Okay, I got a couple of these in the mail last week. eGo-T 1000mAh Battery

I haven't seen anywhere from U.S. suppliers that an genuine joyetech eGo batt comes in 1000mah, maybe I just missed it.

The letters "eGo-T" are a little bigger than on my 900mah batt that I got from VaporKings, and the button light is bright blue instead of clear. Are the made by joyetech? :unsure:

Just curious, they work great so far and otherwise look the same. For this price and free shipping, I don't really care who makes it, as long as it works well. :thumb:

Actually, I had gotten 3 new batts, not 2. I started rotating in the new ego 1000 mah batts, wanted to be sure of quality, since GreenHouseOne has a 30 day guarantee. After fully charged the 1st time, they seems okay. I didn't actually time them, they seemed perhaps to last a bit less time than my 900 mah batts, but can't say for sure.

After the 2nd recharge, 2 of them are undependable. #1 quit are hour in after the 2nd charge. #2 only held its 2nd charge for about 1/2 hour. #3 is still on its 1st charge. Whatever the outcome of #3, I am sending all 3 batts back. I'm not convinced they are genuine joyetech. Could they all be from a bad batch? I dunno, maybe... Whadya think?

I think it's odd that they have larger lettering on the batt and the bright blue light, my Joyetech batts have a clear light and smaller lettering.

Those GH1 batteries that you provided the link for are NOT Joyetech batteries, My4Jewels. They are made for GH1 by a specific manufacturer.

Later this month, GH1 will be carrying real Joye batteries again, I was told.

FWIW, I have used a rotation of 3 1000 mah Joye batteries for nearly 8 months now. Only recently have they started to wane just a little, duration of use-wise. Not a single switch problem here either. I'll be picking up more of the real Joyes when they are available and at that time I will try out 1 or 2 of the *other* batteries. But, I'm pretty much convinced that Joyes are the hands down best batts.

GH1 used to sell the Joyes and they were much less expensive than anywhere else.

The new Riva batteries being sold at LibertyFlights look promising too...

Thanks, tybin and Richie. I have a Joye 650 passthrough, and I really like it also, although I like something longer lasting if I am not at my computer. I just ordered 2 900 batts from VaporKings. I had some Vaporbux to spend, so I got them for just over $30 for both. I will keep my eye on GH1 for future Joye batts.

Is Cignot in the U.S.? They don't say in their info.
