As some of you know, I have 650 chrome Echos. Just pulled the trigger on JohhnyBass's chrome 1300 echo kit. Now the wife and I can each have a 1300 with 2 backup 650s apiece. These work so well - I believe that this will be the ticket to get her to finally make the switch from analogs to PV only.

Copycat JP. lol Your pretty 650's made me want one too. I have a silver Riva 750 I can use the e-cartos on if I need a smaller one but I don't know if i can go back to pushing buttons again. lol

I received my echo this afternoon. I am absolutely loving it!! A huge step up from my Joye 510.

It is producing tons of WARM vapor. I didn't really consider warm vs cool vapor prior to this, but I am definitely liking the warm vapor. Even though the vapor is warm, the unit is staying completely cool.

I also love the draw it is effortless and very similar to a cig, but not too airy like the Joye 510 cartomizer that I tried.

The flavor is definitely stronger, I plan on cutting back on my DIY flavoring. After vaping for about an hour I noticed a head ache coming on, so I am cutting the nic level back as well.

The best thing though is the auto battery!! Evening though it's not dainty like my 510 the 650 really isn't all that big and it still has the pretty blue light!!

One more thing...the sound. It is super quiet which I love. No cracking, popping or gurgling!

So far it is love at first sight! I will continue to use my 510 for testing my flavors, but other than that the echo has become my new precious!!

LoL, perhaps It's just that great minds think alike. I know what you mean about the buttons. Love just reaching into my pocket and puff. Put it back and no worry about a non-intended button push.

I know what you mean, I've set my other PV's off in my front pocket before and all of a sudden you feel your leg getting warm, not fun especially when you're driving.lol

Just the guy I'm looking for, someone with both the 650 and 1300. I've had my 1300 for a couple of weeks now and loving it. Received my 650's today and am disappointed. The 650 requires a harder draw, and produces less vapor than the 1300. The 1300 fires with the slightest hint of a draw, but the 650 frequently doesn't fire at all without a good primer puff. Love the portability of the 650, but not impressed with it's performance (as compared to the 1300's). Have you noticed any difference in your's?

Will let you know Fri or Sat when the 1300s come in. I have not really noticed a hard draw though it's not an airy draw for me. A light pull will start it up but need a slightly harder pull to get better vapor & don't have to prime puff on mine - vapor is good but not room filling. I'll post back when I get my 1300s and compare.

couple of "complaints": the blue LED is obnoxiously bright and the mouth piece is little long for my taste. TX mentioned something about an 801 drip tip fitting on these (which is considerable shorter) so i ordered 3 of them. will report back when i get them.

Yes the 801 drip tip fits great and does shorten it too. You can also push the tip in farther past the normal stopping point. This not only shortens it but makes it much tighter and it won't come off. It is a little hard to get it to go in the first time but gets easier after you have removed it a few times .

First time I've seen an ego auto. They probably are like the other egos and are lower voltage than the echo. No way that I know of to measure it though. Good find though.

I couldn't for the life of me push the tip in any further than the 1st stop until today. All it takes is to push and twist at the same time. Pops right in. Much more secure that way.
