What minis are available from UK retailers?

[Sludge Van Diesel]

Preferably available in black & around the size of a tobacco cigarette or M401.

Looking for a replacement out & about e-cig for when Intellicig have run out of their black & silver variants (soon to be discontinued)

 

[pfaber11]

could try an elite.

I just got a 510-T, diameter of a cigarette but about an inch longer than a long cig.

Not black, but worth a punt as the sd keyring maxi is on offer at ecigwiazard -

SD Keyring Maxi Kit

Or -
Neatcigs 510 Premium Kit - Discontinued

Had 510s in the past (TW Titan) & didn't get on with them (they are also thicker than cigarettes / 401s). e-lites are also a no no, as AFAIK they only come as cigarette lookalikes (needs to be obvious at first glance that it's not tobacco).

The SD looks interesting though. Any experience of them?

Would also prefer separate atty & cart as opposed to cartos, although this is not necessarily essential.

Keep 'em coming. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

EDIT: Just spotted the SD is also 510 based, so that's off the table as well.

What don't you like about the 510's? Most E-cigs in the UK have 510 threads which means they are compatible with most atomisers/cartomisers/clearomisers etc

I've got the mini SD key ring & it really is tiny but still has better battery life than a ciggie lookalike. If you wanted to you could use atomisers & carts with it or even get an adaptor to use non 510 atomisers with it.

My main issue with the Titans apart from the bigger mouthpiece was lack of flavour compared to my 401s. The 510 seemed to burn hotter & seemed to lose something as a consequence. I'm very happy with cigarette size e-cigs & don't really want to change. Although I am considering an e-pipe for home use. Really want something small & descrete that doesn't look like a cigarette to non-smokers.

I've had a Joytech eRoll since Friday & I'm getting on very well with it. I think this may be the solution for my partner too (she hasn't really had a chance to try mine yet as she's gone to Wales for a few days with her mum), but I would like to find out what our other options are, just in case she doesn't get on with them.

Angela is also quite big on aesthetics, so I doubt anything that changes size part way along it's body will be considered.

Titan's are just rebranded mini 510's. Any battery that has a 510 thread is just that - i.e. it has a 510 thread & is compatible with so many different e-liquid delivery systems However, I do agree that the old 510 atomisers whern't as good as 901 atomisers, but these days there are so many better 510 compatible cartos/clearos etc available

I'm also "quite big on aesthetics" so just love the look of my early version GGTS -

 

[Sludge Van Diesel]

That is quite cool (in a Steampunk sort of way, I could live with that in certain situations), although not the sort of thing Angela would like.

Re the 510s, I'm glad the attys have improved as they couldn't have been much worse than my old Titans.

 

[Chrissie]

Sludge, the atties haven't changed, but there are so many better alternatives to atties that you can now use on a 510 threaded battery

I also wasn't keen on the old 510 atomiser - preferred the 901. But these days I mainly use Boge (510 threaded) cartomisers. Howerver, I've just tried an Evod & it's blooming brilliant

Hi,
Have a look at this :- Smokers Angel Halo Ecig Starter Kit Review | ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK
The batteries shown are white but on their website they list other colours including black. You're stuck with the brown or white cartos though.

[Sludge Van Diesel]

Not sure she'd be keen on brown carts on a black, silver or burgundy battery, but thanks.

 

[Sludge Van Diesel]

Looks like it's going to be an eRoll for Angela too, unless anyone else has any other suggestions.

 

[jSquared]

If you've been getting on well with the eRoll, I'd say it's a pretty solid choice. Some folks can't get them to work without constant leaking, but I'm going to go out on a limb say that 9 times out of 10 it's down to user error. Please bear in mind that 99% of statistics are made up on the spot, though!

Absolutely zero leaks here.

As TECC have them on discount at the moment, it looks like I'll be getting hers tomorrow.
