2. The Minis<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want an e-cig widely regarded as having better performance<\/strong> and providing a few<\/em> more puffs per battery charge<\/strong> than the super-minis and are the most popular<\/strong> among forum members (with the possible exception of the new Fat Batts) \u2013 and you are comfortable with it being somewhat <\/em>longer <\/strong>than an analog \u2013 consider one of Minis<\/strong>. The first two models discussed have unexposed wick atomizers; the atomizers for the last two are exposed.<\/p>\n

Batteries for most of the models were <\/em>primarily automatic switch. However, during the past year, manual <\/strong>switch batteries have been introduced for the first three models presented here (most recently for the M401). They\u2019ve only gained a firm foothold, however, with the 510 (it is now difficult to find an automatic 510 battery). The effectiveness and popularity of the manual 401 battery remains to be seen. The manual 901 (and the manual 801 to be discussed in our next installment) have had problems. Many dealers seem to be offering the manual 901 battery as a spare part, but not including it in the starting kit.<\/p>\n
