Yes they use 510 atomizers and carts will also take 510 cartomizers too. They also make some eGo Mega atomizers that take some Big carts. Another nice thing about the eGo. Really the only thing you need to watch out for is charging a regular 510 battery with the eGo charger it will fry the battery.
Your Welcome LindyLou.
Pretty sure you will be happy with the eGo. I switched from a 510 also and really like the extended battery life plus the other options you can do with it like running LR atties and the mega atomizers that take huge carts. Joye just came out with Cartomizers too for these one is a 510 and one is a huge size like the mega. Maybe it is me but i love having lots of options.
My wife and I have been using eGos for 4 or 5 months now. My only complaint is that the batteries aren't very reliable. We've fried about a dozen batteries. At $20 a pop, it adds up. We have yet to see a battery die a natural death - the electronics always burn out before the battery is used up. You need at least 2 or 3 spare batteries on-hand at all times. When they fix the batteries the eGo will be perfect.
No, I take that back. There is one more thing that needs to be fixed - the eGo needs a shutoff switch. It's way too easy to accidentally fire it in your pocket. Gives new meaning to "hot pockets".
All this being said, I'm still using an eGo. By the way, eGo, Tornado, and Riva are all basically the same with different branding.

KYFlyer - they now have a button cover for the eGo picture here several site now carry them!
KYFlyer: luv your avy! Oh - and check out the social forum for the KY group - look under bluegrass!
Will the eGo batts fit into a standard 510 charger as well, or would one have to buy a new charger too?
I started with a 510 and was happy with it. Then I got an eGo and now the 501 is the backup unit. Funny how quickly one gets over the it has to look, feel, be just like a cigarette. The Ego is the logical next step up from the 510.
The eGos need an eGo specific charger. They don't fit into many of the regular 510 chargers, and even if they do it takes forever for them to charge. Also, don't try to charge a regular 510 battery in an eGo charger, it will cook the battery.
Button cover for the battery prevents "hot pockets". Going through that many batteries is really unusual; is it an Ego knock-off?
Tornados and Egos. I've had failures with both. Maybe is has to do with the low res atomizers I'm using.
This is just one example of why I love this forum. Thanks Dark - I'm on it, and I'll definitely check out the KY group.
I don't know but I've been using the same 4 eGo batteries in rotation for months and have had no problems whatsover using standard resistance atomizers/cartomizers.
I'm at the end of my 4th month charging the same two 650mah Ego batteries every day. They still give me all day use between the two, even with the Ego mega cylinder atty. In fact, I haven't had an atty burn out yet either and I tend to pick one and use it every day instead of switching them around.
Just unscrew the atomizer one turn from the battery and it won't matter if the button gets pushed.
I know but that cone thing makes it a pain to unscrew the atty. Wow - I'm really lazy ain't I? I like the button cover idea - think I'll order a few. But thanks for the advice.
