Ok so I sent a forum member a money order for a mod he said he made and would send me and now I get no responce e-mail or PM wise ( Really cool of people to steal from the handicapped ) , Now that im done venting about getting ripped off I'm back to looking for a battery mod that will last me a 12 hour shift at work. I use 3 charges of 510 batterys a day for work. How would the VP-1 hold up for me battery wise? How durable is the device? Any and all advice ( Good And Bad ) would be great.

Also I have been looking at the Protege.
But I really would like to have something with an LED.

You should get at least a vp2, same battery as protege. One battery last me all day. Sorry to hear about getting your money taken.

Also one more to look at. Supertmanufacturing has a new one comming out. Take a look at his section.

name and shame I'd say

But if your looking for 12 hours..certainly stay away from anything that uses a 10440 battery.

14500 ( protege , vp-2, dse-905 ) or 16340 or 18650 ( ST-2, silver bullet, prodigy ) will see you through.

Just to clarify the VP-1 come's with two batterys I would have NP changing the battery with the back up but would the two batterys get me by for the day? I have been useing my 510 with a pcc but one of my 510 batterys is on it's last leg.

Had a vp1 and got about the same battery life as a 510 manual battery. Carried around a 4 pack of batteries with me and it still wasnt enough to last me wake up to bed time sometimes. 14500 in a vp2 or a protege lasts me all day or near all day. sometimes I replace the battery towards the end of the day. Best compromise between size and battery life - 14500.

Silver bullet, prodigy, and a few others use the 18650 at 3.7v and the battery lasts me 2 days. Quite a bit larger than the 14500 battery mods though.

I use one of my 14500 mods when out and about and my larger mods for 6v via cr123a batts.

If you don't mind carrying around a zucchini with you all day, go for one of the 18650 mods.
If you want something smaller that will still last 5 hours heavy vaping, go with a 14500 mod.

you could just save yourself some money and buy a few more 510 batts.

Well I have Parkinson's disease and I find my self picking my 510 up from the floor more then anything else so something that would be easy to hold onto would be better but I'm also not looking towards having a 10 pound weight in my pocket. Thats why when someone said they would make me a AA-nicostick with an LED for $20.00 I jumped on it but that din't work out all that good.

Send a PM to cybervex. He makes Nicostick mods that are very nicely put together. He also sells some that have USB charging (like a Janty Stick) that can be used as a passthrough for when you're sitting at your computer. They take 14500 900mAh batteries and can last a while. Also, he's honest and reliable. I've bought a couple of mods from him, and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. He makes them to order. Check out Bartleby PV review

I like the Nicostick mods. They're small, light, and easily fixable if something happens. I also like the on/off switch, so it doesn't accidentally go off in your pocket.

Sorry to hear about any bad experiences you have had with others. For the most part, folks around here are pretty reliable.

If you sent a postal money order to someone then you should have a pretty good chance of nailing the person with mail fraud. Federal crime, that one. Furthermore, you should be able to get your money back, though it might take a while.
