Well folks up next is the 510 ego-t kit... For this kit going to take a slightly different approach. With the Vgo being a kr808 connection, had no choice but to compare them to the V4L batts. This is a 510/ego-t type b (type a had a different shaped atty and a lot of issues, it has all but disappeared) connection. It would be unfair to compare it to a kr808 connection in terms of draw. The 510 is a stiffer draw by design. Will instead compare it to other ego kits I've tried.
This kit comes with 2 650mah ego-t batts. Each kit has it's own cone atty, and there are 5 tanks, and a fast usb charger. Mind you, these will not work with any of the cartos that V4L sells without an adapter. You can use 510 attys and cartos, and the aforementioned ego-t type b accessories. This is not genuine joyetech device, instead it is as advertised an unregulated ego. This means instead of it running at a regulated 3.2-3.4v (depending on the manufacturer) it runs freely. Off load charge on the first batt was 4.18v, the second 4.21v. Before I go into load voltages have to say this. One of the two attys was DOA. It registered at 14.5ohms on the multi, error messaged on the provari, and wouldn't fire on the ego-t. Sadly V4L doesn't sell replacements as of yet, so if this happens to you please bear with them until they get the atty's in stock. These too work with a spike on the atty to pierce a silicon cap on the tank (same fill/refill method as the aurora). One atty (sadly the DOA one) was able to puncture it without issue. The other, had to use the same tricks as the aurora. Had this issue in the past with other ego-t atty's so was no surprise here. The on load voltage with a 2.4ohm atty was 4.03v. Still a large voltage droop (yes that's the correct term), but it's above 4v at least. The battety features a rubber coating, a chrome finished end cap, and a black plastic button with an led behind it (mine are blue). Have the voltage numbers ready to go on this one (going to do a rerun on the vgo voltages this weekend, in my... nevermind, you don't want to know why). Using the 2.4ohm atty with chain vaping on the batt that started at 4.21v off load-
At start- 4.03, 3.95 (9min), 3.91 (18min), 3.86 (27min), 3.83 (36min), 3.78 (45min), 3.77 (54min), 3.75 (63min), 3.75 (72min), 3.74 (81min), 3.74 (90min), 3.74 (99min), 3.73 (108min), 3.73 (117min), 3.72 (126min), 3.72 (135min), 3.71 (144min), 3.71 (153min), 3.70 (162min), 3.70 (171min), 3.68 (180min), 3.68 (189min), 3.67 (198min), 3.67 (207min), 3.66 (216min), 3.64 (225min), 3.64 (234min), 3.64 (243min), 3.62 (252min), 3.62 (261min), 3.61 (270min), 3.61 (279min), 3.60 (288 min), 3.60 (297min), 3.58 (306min), 3.56 (315min), 3.55 (324min), 3.54 (333min), 3.53 (342min), 3.52 (351min), 3.5 (360min), 3.48 (369min), 3.46 (378min), 3.43 (387min), 3.41 (396min), 3.39 (405min), 3.35 (414min), 3.29 (423min), 3.23 (432min), 5 minutes later flashes from the button saying to charge the battery.
For 510 users you'll get a voltage bump using these in comparison to a regulated one at 3.2v. The draw is a tyical 510 draw, like that of a 100. Button on this one was far superior to that of the vgo, responded well and didn't stick. As I said, can be kinder to this one because in comparison to other ego's it's not that bad. It still suffers though from what every ego-t set up I've tried though. The flavor is there on the first puff, muted on the next 10, gone by the 15th. It's not designed for a chain vaper, the tank atty doesn't wick fast enough. Every third or fourth hit again was dry. Th was very weak (except on those dry hits, but that's not the type of th anyone wants to experience). All pitfalls to consider before purchasing.
Well that's it for now unless Santa brings anything else to V4L under the alternative kits section. For those happy with your V4L branded batts, wouldn't stres too much about these new kits. Yes you get more battery life out of the fat batts, but at the cost of performance. All comes down to where you are on the vaping hardware triangle. Voltage and airy draw fans, these kits aren't for you. Batt life and stiff draw fans, well here's the answer to your wishes for a fat batt. Now back to my king diamonds with a wow carto filled with nuport wow for a bit.
