The best battery life I have found in a standard 3.7 kit without being a mod is the Hello 016 you can find the Carto kits for around $36.00 or less.

Battery last me all day and I am a heavy vapor…

I suggest getting an extra battery as a backup.

madvapes.com
Use that Discount code strell for 5% off
Total price $51.29



Hello 016 Carto Kit

I've got Prodigys V1,V2,V3 and a Protege (still using the original tach switch that came with it also) and I love them all! I have had no problems with any of them. That being said the V3 rocks. I love it! And if I didn't already have the Protege, that I'm extremely happy with, I would be buying an Icon for sure.:vapor::)

I just don't like the button placement on those, or I would order a v3 or icon right now. :glare:

Have you looked at the Saber Touch? There is now a mini version which is 3.7v. Sir_Lawrence places a 5 year warrantee on his product. I have the larger version, but the same battery for 3.7v vaping is used in the mini. My battery has lasted me up to 4 days! You can also completely customize the color.

I have and I don't like the design of it.
I know I am very picky, but I just want to make sure I get something I like.

I've had no real issues with my BB. I did have to stretch the spring when I first got it. Here are a couple pics of it in my hand.

From their website":

Icon-2 x Tenergy 14500 Lith-Ion Batteries (Non-Protected: Rated at 3.7v - 900mAh)
1 x Charger

Prodigy-4 x RCR123a Lith-Ion LifePo4 Batteries (Rated at 3.0v - 750mAh) (protected or is this nonprotected?)

I dont know the diff in batts but the Icon states non protected


That doesn't sound right where did you hear that?

I just saw that on there website.
Idk what that's all about strange.

i'm going to send a ticket.
 
For Icon:
'Please Note:
Unprotected Versions of the 14500 Battery will fit this device. Protected versions will not. We recommend Tenergy 14500 batteries or IMR14500 batteries only.

Research now, indicates the batts for the Podigy ARE protected


Let me know if you find a number for them.
I would like to speak with someone other than in an email. 30 million per year you'd think they hire someone to answer the phone.

I think protected batt comes with V3.
I am debating V3 , Icon or just buying an Ego batt and charger for less than $30.
Icon I would want protected batts to fit, I think, but would have to find source unless PS has them.

I got it.
Thanks, so protected batteries work as long as you remove the 3 washers. I wonder is a protected or unprotected battery comes with the v3.

Are you going to be order an Icon or v3?

I am giving my mom my Joye 510, and I am getting a bigger one.

Still debating the v3 or icon.
I want to try the 6v PV, but worried it's to big to carry on a regular day basis.

just real quick....about the battery questions:

14500 IMR are safe chemistry batteries they don't use a PCB for protection...they're LIMN and have a high drain rate....(in a 14500 battery these are preferable)

the RCR123a LiFePo4 are also a safe chemistry and not protected by a PCB...


while I have my own preferences about what I think is best (the precise line from super T) they are more than your price range....
What abgout something like the XS-haler from nhaler or the minivapestack from madvapes...or even the chameleon from ikenvape...
