wow...didnt expect such a great response to my frustration! Now its gonna take me awhile to absorb all these suggestions but thanks a lot folks!
As to Evods I have tried them. As with others they're great when they work....but I've found that ( and I have 6 or 7 workable EGO batteries, standard, non adjustable ) the Evods dont work on some of my batteries. I think its a matter of the center post in some not contacting.
See the Mrs and I are heavy vapers...my daughter a little less. Wife and I use only one
juice, our own blend from Mt Baker...daughter another ONE juice.
I'm getting a bit lazier as the yrs go by

Give me as little hassles as possible in my
vaping life thanks.
Also I dont know if they were poorly made but the cheap EGO's I bought from
fasttech the tops are coming apart , losing the buttons because the protank " is so heavy "???? Can you buy buttons?
