Ok, I looked at the different ecigs available and am still somewhat confused. I am searching for an Upgrade from an KR808 due to constant charging and refilling. I looked into the Riva,the Ego, and some mods that had been recommended.

I understand the increased battery life, but what about the refilling? I would rather have something that looks more like the Riva and would solve the constant refills. I did look at the mods, but don't really want something that looks like a box with a straw or a tube with a straw sticking out the end. Is there an option for the Riva that will hold more liquid? I'm awfully tired of filling those cartos all the time and am still somewhat confused to what options are available. Many thanks for those willing to lead the blind :)

First, the e-Power provides you the same or better performance as an eGo or Riva but only cost you $4 for batteries instead of $16 for batteries and the batteries easily last twice as long. I would check out the E-Power.

On the refilling issue, the suggestion of a mega dual coil carto is a good one with less filling needs.

eGo 1100 mAh 2 battery kit this vendor sells the epower but also the kgo. My husband had the 808 for a bit before we upgraded to the kgo. The batteries last us a few days each. and you can stick on a huge carto that holds lots of goodness for all day awesome vaping.

Brent at hoosier is a really awesome guy too quick shipping good prices and AMAZING customer service

I second this suggestion. Also the echo. it's basically a huge 808 with a cartomizer that holds roughly 3ml of juice. You can get it either auto or manual. I just got my kit yesterday. I got the auto bats and let me tell you. Best automatic battery I have ever used, hands down. I haven't had to recharge the battery yet since its initial charge yesterday, nor have I had to refill the cartomizer.. And I'm a heavy vaper! And did I mention it still hits like a champ? And it's only like $40. it sounds like this is what you're looking for. Check it out.

Personally, I've become a big fan of generic batteries. The epower has already been mentioned but, consider the roughstack as well.

I agree. I don't see the rationale in spending 3-4 times more money on batteries that don't last nearly as long and are proprietary.

Throw in my vote for the eGo MDC cartomizers. The eGo-T 1000mah battery is nice but I have started using my cartos on a Buzz Pro. New set of batteries is going to cost about $9 if I need them. I got a 510 to eGo adapter and these cartos look pretty nice sitting on the end of the BP. I get the same hit before the batteries need charging as I get on newly charged batteries. Seems to be lasting about five hours or so set at 3.7V.

I don't know how they work but there are also MAP and ARRY tanks which I think use the guts of a CE2 cartomizer but in a handmade wider tank cut from a syringe or bottle or other cylinder.

And if you get a Riva get it at Liberty-Flights.com - they have the latest model which is a bit higher voltage. Press the 20% off upper left front page. That will lower the shown prices. Then the Riva Lite Bundle is under $30

hmmm...sounds like you need a box or tube with a straw sticking out the end...but...any thing that take a 18650 batt 2500mah will last a few days...also check into diff tank systems or XL cartos if you don't want a bottom feeder.

Lol, I did not know how to explain that mod, but thats what they look like to me :)

Could you explain the tank process? How do they connect? Thanks!

Here are a couple of my tanks. They work great. All you do is insert a slotted or dotted carto fill and vape. They hold so much juice. You just buy whatever carto you like best. You can slot or dot them yourself.
