Small Battery recommendations?

[Fred Rogers]

Well I had my first scare with my ego twist 1100 this week end. I was out and about when I go to put a carto on my ego and dropped it from eye level right to the ground. It landed on the bottom corner. It deformed the tube and now the button "falls in" and is hard to push.

I am still able to vap it, but it got me thinking. I left the house with only my ego. Had the drop been anything more it would have killed it.

So I would like to find a small 510 compatible backup. This would be very nice as I could share most of my accessories with my ego. I generally use a vivi mini nova, 306 atomizer and 510 catromizers.

Thanks for your input!

A 650 twist

A 650 twist

I do have a 650 twist for a bakup, but I was hopping there was something even smaller. It makes for a bit of bulk to have a 1100, 650, a tank or two, backup juice and a cartomizer. It is ok if it is not VV as I tend to run LR on most my setups.

Is anyone selling "cigarette" look alike 510 any more? Most I have ran in to are using 808 threading.

You can still buy 510-T's but they don't last long between charges. I wouldn't buy anything smaller than 650mAh these days. Sorry to hear about your damaged unit, bummer.

How about one of those little "mini" egos? I've seen them in 350 and 450mah - I have a 350 and it's very cute and tiny - plus all your stuff will fit on it.

It's not "cigarette/style" but it's very small: eGo Mini 350mAh Battery - Stainless
Hope it helps

Always got an ego mini on my keychain

@haiqu - For a primary or even secondary battery I agree. I am looking for a third option. Something small that I could cary and have a few hours of backup.

I like the look of the eGo minis. Can I use my eGo charger from my 650 etc for it?

Thanks!

here are a few, note that not all are joye. I have used other brands and had no troubles.

Smoktech 510 180 mah Kit - Black 2/1

this one is a 280 mah, the batteries are a little longer than a standard 510, but will last longer before needing recharging:
SmokTech 510 280 mah Kit - Black 2/1

Joyetech 510 Kit "little box of vapors"

JOYE 510/510-T E Cigarette


I'm not affiliated with these vendors, just had them bookmarked.... hope it helps

I don't know how long it'll last you, but I've had my eye on these:

ElectronicStix.Com : THE SD KEY RING E-CIG BY TROG (510 threaded) - SDKEYRING

Teeny, tiny, fits on a keychain. I'll eventually pick one or two up for the "cute" and convenience factors.

BTW ... please be careful using a damaged battery... I had a near-accident with an eGo battery. I tripped on it while it was charging and sent it flying. It looked fine so I used it. Then the button started melting. I stopped using it at that point and freaked out a bit.

Check the SD keyring.

P.S. Loved the show when I was a kid.

Thanks for the info.

I never thought about my battery being dangerous.

I will check out all the great links!

Well I bought my backup.

And I decided to go the other way. I got a new 1000 mah eGo Twist.

After thinking about everyones comments I deiced I did want a full size backup.

Some time I will get a cool stealth vap, but for now I am happy with a full size.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Supposedly you are not suppose to use LR stuff on batteries smaller than 650mAh!

I personally wouldnt recommend a smaller e cig just because of the battery life, but since you have a twist, just get a lanyard and never worry about dropping it again
