Read read read You have to see whats important to you.I have an 801.I love it.Tons of vapor,long battery life,and longer lasting refills.I can vape more and not change batts and refill every 2 minutes.Less hassle.
Didn't quit analogs until I got the Jantystick (only needed to charge new battery once a day). I actually found the draw on the 510 a little too easy -- it was like, surprise, you have vapor. With the mods, you just breath in slow, but you can feel the vapor. Throat hit isn't high on my list, but my husband is a 2+ pack per day smoker and lung hit is more what he's looking forHe was not happy with the 510, but does like the Jantystick ... he's halved the analogs, but still feels something is missing.
Now, the Jantystick is my backup and I use the VP2 -- even better vapor, more throat hit with a long slow draw if you're interested (enough vapor with a shorter draw if you're not). Best IMHO is that the battery lasts me ALL DAY (I was a pack/day smoker).
So ... if you're shy of a modified battery, yes, try the 510 -- but you may end up taking the next step anyway.
Good luck!
Thanks everyone for the wonderful advice. I suppose I should have given more info along with my OP.
I would love to have a mod device, but it is totally and completely out of my budget right now. I would just get a battery pack (whatever you call them?)for the 901, except that the draw is my #1 problem- I feel like I'm trying to suck a milkshake through a coffee stirrer. I do love vaping, and have no intentions of giving it up, or going back to analogs. I just have to work within $ constraints, and a cheapo kit is all I can afford right now. Unfortunately probably until after christmas- I've got 3 kids, and 5 neices and nephews to buy gifts for, and my habit falls in a poor second.
So, in the meantime, I'll probably be reading up on the modders forum, and hopefully learn how to make a battery mod for myself for the 510.

For your husband, I would suggest a 5 or 6 volt devices such as the Prodigy or the GG. Best throat hit of all devices.
did my "research" on recomendations, joye 510, 2nd day works like a charm!!! 1.5 packs a day for 40 years, down to two .... logs, second day! woooooooooooot just gotta keep that cart wet, mega batts on the way, should cause some length to my charge regiment, then a passthru is next...........luv this thang
Thanks for the encouragement wv2win. I'm usually pretty handy, although electronics are a bit beyond me. I do at least own a soldering iron, and can do basics.
I will want a standard 510 battery for going out (i HATE people staring at me) so I think a bat mod will be good for around the house. (I don't work, so most of my time is at home anyway). I'm reading the directions for the nicostick now, trying to make sense of them. Thankfully it looks to have been pretty thoroughly discussed. While the terminology is over my head, I at least have a mostly functional knowledge of electronics. (why didn't they teach that in school anyways? sheesh!)
