Those of you that started with and them moved away from cig-a-likes, don't get rid of them.

I started on cig-a-likes like many of you. I moved to other things and kept moving till I found something that would meet 98% of my wants. I got rid of my cig-a-likes, twists, and the other stuff after finding my stopping point. I learned that while the large device I ended up with was great I found times when my old smallest device was a better option.

A cig-a-like might not ever be your favorite solution I am finding out it is nice to have one loaded up and sitting around when something small and handy is a virtue. I remember going from standard sized batteries to the longest I could find for more battery life. I am finding now that I have large devices with large tanks on them that the cig-a-like with the shorter battery makes more sense as the complement to the big device.

If I had to do it all over again I would have got my big device first and would have gotten a different cig-a-like but I would still get one, I would just have been smarter in my selection.

Don't get rid of your cig-a-likes like I did, they might come in handy once in awhile.

I have five Volts. I did things backwards, I started with a 1000 mah Joyetech passthrough, moved onto the Twist, then the Kgo-VV, and then the Lavatube... but found out I still wanted to hold and vape something that looked and felt like a real cigarette. Hence, my Volt collection, complete with PCC. I also got this little bad boy right here... That's the ONE thing I miss about smoking... my Zippos...

I am a genesis user. Nothing can beat a genny if you ask me... (In fact don't ask me I know there is some pretty cool RBA's out there other than gennys). But, I always carry 2 ego 650mah and a filled up evod at all times. Very, very handy!

I am running Provari's and 650's, sometimes smaller yet is handy.

You could also get a mini box mod that would be about as inconspicuous as a cigalike. I go that route cause 3.2v just doesn't do it for me.

It is not about being inconspicuous in this case. It is about being easy to grab and use on the go. I am actually wanting to downsize to a 306a. That will be smaller than the smallest mini box mod.

306a? Is that like a Joyetech 306? Is it smaller than a sneaky Pete? My box mod is only about 2.5" tall.

I keep mine around for those stressful situations..I just wish they could come up with the technology to provide a regulated voltage say like it would fire at a certain voltage until dying.

When I started vaping I used a cig a like for a month and nobody at break even noticed! Not until I started with egos did they realize I haven't been smoking.

TeCab? Looking that up right now. Never heard of a TeCab.

I hadn't either until a Dutchman posted it yesterday. It's made by AnyVape: Anyvape TeCab

It's pricey though. I've been scouring China, but unless you buy in bulk this is the best price I could find. I want one!

It is narrower and shorter than a 510 using a cartomizer. The 306 is longer than a 306a. The 306a only has a 90mAh battery.

I originally tried to make things less complicated by having only Provarii and a hands free device. I move to wanting three diameters now. Wide would be the Provari, 14mm would be the medium size, then the tiny would be the cigalike. A 306a would be a kind of like a Blu without being reverse polarity. I am going to see if any of them were every made unregulated. 306a is classified as a super mini.
