Battery life + heavy smoker??

Hi all,
New to e-cigs and have some questions hopefully someone may reply too. We recently purchased what we think and thought after doing some research a colbri micro starter kit and colibri nano single e-cig. The size is 7.8 diameter x 84 mm long....not sure what you would call this little cig, not an e8 for sure. PERFECT?? well yes and no,,great vapour and awesome taste with my butter rum e juice but batteries last maybe 20minutes and I have 3 so it keeps us going unfortunately I find myself charging the hell out of these and refilling many times a day.
I am ok with that but my husband is getting overly frustrated being a heavy smoker with the inconveince and afraid he will give up as he has only smoke one pack of annalogs in a week of vaping, and he loves the analog size cig and does not want something the size of a tank,lol
Big question out there to all you vapers is! suggestions for an e-cig+battery+ carto that lasts all day for him, and for me looking for compatibile battery and blanks cartos for my colibri micro/nano.
Been looking online to see what battery may fit mine,, maybe njoy 510???? thread may not fit and wish I new the size number for ex. e8.e9.etc... besides I read that epuffer is not selling blank cartos anymore and their website states out of stock,,hummmm
Help please out there.:(
thanks.

The most affordable solution for him would be an 'itaste mvp' it has 510 and ego style threading for tanks or cartos and a large battery 2600mah. If you do a search you'll find most people love them, myself included.

Edit: just re-read, the mvp is a box style battery. If that isn't acceptable, I would look for ego style with 1000mah or greater.

I agree with Sean. For the size, eGos are unbeatable in terms of mAh capacity and small'ish form factor. They are around the size of a slim cigar.

Owned two eGos, both served me incredibly well. Do yourself a favor and snag a genuine Joyetech eGo. They are the most well known brand of eGos and considered quality as compared to other generic ones which may or may not be as reliable.

At the end of the day, though, you will get much more versatility, power, and charge time off something like an APV with a 2,000+ mAh battery as well as other benefits. But hey, those don't suit everyone and if not? No problem. Just get an eGo ;)

I agree with the EGO recommendation but if that is still too large then there is another option.

Many people seem to like the eRoll. THough each individual battery does not last long it has a case that is itself sort of a battery backup to charge your batterys with. So the used one goes in the case to charge while you are vaping the 2nd one.

Several Cigalikes have kits with these sorts of cases I know Volt has one and a few others. I just mentioned eRoll since I have seen many people that seem to really enjoy them.

eRoll is a great suggestion Myrany, also look around for an eMini OP... (the two products are the same thing). The actual e-cig these use is sized exactly like an analog cigarette, so your husband will like the form factor most likely. If you are ok with stepping up from the Colibri nano then heed the advice in this thread about eGo batteries, and get a decent tank for the thing (maybe mini pro tank 2?), with a 1000/1100mAh eGo you might be able to go all day without a charge :)

Those are pretty dated and low end from what I just googled. I also have an MVP2 mod type battery that takes about 2000 button presses in a day without blinking. I have only needed to charge it at most while I sleep. Those ego batteries and evod type ones are smaller but won't last as long. From there a good starter tank are the Evods from kangertech or I prefer the mini protank from kanger.

Gonna have to agree with everyone else. I started vaping with those Blu eCigs, and they had a great taste and vapor. But at the end of the day, charging batteries left and right just wasn't going to cut it. Not to mention that all batteries have a charge-cycle lifespan - in other words, the more you have to charge it, the less the battery is going to work/hold a charge.

I currently have a 1300 mAh eGo V2 Mega and this thing holds a charge all day long, with what I consider moderate to heavy use. Sure, it's a decent bit larger than a standard analog - like somebody said, maybe a slightly slimmer cigar. But it fits in my pocket right next to my smartphone - which I consider to be less bulky than a pack of cigarettes.
