I have Magmas for outright public use, love them. I have Infernos for other times, and I'm getting frustrated with the lack of life, especially in my older batteries, which is to be expected. I'd get more, because I like the size, weight and shape, but knowing I'm going to end right back where I am... no thanks.

if I'm going to put the money into a different type/style that will last a lot longer than 1-4 hours, what would you suggest? (uncontrollable chain vaper!)

there are so many options now.. I'm not sure about the VV types, so I was looking at this BOLT: SMOKtech Oxidized Aluminum BOLT Anodized w/ Extension - RED [gv-SMOKOxidizedBOLT-RED] - $38.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

it's longer and fatter around than I'm used to... and I'm concerned that my Sapphires and V-Nanos (that I love so much) might not be appropriate, so what kind of bottom-coil tank to go with? will this new tank work with my Infernos too?

also looked into the palm-sized mods like the Gripper: SMOKtech Gripper VV 3.0-6.0 18650 Variable 510 OLED [gv-SMOKtechGripperVV] - $42.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

price is an issue- I can't (easily) justify spending over $45 without batteries included.

help?! please...

I am not familiar with any of the delivery devices you use, so if this advice is irrelevant I apologize, but the Vision Spinner works beautifully with T3 bottom coil clearos, has very good battery life, and is in my opinion an excellent choice. I rotate three battery devices; two of them are these Vision Spinners and my other is a Vamo. I got the stainless steel version but I imagine that the voltage markings would be easier to see if I'd gotten any of the other, non-shiny colors. Still, with a pair of reading glasses on, the markings are clear. I can't overstate how happy I am with these. I get every bit as good a vape as I do with my Vamo. Plus, for $25, plus shipping, you come in under budget.

You can spend $45 just on the 3 batteries and a Good charger that you'll need. Or more. You say that you're an uncontrollable chain vaper? Does that mean you're spending a bundle just on juice? Maybe you can learn to DIY your juice to afford good mods?

my ADV is DIY. perhaps misleading- I chain vape when I'm home or in the car- can't do it at work.. have the ability to go through about 35ml per week max now that I'm off analogs for good. can probably cut that back a bit...

for what I "need" the BOLT fits, with no adapters needed for my beloved BCCs. I understand the usage of VV/VW, but I don't think its necessary for me. and I can get the exact batteries (2ct) with changer included on amazon for $11 with free ship.

was putting feelers out- been looking for days and getting frustrated by all the choices. appreciating the suggestions.

Well if you're on a budget and just want a 3.7 volt tube mod, madvapes has all of their plastic bolts on sale for $12. You could get 3 different colors depending on how you feel that day. Personally I think you should get an iTaste MVP. It has great battery life (2 full days on one charge) and if you don't care about VV then set it at 3.7 and forget it. It costs a little more, but well worth it IMO.
