I have been vaping with a 510 for about a month and a half and am thinking about something new. I like the TH and vapor from the 510 but the atty seems to get hot fast, the batteries don't last that long, and it seems like I am constantly topping off the cart. The ptb cart filler helped a little. I am thinking about making a box mod or buying a janty stick. I was wondering how the JS is with the classic atty? I think that I have read that it is the same atty as the dse801. Anyway, I am not sure which way to turn at this point but would be thankful for some advice.
The problem I have with the high voltage models is the price. I have already spent quite a bit on the 510's and accessories that I have and have a really hard time spending another $150 on a new kit that I don't know for sure if I will like. However, Thank you very much for the info
hittman, you've already been given a lot of really good advice. IMO, if you have the ability to, I think you should try your hand at battery mods (like the box mod). This will allow you to try your 510 at both standard 3.7 voltage (since you're already happy with the throat hit and vapor production) as well as trying a high voltage version to see if you like higher voltage with very small expenses and a lot of personal satisfaction at building your own battery mod. You can use this as an inexpensive way to determine whether you are good at the current 3.7 volts or whether you need higher voltage. Once you've determined that, you will be in a better position to consider some of the aftermarket battery mods that are out there. Unfortunately, this will not satisfy your issue with having to constantly top off your atty. As previously suggested, the best way to resolve this would be to try the 810 atomizer due to the large size of it's cartridge. However, to get similar levels of throat hit and vapor production, you will probably need to run the 801 atomizer at a "high voltage" versus the standard 3.7 volts.
I would suggest you do a little comparison. You are spending $12-$20 on batteries for your small device. You will be spending $2 for batteries on a premiere device and the batteries last 3-4 times longer than the small batteries. Over time, the premiere devices pay for themselves. Plus when there is a ban, at least you will never have to worry about stocking up on batteries.
The only thing to keep in mind w/ this concept is that the savings is indeed a long term savings. If an average vaper goes through 4 x 510 batteries per day or 1 x 880maH with both having a minimum capability of 500 recharge cycles, you would spend (according to the high side of your quote) $80 for the 510 batteries or $2 for the 880maH battery plus the cost ($150 average) for the high end battery mods for an expenditure of $152 (and really, such a person would have extra batteries, so you would probably want to add a few more dollars to that number). Therefore, you would not see the savings benefit until after 1 1/2 years. Just want to keep that in perspective. However, like I said previously....a good idea would be for the OP to try his hand at some of the battery mods vice just shelling out the money for the high-priced battery mods. This would be kind of a happy medium between wv2win's thoughts and mine.
