Well I am 4 months in and thinking of upgrading. I am really not sure what all is out there, but this is what I am thinking about.

I have been using a kr808 and cartomizers. I have a buddy that got the ego T and ego T KVS style. It seems like a good fit, BUT I don’t like the lower 3.3v? It has. I really seem to like the 3.7v. What are my options for this?

I seen a lea tank online and it seems ok, But I don’t’ know anything about them.
Me and my wife use the same setups and would like to keep it like this. Some things we both like are the tank setup and that you can tell how much battery is left. It would be nice if the battery was bigger. I would a setup that will not leak juice and one with maybe a bigger battery. If I do get a lea tank what all fits it? Are there better options? Any help would be great. Also where is a good place to buy this setup or other?

Thanks

Your options for a 3.7V device is going to be endless. It's basically the standard when it comes to e-cigs.

As for your LEA tank. It and your atomizer will fit anything with the same threads. You might need an extender adapter along with it. Never owned one of those so I'm not sure.

As for my suggestion on an upgrade. It depends on what you and your wife are willing to spend. If you buy a high end PV such as the REO than it will last you a lifetime. Lower end items might last a while as well but it's not as versatile or built as well as the higher end pv's. So, that means it can break easily or you have to fiddle with it work it to work correctly. If you like tanks than you might like bottom feeders as well. Such as the REO, Monkey Box, or Phidias.

Hmm, so, you're looking for something that utilizes a tank system of sorts (to prevent a mess), but with a larger battery?

Ever considered bottom feeding mod? Or, a tube pv with a tank (like the Liquinator for example) on top?

Personally, I just bought some Pump Carts today. If you don't know what they are, check this video review out http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-reviews/217757-hi-def-review-pump-carts.html

In a nutshell, you can really use any pv and atty combination with it, and it should eliminate any mess. I don't know quite how well they work yet, but Scott (igetcha, the reviewer there) says he gets them to work just fine (when using the proper methods), and I believe him (enough to try them out myself :) )

As far as a larger battery in the same 'type' of pv that you're currently using, I am not really versed on what's the 'best' around for those types of pvs.

I don't think a mod would work at this time. My wife uses the pv and I do the rest. she said its my job to fill, charge and fix it. The two things she asked for is to know how much juice it has and how much battery is left. But I want it to have 3.7v and to not leak. It would also be nice if I could have a battery last all day or really close.

Well, there are these http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-es-smoketech-ego-e-powers-41650-81650-a.html the e-power series, eGo style batteries. They have removable batteries, and the largest, the 18650 would probably suit your battery needs. The draw back, it's pretty big.

Honestly, depending on how hard you guys vape, I dunno if you're going to find a pv that the battery will last you literally all day (unless you're a medium to light vaper), without using a mod of sorts. But, I could be wrong, just my assumption. Check those e-power e-cigs out. You can always add a tank cartridge, or that Pump cart I was talking about to avoid messes.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I did not know a lot of that stuff was out there. For those that put links a extra thanks, as I sometimes don’t know where to find what you are talking about. From what I have read it seems that the 510 tanks leak a lot. Also would be nice if some of those batteries would show how much charge was left. That 2200mah e power looks like it would last me a while, but that thing is pretty big to toss in your pocket. Any other input? I was also going to ask, the lea tank says that you can also use a joy 510 on it. Is the joy 510 just like any other 510? About how much juice will the standard tank hold?

The Lea does work with pretty much any 510 threaded hardware. There are a couple of small exceptions, some of the eGo style extra large cartomizers likely won't fit. The tank is pretty small in those actually, around 1ml. You think I'd remember, I wrote a review on it a while back. The link to that is here if you want to read more: Innokin LEA - Impressions

If you've considered the Lea, you might also consider the Leo. You can get a 'regular' atty for it, or a tank atty. I've used both the Lea and the Leo (with the regular atty and the tank atty)

I think I like the Lea a little better between the two, but the Leo has an 800mah battery. That's enough for me to commute 40 minutes to work, work a 10 hour shift, and commute home without losing power. Plus, keep in mind that both of them charge with a mini-usb passthrough, making them VERY easy to charge.

Thanks for the help that review was great, some really good info. The reo grand sounds cool but I don’t think one is in my future. Some of the features about the lea tank seem to be great, I would like a little bigger bat. But a 650mah should do ok. If you wanted to try different juice can you take the tank off and drip juice to try new flavors? Sorry about all the question I am still kind of new and don’t understand a lot of this.

If you wanted to try different juice [with the Lea] can you take the tank off and drip juice to try new flavors?

Yes an no. The lea atomizer has a hollow tube with a wick inside of it, which goes up into the tank. You 'can' drip onto it, or even beside it into the atty, but it really isn't made for dripping.

However, the tanks are incredibly easy to refill. No at all like dealing with refilling a carto or a polyfill cartridge. If you want to try a different flavor, I'd recommend just grabbing a different tank (they're small and inexpensive) and putting half a dozen drops in it to test.

If the ability to drip is a deal-breaker for you, you don't want any kind of tank system.

The REO's are pretty much the Cadillac of bottom feeders, and they command a high-end price tag (on the positive of that, they also have a good resale value) There are lots of other juice boxes out there, and you might consider picking up a thirty dollar feeder before jumping in with both feet.

An interesting product that has appeared recently is the drip on demand kit from madvapes. It's less than twenty bucks and works on pretty much any 510 attomizer. It comes with a couple of 5ml bottles, and 10 ml bottles for it (purchased separately) are inexpensive. Here is a fairly comprehensive overview from a user.
