Posting here as there isn't an 'oldie but a bit thickie' board
Last lot of batteries are on their way out, I can't keep up with all the new stuff so was looking for advice on what to get to replace, please

It's a Riva type that I got from VapeEscape, it's done ok but one of the batteries won't hold charge now.

What atomisers/clearomisers are you using on top? This is a good kit, only a little step up from the Riva batteries but all your existing kit (charger and clearomisers etc) will work with it: myepack.co.uk/kits/evod-starter-kit-ss.htmlThe heads are replaceable in the Evod tanks so are cheap to maintain, it's the same size as what you have as well.

Any kit you buy, you should buy from MyEPack as they have fast delivery and the best prices around

jambuttyif your happy with what you have been using, why not just replace like for like. If you do want to upgrade , then Roscopecotrain has suggested a couple of good alternatives.

@jambutty you seem to have been Vaping a long time, so you know what you want, spend a bit of time looking before you order your new kit, but I can recommend Variable Voltage/Wattage as a decent step up in Flavour

Well, I understand the principle of variable voltage but not quite sure how it affects the use of an ecig.
Is it higher voltage more flavour, more nicotine, or is it more complicated than that? And does using higher voltage shorten the battery life?
I bought one of those starter kits from myepack as a Christmas present for someone, it looked very decent; I've also been using an evod cartomiser but it didn't seem to quite have the amount of flavour I got from some of the others

jambutty the variable voltage or wattage can increase the Flavour from your juice, it will use more Battery Power, I'm not sure if it increases Nicotine hit, but thats more regulated by the amount of times you Vape. I haven't used Cartomisers, only Clearomisers (tanks). Myepack is getting good feedback as a vendor, and seems to do decent kit. Probably a DECENT replacement Battery would be your best bet (not all Batteries are equal!)

Long time no see jambutty Are you still mainly using cartomisers? Got to admit that I still prefer the draw on them to anything else If you are happy with Vape Escape stick with them as their customer service is excellent & using their discount code allabout almost brings them into line with some of the cheaper vendors As for a new battery - I'd recommend a Vision Spinner.

As for a new battery - I'd recommend a Vision Spinner. Why not? Good choice. I have 1 remaining old Riva battery (it's got some dinosaur footprints on it ). It's still better than some of my "spare" eGo 650s. (Kanger evod type)

Hi Chrissie, I look in from time to time without posting, that's how I saw the myepack kit recommended for beginners before Xmas.
I read the threads and don't know what half the stuff is that's being discussed!
