Not exactly fitting in your pocket, but next to it.
Sorry but what is this a picture of--a hip, a jacket, a crotch, or what?

Apologies for not providing much description: It is a pocket, right side. Hung from a belt loop is a WharBiner from Ti2 Design with "The Truckie" from Recycled Firefighter attached. The WharBiner also has a lanyard for the pocketed SM100 Bully folding knife from EB Custom Knives pocket clip you see in raw titanium below the Timascus bead (blue/purple) also tethered in with the knife.

Just got my super hot Milaana back from my friend and holy shit it's great to have her back. Can't believe how strong this heater is tuned ... after about a 1 second preheat and 3 seconds of inhaling I can pull nearly as hard as I can and it's still pumping out vapor ... this thing cannot be out powered. Also I love that it's smaller than the newest models.

I am using the LG HG2s. I was using the HE4s, and I still have a pair of them that are in my Zion rotation, but I am finding I like the HG2s better.

It would be hard to do so ... vapor production gets extremely difficult around 3.65 and people have drained these lower than that.

Below 3.4V it will really struggle and it's not even worth trying. At 3.6-3.65V you can go for a half-shitty session but the voltage will drop pretty fast and rest at 3.2-3.4V.
At this point unless you double or triple your usual trigger time you will not be getting much vapor. So if you feel that you must hold the trigger for too long, it's a sign you should swap.
Note that even at 3V the cell is fine, they can go down to 2.5V. The problem is that we don't know how much they sag at this low voltage when the trigger is on, and the end of the discharge curve falls sharply. Could compute it maybe or measure it at some point but not tonight!
Let's say it's not that bad and if it happens a few times it won't have any incidence at all. But don't run them past 3.2V every day.
PS: I've run some down to 2.4V at times and I swear the bloody thing was still producing some vapor!

I just moved out here so I have a lot of ground to cover
Decided to make a shitty phone vid of me using DDave's 14mm gear... All I can say is wow!!!!! I want to try it with an M to M adapter, but damn its nice like this... You really cant feel anything going down your neck but cool air, and then out comes a massive cloud. Two of them from like basically no weed, well I stuffed that tiny top hat pretty good but theres still fuck all in there. I think if I stir I could have maybe got another hit but why bother I was cooked, and there is not really enough bud in there to even care. Sorry for rambling, and sorry for the shitty video but it bares fruit!! Even though I manage to not get anything meaning full in frame for most of the first hit except the cloud, you can hear the button pressing, and the second hit is much better...
Anyway here it is enjoy

Need help...i tried putting a battery in my milaana...and about a 1/4 inch did not want to go in....i noticed a small wooden burr right above the battery contact...so i used the wooden stir tool to try and lance the burr...from what i can tell the splinter is no longer in the way...so i push my battery all the way in and....i appears to be stuck....well long story short i got it out...butdoes this happen often or is the first time putting a battery in go this way...really freaked out and afraid to even try to put another battery in....
Sorry you are having a minor issue. If you have an Exacto knife, that might help you be able to dig any wood out of that body. This is an issue with the Walnut wood and could be something that was missed during the build as that area is fairly dark with dark wood. Get a flashlight and try to be gentle on any parts that lie at the base of the Milaana where the battery makes contact.
It could just as easily just be a wood chip/shaving that was under the battery terminal. Probably make sure this wood is out before reinserting the battery. You should never need force.
From the dozens of units I've built, I had to be extra careful in observing this area of the Walnut, which is a very early step in the bulid. One reason the Walnut are more expensive is the wood was a lot harder to work with in this area and throughout the unit extra care had to be given cleaning out any straggling wood.
Let us know how it goes and what you see/find.

I have/had three Milaana units. Two Maples have no issues with battery fit. My spalted is tight. However it also depends on the battery I use. If I use the brown LG's on my spalted then no problem. If I use MXJO's on the spalted it fits but it's really tight.
Moral of the story is your battery tolerance also may have something to do with this.

Your experience nearly mimics mine ... awesome post man. Love that other people enjoy that as much as me ... and yes the vapor is COLD air. It's so weird feeling that.Decided to make a shitty phone vid of me using DDave's 14mm gear... All I can say is wow!!!!! I want to try it with an M to M adapter, but damn its nice like this...

I got a 14mm m2m from my local headshop for like $10. The cooling isn't quite as drastic but is worth the convenience imo.
Also ... you're part of the hairband club!!!
This was my OG Milaana ... god I loved her. She's with a friend now ... but damn when I first got her there was an aura of joy around me for months. The honeymoon phase I had with this one was the best yet of any vape. Actually idk ... only having an mflb for years then trying my friends Nano ... and then actually getting one for myself and testing everything instead of having it all done for me was a pretty intense moment. Either way ... being pre ordered for months and hearing reviews and then finally getting my Mi was amazing.

The positive end goes down into the unit... place it nicely and do not drop it in, or it could reek havok with the bottom spring.
The negative end is up, and you tighten the copper plate down on that negative end.
Clean the contacts if dirty or oxidized.
