Hi and welcome!
I'm understanding correctly that you have only vaped a standard eGo, not variable voltage?

hmmm... coming from ego, first post, asking about advanced...
IDK, but i would think roughly half of the links in this forum would answer your question.
you might want to be more specific or try using that handy Search thingy, somewhere near the top right of your screen

but since i can't sleep, you'll most likely be recommended:
a) twist
b) spinner
c) both http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm (the most frequently recommended APV kit)
d) Vamo or SVD, or ZMax or MVP
e) more expensive stuff
i may have forgotten a few, but that's a decent list to research
cheers

Hi and yes I've only used a standard ego not the variable voltage one
Thanks for your recommendation greatly appreciated of where I should start off. but I'm new to the site although I've been using an ego vape for more than a year already and I was fascinated by it for quite some time now and I got interested when i was with my friends at a vape lounge and the vapes they used were incredible.
Check this out. No mess, no mas rebuilding. Juice up, vape and go.

I recently moved to rebuildables and I learned a bunch of stuff from this site as well as fellow vapers in my area, but thats a different story. My suggestion, maybe do a vv/vw mod like the vamo or provari if you want to spend a little more $$. Slap a protank, t3, or evod on that thing and you're golden.

dwallen's got the list down. Twists and Spinners are a good way to test the waters of variable voltage and the kit he linked to is currently the best bang for your buck, since it has authentic Joyetech, Vision and Kanger products.
The next recommendation you will get will be for more advanced mods (as he listed as well), most likely directly from China, which is less expensive, but it takes a couple of weeks for it to arrive.
sounds to me like the OP is looking for something that doesn't look like an ego....(sometimes it IS about cool kid looks )
aznsamurai82 do you have a budget in mind?
if it were me i'd research the following (in no particular order) and go from there :
itaste SVD
sigelei Zmax or Zmax mini
Vamo
eVic
Tesla
there are more out there but i think that is a good starting point...you might love or hate how any of them look and then you can narrow it down from there based on budget and reviews/bugs/features

Like all the other posters are saying, do some research, watch some reviews, and do some price comparing. You're going to find things in each mod that you like and things you dont like. Choose one that has the most features in which you like and base your future purchases off of that.
If you are looking to step up from an eGo battery, here is my suggestion:
Look around various retailers, find something that LOOKS cool to you, watch some reviews to make sure it isn't a POS, and then buy it.
If the only thing you have ever used is a fixed voltage eGo, then the million differences between various devices aren't going to mean anything to you yet. Once you try out various devices then you'll begin to form an idea of what you are really looking for in a device.

I can tell you I wish I had started with a variable wattage PV from day one. A lot of folks seem to discourage newer vapers from starting with an "advanced" device, but I view variable wattage almost like the automatic transmission in a car. It doesn't take very long to figure what wattage range you like and what works. Just gives a better and more satisfying vape all around.
Once you decide you like vaping, get a VW "advanced" mod. Once you learn the relationship between volts and ohms to determine power (watts) and how much a particular setup can take without burning the juice, you're ready enough for a mech.

I see a lot of that too, and I don't understand it either. If a person can grasp the concept of a volume knob on their radio, they should be able to operate a variable device without issue. Want more power? Turn it (doesn't matter voltage or wattage) up. Too much TH or the vape too hot? Turn it down. Simple stuff, right?
I can understand the idea of starting new vapers out slowly so they don't get overwhelmed, but if a person decides to stick with vaping for the long term, and they like the idea of more run time and higher power, there really is no reason for people to persuade them against getting an APV. When I think of my progression (Cigalikes-eGos-APVs-Mechs&RBAs) I wish I would have skipped straight to mechs and rebuildables. Before I got into mechs and RBAs I wish I would have skipped straight to APVs. And when I was using eGos I wish I would have skipped straight to them.
But I definitely don't regret all the time I had with those devices. If nothing else, you can't really appreciate a nice APV or a nice RBA on a mech until you've gone through a year or two dealing with cigalikes and eGos, if you know what I mean. Plus going through the standard "Vaper evolution" leaves you with quite a bit of old kit that serves the purpose of redundant backups, and stuff to give away to friends/family to get them into vaping. And I still use cigalikes and eGos on occasion, so I'm glad I have them kicking around.
I was in the same boat as you, sooo much info out there and its hard to know where to get started! Now I'm not into modding or making my own parts (I'm not tech savy enough for that) but what I did was use the search bar on ECF for what ever question I had and presto! I had my answer! Thats how i learned to make my own e-juices. As far as devices go, you need to first come up with a $ budget, and my advice is go bigger batteries, vv batteries, and tanks that are bottom fed coils. Just make sure what ever you buy IS compattable or at least get an adapter so your parts will fit. That was my hardest thing to learn! I'd anxiously await my new e-cig parts in the mail just to find out that they do'nt fit! Me personally, go with 510 threaded products, they are the most prominent and user friendly. oh and Kangertech all the way on tanks, you won't be dissapointed.

I agree. What I forgot to say was that the best way to stick with it is to have something that's satisfying. As you point out, the new generation of APV's are about as complicated as a volume knob but definitely increase the odds of being able to stick with it and quit smoking because they just perform so darn well.
So far I understand that there several types of mods such as vv,vw,pv,mechanicals,rba,rda,apv that are customizable for some and that there are different types of atomizers,clearomizers,tanks that are customizeable as well. And that I have to know about ohms and wattages.
But I want this post to also help newcomers that are interested in moving on to advanced vaping as well.
