Beginning of the End for My Egos

[DancingHeretik]

During my first several months vaping, I bought 17 Ego batteries of various sizes and colors. One I dropped and the end popped off. I gave it to my brother to try to fix. Four I've given away.

But, yesterday, for the first time, I lost one to age. My pretty purple 900 mah Ego battery just plain wore out. Well, it wasn't actually totally dead yet. But, it was coming close enough to not be of much use anymore.

I'm used to 510 batteries giving out. But, this is the first Ego battery I've ever had that just plain wore out.

It's the beginning of the end for my old Egos. They were all bought in a 4 month period about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. I see lots of trashcan-side funerals in the near future. So sad. An era is ending.

You going to buy a new one to replace it..??

sorry for your loss ♥

I haven't had any wear out yet, but I'm dreading it. I lost one when I dropped it and destroyed the button, but none have just stopped working. I think I'm going to save the dead ones and when I have enough, make a crafty piece of art for my desk. I'll definitely be ordering more twists when mine die. I love them.

Sorry yours are giving out, DancingHeretik.

Yes, it's always sad losing an old friend.

What?! Replace my pretty purple baby?!

I've got one that's more than a year old but I figure most are 6-9 months.

OP umm why would you buy 17 Egos lol?

i've got 4 and i some of them dont get used in a week

 

[DancingHeretik]

Sorry, bigcoop69. I just couldn't resist.

You're right. I'd better start thinking about replacing batteries since they're all about the same age. They could all go pretty soon!

. . . . I think I'm going to save the dead ones and when I have enough, make a crafty piece of art for my desk. . . . .

I'ld like to see that. Make sure to post pictures!

Like I said, mine are all 1 1/2 to 2 years old. The original 2 from my starter kit are still going strong. But, I never used those as much because they're the old style without 5-click on/off protection.

Why? Lots of colors!!!

Husband thinks it's silly to buy new batteries, just because I want a different color, or style, so I am always excited when one of our older ones starts to not hold a charge very well. This is my latest favorite pv combo. I have the twist in white in both 650 and 900 mah, and they look so cute with the white ceramic drip tip, and gunmetal artemas tank. I love shopping for vape stuff. When I was a smoker, all I got to hold onto was a smoldering paper tube, now I have a "fashion statement"! lol

Better play TAPS for those things.

I am sure my eGoT 1000mAH's are destined for the same fate as they all are...as we all are as well.

VAPE ON!!!

A moment of silence for the ego batteries, the unsung heroes of vaping.

Of course most of us do move on to bigger and better things, but I'm sure that for many of us here, the humble ego-style was a revelation.

A battery is a battery, they all die one day. I have 2 ego's and so far so good for about 2 months. I would venture to use the word "stellar performance", no complaints from me.

 

[Susaz]

It's nice to know how much they last. Of course, it all depends on usage. I have 4 vv, 2 Twist, 1 Spinner and a Kgo. I decided on an eVic because it's cheaper to buy a battery than a whole vv. Nevertheless every two or three months I buy one because I still use them with the PCC for going out.

Please announce the funeral time, date and location. I'd like to be there, and possibly say a few words, in the final remembrance.

Well put. I shall spare you the same fate I gave your cousin last week.

DH, da eGo has probably garnered more vapers than any other system within the past two years! Da 510s were da bees knees a few years ago. But I still provide eGo kits for my new v-verts.

I have a couple of my original eGo batts that still function and look like gnawed bones. Gotta luv 'em!!!

To ol' Purple...

 

[Grimwald]

At least you have time to say goodbye. It's sad when they go suddenly. It's even sadder when it's your fault (I swear I thought the coffee cup was empty).

Lovin my Joye Upgrade 650 PT's!!

Gave my 2yr old Riva egos to my sister a few weeks ago for a starter setup. Little sad, they were the 2 that got me off ciggies after 35 yrs.
