Okay, I've read reviews, watched videos and now I have an embarrassment of choice. I'm hoping someone here can help.
I have settled on Crystal Clear Vapor Resurrectors, both as cartomizers and as tank cartomizers. I have settled on my liquids of choice, 50/50 PG/VG @ 12 mg. I played with variable voltage but my kgo batteries seem to do the trick for me.
The problem is battery swapping. My kgos are 1100, yet I'm having to swap 3, sometimes 4 times a day. It works, I'm just a spoiled lazy brat!
I am willing to invest some cash, but am reluctant to spend too much at once. (Provari is beautiful, but for me it would be like carrying a ming vase into a football game! )
So any ideas? Thank one and all for your time!

I have that problem with my Silver Bullet. It's also a bit on the too big for out and about when I might be damaging it, I.E. work.

Realistically, you've got 2 choices if you want more battery power: Get a bigger tube mod, or get a box that runs multiple batteries in parallel. On an 18650 3.7v mod, you can get your hands on some Panasonic 3000mAh batteries which used to last me most of the day.

Maybe someone will chime in with an option for a parallel box mod, because I don't know of any off the top of my head.

I use a 14500 mod for when I'm at work, and my 18650 for at home/car, but I'm in an active profession, and it's in my key pocket. Keep in mind that the 14500 batteries are only rated for around 600-900mAh, and 18650's range anywhere from 1600-3000mAh depending on the brand/style. Also, I notice the voltage drop-off on my 14500s after about an hour or two. It starts to lose its kick and I find myself reaching for another battery now and then.

It's sort of tricky to suggest something, because there are so many people that found one, fell in love with it, and that's what they're telling all their friends to get. I only own two decent mods, so other than outlining the information that I can that might help you narrow it down, I can't make much of a suggestion based on experience.

Agree with X on the panosonic 3000mAh but you're still talking big mod. To go smaller it's going to involve a passthrough with a storage battery device:

Amazon.com: Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G (Black): MP3 Players & Accessories

I have an earlier Kensington batt pack about the size of a credit card that will last for days. No longer available at amazon but this or something similar would do the trick. See the "What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?" section in the link for other similar products.

Basically stick the pack in a pocket and hook up the passthrough - might be a bit better than carrying a vase to a football game. ;) Wouldn't bother me any :)
