Sounds like you want high mAh and large-capacity cartomizers/tanks, johnnybass. Personally, I was not impressed by the GoGo (I may have gotten a lemon), but I know that many do love it. I've not tried the iGo.

You may want to consider a 510/eGo-compatible device since there are so many options (atomizers, tanks, cartomizers) available for it. I'm loving my 1100 mAh SLB KGO (from Hoosier E-Cig Supply). Among other virtues, it is true 3.7V. And I prefer that it is long and relatively slender, rather than relatively short and fat (like the Go-Go). It is fully compatible with the 2-ml Type B eGo-T tanks (which are very easy to fill and taste good), which I purchased from Cignot. [The steel Type B atty on the chrome KGO looks great.] And I also use it with many other atomizers and cartomizers, including my beloved 801s (with adapter).

i have the gogo its a good pv, you have to bake your catomizers when you clean them because it has a sort of thick cloth wrapped around the tube, if i were you i would look at the infinity from notcigs it looks like a ego and is a VV.

I remove the filler with tweezers, wash, dry, re insert and you're good to go-go

Alpha Max with RES from Innovapor. I've been hitting this thin non stop for 2 days without any problems. Fill the RES, fill up a LR boge cartomizer, insert the carto into the RES and you have 3ml of juice. All mechanical. I'm loving this thing.

Alpha is pretty nice. Have a juice tank that uses attomizers instead of failomizers, and at half the cost of a GGTS+UFS.

I'm with those that think you would be best off with a bottom fed mod. I know when I switched from the Ego-T to the Reo, it was like HEAVEN................I could finally vape without the hassle of having extra stuff with me at all times when leaving the house. With The Reo, you just grab it & go! (be sure that your battery is charged, & your 6ml bottle is full). Voila.

I didn't even know if vaping would last for me honestly. I'd have to fill carts the night before work, carry around juices to top off, keep a bent up paperclip on me at all times. Vaping just sort of sucked, & it was easier for me to stop & buy a pack of smokes.

I hesitantly spent the $150 for the Reo & have never looked back. In fact i've bought 3 more Reos. (I just like owning them) & the community of Reonauts. http://reomods.com

Red Sky Mods http://redskymods.com is another great choice!! Brian's bottom feeders are wood and are gorgeous! The Mark IV was just released & works on the same principal as the Reo. If you are "handy" you can even pick up one of his pre-cut, all materials included DIY kits for $50. He will send you everything you need except the wood glue & you've got yourself a very nice 3ml bottom feeder. See photos in my gallery, of the DIY mod (Mark III) from Brian that my husband (a mechanic by trade) put together in about an hour after working 12 hours in the shop.

I'm sure there are less expensive bottom feeder mods out there, but you will not go wrong with a Reo Grand which holds 6ml of liquid & uses 1 18650 battery.

the ali'i is pretty but one have to wait 2 months for it after placing the order. thats when orders are opened. placed an order with Brian and 5 days after its shipped. Should be getting it in the next 2-3 days! :vapor:
I think that redsky besides looking nice seems to be much more sturdier than the ali'i. have you seen this video?

I'm kind of wondering exactly what you're looking for to be "trouble free". Like Chuckie said there's no such thing as trouble free. Do you mean take a while to set up and then run perfectly all day or easy to setup/fill? None of the feeder/tank systems are simple to setup and are prone to leaking. You think running out of juice is a hassle, trying finding 1.5ml of juice saturating your pocket while you're driving. Of course if you're at a desk all day a feeder is less likely to leak. I prefer the easy setup route with a roughstack v2, cr123s, cartomizer, and a 3ml bottle. If you want the low maintenance route but longer setup, get something running an 18650 and maybe a MAPtank?

I previously wrote of an XPower900 I ordered with the idea of that 'trouble free e-cig'. Not that I had big problems with the Joye Ego but the XPower900 with Cartomizers did arrive and it has taken me a step closer to an 'one-shot-all-day' solution. It's something like a bigger badder Ego in that the battery is lasting me a full day (compare to 3-4 hours with Ego) and the Cartomizers are big and lasting me about half a day. I'm heavy vaping today so for some a Cartomizer might be a full day. I suppose I can just take an extra Carto but I did pop the cap and fill it up with e-Juice. Atomizer sizzles great after full day.

