There is a serious design flaw with Bauway cartomizers which kills Ego type batteries, and probably standard 510 batteries as well. I have lost three new Ego batteries in the past few months, all due to Bauway cartomizers.
These cartomizers work fine for the first few days, then their resistance drops from their normal level (in the case of the last one 2.5 Ohms) down to 1.0 ohms or less. When this happens the Ego battery will activate by itself and you will not know it is on since the LED will not light up when this happens. You won't know until the cartomizer starts to smoke and your battery is dead.
I have been vaping for almost two years and have never had a problem with any other atomizer or cartomizer doing this, including Bauway atomizers. I have used Joye, Bauway, DSE, and SLB normal atomizers as well as Joye and Bayway LR atomizers on my Ego batteries with no issues at all. I have one Ego battery that is now 5 months old that has been used exclusively with LR attys (Joye and Bauway) and still works great. I have also used both Joye and Boge cartomizers for months with zero issues.
I would suggest that nobody use these things, even with a manual switch battery mod. Even though they won't cause those mods to turn on, they are still going to kill the batteries much faster than will a normally functioning cartomizer. They are a defective product and should not be sold.
The reason I say this is because I was one of the reasons MadVapes added the LR disclaimers to their web site, and the big discussion started here about LR and Egos. I had purchased a pack of LR Bauways cartomizers which killed two brand new batteries and MadVapes tech support told me it was because the Ego can't use LR atomizers/cartomizers. The next time I ordered I purchased a pack of the 2.5 Ohm Bauways and within a few days of using them I had another dead battery. I had it in my hand at the time - light off, cartomizer bubbling and smoking - there is no doubt in my mind about what happened.
I know MadVapes says "no warranties" on cartomizers but these things are defective and are Ego killers. This has cost me the $18 I spent on the two packs of defective cartomizers as well as $60 in Ego batteries. I would like to exchange these Bauway cartomizers for Boges or store credit but MadVapes has not replied to my trouble ticket yet (opened Friday at noon). After three dead batteries I don't think I am asking too much by just wanting these exchanged for some that won't destroy my equipment.
Will someone at MadVapes please reply to this message or my trouble ticket. I have been a customer for a long time and have referred MANY clients to you. I'd appreciate it if you could do something to rectify this situation, I don't think I am being unreasonable.

Maybe everyone should switch
