Good post Snow. I've said this before in other threads but it bears mentioning again - I think V4L does need to venture more into this area. We all grow in our vaping knowledge/needs as time progresses and most of us eventually want to go out exploring. I, for one, would definitely like to give my $ to V4L if they offered these kind of things.
Here's a mid-level product that I found:
The ECHO battery. It's made by a company in China called Hangsen and is available by many different retailers here. The diameter is almost exactly that of a 3.5ml tank. It comes in a few different mah levels. I have a couple of the 1300mah, which are shorter than a V4L XL battery. It's 808 threaded and goes seamlessly onto a V4L tank, so no gap for those that are annoyed with the aesthetics of the EGO. It's automatic, so no button to worry about. It has a short charge time (2-3 hours from what I've seen for the most part) and lasts forever. I can use one on a 1.5ohm tank for over a full day with heavy usage. The price is great as well. They run for about $15-20. Very good for what you get.
Now. I'm not just trying to pimp non-V4L products here. As I said, I'd like to be able to buy these kind of things from V4L. But I don't just want V4L to carry these. I want them to take this design and evolve it. Improve on it. I have faith that they can. Although these batteries are good, they only maintain about a 3.7v charge. That's OK, but could be a bit better. Also, the cutoff is only 4 seconds or so, which is extremely annoying. Just when you're starting to get a decent hit it cuts off and you have to puff an additional time or two. Finally, they can be a little finicky when first screwing them onto the tank as to whether it will fire or not. Sometimes it takes some adjustment before you're off and running.
This is something that I think V4L could really run with. It's already 808 so it goes right along with the rest of the V4L line. It fits on the tanks like it was made specifically for it. If they could improve the output and cutoff time, I would be more than willing to buy these at a higher price point ($25-35+). Come on V4L. Things have been a bit stale around here for a long time now. We need something to get us all raving again!
