My Tornado Review

[Dudeman]

Nice review. The more I see about the eGO/Tornado, the more I think it could end my "need" to keep trying to build the smallest 3.7v mod I can. (Of course, that's probably NOT going to be the case..lol)

Actually.. I am almost positive that the eGo comes with the fast charger.

Then I stand corrected.

I hope this is not stupid question. Being a Joye 510 user, I was wondering if I could just buy the tornado battery? Are the attys the same?

Thanks kevbow.

The ego or tornado will not fit on alot of chargers because of the cone threads. I have 2 different 510 chargers and my ego does not fit on either of them.

Right....

You can't just buy an eGo/Tornado battery and get the experience.

You'd need to buy the battery AND the cone (the cone isn't just for looks...). And then you'd need a way to charge them. You can get the battery extender from TW (and other places) and that will let you charge them on a standard 510 charger.. but it will take like 4+ hours for them to be completely charged. The special "rapid charger" knocks that down to 1-1.5 hours.

P.S. Personally I can vape an eGo battery down faster than the spare can charge on a standard 510 charger.

I ordered one. I want to see how good it is compared to my other mods.

With the cone sealing in the atty, wont you have leaks that pool up in there that you could normally identify otherwise?

Is it fairly easy to drip on it, or is the atty recessed below the cone?

You say it lasts you 10 hours, TW says it lasts 6 hours, and also says it lasts 8-12 hours. Im curious how long a normal 510 battery lasts you?

Normal: 180mah
Mega: 280 mah (i believe)
Tornado: 650 mah

based on mah it should last a little more than 3.5 times as long as a normal battery which would seem to be down closer to 4-5 hour range (for me at least).

The most interesting thing is the performance as you stated, that it is great from start to finish compared to the smaller batteries. Is this simply a function of a larger battery, load vs capacity?

Thanks for the review!
