Hi Sal, and welcome from me too! I use a Vamo (I have two actually), although I, like you, started on eGo batteries and clearos.
If I had to choose one setup forever, I think it would be my Vamo and a Protank. The Vamo is big, no doubt about it, but the bigger batteries means that I can get about a day and a half of normal vaping per charge (my batteries are 2300mah, so take a bit longer to charge - 7-8 hours - but then last longer).
However, if I had unlimited money, I would consider a 1300mah Spinner as I have a couple of acquaintances who use them and get well over a day from them. They are smaller, and use an eGo USB charger, so no need for the additional expense of a new charger.
If you are prepared to wait, you can get a Vamo kit from Fast Tech (a Chinese online company), although it will take about 3 weeks to arrive on the slow boat service. I'm on my phone at the moment, so can't easily add links but I'm sure someone will be able to soon!
I hope this helps - there are 101 different setups which you could plump for, but it's safe to say that they will all be longer-lasting and more vaporous than the one you are currently using!

Thank you so much Chrissie! That makes sense, I am out and away from chargers etc a lot at the moment so the longer between charges, the better, really. Part of the problem is that I don't have an ecig shop anywhere very near here and I am car-less too so I can't go and try these things out, sometimes you just know don't you, if you can just see it in the flesh! I don't necessarily mind big and heavy, as long as it does the job.  So, with the Vamo, I'd need to buy that, then buy the batteries to go in it, and a charger to charge the batteries? Am I getting the right idea? And the Spinner would just charge like an Ego? Thank you so much for all your help

Where abouts are you Sal? There may be some members near you that could meet up with you to show you what they use?

Thanks Andy! That's great, there is definitely a theme going on here and Spinner or Vamo seems to be getting the most votes which is reassuring - I was slightly concerned everyone would say something different to add the my confusion!! I've heard of Fast Tech, I will head over and have a look, it sounds like I will end up with a Spinner this month and maybe a Vamo when I have saved up a little more! Is the Vamo easy to understand?! I am not the most technically minded person i know lol. It's my ageing brain.....

Once you have grasped the basics the Vamo is easy-peasy. I tend to leave it on VW where it works it all out for me, and just adjust the wattage occasionally , but apart from that I just hit the power button and vape! It is also useful for me as it has a built-in ohms checker (as do other mods, I should add), and this is useful for me when I'm recoiling, to check my coils before blowing up my mod or damaging the battery!
This was not the reason I bought the Vamo for, but it is a useful by-product.
Back at home briefly, so here are a couple of links -
Vamo with 18650 batteries and charger
Vamo body only Stainless Steel
Nitecore charger
Pair of Panasonic 18650
batteries

You have to option of changing the currency so you can see the prices in GBP - click the [change currency] in the bottom right corner of the price box - I'm not much good at working out $ prices!!
Hope this helps!
