Need long lasting PV

[Jackal3]

So, I'm looking for a PV with the most bang for the buck. I'm heading out camping and I need a PV that will last me a long time (days?) of heavy vaping. Something with as high an mah as possible, but that doesn't look like I'm smoking a muffler.

I've debated the mega ego, the Hello -016, the Omega, and other units. I'm currently using the KR808D-1 XL batteries and cartos, so something I can put an adapter on and continue using them would be cool. Otherwise, I don't mind getting a handful of 510 cartos either. I'd also like something I can learn to drip from, instead of cartos.

In summary, I need something with high mah batts, versatile enough to do cartos or drip w/LR attys, and something that doesn't make me look too obnoxious.

I should also add... I am not a rich man... lol. So if I can get a starter kit and extra parts for $100 I'd be happy.

Hi jackal. The hello 016 has the highest mAh of the models you mentioned but to get a battery that will last a couple days all you can do is get a large battery mod that uses a 18650 battery (2400 mAh) and charge up a few to take with you.
If you go with the hello (1300 mAh) you're going to need several batteries charged to last several days. That's going to get expensive at $25.00 a piece.

I'm not totally against a mod, or similar like the Omega. But I'm wondering if there's something slimmer that might use a 2400mah batt.

I think you need a mod buddy. I have a Buzz, but only get about 11 hours (880-mAh stacked) off the batteries (about $10 a pair).

You may also want to look into solar chargers, battery packs, and USB passtrhu's...

the 18650 batteries in that mah range are pretty big all by themselves, but they definitely last! The slimmest thing i know of that uses it is The Precious - L - The Precious, really nice looking, but a little spendy, perhaps. It's gotten great reviews here.

 

[Jackal3]

wow.. yeah the Precious is a little out of my range (ok, a lot). Nice piece though.

You can charge your KR808 batts several times with this:
Kensington Portable Power Pack

The chuck is always an option. Probably indestructable. and fairly inexpensive you could get a full setup for $100.

Are you willing/capable of building one?
Check out Conman's Eclipse Mint box mod for an 18650. I think Shortstuff posted pictures of one too.

 

[Jackal3]

Geeker, thanks, I was wondering why the PCC for the KR808 is 200mah (not very good for the XL batts.) That one is 1500 mah.

Lumiere, do you have a link to this "chuck"?

Would a car charger work?

 

[Jackal3]

Nope, car is parked about a 1/2 mile from camp. I'll be there 2 weeks with minimal electricity to charge.

I found a mod site listing all kinds of mods, makers, prices, battery options, etc.

Can I post that link here?

 

[johnnybgdg]

Half mile hike once or twice a day be good for ya. lol
Glad you have a solution and have fun camping
Keep Vaping

THAG BUILT: A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing! It's pretty popular here a lot of people link them in their sigs and avatars. Oh ya and he does custom graphics it's pretty cool.

I think the cheapest solution would be 2 hello batts from litecigusa. hello 016 Manual Switch Battery $18 ea shipped. charger is $8 you can use 510 cartos on it and forget about the hello cone atty.

RE the kensington chargers, i have one and find it very handy for camping. the ones below look interesting too, though. two of them might get you through two weeks, depending on how many charged kr8 batts you go in with.

My eGo mega came today and I've been puffing away on the same battery for 8 hours. I got the 1000mAh batteries from TW. They were the highest mAh megas I could find for the ego.

You could get a 510 to 901/808 vented adapter and keep using your 808 cartos. Good Prophets sells them for $3.49 a piece.
