3puffs and a 5 volt eGo battery?

[rolandpibb]

So, what's the deal?

They have 5 volt eGo batteries listed in their site. Is that right, does eGo make a 5 volt? A cheap 5v batt with 510 threading would be nice.

I noticed that this question was raised a number of times in their Canada suppliers thread, but it is now locked with no answers....

I say typo? even though it on all their ego products x_x

I've seen a few of these threads come up before ( not with 3puffs ) and they all end the same way, it's not a 5v ego. The last one posted ( can't find the post ) someone bought it, and it ended up being an ego rip off, that was 3.2v ( or whatever the normal voltage is ) and had a 3 second cut off.

I wouldn't go anywhere near this one, as with all of the other 5v ego sites, there is no description, and you would expect if they actually knew what they were talking about they would have something like "Giant boost on the old school ego!".

Of course I could be wrong, but I'm not going to put my money up to test it

I asked about the 5volt ego a few times and was ignored then the thread was closed. No business from me if thats how they deal with customers. I asked two simple questions: Has the battery been tested on a multimeter? What were the results?

3puffs.com chose to ignore my question and close the thread.

I'd say that answers the question and any others we might have.

Yup. No business from me. Maybe taking one less "puff" will cause them to remember the customer.

Here's a review Kalojado did many moons ago. This one claims to be a 6 Volt ego, turned out to be poo.

Hi Folks.

Firstly let me apologize for closing the thread... other life issues have made me a bit less active in the forum than I'd like to be, and so I haven't really seen this thread until today. It wasn't our intention to close the thread with unanswered questions. I also did respond to Neon's question directly, but I'm guessing that it wasn't received (since this thread has been posted).

Sooooo. Question about voltage on batteries? All right, I've contacted my tech guy John to do a voltmeter test on it... and... his voltmeter is broken . Argh. Ok, so we owe you all a voltmeter test. Please give us a few days to get a more accurate description and details on our hardware. John is also an avid videographer, so I've asked if he has time, to do up a short video, and I hope he can come through.

In the meantime, I do have a buddy who's purchased our eGo-T, and confirmed the 12 second shutoff on the battery, and a nice heavy vapour being produced from a good deep drag. Regardless, we'll get a voltage rating for you all, and other specifics if you are interested... just let us know.

I apologize for not providing the customer service you expect.

Sincerely

Thanks for the reply Mark, kinda surprised you need a multimeter to tell us the voltage - the whole lineup is labeled 5V.. I'm no e-cig vendor, but I'd know whether my gear is HV or not (lol).

Since you answered Neon's question directly, what was the answer? (lol)

Not trying to ruffle feathers, but maybe elaborate on the product descriptions a little - looks like a bunch of product codes with no real specs. If I'm buying equipment I want to know how many volts, mAh, Ω, or whatever else is relevant. Otherwise it could be anything. Folks shouldn't have to rely on customer service for such basic information as a battery's voltage (lol).

If you're just trying to prey on the uninformed, then disregard this post and happy trails to you.

dopeh,

To answer your specific question about needing a multi-meter, a previous set of questions had "called into question" the rating on paper vs actual. We'd just be putting that issue to rest. And sure, I agree with you, a couple of items COULD be a bit more specific. Your comments are welcome.

Moved thread to the Canadian Suppier forum so the vendor can respond......

Thank you for following up. I did not get any PM's or answers though. Im excited to see the results

Standby, we'll try to get some results before end of day today.

Not sure if my last post was successful but this is what was said in essance.

Disected two eGo 5V batteries which our supplier sends us. Despite the advertised 5V on the eGo battery, they both measured in at 4.1V NOT 5V !!!

Interesting question ... who carries around a volt meter to test these things.

Thanks Neon for your question as this is something that would have gone unanswered. Now we all know...

Your welcome Neon, it was my pleasure.... I don't get out often having to work in corner desk with no windows and table full of junk. Maybe you guys can push Mark to let me out once in a while...lol.

Cheers,
