When you say something that will match with the Stardust, do you mean a new battery that will work with the Stardust, or do you mean a different type of tank that will match the performance of the Stardust?

If you mean a new battery, and you want to stick with 3.7v and not bother with variable voltage, I'd suggest the Smoktech Bolt with extension ring and 18650s. It's an inexpensive APV (usually around 30 bucks or so) it's very simple, elegant, and with 18650s (or even 18500s that it uses without the extension ring) it will provide you with a whole day of vaping without re-charging. Get two batteries, that way you can put a fresh battery in each morning, and vape all day while the other battery is charging (not that it takes all day to charge- it doesn't)

    I picked one of these up the other day (like I needed another mod like I needed another hole in the head), but I wanted to see if the new L-Rider switch regulator worked as well as I was being told that it does. Gotta say that I was pleasantly surprised. This little thing kicks the Twist type PV's to the curb.

    Like uncle chuck said we need a bit more info, are you wanting to stay with the 510 size/style? then there isnt too much available or are you wanting to move up in battery size? if you move up there re alot of options from basic (ego twist style) that are not too much larger(twist is about as fat as a sharpie marker) to very advanced battery units that hold replaceable batteries but last well over a day.

    Thanks for the infos, guys. Yes, I am sick of 501 batteries and would like to try something different. Something you can fill with standard batteries (e.g: AA) and still carrying a Stardust or others 501-plug devices. Appreciate you help!

    I don't think there are any mods that run on 'regular batteries' as far as I can tell they are Li-ion across the board. However, I recently purchased an L-rider robust mod and I love it, it is about the size of an ego just a little bit longer but it takes a 14500 Li-ion rechargeable battery. The battery is close in size to a AA and they are about $3 a piece. I believe a stardust will fit. It's variable voltage which is very nice it allows you to find the sweet spot for your throat hit/taste preferences and it's relatively inexpensive. I bought mine @ e-Smokey Treats, the most trusted name in electronic cigarettes and accessories. It's very simple to use and it has the functionality of the larger mods like the lambo tube and such.

    well then, the next step is deciding how far you want to go, there arent too many choices for smaller reusable units, if you want to stay smallish the ego twist or vision spinner is an excellent choice while disposable like the 510 batt they have much more life and power, even though they are in the end disposables a few in rotation should last a good long time, well over 6-8 months.

    the next step up is what is called a 'MOD' and has replacable batteries, while mod prices are usually determined by feature set and build quality the batts are def wider then an aa type, but the batts are 9-10 bucks and last a year or more when in rotation.

    you have to decide first:
    1,do I want something a little less noticeable and smaller? but in the end still disposable
    or
    2, do i want something I can have for a while and just buy perishables and consumables. but will def be bigger and slightly more cost now.

    in the end there is no cheap way out in this game it's pay now or pay later.
    you can get a spinner battery for about 25 (sharpie size) or get a bolt mod (about the size of a roll of quartets but replaceable batteries for a little more, and there are 100 steps after that so think about what your looking for and keep askin questions :)

    What is using this guy at 5:00?
    ViVi Nova Tank V2 www.facil-ecig.com - YouTube

    A vv gripper. Looks like an Ovale Gripper.
    Seriously there are so many devices that you can use a stardust with that you need to give some ideas of what you what - what size, how much to spend. There are devices from around $20 or less to over $200.

    And you are in Europe, right? So do you want to buy from Europe, or the UK, or don't mind from USA?

    List of UK vendors here: ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK - E-cigarette/E-liquid Vendors List + discount codes

    Knock yourself out.

    Best option would be from EU/UK but if the US device was totally better (for my needs) from US as well.

    lol all those infos to get redirected to shops list -.-
    I want to check the shops but I don't know the general name of the device I am looking for.
    Onto which section must I seek?
