Other than swapping the battery to recharge, nothing else to replace. Any 510 or Ego threaded topper (tank) should work just fine on it.

What you're doing by going to a a VV/VW tube mod is getting (in general) a bigger battery, so you can vape longer without recharging; a control device that you can keep when the battery eventually no longer keeps a charge (vs. the non-replaceable throw the whole thing away / recycle); the potential to vape at higher power levels, which can sometimes provide a "better" vape experience.

I have both the V5 Vamo and the ZMAX mini. The Vamo has an extension that allows 18650 batteries but can be removed for 18350 battery use. It is long but will take any clearomizers or 510 threaded tank. The ZMAX mini I bought off ebay as a kit. It also has an extension but works great in 18350 mode. It will not take most ego threaded clearomizers without an adapter. However it will use standard CE4 clearomizers. I use the Vamo @ home and the ZMAX when out. They have both been good the three months I have had them. Another kit you may look into is the Innokin MVP 2. Good luck in your search. Analogue free for 25 weeks and counting !!!:vapor:

As long as your power source - i.e. battery - can deliver the right voltage and current, they will all work the same. More vapor and throat hit depend more on the topper you use (evod, Protank, carto, whatever) and the PG/VG ratio and nic level of your chosen flavor.

Higher PG will give more TH, more nic will give more TH. Higher VG will give more vapor.

So in one sense, all batteries can provide the same vape experience. Using the same liquid in the same topper, moving it from battery to battery... If they're all delivering the same power, then the vape will be the same. Choice of battery depends on what you want and how much you care to spend on it. Replaceable battery mods have extra up-front costs - batteries, charger. But you keep using the tube (or box) when the batteries eventually die, just getting new ones, relatively inexpensive. Non-replaceable battery devices, when the battery eventually dies, you replace the whole thing. But costs can be lower up front.

Looks like a good deal for domestic :)

Although they don't say what clearo, and there's no indication that it comes with a charger for it's batteries. If you don't already have one, you'll need to get one. Most batteries will ship with some level of charge, but not "full." The "phone charger" listed is to use the mod to charge your cell phone, not to charge the mod. Not sure what they mean by "power adapter."

RTD Vapor is a good reliable source for those: Battery Chargers
Lots to choose from, I use the Xtar WPS2, which, like many, can handle several sizes of lithium batteries.

And while there, you may want to get some more batteries, so you can have one to use while the others are charging. Although it might make sense to try your new mod with both the long and short, to see which you prefer. The 18650 will give substantially longer run time than the 18350. But you might prefer the smaller form with the smaller battery.
 
depends on your price range really, i always suggest going with a reasonable mod, something that will pack a punch but is small and compact and most of all durable like an ego c twist, you'll end up just wasting money on cheap ones, you need to make the initial investment in one that will take liquid and you can adjust the volts/wattage

If you haven't already made a choice of bottom or top coil clearos, I'd suggest getting one of each style. Maybe something like a Kanger ProTank 2, a pyrex bottom coil, and maybe a Vivi Nova to try the top coil. They do vape a bit differently. Variations are in the draw and the temperature of the vapor. Pyrex tubes are nice, since you never have to worry that a given liquid might dissolve it. (There are pyrex tubes for the Vivi's as well.) And some extra heads / coils for whatever you go with. That's the expendable part of clearos, and they're pretty cheap. (And if you're so inclined, can even be rebuilt to make it cheaper.)

Again, the kit you got has an unspecified clearo. Why not just wait to see what it is and if you like it?
