Ego-T batteries are all manual. I think get Joye brand and whatever size Joye Ego-T batteries you want. Some clones just called Ego are not well made.

If you are looking at other models for the batteries then I recommend the Riva 510 kits at Liberty-Flights.com (all of their Riva 510 kits are new 3.7v ones and the latest black SE kits seem to add 3-click enable/disable). The loose Riva 510 SE batteries are 3.7v and you would have to ask about the other loose batteries.

Or the E-power mod is a popular choice (you may need a 510 shorty extension with that to use the tank attys - not sure).

If you're not enjoying refilling all the time, you don't want Cartomizers (unless you're getting a carto-tank set, but that's a whole different beast). The eGo-T is a pretty solid design, and you won't have to refill it all the time. When I was using my eGo-T as my all-day PV, I would have to top off tanks at the end of the day, and that was about it. I had about 3-4 of them in rotation.

I use cartomizers right now, and I get the pleasure of refilling them three-four times a day. Fun stuff!

Anyhow, as far as eGo batteries go, you've really got 3 options. The 650mAh, the 1000mAh, and the VV one. The VV is pretty new to the market, I'm not really sure how well it works, or how long it lasts.

I started with a 650mAh, one fully charged battery would last me like 6-8 hours, then I would pop the other one on, and it would last until the first was done charging. I did end up buying a 1000mAh battery also, but I only used it at home, and only managed to empty it if I didn't charge it for a few days.

Hope this helps!

Edit: The E-Power is a good solid device too, but I would really recommend that you find yourself a Starter-Kit to get, especially if you want to go with the tanks. That way you don't accidentally get the wrong parts and have to wait longer.

I've been using the VV eGo for a couple of weeks now and all I can say is wow. I love it. A fully charged battery lasts me about 8 hours depending on what setting I am using. I don't use tanks or tank attys, but I do use the VPX tanks from Nhaler and with a 3.0ohm carto this VV eGo is mighty fun. I would recommend it. :)

what about the LR batteries i was looking to buy on cignot but i noticed the LR batteries are with no warrenty made me worry. The V2 goes through batteries in just hours or even when you dont use them and they are in my purse while at work. So excited to order my eGo-t and in purple yay!!! This habit has become move expensive than cigs lol but im hooked : )

"LR" would indicate they are talking about atomizers, not batteries.

We have 2 eGo-T 1000 mAh batts and a eGo 650 mAh passthrough battery. Dh's big battery lasts 12 to 14 hours and he can be a heavy vaping truck driver on his overnights. I can make my big battery last 24 hours but I am a light to medium vaper. We use LR tank B atty's. This hardware was bought at Cignot. Juices from Backwoods Brew. I hope this helps. :)

I got mine from AltSmoke, and continue to buy hardware from them. Their support is fantastic, and they're prompt in giving it.

That said, I'd recommend getting a standard eGo-T kit, and then after you've used that for a week or two, buy a couple LR attys. That way you'll have a baseline, so that the LRs will knock your socks off. Otherwise, you'll be using LRs and then hit a normal one and be like "Man, that's not as good."

Side note: I've found that some flavors taste better on the standard resistance, than on the LR.
