You can get a 14500 with a higher mah rating.
As a loose guide line, every 100 mah higher is another hour of usage. However, e-cig attys take more power than a flashlight, so the rating is probably closer to a half hour.

If you choose to get a bigger mod that fits an 18650 with 3000 mah, you should be able to make it through the day.

The 26500 is the same size as a C cell, it's big. 18650s are probably the best value and they're longer and narrower, better for something that fits in your hand. However, if you build an Evercool mod with two 14500s, you can greatly increase run time compared to a single 14500 without jumping up in size too much. You can do the same thing with two 18650s and get huge run time, but like using a 26500, it makes for a big mod.

Spot on CraigHB, I have built 4 Evercool's with 14500's and get no less than a full day of vaping on a set of charged 14500's. As you say, bigger battery = bigger mod.....

the MV c batt box will not only hold 2 26500 batts but if you shoehorn them in it will house a meter either a MurataPS or TI SIP5 switching regulator, button, and off switch...I have done it so I know it can be done...it was a little dicey but once I figured out a footprint to use it worked out well...I prefer more space to work in but I can go real small...Ask bmwjen about her new Pez dispenser in a few days when she gets it...I did it for the challenge and decided it wasn't as hard as I thought once I saw it...worst part was making a bit more room in the head...
