What should I upgrade to?

[bloodless2010]

I'm currently using a Vision Spinner battery with a few ProTank mini 3's (Which look quite nice together infact - so long as the battery matches the tank). I'm wondering what I should upgrade too.. I'm not really looking to get into mechanical modding yet as I'm not made of money. I'm more or less looking for a better battery with a better lifespan, I'm having loads of problems with my vision spinner and I'm looking for something that could replace that.. Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks!

Edit; I found this: Aspire Premium Starter Kit [VE754-B1] - £49.95 : Vape Escape and was wondering what your guys opinions are on it

The tank (Aspire Mini Nautilus) is an upgrade for the tank part, but the battery isn't much if any upgrade over what you've been using. The Nautilus has adjustable air flow control and state of the art coil heads.

You only mentioned that you want longer battery life for your upgrade, so I suggest one of the regulated mods with a long-lasting internal battery like an MVP or iStick. You should get 2 - 3 days per charge with these. Each model has different power (watt) options available. You shouldn't require more than 20 or 30 watts at this point in your vaping journey.

Baditude's suggestion is great. The Mvp pro is out now, and it has great battery life, and since it goes up to 60 watts, you might save yourself from having to upgrade in the near future. I got a great deal on mine (and it came with a iSub G for $10 more than most places are selling the regular 3.0!). Were you looking for any particular size range or form factor?

 

[SissySpike]

same as he and she said If you want more juice capacity the Kanger sub has a pretty healthy reservoir. You can go with the higher resistance coil head if sub ohm dose not appeal to you. If your interested in a RTA I find the Lemo 2 with top fill to be very reliable none leaking gurgling it even dose good with elevation changes. Its a easy build and wick as far as RTAs go IMO

Fastech is your friend if you can wait a month..
My Mech setup was less than $70, soon I will upgrade to some better stuff. but cheap is good for learning.

Fastech,
Brass Origin mech clone - runs 18350/18500/18650 (all with a KICK) $13
5-12watt Kick $8
Kayfun 3.1 $10
510 ohm meter $5
Battery Charger $5

LightningVapes.com (check their Ebay store might cost less)
Kanthal >$5
Batteries >$10 get at least 2

My first purchase was the Kayfun, which I ran on an EGO1100 fixed volt battery at first. Since the Kayfun looks kinda funny sitting on top of a pen battery. I was shopping for VV/VW device upgrade for the EGO when I got the Mech. I added the kick because I wanted regulation. At the time I was looking at Vamos and the istick and MVP2, and other sub 15watt mods.

A device with replaceable batts will save you down the road on cash. Later if you want to upgrade again you can still retain the batts for the replacement.

I believe the least amount of hassle is with a 5ml Nautilus tank which is the same price in most places as the mini (around $30). 5 ml should last all day or at least a full work day. The best battery life for the least amount of money is the istick 50 watt. 4400 mah battery and the ability to hit 50 watts if you decide later to try a sub ohm. They run about $40-50. It may be a bit much for some budgets (it was for mine) but I'm extremely happy with the setup and it's what I use almost all day.

 

[xDarkRelic]

Hmm don't waste your time with the aspire kit. It's not much of an upgrade from what you have now, except tank wise. I have the same thing and it was great for a few months, but I quickly found myself searching more.

What I upgraded to now is definitely one of my favorites. Istick50w and Subtank Mini. Depending on your budget, this seems like a reasonable way to go. The subtank has a rebuilable base so you can get into building coils before you buy an rda, just to see if it's for you.

 

[Troy Noh]

I would suggest you look into getting a MVP 2 they are dirt cheap now, and the orginal Aspire nautalis tank. holds 5ml of juice. Get you by the day, and the battery will run for 2 days

I've just got myself a nautilus and I'm really pleased with it. I'd definitely recomment the nautilus or nautilus mini.

If you are in the UK I would recommend comparing prices with myepack.co.uk, shoptostop.co.uk and cloud 9 vaping. Though I've used the website you're looking at too and sometimes they do have the best deals.

