I charged my ego this afternoon after getting it back and used it for the evening. After about a hour it stopped working. It won't take a charge and I know the carto is still good. The ego is only a week old. What in the world. This day has been a rollercoaster ride. I don't know how I am going to make it on one 510 battery. Someone point me in the direction of a decent mod that I can change the stupid battery in.

eGo seem to either go within a month or last forever or at least thats what mine have done. Contact whom you purchased that from, going in a week should be covered.
as far as mods....well the GLV2 is on sale now.

Did you check the batt connector for debris? It may have shorted, that's what happened to mine. Here is a mod I'm looking at, and a good deal from NHaler. The batts are common and readily available. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nhaler/113209-janty-stick-10440-imr-batteries.html
I've got one of those Low...it's a nice little mod
I like that it doubles as a PT. That is what I would use it for besides a back up. Seems a good deal, and I have another batt for it from a failed 510 PT.
I'd take another look at the Stick at nhaler. It's a good deal, and a true 3.7 volt device(unlike the eGos 3.1 volt)
Oh, sorry. Ya the price for just the body is pretty steep.
The Janty's a pretty nice little mod...and I wouldnt give up on eGo's yet either. Get that one replaced.

I think I will just hold out for the glv2. I like that I can make it anyvoltage I want. But what batteries do I need.

I have purchased all but one of my mods, in the classifieds. I think Mods are very personal, and since they are all so different, it's hard to tell what they will really be like, feel like, etc, until you actually hold one.
The mods go quickly in the classifieds, but as long as you check the feedback of the seller, I think you can find great deals there.
Sorry to hear about all your bad luck

Pope, I have an extra 510 battery if you want it, also you might want to check madvapes and their Hello016 it's like an ego but lasts twice to three times as long...it's a great little product. I don't have one but my friend does and she swears by it.
Have a great day!!!

GLV mini uses one 16340 for 3.7v
GLV can use a 16340 and a spacer, or an 17670(maybe) for 3.7v.
For 6v it can use 2x 3v 16340s (rcr123a) stacked.
For 5V it has a fixed resistor built into the device to drop the voltage off the 6v stack.
If you go with the 5V model you are pretty much stuck at 5V. Unless you purchase a different head/switch assembly to swap out. Additional head caps are $45
Madvapes has a few inexpensive box mods.
Custom Mods
They are not great, but if you are one a budget and don't want to build your own its a solid device for a very reasonable price. They ship from North Carolina and shipping is usually quick any where on the east coast.
Janty stick is not a bad choice. It seems to perform as expected for a battery of its size and capacity. I personally see no need in a mod with a smaller capacity than an ego. Couple that with the price tag and I've grown to despise this mod, but other people love it and speak highly of it.
Did you say you got your ego from Tasty Vapor? I'm not sure if Geoff is honoring warranties on parts anymore. Hopefully he'll help you out though. Geoff's a good guy. Those weren't egos then btw. They are knock offs. Riva's I believe. The knock offs have had more failures than real Joye Egos.

I see no reason to despise it, the replacement batts are like $5 ea, and it works as a PT also. It just is what it is. Takes up space and works fine.
I have both the Riva and the Ego, and although I don't use them on a regular basis, I haven't had any problems with either. (my Riva I got in the classifieds too, BTW)
I talked to tv they are going to replace it. Should buy me some time to get to a good mod. How big is the glv2 compared to the ego
