When I get myself down to, just, 2 options... I flip a coin. Or get the one I like the look of better.
Replaceable battery would win out for me every time and has I only have one non replaceable battery mod an istick 50 and that is never used now as battery life is going downhill fast.
Replaceable battery of course!
Why use a device where you cannot replace the battery, that device will be useless in a short time after the battery will have a hard time keeping a charge which can happen in less than a year if you use that device a lot.

VTC...yep, because of replaceable battery.
I don't have either of the others, but I would choose the t22 because you can swap out different tanks on the battery, or different batteries for the tank. So, more versatile.
I admit I may get the aio at some point because I like smaller grab and go type devices. However, it would not be a main device, but more of a out and about device.

Using mods with built in batteries has some advantages for beginners. Keeps things simpler. Mishandling batteries with exposed terminals can create problems, or getting the wrong battery or a fake, etc. My everyday all day mod is the vtc mini but a brother of mine has been vaping almost as long as me and using an iStick 20 and an iStick 40 and getting long fine with those.
Good and valid point.
I bought my first Istick 50 w because the advise and information on mods and batteries was so confusing. I got tired of all the contradictory advice and warnings, etc. It was making the gray matter leak out of my ears.
And to the OP, if you and the husband are looking to upgrade, why not try both, one for each? That way you can figure out what you like best.
I'm doing temp control almost exclusively but I have an iStick 50 in good working order and the only reason I don't use it regularly is it doesn't do temp control. If I was using tanks I'd use it more often.
I jumped in to this forum early on and learned slowly and kept my money mostly in my pocket. I believe the best thing is keep it simple for as long as possible. I started at 8 watts and leveled off at 20 watts in power mode. Today my temp control setting is 400 degrees and 30 max watts. I try to build the highest ohm coil my vtc mini can accurately regulate, which seems to be about 1 ohm. Lower ohm coils turn energy into heat less efficiently. That's why they need more power. More power is more stress on batteries, less endurance, etc. I try to not buy another mod unless I'm very sure it will be my new favorite. There is still lots of room for improvement with mods. I try to be patient.
Well IMHO I prefer the built in batteries just so I don't have to mess with putting batteries in a charger. Back in the day my mom had those rechargeable duracells and after about three chargings the batteries would leak stuff and I'd always worry about fires. To this day it always worries me. I know that if you take care and use the right stuff in the correct way you shouldn't have a problem but you know, Murphy's Law. Plus Innokin rocks and they are always a good choice.
VTC Mini is a solid device. Removable battery plus you can charge via USB although these batteries always charge better on a stand alone charger. Much more durable than the Coolfire, plus VTC Mini hasTC if you decide you want to try Temp Control.
Wow thanks for the replies guys. I have seen some threads that the Inokkin products are solid and more reliable than the joytech counterparts. I know that Inokkin has the Cortex any comparisons to the VTC mini?
A lot of people have said that the Endura T22 is a great little unit, and I am leaning more to get that for myself, as I currently still like mouth to lung. Just still have some worries about the Complicated use with regard to TC and wattage and firmware and batteries etc with the Joytech VTC mini over the Inokkin cool fire 4 plus or the Cortex.
Thanks again

I personally prefer built in batteries they should last a year and by the time that year is up it's time to upgrade anyway and it's probably been dropped once or twice and looking a bit scruffy anyway. I have three mods that have built in batteries one 14 months old one 8 months old and one 6 weeks old and they all still work as good as the day I got them. Nothing wrong with built in batteries.
VTC Mini is a good mod with the Tron tank. Better yet is the Cuboid but it takes two batteries and does not come with a tank. Pick up a Sence Hercules which are pretty cheap and have a top mod. Perhaps your tank you already have could be used on the Cuboid and it would work out to same price as VTC. Cuboid for hubby, VTC for you is my vote. CHEERS!
I have both the CF4 and CF4 plus and would pick them due to metal build and solid as a rock. Handled the Joytech sand it felt plastic.... Yeah you can save money over time with rechargeables etc but when it comes to vaping I like to plug n play, the CF4 plus lasts ages on a full charge and don't have to buy batteries and battery charger. Plus you could drop it off a 20 storey building and it would probably still work
