A step up

[kj4lxw]

No huge revelation here, just decided on making a change which is a step up for me.

After one of my two original 510 batts died from the starter kit, I ended up aquiring 3 more 510 batts so I would never be without.
And then, as it seems to happen so often with vaping I acquired a Tornado battery (but sweetheart...it was on SALE).

So to make a long story short, just gotten fed up with seemingly constant recharging of the 180mah batts compared to the 650mah.
Ordered one of the Ego type batts from TV and just going to be done with it. Going to keep one of the auto batts as occasionally its fun to vape analog style for old time's sake, and find good homes for the rest.
I am finding that I timeout the 180mah batts constantly because I'm getting so used to the longer draw time with a 650 batt.

Using the 650mah battery compared to the standard 510 is not that much difference in size, and the pay off of longer runtimes is much more worth it to me than the slimmer package.


Like I said, no new information here, just felt like posting about what I decided to do. Even though it feels like I have been vaping forever it only been less than 90 days and it's still fun to talk about it.

So so so true! Wouldn't it have been nice not to start with a standard model, all that money wasted

I just ordered a Riva starter kit even though I have the 510 kit. I wish I would have started with the Riva instead of the 510. The battery life is the downside to the standard 510.

You might want to consider getting a mod that uses standard size batteries that last much longer and can be purchased almost anywhere for less money.......

I agree mods are the way to go. I recommend a box mod to start with, as long as you don't mind the looks of smoking out of a battery, because they are the simplest mods to use and the least expensive.
I actually ordered my 1st HV mod a GLV2 and am very excited. Probably be a couple of weeks before I get it though.
