Okay, I see what kind of batteries you are using now. If it were me, I'd buy the mvp3, which is a 30watt box mod that has excellent reviews. You didn't say how much your budget is, but since you've been vaping awhile now, why not buy something that will last. You can also SubOhm vape with mvp3 since it's a 30w mod. The 30watt iStick would be my second choice, and at $35 is about $20 less than the mvp3. Again, Sweet-Vapes.com sells all this and more, and their shipping is fast. If you want to try SubOhm vaping, then buy a Subtank Mini tank for about $33. I love mine, as do thousands of other vapers. What kind of clearomizers /tanks are you using with your batteries?

The iTaste VV3 (two on the left) are considered small mods with internal batteries. The two on the right are considered "ego" style batteries, also using an internal battery. Both are considered to be "disposable" once their battery dies.

You have two options:

A mod which uses external replaceable rechargeable batteries (below). Advantage here is when the batteries go bad, you just buy new batteries for only like $6 -10 each, and continue to use the same mod. You will need multiple IMR batteries (at least two) and a box charger (about $20) to charge those batteries. Probably the better choice for the committed "long term" vaper. These batteries can be expected to last 1 - 2 years, the mod should last double that or longer.

mod with external batteries

A mod which uses internal rechargeable batteries (below). Advantage is the battery is charged with a USB charger like your eGo batteries, so you don't need to buy a separate box charger for about $20. Disadvantage here is once the battery dies, the entire mod is useless. Battery life expectancy is likely 8 - 12 months daily use.

Both options above are going to be significantly larger than what you have been using. Both options considered an upgrade. With vaping, the bigger the battery the better the vape and the longer you can vape.

StarreLabelle, thanks so much for the info, I had no clue. I went ahead and bought the Itaste MVP today, so I should be good for a while.

Unfortunately the battery life of those as well as for others is of 300 cycles or 3 months, so if you're a chain vaper you have to get used to this. I also suggest an iStick 30, it'll give you a little more power so charging will last a little longer. Get two, don't just settle for one.
