    HelloTech 016's (like eGo but 1200mah batt)

    Hey Tex... What you describe, is what appears to be one of the varying issues when using the wall charger. Try to charge over night on just the usb charger in a lap top port and see if the charge lasts longer. That should tell you better if it's the battery itself or that your charger is wonky.

    Maybe a silly question about the cartos.

    Hoog's minions gifted me 2 blank 510 cartomizors, and I fed them some juice but I'm wondering as a first time carto newb. Are they supposed to make that sizziling sound on the draw? it makes it both with the 016 and the passthrough with a coupler attached. Just is an odd sound as the carts...

    Site Down?

    I just gave the son of a customer of mine the Mad Vapes site today. He loved my Hello 016 and wanted to know where to get one.Hope he got through.

    Tired of swapping batteries

    Go to the Mad Vapes forum and read up on the HelloTech 016. A 1300mah all day and night battery. There is tons of info on it,, and eGo users have retired them in favor of the 016. Check it out.

    Once the charger issue is resolved I'll be looking to buy another 2 or 3 kits. I have some friends I want to gift them to.

    Maybe find out if they are willing to replace the wall chargers for those of us with faulty ones?

    The output on my wall adapter is only 1/2 amp. It's just not built to do the job right. Not hoog's fault in any way. He's not in control of what the manufacturer sends. I'm sure he's in touch with them to get this rectified. That's how I've heard he rolls.

    That seems to be the consensus.

    Don't bother...I tried that the other day and it didn't work but for the first drag, and then nothing. Mine shows an output of 500 mA so that is 1/2 amp. There are 1000 mA in 1 amp. Mystery seems solved. Hey hoog, what do some of the rest of the chargers say?

    HelloTech 016's (like eGo but 1200mah batt)

    After last night's experiment I tend to agree. I don't have any other AC to USB adapter to confirm it with. There in lies the problem. I'd really like to test the theory with a higher quality AC/USB wall unit to see if I'm right. But for now, I'll just tap into my laptop to charge from now...

    I think I've isolated the issue. It's in the AC USB adapter. I powered off my computer last night, and was left to charge in the 2 piece charger. Plugged in the wall section, then the USB charger into that and screwed in the battery. Left on the charger all night, the LED was still red upon...

    Hello? Is anybody out there?

    I'd like to see it more active as well. I had computer problems there for a while, but I'm back.

    The battery appears to have charged up nicely again overnight. It wasn't fully spent when I put it on the charger, it lasted all day and night for me. 15.5 hours and was just starting to get a bit weaker. Today will be the big test, as my daughter, my youngest graduates HS. I thought last...

    My First Mod

    So anyway, going the "slow charge" route last night, I woke up to a green LED, and so far so good, the battery is producing great. (Although I'd forgotten how little juice stock round 510 carts hold, and the 901 carts do not hit the bridge of the cone atty on this MOD.) I'm keeping track on...

    HelloTech 016's (like eGo but 1200mah batt)

    Seeing as this is my first MOD, I don't have another mod's charging unit to go to. However, so far so good on the lap top USB charge from over night last night. Two hours and still going strong. I wonder if hoog would be willing to send a few of his stand alone AC to USB wall adapters out...

    My First Mod

    No I haven't tried a 808. Mostly because I have gotten away from stock batteries because I vape them dead before others are fully charged, and packing up a suitcase of chargers and supplies to go too and from work isn't appealing anymore. Also, the main reason I purchased this unit were the...

    Heya hoog, I think it's great that owners are spelling out the troubles they have, the time line of ownership, use and issues arising, so that the problems can be more easily pinpointed so the manufacturer can correct them. I doubt anyone holds you personally liable for a product you didn't...
