I've been looking around for replacement ECHO 650mah batteries, which come 808D threaded standard. I have also been a bit curious about variable voltage batteries, but the APV models are just to large. I came across Smokeless Image's Volt line, and have become very interested in the X2-T3 clearmoizers, but I see they supposedly only work on their X2 or Spinner batteries, both of which are a bit pricey for batteries. The 650mah X2 doesn't appear to be available in an automatic, and the 650mah Spinner is actually rather long for my taste - about 110mm, much longer than a 65mm (or so) 650mah automatic ECHO battery. I like the sound of the X2-T3 clearomizers, as the X2 style (CE4) clearomizers I've tried before did not last that long with all VG juice (all I can use), and tended to leak more often than not. I've heard some folks don't like bottom coil clearomizers, but I've no experience with them yet. Having equipment that cost effectively lasts me awhile is important. Having to replace clearomizers or cartomizers that don't clean up very well every few days is not cost effective enough for me.
So, I have a few questions. Do the X2-T3 clearomizers really only work on Volt's X2 or Spinner batteries, or could they also work perfectly fine on an ECHO 808D threaded fat battery? I thought all of Volt's batteries were 808D threaded, so I don't fully understand what they are talking about as far as fit, unless they just mean cosmetically? Also, I've read mention here of Viva Nova clearomizers. What threading do those come in? Is there anyone here with experience using both the X2-T3 and the Viva Nova cearomizers that would like to share which they preferred? Anyone else have any suggestions for me that might help me with selecting equipment that will work more cost effectively with all VG juices? I've tried diluting such juices with distilled water, but have still ended up having issues, either with taste delivery, and/or equipment (other than batteries) just not lasting very long. Are there any other options I should consider?
