Right now I have ego 1100 passthrough batteries, with a duel carto tank and 1.5 ohm cartomizers. It works good (when I can get the batteries to charge, which is my problem). I have 4 batteries all together and it doesnt seem to be the cord, or the way it plugs in (not sure why they all give me crap with charging). Anyhow, I was looking for some opinions of batteries I can use with my tanks still. (the whole ohm and voltage stuff I absolutely do NOT understand no matter how hard I try, and I dont want to burn my cartos up). I seem to be looking for a little "more" out of my battery (maybe variable voltage?!?! Sometimes I find myself vaping the crap out of my ecig to get the feeling satisfied. Any opinions or comments are appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

I'd recommend a variable voltage eGo Spinner or Twist. You will be able to adjust the voltage (heat made by the delivery device's coil) to each individual flavor you use.
For instance, I find that fruit flavors taste best in a voltage range of 3.4 - 3.7 volts. My coffee flavors best at 4.0 - 4.5 volts. A couple of cinnamon flavors are best above 4.5 volts.
Watch the video demo of the eGo Spinner at the end of this article to see how easy it works: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...06-4-good-starters-setup-beginning-vapor.html
There's a chart known as the Safe Vaping Power Chart which is often used to help new vapors know what resistance or ohm rating delivery device to use for certain voltage ranges. The author wrote the following article on how to find your "sweet spot" with flavors. It also has the chart at the end of the article.

Yes, a 2.5 ohm or 3.0 ohm carto would allow you the widest range of voltages available for a variable voltage battery. Just stay in that "safe" green zone; its not hard to figure out. Voltages are on the left verticle column. Voltages are across the top. Draw an imaginary line between the two, and where they meet will be the wattage range that is compatible between the two.
I also recommend using a single coil cartomizer over a dual coil cart.
The Twist and Spinner are very similar. Both adjust the voltage by twisting the know on the end. The Spinner's knob is easier to read and uses clicks, the Twist us a continuous movement without clicks. The Spinner is slightly larger in diameter.
The Spinner is made by Vision; the Twist by Joytech.

To me, it really seems your main problem is the batteries.
Might I suggest a system that has replaceable batteries and charger? This way, you can always just replace the battery and/or always have a charged battery on hand.
There are dozens of styles you could chose from. and it will depend on how large a system you are comfortable with. Some can look like medium sized flashlights (maybe like a 2 battery Magnum) and some look like that little light a doctor shines in your eyes. The point being, they can have the batteries as something you put into the device and you can replace, verses the device being the battery and giving you issues.
And you wouldn't/shouldn't have to change your current dual carto tank and 1.5 ohm cartomizers..

Your battery or a spinner wont handle a dual coil it will ether blink and not work, run you battery down very quickly, or fry your switch or board. Ive done it way back when when I used ego stye bats.
Thanks for these links this helped me out too.

Commentary: For what it's worth, here is my vaping progression thus far.
First Device: Halo G6 cigalike kit. Works pretty well, battery life was very good especially for such a small one. Found out I didn't like plain cartos much to use. Cut my smoking in half, easily, without even trying. Found myself looking for that 'something more' though.
Second Device: 900mAh eGo Twist kit. Variable voltage was nice, really brought the flavor out of some juices more at a higher setting as Baditude mentioned. It was still smallish and I really, really liked the way the flavors came through on the clearomizers that came with it. Cut my smoking by at least 80% easily. I did, however, easily break one of my eGo batts while I was at my brother's house for the weekend. Decided to take one more step up so far.
Third Device: VAMO V2. Variable voltage/wattage. 18650 batteries that last me nearly 2 days per charge. Much bigger than the Twist and heavier but that didn't bother me, I actually like the solidity of it. Since I got the VAMO, smoking has been non-existent except for one pack I bought when I was dealing with some stressful stuff....but I also found out that the analogs weren't as satisfying as I was expecting they would have been. Back to VAMO usage and carto tanks happily, though I am going to try the Kanger ProTank and maybe the iClear30 out of curiosity to see how I like those.
So over more than a month now, I've bought a total of 4 packs of cigarettes. Normally during this time I would have probably purchased a carton a week = 50 packs.
Depending on your smoking habit, I'd probably recommend stepping up to one of the more advanced mods if you're looking for that bit more. I liked the eGo Twist and still have my other battery as a backup/occasional use, but I didn't like the fragility of it. I do like the more sturdy mods which are often made out of metal.

Buzzzlove explained it well. A dual coil cartomizer has two heating coils to power instead of just one, thus will require twice the battery power. The end result does not benefit the expense in battery power in any better performance than a single coil in most vapor's experience. Dual coil carts perform best when provided at least 4.5 volts and the amp draw is too much for eGo batteries over time.
What I just said is theoretically not true, but in real life experience it is.
I've even used dual coil carts on PV's that were powerful enough to power them, and I didn't care for them. They often had a burnt taste to them after a short use and I found their vapor to be more on the harsh side (warmer vapor). I prefer the cooler and smoother vape of a single coil carto. And although users of dual coils may argue that they don't require any more power than single coils, most vapors who have used both will disagree with them.
