Maybe an mvp. The 20W is a good price these days, and has long battery life.

+1

I agree--the MVP 20 is a good quality, long lasting, easy to care for battery. If you want to puff all day, you'll have to switch to box-shaped PVs.

Eleaf iStick 30 and Heatvape Defender 25W are also very good choices. Shop around for best prices.

This is true. A Sigelei Mini 30W will work, too, but you also need to buy a good 18650 battery for it like a Samsung 25r. Its also bigger than the MVP. And Sigelei says not to vape while charging, so if you don't have an external charger, and at least two batteries, you're stuck when it needs to charge.

OP, here is an awesome price! Heck, for that price I might get one:

Wow, I didn't click on roxynoodle's link. 25$, that's a good deal. But with me I just can't stand bulky batteries/mods.

Yeah, its getting so cheap, its great for anyone who doesn't need more than 20W. And they're very durable and reliable. I should get one for yard and barn work.

Its smallish, but a little heavy if its like the 2.0 I used to have.

It gets better...use coupon code YEAHBABY to take it to $22.49. Then first class shipping is $3.40. So total was $25something. I just bought one myself for a beater :). Not that it needs to be a beater, but I'm expecting typical MVP durability that the isticks just don't have. Going to pair it with a single coil clone for barn work :)

Are you looking for a mod that has a built in battery or batteries to put in a mod ?
Not sure what that means, Ive only ever purchased batteries to go with my Kanger Tech top parts ( Im assuming thats what a Mod is) but I have no preference just want something that will last at least 6 months without issues

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.

mod with internal battery

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.

Need recommendations on the best battery, I vape alot. I have purchased 6 batterys in the last 12 months, none has lasted over 4 months. What do you recommend for a person who pretty much puffs all day?
What kind of batteries are you using? Egos, Vision Spinners? Most people start with something like a Vision Spinner battery, if they prefer the batteries that look a bit more like cigarettes. My Spinners lasted me two years. It sounds like you may be buying ego knock-offs, because a battery should last much longer than four months.
Why don't you try ordering from a reputable online store, like Sweet-Vapes.com? Their Vision Spinner batteries are $18 for a 1300mah size that should last you all day. If you prefer a box mod, they have the very popular mvp2 for about $36. That price is for the kit which comes with a charger, and the cool thing about it is you can vape on it while it's charging.
It's still a good idea to buy 2 batteries, and you'll save a lot of money buying online vs at a local vape store.
