts. On the LP version atty's up to about 15.3mm will not overhang the deck.

The standard Mini 2.1 (non LP) will accept atty's up to 15.2mm.
