the ego line of products is pretty great while staying lower cost and allowing the use of a huge field of delivery devices(atomizers cartomizers tanks etc) the batteries range from 350mah on up to 2200mah+.
with not knowing your specific usage details I will avoid telling you a certain battery size to use,however as an example I am currently using ego-t 650 mah batts(which are a bit bigger than AA battery) and i can vape up to 2 days with lower use or at least 1 day with heavier use.I can say that you will certainly spend more time vaping with this example vs. your current batts though there are so many variables that it all boils down to what you want out of your equipment.
One of the best things you can do is find a local e-cig shop with a good variety and check out everything they have.
I hope this helps some,with more info it would be easier to give more direct suggestions
 
The eGo 1000mAh USB passthru is a great battery for beginners. it's easy to use and as long as you have access to a powered usb port and a USB-mini cable you don't have to worry about it dying on you. you can find them for 25-30$ if you like being able to vape for a while without having to refill I would go with a cartomizer, SMOKtech makes some good ones that wont break the bank. At first they can be confusing as to how much you need to put in and over/ under filling can lead to a bad vaping experience. How little you want to re-fill will decide how big of a carto you want. but carto's don't last all that long before needing to be replaced. If you don't mind the concept of dripping into an atomizer every 3-6 hits you take then I would go with them as it's easier and can be a great vape. whatever you decided just make sure the number (306, 510, 901 etc) matches up with the batt and carto/atty you get. I would stay away from things like the eGo type tank systems. if a tank seems like a good idea then grab a carto-tank. again SMOKtech makes a relativity good cheap one that's around 13$ and comes with a cartomizer already but again you will need to replace it. If you do go with an eGo batt or something similar in the 3.7v range just remember that you will need to pair it with a low resistance or LR carto/ atty or the ohm number (1.25 - 4 is the number you will usually see for this) If you want something that has a bit more kick then for around 60$ you can get the SMOKtech WOO... kit that comes with the PV, one set of battery's, a charger, and two huge carto's and you can get it from Kalamazoo vapor shop. Hope this was helpful if you have any other questions feel free to pm me.

i'd recommend a couple of ego batteries and a box of low res boge cartomizers and then get ready for the journey. the truth is if i knew when i started vaping what i know now i'd have saved a small fortune because i'd have bought a provari straight away and not bothered with all the crap that i've gone through just to end up with a provari (or two) anyway.

I like to sit and vape for longer periods of time. Not so much a 5 minute use and be done until later. What do you think about getting a refillable tank instead of the cartos.

Thanks,

yes you would benefit greatly using a tank type system as you run less risk of drying out a carto in the middle of a session,and you wont have to worry about topping off all the time.

I am using 6ml dcts(dual coil tank) and am able to refill nightly and not have to worry about it all day and still have plenty in reserve.you can also look into vivi novas(i cant wait to get one myself) or any of the other tanks available and with being a heavy vaper you would like be better off with a rebuildable type of tank/atty setup to help keep costs lower.many of the suppliers list here in the forum carry a wide variety of tank styles.I would suggest ordering a couple different types and see what you like best.

also with being a heavy vaper i would suggest getting a battery setup in the 1000mah+ range which the ego line has a few options whether it is a standard type such as an ego-t,passthrough,twist,or the ego upgrade mod which uses 18650 size batteries which can still be charged using the same charger as the rest of the ego line of batteries.

I like got vapes, I order from got vapes, you can trust that you are getting a genuine product, and not a knock off which it can be hard to tell, especially if your new to all this. Got vapes carries good products and has good support, and are very active in there suppliers forum here on ECF.... but you can find things for a few $ cheaper if you look around. Depends if the extra couple $ is worth risking sub-par support or not.

To elaborate on my last post I am looking to order from Vaporkings cause they sponsor a friends radio show. I am looking at the Joye eGo-c twist 650 MaH battery, and I am also looking at the Vision ViVa NOVA Clearomizer Tank System. I already have some eLiquid on hand from previous endeavors. I want to get 2 batteries and what ever else I need to run my product effectively. What else do I need outside of my two batteries, charger and the Vision ViVa clearomizer? I'll post a link to it below.

Thanks,

Vision Vivi Nova clearomizer tank system
