Cheap VV batteries from China?

[chrisss]

Hi,

Booked our hols visiting the missus's rellies in Malaysia & got to thinking about holiday vaping. Rather than risk my precious mods I thought one solution would be to get 2 or 3 cheap ego type vv batteries (1100 or 1300 mah) from zainy or fasttech or the like and when I drop them in the pool I won't care. The rather random naming/numbering conventions on these sites has got me a bit confused and I was wondering whether anyone has some specific advice or suggestions.

Thanks

Chris

Riva, Ego, Mirage...essentially all the same. 1100 or 1300 depending on how long you want the charge to last.

This came from China yesterday

www.fasttech.com/products/1292300

Two 1300mah ego-type batteries, two clearomisers, a needle bottle, USB charger, useless US wall charger and a nifty case, all for about fifteen quid including shipping.

I looked on fasttech but couldn't see any VV batteries

Ah, sorry, I missed the VV bit. 

There's this for about £20

or this, for the same price

Frankly, though, if you're going to spend about twenty quid, you might as well get a Twist or Spinner.

They aren't as variable as a twist or spinner, with only 3 settings 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0. However at £20 you get 3 x 650 mah batteries (I think I read that right). 

So if you get new heads to match up either of those voltages to get the same/similar wattage to what your vaping now, it could work.

I do understand that the twist/spinners are better but I think I would still need 2 or 3 batteries, hence looking for cheapo options

I've checked oliverb's link and 3 x 650 mah are $29.40 and 3 x 1100 mah are only $31.40

For an extra $2 you can them upgraded to 1100mah. Bargain in my book that! With a mini nova you get 3 coils, 1.8, 2.2 and 2.4, without knowing what wattage you vape, you could get pretty close with one of those set-up options.

edit: you beat me to it, regarding larger batteries

These are only about £7, but they're only 900mah and again are 3 stage VV

Ah, that's the same one as Zainey's innit.

Tsk. Must go to bed.
