Hi I can't post in other forums as I'm a new member, well not that new but this my fist post.
Anyway back to the point, at the moment I'm using an small e-cigarette called "express" now. I'm pretty pleased with it but want to move to a bigger battery. And I want it to be without button so I read about the ECHO, most seems very pleased with it so maybe I go get it. Whats your option is it a good choice?

Sure, if you don't like buttons and want a great vape, the echo is probably the one for you. The only drawback is you won't be dripping with it too much as you can easily kill the battery with dripping. You'll probably want to get a riva kit or similar for testing new juices. I use manual batts like riva 1100s and Kgo 1100s and use the echo carto on those.

It's an excellent choice, the Auto Batt is the best Auto I have used and the cartos are dam good, they hold 3ml's of liquid and with one charged Batt and one full carto your good all day or can puff away like a locomotive until you vape your carto dry. You wont go wrong buying this unit at all go for it..!!!

I just started vaping 3 days ago. I thought about getting the echo, but decided on going with Riva instead. Its the same model but with a manual battery and can fit the new echo-e carto's.

Having a manual battery is very nice imo. I like to preheat the atomizer in it couple secs before i hit it and gives a great hit every time. It becomes second nature in just a few hours and you don't even realize you are doing it.

Also having the manual battery will let you drip later to test flavors out on if you choose to because the battery is sealed.

the echo is little on the big side, especially if you have been using an analog lookalike but obviously the size comes with benefits. the battery lasts a long time and the cartos are really good. the automatic battery DOES NOT need a primer puff to deliver a good hit, its the same from the first inhale to the 1175th inhale. i love this thing, the only drawback on the echo is the time it takes to charge the battery. from completely empty to completely full=9 hrs.
you wont go wrong ordering the echo. good choice!

Hi, I am new to ecigs and this is my first post. I got a smoketip 2 weeks ago, then found this forum. Wish I had found it first. Not real happy with the smoketip. Read about how to clean and refill the carts and ordered some juice. Some from Goodejuice and some from BWB. Got the Goodejuice yesterday and did my first refill. Not too difficult and WOW what a difference. I have been reading about the Echo on the echo thread. Decided to get one as it sounded like just what I want. Ordered from Cropduster yesterday. However I am now concerned about the juice I ordered. I have noticed some posts on the echo thread as to how some juices are not working well. My Goodejuices are 50/50 and I do not know what the BWB ones are. I do not have much money and do not want to ruin my cartos out of the box when I get them. Any input would be appreciated. I read about how to clean them but I am not sure these old fingers will be very good at it...LOL.

I've got the Igo, Ego T, a Reo Woodvil, a Kgo.
As for the Igo i liked it, once i found out that if you fluff the filling with a large sewing needle, your vapor and the flavor really shines thru.
Liked the Ego, kgo and ego t, but nothing special', they were my newbie firsts'.
Of course the Reo Woodvil is the Rolls Royce of all E cigs, I use it the most, when i'm at home, but the ECHO is theee best for an all day on the go, out and about E cig., There is just no comparison to all the other similar black stick/ e cigs. The echo is awesome, the best way to describe it, is that it feels like an updated, upgraded version of the igo. i happen to love the automatic battery. and it fits perfect in those leather lanyard/necklaces. ...I keep feeling for the button all the time..i'm so use to the Igo that way'.

Oh and i was pleasantly surprised to find out that the whistle tips that come with the Echo, fit the Igo perfectly and vice versa. nice bonus'.

When i'm in the mood for a serious strong, wallop of vapor and throat kick, its the Reo Woodvil all the way, but when i'm into all day chain vaping, the Echo is my new toy.

I have been vaping since early April, and I’ve been using an Echo for the last few weeks. So far, it seems like a great PV. The automatic battery works flawlessly. Flavor is impressive, clean and consistent. The 3ml cartomizers last a long time between very simple refills. Starter kits and replacement cartos are reasonably priced.

I’ve mostly used BWB juices (70/30 PG/VG) in my echo cartomizers, and I haven’t had any problems so far. I suspect my BWB Malty Toffee (30/70 PG/VG) may gunk up a carto sooner than other juices, but I’ve vaped 6mls of it without issue. (Not a lot, I know, but other posts have mentioned problems with high-VG from the first draw.)


As always, YMMV--Please remember I’ve only had this kit for a few weeks. Still, it is a very promising PV for those seeking a simple, effective set-up.

Thanks, FlipnOut. This seems like a great community, and it has already proven a solid guide to the world of vaping. I've lurked for a bit, learned a lot, and decided to break with personal tradition and actually join this site.

I was a bit hesitant to post about the Echo, since I haven't had it long. However, getting it and my first order of Backwoods Brew on the same day was like winning the vaping lotto. My overall experience was totally elevated, and I finally found a simple-enough-for-anyone kit that really performs.
