It's a nice small mod with more power. Up to 20 watts

Most will agree with Necrotic but I'd like to kick out an alternative...the IPV Mini and the Kanger Genitank. I have both the Nautilus Mini and the Genitank and both provide a great vape and hold plenty of juice but the Geni provides way better airflow adjustment and is a much better looking and sturdier option. And the IPV Mini is more powerful, has a floating, adjustable 510 pin and a replaceable battery. Cost-wise, it's about a wash.
I also would suggest the IPV Mini over the iStick. I have both of them and the build quality of the iStick is not very good. The IPV is way better made and hast not a built in battery which is much better. I use my IPV Mini with an Samsung SDI 18650-25R with Tanks and Drippers. If you wanne go for a clearomizer i would suggest the Aspire Nautilus or the Kanger Aerotank V2, depending on how you like the airflow to be.
i never was really able to get a grasp on the whole ohms wattage for the coils and stuff when ever i read about it gets all confusing and a bunch of technical terms
Vaping equipment, at least for the moment, is totally a la carte.
If you like the evod heads, (and MANY folks do) just get a new battery; perhaps an MVP or istick, or ego twist, or vision spinner.
Never had an IPV, but those might be cool too....

i have been looking at all of your suggestions which i am very grateful for but i noticed that they are all big then i came across the inokin itaste vv v3 and noticed its variable wattage and volts again i don't really understand much about that stuff but would something like that work cause its still kinda small like my battery now but i did frown upon the price i found it at was 40 just for 1 battery the kit i have now was 40 total with 2 batteries 2 tanks charger and bunch of accessories
Just reread my post - sorry, I didn't mean to write an essay but here it is anyway.
The iStick is tiny, about as tall as a bic lighter and just a little bit wider. Link to photo of iStick compared to battery similar to yours here Scroll down a little, the iStick is the small square battery in the middle of the bottom picture.
Most of the VV3 / VV4 batteries I've seen are around 30-40 each for an 800mAh battery (think 100mAh per hour runtime for a light vaper) where the iStick is a 2200mAh which should last a day for a heavy vaper and a couple of days for a light to average vaper. The VV3 is a great 'stick' type battery if that is really what you want. Consider that the iStick is around $30 as well and for the money, I would take the iStick over the VV3 - but the VV3 is a great product too (but look around, $40 is too much)
Variable voltage and variable wattage are just ways you can adjust the power output on the battery to get a vape you like. You don't really have to understand it, but it will allow you to dial in pretty much anything you put on top of it to get the vape you prefer.
Just throwing a curve out there, if you really like the form factor of your EVOD battery, why not just get an upgraded version of it? Something like a ego Twist $21.99 or
Vision Spinner I $24.99
Both of these batteries are Variable Voltage (VV) and can also be adjusted to suit your vaping style.
Finally, have a look around the forum eGo Forum and General VV APVs for things people are talking about, issues they have with various models, photo's and reviews. You might see something else you might like.
I know it can be daunting getting a new piece of equipment, but my number one recommendation is to do as much research and reading and seek as many different opinions as you can. You might also consider looking on youtube for reviews. Visiting a local store may be a good option too. They may well have a lot of these devices there so you can pick them up and play with them (even buy them if the price isn't too crazy)

A lot of good suggestions so far. It is really about what you are comfortable with and your budget. The VV3 is not bad at all. It is small and what you are accustomed too so that could work for you. The battery life is not great, but it does have pass through ability so you can plug it in and still use it. I had one and used it often and it worked well with the iClear 30s tanks I had at them time. Not a bad vape at all.
I would suggest the IPV mini or the iStick though. I have an iStick and I do use it, but it sadly gets left behind lately because I like many have upgraded twice since the iStick first came out. The iStick has an internal battery so you don't have to worry about buying good batteries and a charger. The IPV mini would probably be better, but then you would at least need a good battery such as the Sony VTCs or the LGs HE2s. You can charge the battery through the USB port on the device, but a charger would be better.
Again it is what you are comfortable with so read up and then decide which way you want to go. If you go slow and learn as much as possible along the way then the biggest mistake you will make is wanting to upgrade sooner instead of something bad like a battery venting because you tried to sub ohm on a 100 watt box mod with some shady batteries.

thank you everyone for the helpful advice i ended up going with the istick cause it was only 20 some of those things i did not even know about the people on here are definitely very helpful but unfortanly i am still unable to find a flavor that is even ok so I've wasted so much money on juice I'm to the point where I'm asking people if they have any juice they want tested of any flavor and pg/vg mix
