This was the same thing my father wanted(I've been trying to help him quite smokeing). The closest i could get to that equivlent for him was a mini viv nova(with an 808 connection) on an 808 stick battery.

But i also found this...
V-MAG Electronic Cigarette at Vape Monkey
I have not tried it but it looks very promissing. The only thing is that i don't think it is rebuildable and the coils are proprietary. You have to get the coils from them. But it might be right up your ally. :toast:

When you say pen, are you talking thinner than an eGo-C (15mm) or smaller than a Provari (22mm) ?

In eGo size there's the EVODs (now in glass), and you can get batteries down to 450mAh, so the whole thing fits in the palm of your hand.

Below that size, there's the Vision Nano which isn't bad, but it's disposable. I'd be tempted to say go with cartomisers.

There is also this...
KR808D-1 2 piece e-Cigarette
I saw good reviews on those Kanger clearomizers but never tried them either. You will need at least two batteries, a charger, and that pack of clearomizers. That would run you a little over $50. I have ordered from that place before and they are fast and reliable. Good luck with your decision. And vape on!

I don't have a problem with e-Go sized batteries and tanks, but I wanted something smaller, too.
My first attempt was with a Blu kit, and I really liked the PCC concept and the form-factor of their ecig. Unfortunately, their cartridges sucked, and their automatic batteries are problematic in practice (firing at weird times and running themselves out).

When I took my second attempt at quitting smoking, I started with eGo-sized devices and quality juices and have had much better success. Knowing a little more about what is out there, this go-round, I decided to try to find a better cigarette-sized kit for times when I'd prefer something smaller.

I started by getting some Boge blank cartomizers and filling them with the e-juice I liked in my bigger tanks. Just taking a cartridge with some decent juice and screwing it on to one of my old Blu batteries was a huge improvement over Blu's standard offering. So, I started looking for a new battery kit.

I knew I wanted 510-style, so I could use the cartomizers on my existing batteries. I wanted standard 510 polarity (vs. Blu's reverse) so I didn't have to worry about incompatible chargers. And, I wanted a manual button for operation. I ended up order a kit from Volcano, al-a-carte by picking individual pieces from their catalog. I got a PCC, a handful of batteries, and a charger kit. Running the refillable cartomizers, it's actually been a capable stand-in for the bigger tanks and batteries.

Then, by accident, I think I found the perfect 510 battery at a local shop. It is made by a company called Buck Naked. Their website claims to be the "world's top selling ecig company", though it seems no one has heard of them, so I'm not sure how valid that claim is. Their product line is kinda mediocre, and overpriced. Everything they offer, I've found for half price or less from another company. But their 510 battery is unique, as far as I can tell. They claim it is 180 mAh, and is a little longer than comparable 180 manual batteries, but it has a 3-click on/off lock feature. I really dig that, when I want to go minimalist, I can screw filled cartomizers onto a couple of them, 3-click lock them, and throw them in my pocket with my keys/wallet/whatever, and they're ready to go whenever I fish them out of my pocket. The batteries are $17 each, which is high for a 510, but they really are nice. They have a soft-rubber finish, the mirrored end has a hidden LED color-matched to the body of the battery, and the on/off lock feature is great.

You might look into the joyetech Ecab or joyetech eRoll. The Ecab is a pen style. photo of size in hand:

uses the same Type A atties that the Joyetech eRoll does, except it has changeable rechargable batteries.


A lot of these systems have fallen out of style because so many people like the big stuff, I actually had a vendor TRY to talk me out of buying more little pen style stuff LOL They just don't realize that there ARE vapers who love this smaller vaping gear---no, it's not for everyone, but some people just like it.

I just got to point where even a vision spinner was too "big" for me LOL

Here;s a video of the joyetech eRoll. has a portable charging case, but is way smaller than a pen style ...more like a cig-a-like:

I like that pretty Pink!

Awesome set Racehorse. I looked at an ecab and having 2 batteries is a plus!

That or an eRoll might be a better option for you OP. Love mine use them everyday. You can buy extra tanks to fill and have on hand. Make sure to get an extra sleeve to have 2 cigalikes if you go with an eRoll.

This is what you seek:

Innokin iTaste VV (V3) Express kit - 101 Vape

At $26 it's a steal.

That's a great suggestion, assuming you completely ignored the OP.

They want an ecig smaller than a pen.
You may be able to find a pen bigger than Itaste VV, but it will be a ridiculously large pen.

I've use a VV as my main device, but there are plenty of situations where it is larger than what I want to carry.

get an aerotank mini. rewick with organic cotton and get your coil & airflow just right. search youtube for guides.

pair that atomizer with an itaste vv v3.0

huge upgrade. still the same form factor.

I'm sure the OP is more than capable of sorting through the different suggestions. The itaste vv stands out in terms of quality and performance amongst the fashionable junk that often gets peddled at this form factor. It's a solid choice as long as the OP is willing to compromise a bit.

If you like automatic batteries, Ikenvape (a forum supplier) sells 350mah ego automatics. Paired with a low res carto its a pretty good vape and is shorter than a 100mm cigarette. Lasts for about 1.5 mls.

A nice little manual battery is a Smoke 450mah ego. Still shorter than a 100 cig with a carto. It lasts about 2 mls.

With an evod size tank, both are still pretty small.

A little fatter than a cigalike, but still small and light.

I vape like crazy, but I prefer penstyle ecigs. Got any suggestions to help me with my dilemma? An ecig larger than a pen completely takes away from my vaping experience. Any suggestions are welcomed! :)

Whats the problem? Length, thickness, weight? Do you have any experience with mechanical and rba? If you need performance, you are gonna have to get at least ego twist/vision spinner and latest protank with 1.8ohm coil or better something like that:

All 3 easily fit in my pocket! Kayfun setup is only 153mm! :vapor:
