The Ego's battery is about the same length, just a little fatter, then there is the eGo Mega battery which is slightly longer.. Plus it is compatible with the 510 atty's so those won't go to waste and you won't have to buy an adapter to use them (same goes for the cartridges and cartomizers). Also, if you have a pass-through for the 510, it will work on the eGo.
I was a 2 pack a day smoker and with the regular 510 I was going through like 7+ batteries a day.. With the eGo, 2 regular batteries get me through the day, and the Mega battery will get me through a day all by itself.
I own about 5 different models, have all of the accessories for each including pcc's etc.. and I have to say if you do not care that it does not look like a cigarette, the eGo is the best out there..
There are similar mods but that one appears to be the most reliable, and a kit can be picked up for like $45 or so. I think totally wicked is more expensive, but you do get their name stamped on it lol..
Plus if you use the cartomizers, it not only makes the e-cig shorter but also those equal like 5 regular cartridges in my opinion, so refilling is far less.. and on a drinking night, the mega atomizers totally rock (made my wife choke due to the amount of vapor lol.. but they hold like almost 3ml of liquid.. the one I am speaking of is the fat atomizer, not the longer 510 one.).
And only the button on the eGo lights up, which makes it more hidden.. so if you use it with a cartomizer, it will mostly fit in the palm of your hand.
I did order from totally wicked today, they are the only ones i have seen with a good PCC for the eGo so I picked up 2 of them.. (for long trips and shit)... I've ordered their flavoring to mix my own unflavored liquid I have stocked up on and other accy's before too (cartomizers, cartridges, etc), but for the most part their kits are over priced even with a coupon code.
I was going to go in on selling e-cigs with a partner, but we decided last month it might be better to wait and see what the FDA does.. I did not want to invest a good 10k between the 2 of us just to get started and then be stuck with the inventory (or worse yet have it seized like they did earlier this year)..
The FDA are just a bunch of assholes pretending to be worried about us and telling us to go back to smoking cigarettes until they decide if e-cigs are safe.. lmfao.. it sounds even more stupid every time i say that lol.. They could at least be honest and say we need tax dollars, and big tobacco and pharmaceutical companies are paying for our vacations, so if you all die, we are sorry. The lil fuckers should probably be focusing on eggs and shit...

That's what is nice about these Hello016 batteries. If I forget to swap batteries when I wake up, and remember when I'm out somewhere... I can still make it through a SECOND day if I go easy on it.
From what I've been told, no one can make a long life battery for what we're asking of them. Atomizers pretty much present a dead ass short to the battery. We're lucky they're lasting months at a time. For me, I figure on buying one new Hello016 per month (I'll need FAR FAR less than that) and treat them as being disposable. Like atomizers, I figure on needing one a week .. eight bucks .. and this one has lasted a month.
The trick to 510s is getting REAL JOYE atomizers. My father got a "510" locally and it looked exactly like mine but produced ZERO vapor.
I think if the government manages to fuck us out of them, it'll be like prohibition on steroids. The American public is just in NO MOOD for their shit, especially right now... What can they really do, make nicotine a schedule drug? HA... then they can't sell their cigarettes ... oops .. and if you look at the studies, they found slight trace amounts of what is it DEG in one of nineteen e-cigs they tested?
And cigarettes have many times that amount anyway? Then they try to scare us away from PG which is used in smoke machines and has been used in theaters and hospitals to keep the air free of germs? Oh but that is what is in anti-freeze..... Yeah, they put it in there to make the NON TOXIC drinkable anti-freeze. ... also used in snow cones ..
Nah I don't think they'll get us, this time.
My only worry is
what the fuck would we do with 500k extra people not dying every year... if smokers all went to vaping?!
As an aside ... you've got to try making your own e-juice ... I can make anywhere from 5mg to 75mg .. 36 is the max you want to go. You buy the base nicotine juice in 50 or 100mg strength and cut it down however you want
Example, right now I'm vaping maybe 20 drops 100mg nic juice, 30 drops vg and 30 drops of flavoring. It's knocking me on my ass without overdosing me on the nicotine.... Got to try making your own man
