Thank you swedishfish. I had no idea it seems that impressive :)
I wonder how many Mah {assuming that's Milliampere/hour} is the battery which is as thick as an "AA" Battery and if there are any thinner or thicker ones.

as for the Low resistance cartomizer/atty, i guess i will learn about them including their pros and cons with time.

"Does the thickness depends on the battery's capacity or all capacities are of the same thickness?
Can you kindly tell me the capacity of your battery and how many hours does it last (estimation)?"

All standard eGo, Riva and KGo batteries are the same diameted. The ones with greater capacity are longer (i.e. a 900 mAh is longer than a 650 mAh battery).

There are some exceptions: the Riva UNC and ePowers are thicker.

I currently use a 750 mAh Riva (same size as a 650 mAh eGo) and the battery lasts about 5-6 hours of my normal vaping with low resistance cartos.

Please help me find what cigarette/kit would fit me best according to the following:

What you are asking for is what almost everyone wants when they start using ecigs. You want some thing that looks like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, and tastes like a cigarette. But it doesn't exist.

The short answer is "Get an eGo-T or a clone".

The long answer, well, there's too much, but I'll skim a couple of high points. Most of what you didn't like with the one you have comes down to battery size. A battery the size of a cigarette simply can't last long, it has to be recharged more often, and due to running it dead and recharging it a lot, it doesn't take long before it doesn't function as well as when it was new.

There is a fairly funny video which covers what you are going through, because it's so common.

The battery in my picture is a 650mAh. Using Joye lr attomizers it will last me about 6hrs. Not vaping 100% of the time, but with breaks and working... :) all the eGo batteries are the same diameter. Length changes based on capacity.

650mAh length 71mm (2.80in)
900mAh length 86mm (3.39in)
1000mAh length 96mm (3.78in)

All feel comfortable in my hand, don't feel out of place and all work great. Hope this helps.

I found a picture that may help you see the difference in sizes.

sorry not the greatest picture, but you might be able to use it for comparison

added: found the web site for this pic, and it has other comparisons as well.

Hi,
I have a riva 1100mah which i use at home and i also have 2 volt batteries which are kr808d which i use when i am out or at work. they are the new sealed autos and are the same size as a real cigarette.
I just find it so much easier to carry these small ones around and i don't get so many comments. (got a bit up of people saying i look like i'm smoking drugs)
One battery and carto will last me a 6 hour shift at work but i take both with me just in case.
I love my volt and it is just as good as my riva and better than my small 510 manuals.
smokeless image also ship internationally and have reasonable shipping prices, i paid £25.00 including postage to get it shipped to the uk.
My riva will last me all day at home and i charge it once a day.
