oh, ok i dont blame you, i hate ppl full of themselfs like that and deff. dont like people who screws over other people. so back to the battery stuff, im trying to find a PV that gives you the full lung feeling, i got the ego with a 306LR but still my lungs dont seem to ever feel full when i take a huge hit, is this due to the low output of the ego battery?

The LR atty will kill your batts. They are not capable of putting out the amps needed. The eGo mega attys work like what you are looking for. I have told you that before, but maybe I haven't been clear. They are MUCH better than 510 attys.

yeah the eGo battery really cant do justice to that LR atty...

you can get box mods fairly cheaply, or build one...and a LiMN high drain battery in the 14500 size will blow the eGo away

EDIT: that's what I'm running on right now while I sell stuff and save up for the precise... a box mod with an AW IMR 14500 and a LR306 atty with the bridge removed and a drip tip

someone told me the mega attys are just like the 510 just bigger, didnt know they put out diffrent amount of power, hmm ill look into it

Not like the 510 at all, bigger bridge and coil. Plus a much faster juice delivery due to the larger cart. They do eat juice faster though.

I'd still go with a box mod...they really do take very little soldering skill (I'd never soldered before and it took me maybe 30 min total to make one)...dirt cheap...
and I mean cheap...like $8 for a kit with a predrilled box..all you gotta do is put it together
aw IMR 14500 battery
and that LR306....

but I'm biased..that's what I'm running

I'd be curious what the eGo mega atty would do on a box mod. They do make an LR 1.5 version for $7.50 Joye eGo LOW RESISTANCE Atomizer in 2 Colors(eGo LR) [Joye eGo] - $7.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail and an eGo charger adapter would make it work(or stacked adapters).

dunno I've tried the eGo mega carto on it on stacked adapters...it was all right...shrug...right now I'm very very happy with the 306, let me put it this way for 8 months I used 510s and then I tried the 306...so 2 and a half months I've almost completely switched entirely to the 306...

wow sounds like it take a lil to get used to, sounds like it will be easy to flood

Nope... Doesn't happen. I have an Ali'i and never have this problem.

All you got to do is squeeze and hold the bottle until you see juice coming out at the base of the atty into the catch cup. Let go of the squeeze and vape. That's it. Works perfectly every time. Any excess juice gets sucked back into the bottle. Each feed of the atty last for about 8 vapes on my regular 510.

Well i dont use carts i drip, so i would still be better off then huh, ima give it a go then, are they fatter? Or just longer, like will my cone still fit?

They are the same diameter as the eGo batt and replace the cone.

IMHO, the eGo mega carto has nothing on the big atty/carts. I gave up on those leakin' things(eGo mega cartos) after my first full pack ended up defective. Every one of them developed a hole in the side. FWIW, the eGo mega atty is supposedly bassed on the 306, but looking at the bridge, it is bigger. The thing is an effing smog machine.

+1 for the Buzz.

There's also the Tekk Mod which runs at 5.2v and has 2 x 18650 inside. It easily lasts 3 days between charges. Clouds of Vapor sells a fixed voltage model and NHaler sells a variable voltage model.

I'm also quite partial to my Chuck. It's built like a tank and is the work horse of all my PVs.

+1 for the Cisco LR 306's too. I removed the wick and the bridge from mine and it's got the same feel as my Tekk or my Buzz at 5v with a regular atty. I'm using one on my box mod right now.

OP here. Thanks everyone for the advice.

Definitely going with the Ali'i, it's a thing on beauty. The simplicity of it and large battery capacity will definitely make things a lot easier.

The Ali'i can work with 510, 801, or 901 atty's, which give me a good choice.
I see talk of LR and eGo mega atty's. eGo mega for $6.57 sounds pretty good, but still need a few more opinions.

So the Atomic Cinnacide juice that quasimod brought up sounds awesome.
I'm open to some more opinions for other eliquids / juices. What juices have totally blown you away?

FYI

Modified Electronic Cigarettes and their types

There are 4 main types of devices

I. 1. battery powered , no regulation ( no voltage control , power to the atomizer follows the battery voltage )
2. Fixed Regulated ( they are a preset voltage output )
II. 3. Switched regulated ( they have several preset voltages that are selectable )
III. 4. Variable regulated ( they are continuously variable within a range of voltages )

Advantages / disadvantages

A . Battery powered
i. Advantages: No circuitry to fail ,
ii. Disadvantages : No load regulation , the voltage will droop with the battery life and you will loose power and vapor , No protection circuitry

B. Fixed regulation :
iii. Advantages : Regulated output voltage , consistent vaping voltage over the life of the battery
iv. Disadvantages : No control over the voltage

C. Switched regulation
v. Advantages : Regulated output voltage , switchable voltage values
vi. disadvantages : values are fixed and can not be adjusted

D. Variable regulation:
i. advantages : Complete control over the output voltage to the atomizer
ii. disadvantages : you will fiddle with the voltage until you find the spot you like .

PS: not all regulators are created equal , most have built in protection circuitry but not all so ask the manufacturer.

Types of regulators : there are 2 main types of regulators

1. Linear / analog types , these types of regulators drop voltage across them to control the output voltage to the load (i.e. Atomizer or cartomizer ) they require a certain amount of minimum voltage across them to operate ( LDO types requires less voltage drop across them ).
2. PWM or ( pulse width modulated ) this type of regulator uses pulses of voltage switching on and off to charge a capacitor and regulate the voltage output , there are 2 types of basic PWM regulators A. Buck and B. Boost , a buck regulator drops the voltage down and Boost reg. Boosts the voltage ( there is another type that does both )

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type BUT any regulated device will control the voltage and keep it stable throughout the battery charge time .
Many people have found that uncontrolled voltage to an atomizer can cause them to open up and go bad , or cause the flavor and temperature of the juice to taste burnt or too hot for the vapor .
