Best eGo battery?

[El Murko]

Hey

Looking for some advice. I'm using the Kanger T3M with eGo batteries, and am fed up with having to replace them so often. My original Vision Spinners packed up after 6 months, 2 cheapo ones from Apollo have lasted 3-4 months, and one I picked up in the UK has only lasted 2 months.

So, which eGo-type battery, from which company, would you buy? The bigger and more powerful the better for me, but I just want one that's gonna last more than a few months!

Thanks.

I think Vision* make excellent batteries. Joyetech too. However, I don't think Spinners* last very well i.m.o. I am on #3 in 14 (?) months.

I have a 2 year old Riva (KGo) which is still working fine.

If you are getting through them fast, maybe a mechanical mod might work out - with external batteries.

Yeah, looking at the MVP and iTaste VV. I've no clue though as to what is best. I really want something small enough to carry round. The MVP looks way too chunky for me. Plus I rebuild my own Kanger atomisers (with varying results), so would want something that would also be easy to rebuild.

Ideally, I just after some good quality 1000+mah eGo batteries that will last at least a year.

I have both MVP and iTasteVV. The iTaste lasts well enough for an 800mAh. Both should last a year, easy - but often things don't turn out as we expect. I buy these "disposable" batteries on the assumption that I must not be disappointed if they only last a few months.

Joye Ego C upgraded passthroughs... best in that family.

Some vendors don't put "upgraded" on them so read the description. It should say something like:

Regulated mode = 3.3 volts and the firing led will be white.
Unregulated mode = 4.2 volts fully charged and decreasing as used. Led will be orange.
Led color change to show battery charge level when in regulated mode but no change in unregulated mode.

I bought the Joyetech 18650 tube mod in 2012. I never got on with it really.
On 3.3v it was poor.
On a fresh 18650 it was overpowering and I never found a good resistance atomizer for it.

I am thinking of getting it out of the vape box. Ready to vape 1.5 clearomiser heads are widely available these days and using these on 3.3v might be just about right. (7.2 watts?)

A genuine Joyetech, I have one 3 1/2 years old that still works perfectly....
