An eGo batt lasts me all day, however I switch back and forth between other devices, so it's hard to give a good estimate. You can also purchase the 900 mAh batts for the eGo. They last longer than the standard eGO batt.
I ordered mine from liberty-flights.com
Their prices are very reasonable and shipping is only $3- plus, they have a 20% discount going on right now. They're in the UK and I thought shipping would take a while, but I received my order in four days. They've got all kinds of colors to choose from, as well. I went with pink for the XL batt and cone I ordered.
Their starter kits are here:

There are 2 eGo batteries. A 650 mAh and a 900 mAh with the 650 being most common.
The standard 510 battery = 180 mAh
The mega 510 battery = 300 mAh
I use a 2400 mAh battery which lasts me all day, or 18 hours. A standard 510 would last me 25-40 minutes. A mega 510 would last me almost 2 hours.
I'm classified as a very heavy vapor to most.
So while most folks can go all day on eGo, it would not make it for me, but it is a good battery life by any measure.

this site you gave me the kit oly comes with 1 atomizer, the other site came with 2 atomizers for same price
Since throat hit, TH, is important to you, I'd suggest getting some back up Joye 510 attys and a couple of Joye 510 LR attys. Get the hang of the regular Joyes then blow out and season a LR. The LR should produce a bit more vapor, but it gives a warmer hit so a bit more TH. Some folks have trouble getting the LR working well in the beginning and the standards seem to have less of a learning curve.
Your next step is finding a juice that works for you.
i have 555 , usa mix both from Nhaler and from t.w. i have apple, they all are ok with me, just next time im going to get like the 48mg stuff
Some sites sell the ego under the name of Tornado. It's the same model just different names. I know Totally Wicked sells a Tornado kit that comes with 2 batteries and 2 atomizers.

18, i watch like 4 vids on how to fill the carts, and i always get juice in my mouth, and have to hit it like 6 times be4 it starts working right
I've never been a cart guy for that reason alone. Although I still get some juice while dripping every once in a while, it happens much less. People swear by carts though. You can modify them and make them work better from what I understand. Do a search on the forum if that interest you. I've just always been a fan of dripping. Little bit of a pain, but it taste best to me.
I started out with automatic batteries with cartomizers from V4L. But once I got the eGo, I haven't looked back. The manual works just fine, the battery life is excellent, and I have learned how to drip efficiently, and it gives the best flavor/th/vapor. Love it. I still have my automatic with carts for backup, but I find that as long as I have an atomizer for each flavor, the eGo is my fav.
Chalie, dripping is when you have an atomizer and a cartridge separately (the standard, as opposed to a cartomizer), and you drip liquid straight onto the atomizer. It's a stronger hit and cleaner. You have to do it more often though, since you don't want to flood the atty. I usually will just drip about 3 drops onto the atty, soak the cartridge, and vape about as much as a cig would have been back in the day before I need to drip again.

Yeah, the full kit may not be the best price around. Plus, they include prefilled cartos, which I personally wouldn't really care to get. Like you, I'd rather have another atty.
I just figured up how much it would be to just order the kit a la cart, though. Not a bad deal.
2 Black eGo 510 - Cone $2.79 $5.58
1 Joye eGo Black eGo 650mAh Battery $19.49
1 Joye eGo XL 900mAh Battery $21.49
1 Joye 510 & eGo eGo 510 - USB Fast Charger $7.49
2 Low Resistance Joye 510 Atomizers $17.98
Total $72.02
-20% $14.40
=$57.62
Plus Shipping $3
Grand total $60.62
There may be a better deal elsewhere, but at least going a la cart, you can start out with a 900mAh battery. For what I listed here, I did one of each.
I like the 901 better than the 510, and use both manual and auto. I find the battery life is longer on the 901 weather it be manual or auto. JMO.
I used to overfill my cartomizers and spit juice for like the first week. Then I figured out they hit best when kept moist with 6-12 drops instead of trying to dump a 10 ml bottle in it right off the bat. There is a learning curve to these!
I tried this befor and i got nothing, i only used 1 drop too, and it was like it was flooded....tried it with the blu
