My first e cigarette was an ego clone. It helped me quit analogs, was simple to use and maintain, and the batteries kept working for almost a year. The original kit more than paid for itself.
I fought the software wars. Good liquid was easy to find. I went from cartridges to tanks, cartomizers, clearomizers and carto tanks. I've settled on Resurrectors for the time being, but still hoping to find a good delivery system with a larger capacity.
The hardware wars started when I got tired of swapping batteries roughly every 4 hours. I vape a lot! Foolishly, I've not learned a lot about batteries beyond stacking is evil and mods with removable batteries have to have vent holes. I've been experimenting based on duration of charge.
First, I got the ego 18650 mod with a Trustfire charger and 2 Trustfire 18650 batteries. It just felt weird, so I swapped out for an Epower 18650. The batteries lasted about 10 hours, but I felt weird carrying it around. Within 2 months the charger and batteries began humming louder and louder every time I plugged them in. The supplier told me that was normal with age, but I was outside the 30 day point, so I couldn't get replacements. 18650 just was not working for me.
Next I got an Epower 14650 kit. The batteries lasted about 7 hours, a little less than I had hoped for, but it was very comfortable to use and carry. Unfortunately, something ragged inside the tube ripped a strip of casing off one of the 14650 batteries. That supplier has offered to replace the kit, which is wonderful, but I'm back to the old ego batteries until the replacement arrives.
Is there a mod I should be trying instead? I know Provari is the best of the best of the best, sir, but due to the cost, I'd feel like I had taken a ming vase to a rugby match!
I would like a durable set up with a 510 connection, battery life between 7 to 10 hours. Any serious advise would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
