I got the calipers out and also went to see what Amazon has listed.

My measurements are the same as on Amazon.

4.3 x 3.1 x 0.8 inches

Its not light weight but its also not too heavy. I would not put it in my pants pocket cause I think its too heavy for that. But it is great to have on trips and in the vehicle. It also allows that when I have to go out and my phone is charging to be able to take it with me without interrupting the charging. That way I never have to worry about IF my phone is charged at all.

Hope this helps.

:)
My phone, old iPhone 4s, and ipad mini are important to me. I have NEVER plugged any of them into a wall. I always charged them from a battery pack to avoid power surges. Much rather fry a $20 battery pack than a $440 128 GB ipad, $110 android phone, or the 64 GB iPhone 4S Thats served me well as a phone for over two years, and now holds my kindle library and MMA videos.

I really need to replace the battery in the 4S

I like vapor.....that's always been a biggie for me. Not cloud type stuff, but at least as much as a smoke produces. These def fit that role.

:)
Having a visible exhale is part of what makes vaping easily replace smoking for me. I don't want to cloud up my living room but it has to be at least equal to a smoke. Unless I'm in stealth mode ;)

Tried a few more with it wide open then, and got even bigger clouds, but..alittle "buzzed" lightheadedness, too. Not sure I like that though. :)

That is what happened to me when I first tried DL and why I went to 3mg. I do chain vape and am trying to go higher in mg so I can cut down on being a chimney. I now have several different mg's in some of my tanks to see if that works.
:)

I am loving the Nanner berry but can't hit it very often. May need to lower the nic in that one, I like it so much. :)

I am currently raising my nic as I noticed I was vaping a lot more. Going to keep bumping it up until I get headaches. Then go get some more nic.
I started with 12mg and kept that for most of the time I have been vaping. When, last year, I decided to branch out a little and try some of the newer type of tanks, 12mg just about blew the back of my head off. So I started reducing it. Go to 3mg but chain vaping is starting to interfere with some of my activities and since I had gotten away from the panic mode(when smoking, I would panic when I got down to 1/2 a pack) I sure am not going back there with vaping. Don't think I want to experience the headache tho.....maybe just a little of the 'buzz' that @JCinFLA was talking about. :)

That should work, I'd think!

Me trying DL with the eGo1 was just for ____ & grins really. I never vape DL, nor MTL for that matter. It's always just bring in the vapor to part way down my throat, then back out my nose and/or mouth a few seconds later. So...I'm still OK with my 7mg eliquids, even though I've usually always got my mod in my hand or right next to me. :thumbs:

I wondered when you said go ahead at 7mg. :unsure: Do you have VG & PG handy to dilute it some?

I told the group a few minutes ago about the Poweradd Pilot 20,000 mah battery pack.

Its rated for 20,000 mah but have charged my Android phone five times so far off one full charge and still has some power in it.

My android holds 4,400 mah. 5 charges is about 22,000 mah. First time i saw a battery pack deliver more power than the rated capacity. Last week i tried two Tohlo battery packs rated for 20,000 mah. One had 17,500 mah with one charge port dead. The other had less than 9,000 mah on full charge.

The Poweradd Pilot 20,000 mah pack

6X3.25X.75 inches
Weighs 15.2 ozs

I have had more batyery packs than you can imagine.

Kmashi 6 10,000 1 20,000, 3 15,000, and 1 11,200

Anker 5,200

Nationite 13,400

Roop 12,000

Poweradd 20,000

Tohlo 20,000

And more

Many of them i bought. But almost as many were sent to me for evaluation and review. The samples i passed along to friends since i didn't need and couldn't sell my samples.

Out of all the battery packs i have gone through ONLY THREE brands have impressed me.

Kmashi 10,000 mah. Full power and charges in 5 hours with 2 amp charger. 1 amp prepate for almost 12 hours.

Nationite 13,400 actually held almost 14,000 mah. This company was bought out by Anker if memory serves.

Poweradd rated for 20,000. Already pulled 22,000 mah and a little left.

Anker. Never cared for them. They are over priced and under powered.

I am waiting for an eval product thay reads car cumputer chips and error codes

Im nothing special. Just reviewed more than 600 products on Amazon, and rated in the top 3000 reviewers. At one point about 10 years ago i was #84 of the top reviewers

Oh yeah. In fact, I made up a bottle of your recipe minus the nic so I can do that.
Thanks.

That looks nice. Does weight a little more than the 1 I have, but not much. The 1 I have is going on its 3rd year and so far so good.

:)

3 year life of a battery pack is great.

I freaking love my little Poweradd.

It weighs 4-5 ozs more than my kmashi 10,000 but has a little more than twice the power. Kmashi weighs 9+ ozs if memory serves.

Hi folks! This post is NOT from Bea…it's from her DH!I have a story to tell you that only vapers can appreciate!

Bea had a doctor appt today and then we were going out to lunch and errands. She lost track of time…so we had to rush out of the door…so she grabbed her istick because she had forgotten to refill the tank in her 24/7 provari, and her icare that she always takes as a backup when we go out.

As we were walking in at the doctor's the istick started flashing "low power" and she realized the icare was low on juice. Neither would have lasted for several hours. She asked me to charge the istick in the car while she saw the doctor. I reminded her that we drove her car where we don't keep a spare charging cable because there is no plug.

I am former smoker but do not vape and I was very happy that Bea was able to quit smoking when she discovered vaping. Vaping keeps her calm EXCEPT when she realizes that her vaping equipment is either not working or not with her! Then it's PANIC CITY!!! She then reminds me of Mooch in Mutts with his wild-eye look!

So she asked me if I would drive back home (only a 15 min. drive each way) to get the charging cable. I reminded her her car doesn't have a connector. So, being the nice guy that I am, I offered to go home, get the charging cable and charge the istick while she saw the doctor.

With that calm descended upon us!!!

I actually have two of the external battery packs that @Two_Bears mentioned in your post. I just had a senior moment when you suggested getting one earlier. Sigh!!!

But now I'm thinking about getting the one below to carry in my purse for the "just in case" times! Small but would do the job.

I LOVE the Eggrolls. I don't have any V2 (yet). I have one of the Mini tanks - perfect for my Spinners - a couple of the XLs and one Mega (that came with my VTC Mini from the ECF contest a while back :w00t: ) I prefer the CLR coils - I use higher VG juice across the board, so building my own allows for better wicking. They are GREAT for me when I want a Prug 'n' Pray device for quick trips or I'm in a hurry to get an RTA around. They perform kwite well....

Hi Folks! Been having a rough couple of days here and to top it off i have torn something in my leg and am on crutches, it hurt like hell. Was happy though because even though i thought about it and had access to tobacco, i never had a cig. So that i a plus i guess. Hope you are all well.
