I currently have a 808 Halo G6 kit and a couple of extra Bloog batteries. I've been thinking about steping up to a big battery 808 kit but the choices are overwhelming. It has to be auto battery.... Any suggestions?

I saw you already found Echo (on the Echo thread) ;) Beside that another option will be Volt X2.

The choices are not that overwhelming actually, it's just the seller named them differently!

I haven't bought an echo yet but thats what I'm leaning towards. I keep coming across auto battery Igo (which are suppose to be manual only) and vgo's. I'm really just trying to figure out what the differences are.

Beside mAH (650, 900, 1100, 1300), the main differences is regulated voltage or not. Some like it regulated (Volt X2), some like it unregulated (most Echo except some version - I think most igo/vgo is regulated, CMIIW).

Regulated maintain 3.6-3.8V during its battery life while unregulated start from around 4.2V and wind down to 3.6-3.8V during its battery life and going down to 3.4-3.5V before it died. Which one is better, it's your call :)
 
Normally I say that a battery is just a battery, some are better than others of course depending on what you want to do with it.
What device you attach can make a big difference also.
I started off with a variable volt batt. I used my V4L & KGO batts exclusively for 2 weeks just to see if I would really miss my VVPV. At first it wasn't a big issue, but as time went by, I really missed being able to dial the juice to taste.
I will never be without a VVPV as I have 3 Lavatubes now and a ProVari in my near future.

The wife has put her V4L batts back in the box, I think she wants to give them to a friend.
She has been happy with the vapor time from her larger batt, but I think she would look good sporting a iTaste ;)

I agree about the battery. It's just power until you get into VV mods but I'm a broken record as far as Skelley's point about batteries being the lowest part of the equation as far as vaping enjoyment.

However, as someone who has been in your shoes and wanted the same thing you do now, the echo will be familiar and easy to use compared to what you have been using. It's very light weight for a big battery. The new player in the market is the auto Igo IGO Electronic Cigarette Kit - Complete - from VFast

The theory is that it's exactly the same as the echo, just purchased directly from the manufacturer and not Hangsen which brings us the echo brand. The only difference is it comes in a 900mah. The echos come in 650, 1100, and 1300 mah.

The auto igo is also led vs the echos which have all switched over to stealth (metal end cap vs a light at the end). Keep that in mind.
