Black eGo-T LCD 1100mah Battery - Smoke Anywhere For Penny's, LLC Store and eGo-T 1300mah Battery - Smoke Anywhere For Penny's, LLC Store are just some examples of other battery types out there as well. There are also ego batts with a usb passthrough (allows you to plug into a usb port and charge while you vape), but I've heard some negative things about those. Also, I'm not trying to promote the above site as I've never ordered from there, just that those two links were quick and easy as they're in my favorites in IE in my wish list folder :)

Makes no sense to me, either! I have a couple of them, and I love the variable voltage (3.2, 3.7, and 4.2) feature but I don't take them out into the world with me very much because I can't turn them off like the ego-T batts. I especially like that I can set the voltage for 4.2 and use LR dual-coil cartos without killing the battery before its time.

if the vv ego batt works anything like the ego booster, using lr defeats the purpose of raising the voltage. from what i understand, using LR also "lowers the voltage" (i know it's more complicated than that). but in laymens terms, if you use a sr device on it at 4.2v, you'll get close to that. if using an lr device, you'll get less voltage, let's say, around 3.7. all that depends on the ohms of the cartos and the voltage being put out. but this is just to give you my version of a general idea for how the ego booster works with sr and lr cartos. so this might be the same for the vv ego batt, it may not, i don't know. just wanted to give you a heads up on that though, as i'm pretty sure everybody who uses higher than 3.7 voltage uses sr or even hr cartos.

**edit** one more thing, from what i understand about dual coils, is that they already lower the ohm-age since there's 2 coils. so having a lr dual coil is like, doubly lr, which would make it even worse?

Just an FYI, that's not a genuine Joyetech battery... I'm interested to see how they work for others though...

Quick rundown on LR attys... You can achieve the same results by boosting voltage or lowering the resistance of the atty. Square the voltage and divide by resistance to get your wattage, and this is the number to use to compare apples to apples. For example:

A 3.7 V battery with a 3.0 ohm atomizer: (3.7 x 3.7) / 3.0 = 4.56 Watts
3.7 V with 1.5 ohm atomizer: (3.7 x 3.7) / 1.5 = 9.13 Watts
5.0 V with 3.0 ohm atomizer: (5.0 x 5.0) / 3.0 = 8.33 Watts

It does get more complicated with multiple coils. You end up with a more complicated equation. You add up 1/r (if resistance is 4, 1/4) for the number of resistors (coils), and then invert the resulting fraction. For example for a dual coil, 3 ohm atomizer, you'd get 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3, and inverted 3/2 = 1.5 ohms. HOWEVER, I think they rate them for the total resistance, so if a dual coil atomizer is rated at 1.5 ohms, then it's two 3.0 ohm coils with an overall circuit resistance of 1.5 ohms... Confused yet?

I often use a variable voltage mod with lr attys, I just turn them down. VV allows me to buy whatever attys are cheapest...
