Another EGO battery broken :( anything available similar?

My Ego twist has died (11-04-14 - R.I.P)

So my Ego-T stopped working last week, the light was lighting up but nothing when connected to a ego. So i took it apart and it seems the red wire come lose form the positive post...So i tried soldering it back in which is a fiddly job! but did it and it worked for a week then went again yesterday.....This time a lot more wires come off the board i think due to me spinning the head when having a evod attached...

Anyway.. this is my second ego that has gone because of wiring.

Is there anything that can replace the EGO (twist) reason i like them so much is battery life and portability but the build quality as pants!! (by the way they were both from FT so not sure if that's the reason?)

Also like them because I can fit 2 of them in my carry case a long with 3-4 evod heads, having a mod is too large to carry round and I have the risk of loosing it on a night out!

Ideas please

I think they're just too long that they're not pocket friendly. If you can make due with 800Mah, the InnokinVV-V3 has 5 rivets holding the head on.

I'm sure there's many options out there, just depends on what your priorities are in a PV.

Well....

This is what i carry around with me EVERYWHERE! when I get to work/office i use my EVOD on a sigelei vmax but it's far to large for my carry case and valuable.

When I get home I mainly use what's in my case, the EGO-Twist and the ego standard as a back up.

I want to ideally replace it the ego twist so like £6-7 from FT so I wasn't worrying about losing my case on a night out (not happened as of yet but you never know!)


I was also thinking can you get a VW casing which would take a rechargeable AA type battery? so i have one of them and say 2-3 spare batteries in my case.

The casing mod would have to be the same sort of size as the AA battery.

this sort of battery: 18650 - 2600mAh Rechargeable Lithium ion Battery

something like this:

$19.64 JM Style Mechanical Mod Kit - 18350&18500&18650 tubes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It's about £11 but just a VW version.

I also have 3 IMR 18350 800mAh 3.7 batteries which i use for my Sigelei

 

[djsvapour]

Innokin iTasteVV

Vision Spinner

Evod "Twist".


All from myepack, obviously....


Most of my mods use the 18650 batteries. I have Vamo V5 and SID and three mechanicals (sometimes with a kick).

Hard to choose between them, they are all good. The only mod I no longer use is the Joyetech evic as it's dead... waste of money....

There used to be a Joyetech 18650 mod tube which came with a control head... now, I have one of those and it's really quite good - less to go wrong you see. I don't use it much as it's not VV/VW but with a 1.5ohm clearomiser (using the regulated 3.3v mode) it's a terrific vape.

let me see if I can find it...

That's a plain mechanical mod, isn't it? or do you mean "like this one, only VW"...

 

[Bubblegum]

only thing on FT i can see is the Vamo 2

$25.14 Vamo V2 Variable Volt/Watt APV - black / VV / VW / aluminium alloy at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Not sure how thick it is though compared to a EGO battery.

what do you guys use when your out and about?

 

[djsvapour]

Found something..

Genuine Joyetech NEW eGo-T MOD : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

NOT VV/VW, but that's what I was talking about before...

For example if i'm out with mates,

I take my Ego Twist and 2 evod heads and maybe the Ego battery standard in my pocket. with pre filled evod tanks

I don't think that's VW?? Good idea tho, and it's nice. How about getting that, use your short 18350's, and instead of having a VV-VW head- do it the old fashion way and use different OHM heads to vary your output?

It could be much shorter that way.

haha that's smart quite small!!

 

[djsvapour]

Oh, Vamo!


I have the V5. They are BIG, but not rediculous in 18350 mode.

That's the problem i really like having the VW option. Rather just carry 1-2 evod heads than loads of Ohms on (because i forget what ohms each one is lol)

Do you take that bad boy out or is it for at home vaping

 

[r77r7r]

How about that mech you saw at Fastech.........plus a VW Kick ( from fasttech)?

How about an MVP???

 

[Bubblegum]

I'm just tempted to get what i have got again but 2!

$12.25 EGO-C Twist 1100mAh Variable Voltage Rechargeable Battery - lime green / 3.2-4.8V at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Link please mate because i have no idea what your talking about

It needs to be cheap and disposable so I'm pretty much looking at the EVOD twist again from FT aint i LOL

 

[Bubblegum]

I have this already as a "HIGH END" mod.

It's just too bulky and heavy for my carry case lol

 

[r77r7r]

An MVP might be out of your price range then. It's a tough VW box mod.

Maybe someone could show you a slightly better battery @Fastech??

When folks wake up around here, lol.

My Ego twist has died (11-04-14 - R.I.P)

How long have you had it?

I've had two, going on three months now & they've been dependable & reliable. But they were cheap, $10 with a CE4 & usb charger. Looking for something new, I bought an ego-V & an xFire, e-Fire (it was just too cool), but I still use my ego most often. The 650 mah batteries are the perfect size for me. I can stick them in my shirt pocket, or my pants pocket & it's not much different than carrying a pen... a heavy pen, but a pen just the same.

If I end up having to buy another after three months, I'm not too worried about it. $10 for three months, I can live with that.
