Question Concerning The 651 Mah Bat

[Ian]

I feel like for every new thing I learn about vaping, two new questions pop up lol. I'm going to understand all of this one day, I just know it!

Anyway, I'm researching the eGo and every day day-to-day stuff and I just stumbled on direct dripping. My question is, kind of a two part, are the 651 mah batteries that come in the eGo Starter Kit off VT manual batteries and I can DD in an LR 510 atty on my eGo, correct?

[benjamin1990]

yes you can. it will wear down your battery faster but yes you can.

[kitsune]

I'm pretty sure all the ego batts are manual--somebody will correct me if I am wrong. I have had no trouble dripping with my LR510 attys--battery time for me is about the same between dripping and carts.

[Ian]

kitsune, does the LR fit inside the cone of an eGo or do ya just gotta keep that off?

[kitsune]

yes. it is the same size as the standard 510. the 510 parts are all interchangable. the LR and ego go very well together. !!!

[Ian]

thank you so much kitsune. I'm getting super excited about my purchase. if you have a pic of your setup would you mind posting it?

[kitsune]

currently at work, but when I get home I will post a pic. you will not regret making this purchase (the first of many). i have been very, very happy with my ego. I work 12 hour shifts and can only vape intermittently, but the battery lasts me the whole shift. If I am vaping heavier it will still last me 6-8 hours.

I am looking forward to hearing what you think once you get started.

[Ian]

thank you in advance for the pic. I plan on posting mine just for kicks upon receiving.

as for the 6-8 bat life, that is AWESOME. i have no problem having a fully charged battery on standby and just switching out when I'm at home, my biggest concern was travelling like parties or shows, didn't want to have to carry a spare battery with my juice bottle.

There are automatic tornados (private label ego) from totallywickeed

[kitsune]

Thanks FT--I hadn't seen the automatics--I knew somebody would have the information. I don't get over to TW much.

A good rule of thumb is to have an extra batt and att someplace within reasonable reach (just in case)--doesn't have to be on you, just in a glove box or some such. the ego should be able to last you while out entertaining the masses......

[nana]

kitsune is right. You really should have an extra battery and atty close by. You never know when an atty will just up and die on you. And just when you're sure you have a fully charged battery...you will have forgotten that this is the one that will need to be charged soon. It just happens. Besides, batteries can go bad unexpectedly, too. Better to be safe than sorry. Like she said, you don't have to keep it on you, just close enough you can get to it quickly.

only have a couple pics--

This one is my VP-PT, standard 510, box mod, Ego

This one is my Ego with a cell phone lanyard attached.

Initially the Ego feels a bit heavier and bigger(than a cigarette)--but the weight and size soon becomes very natural.

How's come the pic is upside down?

[Ian]

your ego is hella cool with that charm. i think i might just be charming it up lol. thanks for the pic kitsune. just discovered t-tips. omg is there no end to this stuff!? hahaha kind of like it and kind of don't lol $$

[kitsune]

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping--endless supply of new toys and cool stuff. eventually the spending lessens--at least now I spend less than I did when I was smoking. I currently have a net savings. still manage to spend more than necessary however.

The drip tips are very nice--I am a new convert to using them--I like them alot !!

The cone holes cellphone charms very nicely. my other one has a wrist strap I stole off my camera.

The Journey has just begun......

oh really. what kind and what's the difference. feel free to tell me to shut up whenever

[kitsune]

unfortunately my links are on my home computer, but:

the twisted drip tips are from NHaler--they are a bit narrow at the middle and have to make sure the liquid drops to the atty or you end up sucking liquid-- but they really look so cool.

The second batch I got were from wordup (they are in the VT supplier list)--standard black--look much like the carts

Both have worked very well for me so far. However--I am fairly new to drip tips--others will have more info and whats best.

[nana]

I have several drip tips from several different places and don't really have a preference for any of them. As long as I don't have to remove a cart to drip, I'm a happy camper.
