Is it worth upgrading a battery the way I vape

I vape with an aerotank and standard 510 battery (non adjustable voltage). I use 75/25 e juice, I like pg the throat hit is nice and the thinner liquid seems easier on the coils. With a thinner liquid I know it's better to vape low voltage, I feel the stock battery has the right amount of voltage and lasts long enough for me. So would it even be worth upgrading?

Maybe just to a good eGo vv device. Liquids taste different at different temperatures, each one has its own sweet spot. Being able to control the voltage opens you up to different options. You could find that flavors you didn't like before suddenly taste pretty good at a higher voltage setting than your current battery can output. In fact, at higher settings you might start noticing new flavors in the juice you already think tastes great.

But if what you have works great for you I would say keep on truckin' with it. Eventually though you will have to buy a replacement battery which would be a logical time to really consider getting a more powerful setup.

A little warning though, I spent the first 2/3 of my vaping tenure using regular ego batteries and once I got my first Spinner I started steamrolling through upgrades, but that's just me :D

IMO it's only an upgrade if you appreciate the added features. If you don't it's wasted money :)

If you're happy, you're happy.

But even staying in that form factor, a Spinner or two would give you some flexibility. Factory coils aren't always the value marked, and sometimes you can't find the value you want. VV would let you adjust to taste. (And, as mentioned, some flavors taste better at different settings, so you can adjust for that as well.)

Thanks everyone, I guess I sometimes think about getting a vv. I checked out the e power 2 mod seems like a good value. Also spinners and ego of course I don't want to spend a lot. I just worry I will end up using the same watts. But my birthday and Christmas is coming and my wife wants to know what I want. For her birthday she
wants a good purse (we are both December b days) so why not treat myself too. It's that one time of year I don't have to justify and explain a purchase for myself with four kids they get what they need first then her then me (the totem pole of family gotta love it)
