I have a 510 and i cant deal with the battery life so I am looking at getting an extended battery

Im looking at either the vp2, the silver bullet, or the screwdriver

can you tell me you experience with these

looking for the most vapor and battery life

thanks

The same atomiser at the same volts will give the same vaping experience.

You need to decide between 3.7v(actually more like 4.2v with the big battery devices) and 5 or 6v. Once you decided that the battery life is down to the size of the battery!

On atomisers my view is that the 901/4075 atomisers give the best mix of flavour/vapour/hit with big batteries - the 510 gives the most hit though.

Yeah thats the thing with purchasing this stuff
you cant test it out and spending 100+ is something i really dont want to experiment with

I think Im leaning towards the silver bullet and see if i can find more reviews on the vp2 (ive only seen 1 - thats 2 guys on youtube)

I can always buy automizers to swap and test - just want to make sure i get a good battery with less downsides as possible

Remember the things are only battery holders - its the type of battery you put in them that defines battery life...

There is a trade off of course - big batteries require big holders! The Silver Bullet is BIG device for example. The Screwdriver is smaller (for example). Ergonomics matter a lot - I like the "button on the end" like the Screwdriver, Super T1 and AdapteveR, some people hate it.

true
i work from home so the look is not a big deal
although i do like the look of the screwdriver and the vp2
to me they look good and pretty cool

the silver bullet looks like a big space shuttle end on your e cigg - lol

i can experiment with the batteries once i get the device
hummmmmmmmmmm

decisions

Unless you want big volts - I'd go for a less physically big device than the Silver Bullet. I like the Screwdriver, but in the end its all a matter of taste and how the thing feels to YOU to use.

If you work from a home computer, IMO the first thing on your list should be a USB passthrough.

humm didnt think about that

and they have a car plug for the passthrough so i can plug it into the cigarette lighter

i drive alot or i am sitting at my computer

the only other thing will be the vapor
from what i have been reading the vapor is more with the batteries

ive had my 501 for a week and its not producing alot of vapor like before
ive cleaned the atomizer and did the drips

i guess i have to buy more atomizers
right now im getting less than half of the vapor i was getting when i first got it on monday

but. . . . . i do have it in my mouth all day and constantly puffing on it

so i think i fried the atomizer

Clean the threads on both that atty and the battery. That can make a BIG difference!

Good luck!

The mods with the biggest batteries give the most vapor with the 510 but the flavor gets lost a bit. A lot of people rotate atomizers - when they get hot then the flavor disappears and they don't vape as well. I keep 3 on rotation usually and switch every 30 mins or so. Another alternative at home is to put a hefty copper heat sink on the atty.

Zamm... I posted this same message in another thread a few days ago, but I think it should be re-stated....

If you want the best mod out there (IMO) check out...
THAG BUILT: You think you can break it?

You can run it 3.7V (for 3-4 days) or use two 3V batts for 6V vaping.
If you're worried about size look at the little chuck. (1-2day batt life)

If you want to read some reviews (all good from what I've seen) check out ECF (e-cigarette-forum.com) and search for Chuck. It's the "how to spend a saturday" thread. This guy is great. He will customize your chuck however you want it. Send him the graphics you want and he'll put 'em on and clear-coat over. To me, it's more than just a mod, it's a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
And it's only $75 plus $5 shipping. He builds each one to order so it may take 1-2 weeks to get but well worth it.

EDIT: Here's the link to the thread...
e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

It's a very long thread but you can see the progression of the Chuck from it's conception. If you want to see some of the latest works, go to the end and work your way back.

BTW: the pics of the illusion colors don't do them justice. In person they are absolutely gorgeous.

I use a q-tip to clean the battery threads

A toothbrush works well..especially if it's someone else's.
