I've been using various Ego and Riva batteries for a long time. Anywhere from 650 tow 900 mah.


I would like to switch to something that looks more like a cigarette. I'm tired of the visual differences and the comments I get. I just want to vape and have people think i'm smoking a real cig!

any suggestions :D

I just need something with a decent battery life and I can use a CE2 clearomizer or carto on :D

Thats the sacrafice of smaller batteries. Smaler battery life. I have heard good things about volt, and if you bring three or so batteries with you, you wouldnt run the risk of not having anything to vape. There is also a stealth mod box that runs on smaller batteries called 10440, and is in a 1x AAA battery box. It wouldnt stand out much at al.

If you want something that actually looks like a cigarette and is supposed to work better than those cheapo smoke shop jobs, try the Smoov white/orange model. It's basically the same as the Volt but in different colours including the cigarette-looking one. Automatic batts, KR8 connection, look of a cig, apparently works better than a stock 510. Extra cartos here, PCC here.

If my experience with other cig-look-alikes and the Volt is considered I wouldn't be really quick to say something that has not been proven to be a Volt/Bloog (and even that comparison is fraught, to some) type model vapes anything near like they do.

Volt/Bloog and perhaps maybe now the Halo G6 seems to be using the same batt/carto combination are in a class by themselves when it comes to a mini, and perhaps the V4L 808, but many say it's a touch below.

I know a few people are sticking IKV 808 clearos on the Volt batteries--not sure if I've heard any word on how they're working.

Keep your Egos and Rivas you'll go back to them for the battery life or at least use them most of the time when you aren't trying to impress and get over the has to look like a cig thing.

IMO the Volt kit is the way to go in the slim batts. As said it's basically the same as the new Halo and Bloog but a bit cheaper and I like the way you can customize the kit when ordering. I've been really impressed with the auto batteries from them as well. No misfires with sound or vibrations at all, I've tried and they activate easily when you start to draw. The manuals are the way to go though because they are sealed if you don't have to have the autos. Battery life is very good for that size but won't compare to the fat batts.

You can use your current 510 equip with it with an adapter providing it's not cone specific or LR but if you're going that route be sure to get the manual batteries. The cartos that come with the kit work great and if you're trying to make it look like a cig you'll probably want to stick with those.

510 carto, 510 standard batt--all in white. RN4075. Vapor won't be very hot though. Keep a bigger battery around once in a while. And uhh, maybe a cigar :)

okay... well I went to liberty-flights.

picked up a steel (I wanted white, but they were out!) joye 510 auto battery. I heard some bad things about them, but I'll try it out for myself.

I bought a few g4 cartos and boge 2.5 ohm cartos.

And then I bought some Perfumer's apprentice flavoring:
granny smith
Tobacco
Caramel

and finally a 30ml of PG unflavored 24mg nic juice.

Hopefully all of that and my 2 generic joye 510 batteries hold me over for a few months :D

I have a strange theory that the carto's won't leak onto the auto battery?

all of this was for 45 bucks.
i would have dished out 65 bucks for the kits you guys mentioned, but it was just too much and I spent less on what I need atm.
