So since Annette is super awesome and sent me a Vision Mini (i think thats what it is) to review I have obliged and am writing this review.

The Vision Mini is the little cousin to other Vision cartos currently available for sale on VirginVapor. The difference is essentially the diameter of the tube. Where the Visions are approximately the same diameter (width) as an eGo or KGo battery, the Vision Mini is the same width as a 510 or 808 (though they come with the 510 connection). Honestly I have found that I like these even better than the larger Visions. If using an eGo style battery, they fit inside the stock eGo cone. I've also been noticing that when I place the tip onto the Visions, I get a fair amount of leakage. I can only assume that this is because the air inside the tube, when compressed, pushes the eliquid up the wick and out the bottom of the carto, this is kind of annoying b/c I can never get a truly full carto out of them. However, the Minis do not have this problem at all.

The flavor and vapor production out of these is fantastic. I've been using it now for almost 2 weeks straight at around 1-2 fills a day with Snakebite, and it still does not need to be cleaned. Vapor production is as good as it was out of the package, flavor is amazing.

The only mildly annoying thing about the Minis is that with how much smaller the tip is compared to the larger Visions, it tends to fill up with eliquid remains after about a day of vaping. Now the simple solution is to pull the tip off and blow it into a napkin. Problem solved.

Overall this is going to become my go-to atomizer even if Annette decides not to carry. They are phenomenal and the smaller version of the Mini (the Nano on other websites) would be great for having multiple flavors available per day.

LouP you are in for a treat with the snakebite. The pup is doing well. She was really skittish today when we got home but that was likely because we had a maintenance guy in the apartment today. She's afraid of new people and he was probably making a lot of noise. Right now she's sleeping on the couch next to me.: )

Annette that makes me so happy that you will be carrying these. I honestly think this is the best cartomizer I've used to date.

Aaww, no place she'd rather be I'd guess....
It must have been really hard for her, being in her crate while a stranger was in her home! Poor thing.
I hope you managed to wean her off the CD cases! You should post a pic of her...help balance out all the crazy cats (or at least the crazy cat people).:)

Thanks again for the heads up! I'm really looking forward to the Snakebite!

I don't know if the Mini is considered a Dual, but it appears to have the same power draw as the other Vision cartos that Annette sells. I've only used them long wick, and personally I like that. I'm unsure of how much difference it would make having them as short wick. They perform amazingly with the Absolute Virgin line. I haven't had to clean it yet and it's run through half an ounce of Snakebite and most of a quarter ounce of Hunger of Persephone. Based on the webpage of another vendor that carries these, the larger of the two mini styles (dubbed the micro over there) holds 1.3ml. This is the one that I've been testing and it lasts me most of a day of normal vaping. The nano (smaller) holds .9 ml. Neither of these hold as much as the current visions available at VV but with the smaller form factor you wouldn't expect them to. However they're smaller, fit inside the standard ego cone, so you can carry a few of them around with different flavors more easily than their larger siblings.

The mini uses the same heads as the regular size so..no problem at all with Annette's 100% vg! Personally I find the long wicks to be better but really not that much of a difference to me so far.

OK. It finally dawned on me that I read this as the mini VIVI NOVA for some reason. :oops:
So, everything that I have posted...PLEASE DISREGARD!
I have absolutely no experience with these. My bad.:facepalm:
