Hi everyone, I quit smoking analogs 3 months ago and started using the mistic e-cigs. I learned to open the cartos and fill them with juice (my favorite is cinnamon, but once in a while I do menthol from pinkspot). I am ready to upgrade my e-cig. What I am looking for is an e-cig with a battery that can last at least as long as the mistics (they last just about all day and I am a chain vaper lol), It would be a huge plus if the e-cig doesn't resemble a cigarette, and one where I can easily order blank cartos. I really like the cinnamon flavor but would love to be able to experience a nice clean taste (even after washing the mistic cartos it just isn't the same). I am not worried about the cost. Not sure if I am supposed to post this here but I guess since it's my first post I have to. Thank you all for your help.

Everyone has their favorites. You said price is not a consideration, so that opens up the possibilities quite a bit for you. My first PV that wasn't a cigarette lookalike was the Provari. That could be something to look into. I just picked my wife up a Reo Mini for my wife's mother's day present. She is thrilled with it. I'm sure many knowledgeable folks will chime in momentarily if they haven't already!

I agree that if you have no price limit, the Provari might be a good choice as well. You should do some researching on variable voltage PV's and decide if that is something you would be interested in.

In order of cost Lava tube, Rio or Provari. I don't have that Lava Tube but I think a lot of people like them. I have the Rio and the Provari. The Provari can do everything but the dishes and the Rio is great for out and about or even in the pool. I would just go straight to the top if I were you but that's just me. Just do lots of research before you buy.

I'd look at the E-power over the Ego. It has a larger battery (though they now make larger Ego batteries as well) and fires at 3.7, rather than 3.3. The best thing though is that the battery is in 3 parts: the 14650 battery, the switch and the case. This means when the battery goes, you can replace it for around $5 as opposed to the $20 for the Ego. Same with the switch. And it looks nothing like a cig, lol. Here's a link to the one I'd get:

I just checked them out and thanks for replying, but I guess I need to be more specific. I am not exactly looking for a mod. When I said one that doesn't look like an cigarette I meant in coloring. I am looking for something that can easily blend in with the pens I carry in my pocket at work ;).

In that case, you can forget the Provari or Lavatube or Silver Bullet.
The best bet would be a kGo or the 14650 sized e-Power. Either of them is better than an eGo. The kGo is slightly less bulky than the e-Power, but neither of them is anything near the size of a Provari or Lavatube.

The e-Power is probably better, for the reasons Reidus stated. But the kGo is an excellent all-round e-cig that's about the size of a Sharpie Marker pen. The battery is 1100mah and will last for 9 or 10 hours before it gets as weak as an eGo is when it's hot off the charger.
Here's the kGo:

Also, if you're looking for the cleanest taste, you don't want a cartomizer with filler in it. You want a Clearomizer with no filler to muck up the taste. A lot of clearomizers crack with cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon is death to the hard plastic.
Here is a clearomizer that will give you the purest taste possible, and it's made with a plastic that won't crack on you.
Use this instead of a cartomizer and you'll be in cinnamon nirvana.
It's made to fit both a kGo and eGo and hold enough to last an average vaper most of the day.

Sailorman, I like the idea of the kgo, the kit comes with prefilled cartos I see, the clearomizer you posted fits in the kgo? Sorry for the ignorance but like I said my only experience is the mistic lol.

Sorry, late response. But, yes. Pretty much anything that's advertised as fitting an eGo will fit a kGo.
You will want to pick up some empty cartomizers anyway, unless you get several of those clearomizers.
This is really considered an "Atomizer kit", which is good, because atomizers are more expensive than cartomizers and you need a couple of those anyway to test juice before you commit a whole carto to it.
The pre-filled cartos are more or less a "freebie". Most atomizer kits don't include any cartomizers at all. It's usually a choice between 5 blank cartomizers or a couple of atomizers.

The only bad thing about prefilled cartos is that if you don't end up liking them you may not be able to get the flavor out.

Yeah, but in this case, they're freebies. It's best to choose a kit that includes atomizers because they're more expensive to buy than cartomizers. Then you buy blank cartomizers. This kit includes atomizers and just throws in the pre-filled for nothing. You still need to buy some blank cartomizers, but they're cheap.
