6. The Fat Batts<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the newest <\/strong>category of personal vaporizer, created and named by yours truly (i.e., the category<\/em>; I had nothing to do with PVs themselves\"\"). Initially, most vapers thought of the first model as a “Mod” (the next and final category). However, battery mods are housings <\/em>for generic batteries. The models in this category have unique batteries<\/strong>. In January 2010, I predicted<\/a> there would be other <\/em>models with such fatter batteries; thus my tentative name for the category. [Referring to other models as “eGO-like” is becoming increasingly awkward.] And it seems that my crystal ball was crystal clear \u2013 new models and enhancements are coming out almost weekly … and the fat batts may now be the most popular of all types of PVs!<\/p>\n

The fat batts (more expensive than most standard models) cancel out the major weakness of those skinny e-cigs (puffs per battery charge) with their 650-1300 mAh manual switch batteries. And, because of that extended battery life, you won\u2019t need a PCC or PT, so the total price is no more than a skinny batt. [NOTE: Although virtually all of the following photos show black units, the eGO\/Tornado and Riva also are available in several other colors.]<\/p>\n
