I think I've finally decided what I need. Been vaping and completely off of analogs since Feb.5th -Hurrah! Using my Joye 510s but getting tired of the constant battery changes and the leaking attys. What would be perfect for me is a 3.7 with protected batteries ( I think 14500?) that last about 4-6 hours at least, an on/off switch so it doesn't go off in my purse or pocket and a feed system for the juice so I don't have to be constanly filling carts and one that doesn't leak! Does one exist? The smaller the better of course and compatible with 510 attys would be just perfect. Oh, and sealed battery compartment so nothing leaks and ruins my hoping existing perfect mod. Thanks for all replies and many, many thanks for my returning good health.
What you are describing to the letter is a "box mod". I use one called the Bartleby, and it is excellent, and has all the things you want, plus is USB rechargeable, and can be vaped as a PT while plugged in. $50.
Bartleby: Bartleby
The 510 atty was, IMHO,
meant to be used on a 14500 batt. Just outstanding vaping, and the attys last so much longer since they don't get clogged anymore with lower coil voltage of a regular or mega batt. On/off switch, sealed electronics inside, fits in a purse or pocket easily. All good. Highly recommended, but Jay might not be shipping for a couple weeks, as he just had twins. He only does PayPal, no CC, and he's particular about the wording you use to send $, since paypal does not like PVs. His emails are short and to the point. His product is a favorite here, and very well built.
Someone is selling their 14500 box mods, the same as a Bart but no USB charging or LEDs, in the classifieds, but I can't find the thread now. Those were going for $27.
Another suggestion is getting 510 cartomizers for longer use than the carts and another thought is the Juice Box, which uses the 18650 3.7V, so longer life than the 14500. Here is Snarky's video review:

Might solve the juice feeding thing too. It uses its own atty, but it supposedly lasts many months. Its bigger than the normal 14500 box mod, and might be too big for you, but its a PV that actually has a juice bottle in it and self feeds juice.
