Looking for upgrade advice

I have had this setup for a while. A Kecig K100 with an Aspire Nautilus tank. The mod is slowly breaking on me and I estimate a week or two it will be dead.

I'm looking for an upgrade, not an ungodly amount of money, as far as expense. My biggest complaint is that one 18650 battery lasts maybe a half day, so the biggest plus would be more endurance, a day would be nice. I would like but not need a bigger tank, but the mod is the focus. I'm flexible with ideas. What do the more knowledgeable vapers recommend?

Ipv3 li. Temp control. Cost effective. Upgradeable to 200 watts. Easy to use. Will last most vapers a full day on one set of batteries.

If you want to save some money and have a reliable small unit ....

I would recommend the Eleaf iStick 40watt/temp control/2600mah for $25 at VaporTek USA .... http://www.vaportekusa.com/40w-eleaf-istick-temp-control-2600mah-mod-only

Very good unit .. convenient size ... very cheap price. For most folks it last all day but charges quick and conveniently with a cell phone charger or with a usb/mini cable you can use it plugged to your computer as a pass through and it is always fully charged when you are on the go.

Since the K100 is a mech mod, I'm assuming, you want to continue going with a mech mod. You could look into a 26650 mech mod, or a dual 18650 battery mech mod. Either one, will power your tank longer, than your K100. If your choice is a dual 18650 battery mech mod, I'd be looking for a parallel dual 18650 mech mod.

Like those dogs! I wish I could have one again but my wife is a cat person. Tried once getting a puppy. However, my wife has no clue of how to train a dog.

Thanks my girl bailey had em comeing up on 2 years ago raised them from day 1. There mutts with curly tails and black mouths but Mostly pitbull. Dogs arnt that bad to train (depending on bered) main thing is keep a routine and crate train.

My girl (dog) I used to have in Germany was a rescue Mud from Marocco. She didn't need crate training at all, she just needed a leader of the pack. Which is true for every breed of dog. It's the owner making a dog aggressive.

I just love dogs, due to their loyalty, and living in the present. Don't get me wrong, our cats adore me as well (it's just a pack as well). My wife thinks, I have a touch with animals. I could tell some stories, but I don't want to hike the thread.

So what style mod are you looking to upgrade to? Do you want to stick with mech mods or are you open to regulated? A regulated mod will IMO give you more time on a battery charge than a mech with a Nautilus simply because the power won't go down as battery voltage declines so you'll be able to use more of the charge.

I'm also wondering what's going bad with the Kecig K100. I have one that I used for most of a year. It needs a new switch spring now (after three years), but other than that it's still in very good shape. It's biding it's time in my vapocalipse box currently :)
