Need advice finding accessories for davinci. Willing to consider vape recommendations too

What I'm looking for is a vape with (in order of importance) temperature control, ease of charging OR replaceable batteries, whip to bong available, and finally under $300 including accessories. "Portability" as far as size is not an issue for me. I want to use it in my room, in my car, and at a friend's house with his bong.

Basically what I'm finding is that my criteria are too strict and davinci and no2 are my only options. So, I've settled on the davinci. I'm guessing the battery life may become an issue for me; my solution was to try and find a usb power cord and just bum someone's tablet charger if I ever needed to charge. I would also buy one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B00BQ5KHJW/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=w38
But trying to find specifics on this thing is impossible.

Does anyone have any advice on power cords which will work for either the davinci or the no2? Is there a name for the type of connector it uses so I can search myself? If you have any recommendations, feel free to educate me but please respect that temperature control is a deal breaker for me.
Thanks in advance

The NO2 has swappable batteries. The DV wont be charged unless at home or in the car but it only last like 4 to 5 8 minute sessions.

How is the Solo and ALL the other vapes not options. If 300 is your limit you've got nearly all the options.

The Inhalater INH05 has replaceable batteries, temp control, and works great with water (it has a 14/18 wt adapter available), and they are having a valentines sale so well under your price limit...

A buddy loves his Da Vinci, so I'm sure thats also a decent option, I just haven't tried one :)

Because none have low enough temperature ranges (solo) or no real temperature control. Most I've looked at start with temps around 350°f I would like to see starting temp at about 300°f

Wow research begins now. Anything else you'd like to add? Perhaps some notable cons with the INH05?

I've had an INH05, then an INH05S, for about 6 months now. It was my daily driver over the holidays and performed like a champ. It doesn't have a ton of moving parts so not much to loose (I always carry a spare capsule with me), and uses a miniUSB to charge, so loads of pro's, including the 2 year warranty.
My biggest con is that I only use it up to 6 (of 9 settings) without putting a bit of whip on it - it gets hot! But the effects at high temps is pretty amazing, so water is your friend. I'm also using the 05S, which has a bigger heater. The INH05 I could run to 7 without a whip. 3 inches of silicone worked wonders.

Here's the sale from their FC thread... and I just noticed the sale ended yesterday. But it's worth checking out anyways :)

The issue with the DV and NO2 is even though they say they are that temp I don't find the heater to be direct or strong enough that I feel it is actually vaporizing at that specific temp, this is an issue with the EQ and many other vapes as well. Its nice having a range you're supposed to be in but the temperature options on portables just aren't really that exact. The inconvenience is that none are just pure convection with a temperature display, they most likely involve a bit of conduction which makes the actual temp off. For your needs the NO2 sounds like a great option especially if you aren't trying to go into high temps.

I wish that sale was still going :-( thank you for your input though.

The reason I chose the davinci over the no2 was the davinci seems to be more popular with more support. The no2 has replacement batteries, but they still need to be charged by the power supply they give you (or charged separately with another special power cord). So then I would still be looking for a usb power cord with that special connector. Was there another reason I should choose the no2 over the davinci?

Thank you both for your responses and help

It would take hours to recharge the DV using the external power bank when you can just carry an extra NO2 battery that'll charge at home faster then the power bank itself, that seems simpler to me somehow.

After having both for at least 2 years or so I can say the NO2 holds up a lot better then the DV. the battery life on my no2 is still around six 15 minute sessions and the DV down to three at 10 minutes each(and now with the new NO2 V2 they claim double the battery life).

Cleaning the DV is a major pain due to the design of that top. can no longer even change the top screen due to the little metal useless upper(herb) chamber that holds it broke free and now just spins freely so you can't unscrew the cap. That along with several other inconvenient little problems have devalued the DV in my collection, I loved 'em when they were new but I haven't found 'em durable enough to recommend.

My NO2 still pretty much looks and performs as it did the day I got it while my DV looks a performs like it was rode hard 'n' put away wet, even though it was cleaned and maintained as diligently as the no2.
To me that means something.

And yes in the past I raved about the Davinci, but now wish it had held up through a few years more use.

EDIT: And yes it's a very Baked(Vaked Sunday) so I hope that makes sense. It does to me now anyways.

Umm, fwiw my NO2 was my first ever vape. Solid and dependable, even though I had no idea what I was doing with/to it back then. I agree with everything @RUDE BOY says. I did let the battery die completely one time and it was a bit tricky to recover, but we made it. I sold it awhile back mainly because I've kinda outgrown it. It's top heavy, doesn't really fit in any pocket, and also doesn't fit in a cupholder, but was great for the garage.

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you sir. Now I've gotta search for a good deal on one of these.

What do you mean let the battery die completely? Is that a bad thing? Yeah not fitting in a cup holder is gonna be an problem for me haha but I'm looking forward to ordering my first vape so not right now

I hope you're not expecting to get THC at that temp- too low.

Is ~315°f boiling point for thc that I keep reading correct? I just rounded to 300 but that definitely wasn't a hard limit. Also, I've read and come to understand that most vapes will get hotter than display temp so low balled.

The few studies that have been done don't always agree on how much of what is released when, but there's nothing wrong with starting so low that you only get taste, as long as you eventually move the temp up- 300 isn't the place to stop. You seem to already have the info you need.
