For heavy use, would you recommend a e-cigar over penstyle?

I am still using my first e-cig, a mini from Puresmoker. It's going fine, though I am switching out batteries every 8 hours, and when I vape, I am topping off carts every 5 minutes, sometimes more. I guess I am obsessive-I am vaping more than I smoked analogs.
So......for heavy use, would a e-cigar serve me better for my next e-cig purchase than a penstyle?
What are your thoughts?
p.s. i want lots of vapor and taste...that's even more important than battery life.

Well I got a cigar and I was not impressed - I think you would be better served with a screwdriver from Trog - or have someone (or yourself) make up a magnum mod for you - If you are near a power source most of the day I would also suggest you look in to a USB mod or adapter they definenatley increase the vapor and no worries on battery life - If you go the USB route which is probably the cheapest watch out for the USB adapters that go in your cig lighter in the car. I bought one and it was putting out 12 volts NOT 5 and vapped two atomizers. Measure the voltage with a voltmeter before you use it.
 
Tex, If your changeing out the batteries every "8" hours, thats not Heavy use :p

With my Pen, i have to charge/switch about every 3 hours, and top off about every
20th hit maybe?
Even the Janty KB classic i need to change out about every 3-4 hours and top off a couple times an hour. I use these like what i call an "Endless Pipe" always in my hand or pocket, and hit whenever the urge hits me, which is constantly, hehe :D

The Pen will/may last longer for you, but im sure the vapor is about the same as the 901.
From what ive read, the Bling, or cigars, dont give a lot of vapor, but last pretty well.

Sound like the 901 is doing great for you, so, if you want to get another, or stqart collecting, i would say cool, but as for looking for a better model for you? not sure you will for the same price range.

Trogs SD, would be heavy Duty, but pricey, and still uses the 901 atomizer, just more power.

I have the cigar and it does not get hot enough to give good flavor. It does give a heavy hit but the vapor is to cold.

I just saw that there is now a usb adapter for the mini (dse901) I suggest you go for that if you can handle being tethered.

The screwdriver is a good choice as well. The only difference is the button activation rather than sucking on it. The only draw back I have seen on the screw driver is the button can be activated if you have it in your pocket. A holster is needed for it. Luckily Homedepot sells screw driver leather holsters. You can also modify a knife holster to fit the length of the atomizer.