I have a Clover Overlord 2600mah battery that I am very pleased with as I don't like the box-shaped batteries. I don't remember where I bought it from though. It won't be as good as the box mods others have suggested, but it's good value for money if you're on a tighter budget.

simple misconception. Mech mod setups can be much cheaper than regulated setups, just more hassle if you chose to go the RDA route, less hassle if you just chose to rune tanks with prebuilt coils.

like someone mentioned above you can get a setup on fasttech for dirt cheap. mech mod ~20$, battery ~8$, charger ~20$. the chargers and batteries cost the same about anywhere, the mech mods will depend on the company but there are cheap authentics out there as well if you dont feel like fastteching it.

Personally I went the fasttech route, spent about 150$ total for a variety of stuff, 3 mechs, 5 attys, a charger, 2 batteries, 20 drip tips, 20x 20ml bottles. Have myself setup for a long while, and ended up being cheaper than my one (1) vv/vw mod I bought (vaporshark rDNA40).

Just like having the mechs around cuz I know they will work further on down the road, in case the electronics in my vv/vw devices kick the can somehow.

 

[Wruff]

I echo what some others said about going with a vv device,,, and a subtank mini would be my tank suggestion.

iStick 30W and Nautilus mini. The 2200 mah battery will probably last you 2 days.

That's what the pros are using.

I really like the ideas I'm getting here, but I had a lot of change in heart after reading some of the posts, turns out mechanical mod is something I should look into, I really like the look of the Nemesis Mechanical Mod,
I've done a lot of research into this, down the fine details like how wide it is and how tanks will fit on it.
I was thinking possibly this:
$13.79 Nemesis Styled Mechanical Mod - 18350/18500/18650 mod / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
And also picking up x2 18650 batteries with a charger, but the problem is now finding a tank, I took a look at the Kangertech GeniTank mega and turns out they have the same diameter, which means it will fit nicely with each-other (Aesthetics mean a lot to me when it comes to my vape setup, I hate it when one is too small or there is overhang etc)
$15.61 Authentic GeniTank Mega Bottom Dual Coil Clearomizer - 3.5ml / 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Personally I think they both look very very nice together but I'm wondering if this is a good choice. Thanks a lot guys!

Edit again: found this;
$23.55 Nemi Nemesis Mechanical Mod w/ Aerotank Styled Clearomzier - 2.5ml / 1.5ohm / stainless steel + glass + brass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Really cheap too and looks really nice. Should I get this? If I'm to buy this as well, where should I get 18650 batteries/charger for it? I live in the UK so a UK plug is required

 

[WonderDude32]

It's a good setup. If it works and looks good to you, any setup is a good one. Keep Vaping.

When it was time for me to upgrade from my vision spinner and protanks, I bought the MVP 2 and the Aspire Nautilus (got the full sized). LOVED it! Still use it from time to time. Can't go wrong with this setup. I wouldn't need to charge or refill for 2 days.

 

[Panorama911]

The MVP 2 is a good choice but keep in mind it has an internal battery that will need charged as a unit, not certain if it is pass through but just something to keep in mind. IMO an SVD 2.0 is just as good and you can just switch out the battery for a fresh one while the spent battery is charging, no need to be tethered to a USB cord just to vape. MVP during the charging is not near as mobile a device is my point.

Not to mention the MVP at some point will no longer be usable once the battery has reached its charge life, with a separate 18650 when it hits the life span, just buy a battery and not have to replace the device! And you can get various mAh capacities. Having a dozen differing batteries to use is nice to have versus one internal battery!

Options are our friend, reason why some here have enough equipment to start their own vape shop.

OH and you can get a SVD 2.0 in Black finish for 40.00 USD still....

I actually loved the fact that the MVP has an internal battery and I was able to vape even when charging. I'm using an IPV2s now and I'm not a fan of external batteries (love the actual box tho). It's too much of a hassle.
To each their own.

 

[dennon21]

I personally upgraded from the aerotank mega and istick 20w to a atlantis v2 and istick 50w I love both the 20w setup is more for tootle puffing and a back up setup if I need it the 50w setup is my main beast I love it
