Just the battery life. However, it also depends on whether you are talking about eGo or a mod. eGo, Riva, and Hello 016 are all, as far as I know, 3.4 or 3.2 volt. Mods are usually 3.7v, unless you deliberately go for a 5v or 6v mod, which uses more than a single battery. That does not sound like much difference, .3 or .5v, but most find it does increase vapor production. (But may diminish flavor slightly, and be more prone to a burnt taste, depending on how careful you are to keep the atty or carto wet.)
All batts also have some voltage drop near the end of the stored energy, and vapor drops off.

Yes, the 900 does take longer to charge. Was charging my 900 and had to keep checking it, took way over 2hrs to charge. My ego normally takes just over 1 1/2 hr, so I was starting to get worried that the 900 battery was going bad. Finally went green.

LOL Yes, it is true. But that was the only thing I could think of as a drawback to the higher mAh battery in this case.

I got my first 900ma eGo batteries yesterday after using the standard one's for several months. The slightly larger size, to me at least, is hardly even noticeable unless I lay it next to one of the 650's. If some battery fairy came in the night and swapped my 650's for 900's I wouldn't have noticed were it not for better charge life and the slightly longer charge time required.

Oh, I find the 900's a little unbalanced on the eGo, they are quite long.
That why I'm switching to the longer maga 510 atty/cart, looks better and holds more juice. The ego big atty is alright too, but leaky, always got to reminder to NOT set it down on the battery head.
