I'll be sure to look into some more research. I kind of like the Geekvape ones that keep being mentioned. The idea of it being a little more durable is nice. Now just to see what tank/coil combinations will produce good flavor.... lol

The Jackaroo is interesting and nice to see the Aegis receive some healthy competition with a rugged mod. But personally I’d wait to see if it’s performance is improved upon with a Firmware update. DJLsb reported it reads resistance higher than norm, and it is under powered in relation to what the user sets as their power output.
@VM-Lady - I 2nd or 3rd the recommendations given to you already for the Aegis mods mentioned. They've got a terrific reputation for durability and being a true, quality mod. The price point for them is very reasonable, too, IMO...especially when compared to other mods of lower quality and durability, yet they cost about the same and/or sometimes even more than an Aegis. 
And Geekvape has issues with temperature control, and no mention of a fixed firmware. At least Vandy Vape can do temperature control reasonably, and no doubt a newer firmware will come available that will resolve a few bugs.
But the Jackaroo also allows you to set your own resistance, which can be useful though. Not many mods have that as an option.
And of course, DJLsb's review.

I don't think anyone has mentioned yet that you would be wise to get two mods, so that, if one goes, you have a backup and won't be tempted to smoke instead.
The single-battery Aegis takes either an 18650 or a 26650. I have no experience with the latter and I believe Mooch doesn't endorse any of them, but plenty of people use them, and you'd get more vaping time out of one. Some or several here will advise you on which to get if you decide you want to try them out.

Agree. I charge all my 18650's at 1A. 2A seems a little radical when you won't need that cell until a day or two later. I don't like for my cells to heat up when charging or when vaping.

TC is used by very little in comparison and Geekvape has made several FW improvements. And there is nothing that states a company will make any kind of attempt at correcting bugs so that assumption should not be made. Would you purchase the Jackaroo in its current buggy state? I certainly would not and am thankful for objective reviewers such as DJLsb who is able to display such flaws with a product. Now should VV release a FW update for the Jackaroo correcting these bugs then my opinion may just change. But I will wait to see if that happens.
@Mordacai -
Just wondering why many times, when others recommend something different than what you've proposed...it seems to irritate you. Maybe you view it as some sort of competition, to convince someone to buy what you've recommended over what others have? Instead of just pointing out why you support your recommendations, you find something to knock about theirs.
Everyone has their own opinions and recommendations based on them. My own are because of personal experience with whatever I recommended, or agreed with others in recommending. Doesn't make mine or yours any better or worse than those of others. The buyer will decide in the longrun anyway...which to get.

Just to add, the Aegis Kit, that comes with a subohm tank, also includes a 20700 and 21700 battery adaptor giving this device 4 different types of batteries to choose from. This adaptor is not included if the mod was purchased on it own but can be purchased separately for only a few bucks!
Aargh, paying the shipping would boost the price by more than 50 percent. Still only $10.74, but it's the principle of the thing, damn it.
That's what I'm saying - I have a few "un-smart" chargers around in the garage. Got a few high output power supplies, a few cables, and a sled or 3, with some spring loaded connections on them - you can bet your bottom dollar I could charge my 18650's, 26650's, and 21700's off of them pretty fast. The biggest reason I don't use them, is that there's no cut off on them. They will charge at 100V @ 50A regardless of what the batteries are capable of handling. Just like there are plenty of battery chargers that are built without circuitry in them that tells the charger to STOP charging at a specified voltage limit. And some chargers are completely "open source" like mine are and are built to revitalize over-drained systems and packs or used to power sub-systems like machinery, switches, etc.
The problem is pushing that kind of current to anything at any level can have destructive consequences. That's why I originally made the post. We talk about going over the limits of what we're drawing from our batteries, and I'm saying, just as you wouldn't test fate with trying to go over the limits of using your batteries, you also shouldn't just drop your batteries into any old charger.
That's why I posted the links to the batteries, chargers, and battery cases. Because I know Nitecore chargers. I use them, and when I'm feeling frisky, I also test my battery voltages with my Fluke multimeter afterwards.
Never disagreed JCinFLA, just don't like folks choice picking information and exploiting it.
As I did say earlier in the thread that either would suit OP's needs.

If you feel that I exploited information, let me ask if you would not think it is important information to know that a device may output up to 30+% less than what a user has it set for? I understand and accept these are not the most accurate of devices, but those are some significant deficiencies.
That is not exploiting information, that is informing users about the facts who may not be the wiser to pick up on such flaws.
Yet you didn't mention the Temperature Control issue that Geekvape mods suffer from, that hasn't been resolved.
