LOVE my 510, but...

...as we all know the battery sucks. Looking at either buying an Ego, or building a nicostick to remedy this. Any opinions?

If you love your 510 then you'll definitely love an eGo. You're likely to get 6-8 hours of battery life with the standard eGo battery, and the cone that covers the atomizer gives it a warmer vape and catches any liquid leaks.

I just got my eGo today and I have been vaping for 7 hours without loss of vapor and haven't needed a recharge yet

eGo all the way! We gone through the RN4081 SmokeStik, M401, Joye 510 but the best, in our opinion, is the eGo. Battery life is great, no leaking, and you get to keep on using your 510 attys and carts. Highly recommend!

I personally like the 3.7V boxmods from boxmods.net. They use a 14500, and actually work at 3.7V, unlike the ego which is about 3.1V. They are inexpensive (~$25), fit easily in the hand and pocket, and they have a master on-off switch for pocket carrying.

14500 batts are ~4 each, or less, and they will always be available, since they are used for all manner of electronic devices.'

Of course this does not negate the popularity of the ego, and it is a good device. But I find attys clog less and last longer with a little added voltage.

I have both the Bartleby (3.7volt box mod with usb internal charger) and the eGo/Tornado/Rivas. The box mod provide more voltage and hence more wattage on the same atomizer and it doesn't tie you to a proprietary battery. The eGo has the mega eGo atomizers and cartridges that hold 2.5ml of ejuice and can last for hours without battery charge or refill. The mega eGo atomizers don't fit on the box mod without some modification because of the design of the mega eGo atty to accomodate eGo batteries.
