They do make a Stardust for the Echo, and of course you can always use adapters. The one on the left is an Echo with an Echo Cartomizer, the one on the right has a 510 adapter and an eGo-C atomizer and the one on the bottom is a Stardust. :D The eGo-C has a slight whistle to it due to the adapter, but it hits very well.

The Sidesho isn't powerful. It is the same diameter as the original Blu or Volcano, but it's a 180 mAh battery. I love it because the draw is super light; if you're looking to replicate the cigarette smoking experience then the Sidesho is the closest I've found to that. Though I haven't tried the eRoll yet. ;) And you're right, it isn't "sealed". I haven't heard of a sealed 510 yet, but I'm not a huge fan of sealed batteries anyway. I prefer the more open draw a good, unsealed battery gives. The Echo is sealed, but it still has a good draw. It's more like puffing on a pipe or a cigar though.

you're saying you can't use clearos on the echo? if so, eh, it's out for me.
as for the sidesho - are you saying it's a really powerful stick battery because if you are, that's exciting!! is it an 808 or 510 connection? and also, where'd you get it from?

The only clearo they make with a flat 808 connection for fat batts is the ce4/turbo. You can use any slim clearo on them. I'm hoping that since v4l uses a flat connection, more will be available soon.

For the 510-ers out there, the only 510 fat bat auto I've tried that comes close to echo quality in draw and responsiveness (and price) is this from Mtn Vapor. Auto Ego Battery
It is NOT sealed but the hole is super tiny. I only use it for things like the kanger T3. For anyone that uses them, they know they can be great one second and all of a sudden get drippy. I haven't managed to hurt this battery and there have been times I pulled it out of my pocket and the t3 is sounding like I'm sucking on a near empty soda through a straw.

I have a manual. It's for coil cleaning. LOL!

It's a great, woefully under-looked automatic. It's biggest downfall is that it is a flat-topped 808, so hardware is pretty limited. Still, I have 3 different dripping setups for it, and it has the second smoothest draw of any automatic I've yet to try. Smoother than the Volt or most any stick battery on the market now. The only thing with a smoother draw is the Sidesho. :D

Can you put an 808 to 510 or ego adapter on it?

Well, I'm sure you can, but will it work? :p

I use m3's on my auto 808's and until recently they were amazing. They suddenly started having a really tight draw. I've been using volts but then i thought maybe all my volts were malfunctioning so found a great deal for 280 mah automatic kanger batteries which are 808 connections at 6.45 each. They're charging now. I also ordered t4's with 808 connections. Can't wait to try those. The biggest thing for me is throat hit and not a huge battery. Everlasting quest.

Yeah, it works just fine. See my above post with the photo. :D I drip on an eGo-C with it nearly every day. I haven't tried a T3 or anything like that with it, but Charlz has and says it works fine.

Though if anyone tries an eGo-C with it, you'll first have to drill out a hole at the base since they come sealed.

Thanks for the link to MV. The Echo is currently out of stock :( , have to keep an eye on it. The auto eGo appears to not be sealed, and it doesn't say about the Echo - but it is, right? Seems like I saw that bit of info somewhere...
The Echo is sealed, though I actually prefer the unsealed batteries. Thanks Charlz! :D

The eGo isn't. I've yet to hear of an unsealed automatic 510 battery. I don't think it's even possible with the 510.

That's a direct from China store. I haven't ordered from them, but I did order a kit from Top Vapors which is also Chinese. Great prices, but it took a month for the kit to reach me and I had no tracking once it left Chinese soil.

Mtn Vapor, Cropduster 901 and Northwest Vapors are the three best for the echo. I have also ordered from Vapor Girl and Nhaler but Nhalers price for kits are a little up there.
There was another site I found for Los Marauder months back that had a good selection of Echo gear, but like Northwest they only carry the stealth models. I can't remember the name of them though.

SmokTek also carries some Echo gear, but I think they are also out of stock on the batteries.

The only thing I would get from NHaler for the Echo is their CE4. They are the only vendor I've found with the CE4+ for the Echo with all 3 resistance heads. Everyone else only seems to offer one resistance, and it's probably 2.8 ohms.

I think you meant a sealed auto 510? Lots of unsealed ones around, although only, afaik, in stick style. Madvapes carries those in a "mega" 350 (or 380?) mah rating.

Thanks for the verification on the Echo being sealed. Yep, Smoktek is out of stock, and has been for a couple of months.

AFAIK, Smoketek stopped stocking echo batteries. Rob said one time that he wasn't a fan of the stealth and since Hangsen didn't make the led version anymore he was going to move away from them. They still offer a few accessories and those may be because they just haven't run out.

Tropicalvapors sells an led version they call an echo made by Vfast. They have kits, a 900mah battery and a 350 mini (not slim). It is sealed.

I just found out about this thread. I have been a big fan of autos since they came out with the second generation versions a couple of years ago. I vaped mainly the Echo for a couple of years but switched over to mainly VV-VW mods when all the new versions came out and all the good clearos were 510 threaded. I was never able to find a good reliable ego auto that could compare to the Echo. I recently purchased an Ego 1000 mah supposedly regulated at 3.9 v from Ikenvape that has worked very good so far. https://www.ikenvape.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=autogo I will see how it holds up. I use an Evod and a Kanger Mt3 with it and it is a very good vape. The only problem with using Kanger Evods and T3's with the autos is they have built-in driptips and you can't use a flat whistle tip with them for comfortable hands free vaping. Anyway nice to find a thread dedicated to auto batteries!:)

I liked the ones from Ikenvape so much I went back and bought 3 different times. They are excellent. The switch on these seem very responsive to me.
