Is this mod more than I can deal with?

I mean one that uses replaceable batteries. Someone has convinced me to not mess with internal battery (but I still like the mod I mentioned very much)

Internal batteries have their points. They’re simpler to deal with and no charger is needed. Removable batteries have three and a half advantages
1: instant charging. You can swap out your batteries in seconds and keep going and the others charge while you are vaping.
2: batteries wear out after about a year. You can simply replace the battery and keep using the mod unless it wears out
2.5: microUSB2 is fragile and wears quickly and if you break your charging port the device is dead. There are devices that have USBC though, so it can be avoided.
3: removable battery mods can reach higher voltages more easily than internal battery mods so if you vape at high wattages there’s really no other choice.

There are disadvantages though:
1: removable battery mods tend to be larger for a given power and have a minimum size to begin with
2: removable batteries, in particular their wraps, are fragile and need care.
3: chargers aren’t free.

It all depends on what you want. IF you buy a mod that is going to last you more than a year removable batteries are a clear financial win.

So there are some questions:
do you want to vape above about 30w? Removable
Do you want to buy a high quality mod and vape it for over a year?: removable
Do you want a mod small enough you can hold it in your teeth and vape no handed?: internal
Do you want a tiny mod?: internal
Do you not want to deal with carrying batteries or having a charger?: internal

bombastinator, thank you for the very sensible advice. I do keep changing my mind... I can get a great deal on a very good mod with removable batteries, but might not be able to afford the batteries for weeks. I have no dependable income... just odd jobs here and there. I panic... (have no back-up device, but have extra tanks/coils) I do have lots of juice (including DIY) just if I drop my setup I will have no way to vape all that juice! I need another mod (any mod) now. Internal battery might be better for now.

OK, all better... getting a little pod device soon so I can relax and make a better decision (got a Moti for $1 plus $3.22 shipping)
I know I need a mod that takes replaceable battery... I just sort of fell in love with that Vaporesso once I realized it was user friendly. OBS Cube is also so cool, but my sensible side knows the Aegis Solo is my best option.