For me this is (so far) the closest to a simple day-long no-muss no-fuss solution I have gotten. Like I say, its not like I was too annoyed with my Egos and dripping either. But the XPower900 is (so far) really living up to the promise and giving me that sought-after 'trouble free e-cig' in this sense.

they do have 900-1000- and 1300 mah ego batteries...900 will last all day too..1000 will last 11 hrs of heavy vaping....so, you must be referring to the 650 mah ego bats...
right?
lol. yea they don't last more then 7 hrs..tops

Yes I'm sure my Ego is the 650 and it seemed like I could average about 4 hrs. I don't mind that either. I have 4 of them and basically just alternate cycle recharges so at any given time I have 2 fully charged Egos and enough for lets say a solid 8-9 hour work day. 2 charged up by the time I'm home.
So no big complaints about that but now I realize if you can get a good 14-16 hr solution then hey its a little less to bother with I suppose.

The XPower900 is (as we all guessed im sure) the 900 battery and so far I get a full day (lets say 16 hrs) and then maybe 2 hrs into the next day. I did have one last about 12 hrs after mega-vaping like mad one day.

One thing has surprised me - the cartomizers are meant to be disposable but I'm getting long usage. Now, they boast 400 puffs each and maybe I'm a cloud hog but I'd say its closer to 150 'quality' puffs. But that is fine because I like to pop the cap and refill it with my own e-juice.
I expected stretching the life span maybe 2 days (or lets say 4 or 5 uses) but amazingly I have no less than 20 refills on a single 'disposable' cartomizer... tho I notice there is a bit of 'burnt' taste here on 21st refill heh.

and back to the OP - I'd say this is the 'no-muss-no-fuss' all-day 1-stop solution. I'd love a cartomizer that lasted a full day (for some this one might) but its like this:
wake up and screw a cartomizer on the charged Xpower900. toss a single pre-filled cartomizer in the pocket. I'm ready set done for the whole day.

*IF I feel like it I can pop a cartomizer cap and refill it with about 10 drops of e-juice or screw on the xxl atomizer and cartridges and reload those too.

I get the impression you want something cig like in size/shape, so most big mods are off. The Reo mini is probably a good option though...

I have all kinds of mods... Precious lv1, lv2, ScrewDrivers x 5, Provari, Juice Boxes, bottom feeders, GGTS/AVS, Rivas, eGos, 510 kits, etc etc... I use an eGo 650mah with eGo-T Type B atomizers/tanks during the day of work or when out, because I don't like carrying big mods or boxes (I ride a M/C), it sorta looks like a cig - so I get less questions and stares, and a 2ml cartridge lasts me half the work day. It makes great vapor, has good taste and TH IMO. I carry 1 spare battery, atty, filled cartridge, and a little 5ml bottle with me to work everyday in my pocket over the last month and a half and am still on the first atomizer of three I bought (using PG tobac flavors from LF only). It has not let me down except one time, and that was a tank leak. I switched the tank and carried on. It has the 5 click button to turn it off, which is nice for the pant pockets. Sure the batts may fail me, but I will replace them because of convenience of use. Still cheaper then smoking!!! I used to use the Bulli-Smoker A2 with great success on eGo/Rivas and then at home on my ProVari - but the flavor is lacking for some reason.

At home, I gravitate towards my GGTS/AVS w/901 @ 6v and love it... but have only taken it to work one time when I knew I was going to sit at my desk all day. I take my Lv2 to work occasionally cause it fits in my old ScrewDriver case perfectly. I have thought of getting trogg's new SDMKI he is coming out with for the Tank atomizers also (SD was my first and I am kinda sentimental about it). I used to just keep it around my neck on a lanyard, and the batts wouldn't be an issue anymore...
