i currently have a ego with 1050mah batteries and it only last me a day. thinking of upgrading to rechargeable batteries but dont know which would be a better for me a 3.7v or 5v. I smoked 1-2 packs a day and now power vape all day long and the batt is almost deadbefore night. would rechargeable batt pv even help me in this matter.
which pv would be a good choice for me

Hello and welcome....
Wow you must power vape
Do you have more than one battery?
We usually recommend at least two and a backup.
can I ask where you bought your pv? cause they really are not expensive.

It's a bit late (midnight east coast) but if you don't get good answers tonight try again tomarrow. I don't know enough about mods to know the mah of various mods. What ohms atty or cartos are you using? I fyou are using very low resistance then going a bit higher would make your battery last longer.
my ego came with 2 batts but the old lady uses 1 of them. i got it for $75 at gotvapes. i really like the ego but i would still like to upgrade and size and shape dosnt matter. i would really like a darwin but cant see spending that price tag right now snice i just started a week and a half ago. all my cartomizers and attys are standard ohm ratings. would LRs help? im really enjoying vaping and can see how all of this can get really addictive with all the selections out ther.
Quite a few possibilities.
If you want to do something 'now' but for around $100
Take a look at stuff like iGo and GoGo.
Consider less expensive factory mods like E-Power (Less than $50).
Then there's the US made stuff...RoughStacks aren't very expensive and give you all sorts of battery stacking options.
Also lots of Box Mods out there for well under $50.
With all that in mind...I'd probably just pick up an extra eGo battery or two if battery life is the only problem right now. You already have a charger.........and you have several sizes of eGo/Riva batteries to choose from $15 each up.
Save up some money towards a top of the line Mod along the lines of a Darwin later.
The nice thing about Darwin is you don't have to get loads of batteries and chargers and stuff to go with it. Subtract the cost of a set of good batteries and a charger from a Darwin....all the sudden it's under $200 (still alot of money...but it should be a life-lasting, low service type of product).
Also, by the time you've set aside a couple hundred bucks or so for a high end mod...there WILL be new models out to choose from, maybe even with more competitive prices.
LR will in theory drain your batteries faster, but will produce a little more/hotter vapor.
Some people find that with a hotter burning atty...that they don't need to take as long of a draw (shorter burns)...so it's possible you would not notice much if any difference in battery drain.
Some folks say not to go below 2ohms on a standard eGo battery. Others say it won't hurt anything. In Theory...going below 2ohms could blow the switch on a standard eGo battery or cause its protection features to 'shut-it-down' for good, and may increase the chances of a battery explosion accident.
Me personally...I use 2ohm stuff on eGo batteries all the time. Ocassionally I use 1.7ohm stuff...close enough for me
At today's prices for eGo batteries...which should last most folks a good year....heck, if I got 4 to 6 months out of one I'd still consider it a very fair price.

I am guessing you dont work in front of a computer? I vape all day with my passthrough plugged into my PC.
Go with a variable voltage mod. Buzz, Infinity, or ProVare are excellent PV's. Once you go variable voltage, you won't go back and your other batteries will collect dust.
I would just pick up another eGo or Riva battery. You can buy them individually for about $15-20 depending on the make and capacity (mAh). The Riva batteries are now supposed to be unregulated 3.7V (4.2V off charger) as opposed to the regulated 3.2V of the eGos. So you could pick up 1 Riva battery for $15 for more battery life and to see what 3.7V feels like with your atties. They are even compatible with the eGo charger so that's all you'd need to buy.
If you're already considering a Darwin.. I wouldn't drop the money on a 3.7V or 5V mod. Even the cheaper mods can add up in price when you start adding batteries, a charger, and optional components. You'll probably end up wanting a VV mod in the future so you may as well just get one now or go the cheap route that I recommended until you're ready to take the plunge. In other words, "If you gonna do it, do it BIG!"
