Are we afraid of this thread?
Is it too sensitive for the vaping community?
Don't know the answer?
Don't care about the answer?
Are more interested in the latest juice flavor?
???

Well I'm not afraid nor over sensitive. But I don't have the answer nor would I consider myself an expert sufficient to make reasoned contribution on the hypothesis. But I would like to hear what other experts (not me but rocketman) have to say on the matter. On latest juice flavors, is there a deep fried ice cream (strawberry hopefully) anywhere?

izak,
At this point, a deficiency is unconfirmed.
Or which models may be have this alleged deficiency?
Or what is the new little thingy the manufacturer has put in the new improved safer model to reduce/eliminate this alleged deficiency?

and yes, the fix of this alleged, unconfirmed deficiency would beyond the scope of of this question/investigation.

Just asking what others think.

I have been able to severely overheat two regular 900mah eGos (on purpose).
but haven't been able to blow one up yet.

I was sent a 650mah eGo C to try and destroy but I failed :(
I ran a small current at voltages up to 6 volts into the eGo-C to see if it has the same Mosfet/substrate diode problem.
Current dropped to 1 or 2 ma amps when the cell got to 4.31 volts. About the same cutoff as a loose protected cell.

In fact very similar to a regular old protected Li-ion cell. Imagine that :)

THE NEW 650MAH EGO-C USES A PROTECTED LI-ION CELL
