BCman,
This is new information for me. I have been using these LRs for months and had no issue with the batteries suddenly dying. ( until now that is. ) I bought these batteries 1) two were for my wife who was using my old 650's that are not charging as well as they used to ( over a year old ) and 2) I had an unfortunate incident where a button protector actually pressed the button until I smelled melted drip tip. Bad day lol.
So what kind of device would you recommend I use with 1.5's? I am considering a Provari but that can't happen until after Xmas. Or should I abandon 1.5's altogether? The bridge less Cisco specs from Avid Vaper are perfect lol. Great warm vapor with every drag.
Ego batteries have me scratching my head, for most they have great success with them, and for others nothing but bad luck, and most of the ones having bad luck are running LR from what ive seen.
With so many different brands and manufacturers, the principle of the ego style is obtained but every one has slight differences from material used to the chips in them, to the battery cells and to how their wired up inside.
Some are better then others but in the overall picture they all will fail and die at some given point as any battery will but its typicality not the battery that's the problem but the electronics inside that fail in some way or another.
Theres also the chance of a atty failing and dropping Resistance which appears to have been some peoples bad luck as every battery they connect it to and use it on dies, i think theres supposed to be some built-in protective circuit on the chips but it seems it isnt 100% effective...
Im sure some of the Vets here can chime in with far more detailed knowledge and correct me if im wrong as im not a electrician or certified in anyway but have a decent grapse of the basics.
In my opinion egos and slim ecigs are great affordable introductions to ecigs, but for the majority of us in it for the long haul at one point typically move to a more expensive solid unit that has incredible craftsmanship and near lifetime warranty because of that. At the other side, others are perfectly happy using the starter models forever....
As for recommendations thats the name of the game now isnt it, everyones gonna have their own opinion based off their experience, some are better then others but all seem to have pro's and con's depending on what your looking for.
Best thing you can do is determine what quality's your looking for in a ecig and research for one that fits.
Provari, Darwin, Buzz, Reos, and many others are definitively worth what they cost, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for...
Maybe you have a friend or someone you know that could print off what needs to be printed?
