Looking for some pictures for size comparisons. Looking for something the size of a Provari. Or a little bigger. This will be my first device other then my current Twists. As far as my rebuilds I want to stay on the safe side of Ohms so I won't be going sub ohm I also looked at the Evic and it does look pretty large.

The innokin itaste SVD is a solid device. some pics and discussion over here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...apv-discussion/373145-innokin-itaste-svd.html I'm really liking mine from Fasttech

Start a list with all the lengths of them. Svd is one of the longest along with a vamo. Google all the names of devices together and look for pictures. I know what you mean side by side is what we want to see when looking at a purchase. I have a pic of a k200 by an ego650 with evod

K200 129mm tall, 25mm in diameter.

Is that a standard ego650 Twist?

sigelei zmax (v3 or v5) telescoping flat top. my first 9 months ago and still rocking- goes from mini to full in a flash. no need for extra tubes, just different batteries. solid and oozes quality. brushed stainless steel. never regretted buying it unlike a lot of vaping gear I have wasted money on since. sorry I am unable to upload pictures but easy enough to find on google.

I like it!!! this video gave me a nice look at the size.

I actually will be using it most of the time with the smaller battery when I'm out because its so compact. What capacity does that smaller battery in the video offer?Mah wise?

Also if I get that I assume I have to go crazy researching safe batteries? Does a vendor have a kit with everything needed?

The eVic isn't that large IMO, however I am learning to hate mine. The first few days were find since my only previous vape was on an eGo Twist. However, I am learning the limitations of eVic and already want more. About the only thing I see going for it is that the firmware can be updated. In the future, it has the possibility of being a better performer through a firmware update, however at the current time (version 1.4) it just doesn't cut in IMO. I am already looking for it's replacement.

the zmax has protection built into it, but it is still a good idea to get imr batteries..i got my 18350s from efestbattery.com. the 18500 and 18650 sizes I got elsewhere. Panasonic makes a great 18650 battery, the cgr18650ch . I got 4 of them off amazon for@ $20. the zmax can use button top or flattop batteries so you can get either wherever there is a sale. if you like stainless go to-ecigarettes-wholesale.com/Sigelei%20ZMAX%20V5‎
the whole kit is $57 for the v5 version (a steal).

I was wondering the same thing myself..I would like something small and rather foolproof...budget is a big factor for me as I have to loan my son $700 for car repairs.

VAMO V3...full setup..just need a tank and some e-juice
$53.94 Vamo V3 Variable Voltage E-Cigarette Mod Battery Compartment Set with OLED Screen - with Nitecore I2 US battery charger/charger cable/2*Sony 18650 batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free ShippingYou can select option so you can stack 2x 18350's

Here is my review and a comparison...may say its an "introductory level" APV..mine works like a champ!

for $4 more the zmax is a better unit- no tubes to add or take off (and misplace or lose). also feels much more solid and is just made better....
