I think I need to step backwards.

So I've been using a volcano inferno for the last year and I love it, but sadly the batteries aren't holding their charges as long. My problem is I've never like the feel and I want to take a step back and go with an ecig that is more analog like. And I would like suggestions on which set up to go with.

If you want to step all the way back (in size, no quality), consider the latest iteration of the Kr8, e.g., the $60 Bloog Maxx Fusion, $55 Halo G6, or $45 Smokeless Image VOLT. [All prices are for their two-battery/five (or seven)-cartomizer kits without PCC.] Choose the 65mm battery size for a 103mm super-mini analog-sized e-cig or the 78mm batt for a 116mm mini-sized e-cig. Most of the batteries are automatic (and perform flawlessly, but remember they are not sealed).

For something more cigarillo-sized, I've recently discovered the $50 Elite 808 from CigEasy. [Very recently: It arrived in yesterday's mail.] I am quite impressed and am especially wowed by the vapor this thing puts out. It's a Kr8-compatible 350 mAh (more than the above Kr8s, but less than your Inferno) manual battery (sealed, of course) and 2ml-capacity cartomizer.
