Not likely. If anything, it is the higher drain rate of the batt. higher mAh = less voltage drop.
Anyway, I never noticed difference of liquid consumption from the standard 510 and the eGo with the cone, only noticed it is warmer and gives a little more vapor, so it should consume more juice (more vapor -> more juice consumption). On the other hand, I've noticed that different liquids are consumed at different rates. Some giving more drags, some giving less.
Thud is absolutely correct with his definition.
Wrt the cone, because the airflow is somewhat restricted vapour production is increased. Wrt the cone keeping the heat in, yes it does that, but that is not what produces the warmth of the vapour. It is the preheating of the incoming air to the atomiser that increases efficiency, not to mentioned that coupled with the mAh rating of the batt, JoyE made a 510 on steroids.
Now, put on a 900 or even 1300mAh batt on your present eGo, with the same atty and watch your juice consumption increase.
Current delivery:
Just food for thought...

Current delivery:
- reg 510 180mAh = 0.18A
- mega atty 280mAh = 0.28A
- eGo 650mAh = 0.65A
- eGo 900mAh = 0.9A
- eGo 1000mAh = 1A and
- knock off 1300mAh = 1.3A
Just food for thought...
thanks for the input. yes, i blew the atty out, but man! it was still nasty for a few hours. rinsed it last night, and it's better. i did discover this am that one atty (the nasty one) is silver but it does not say LR on it anywhere. I bought from Puresmoker. Do they sell the original Ego?
i find that using LR atties makes me add one more drop per drip fill. hotter=more juice consumed.
... and that is correct as well. The atty is running hotter therefore greater consumption.
Yea, I noticed I blew through juice quicker w/ my 900mAh batt. I wonder what the mAh equivelent is of the eGo USB batt? I mean that, as it is discharged, it gets current from the USB port. Therefore, there should be much less voltage drop. Que no? It seems to hit harder plugged in. And I know it is regulated to 3.2ish v, so something is going on.
You are vaping off your battery, your USB post is merely keeping your battery charged, therefore you are vaping from 650mAh, please forget the 5V is does not play in the equation. Should you vape at a rate faster than the battery is being charged, your battery will in fact go dead (require a charging). That is also why when you are done vaping at the PC, your battery continues to charge until it is fully charged once again.
To test this theory out, start with a fresh battery and see how long it takes after you are done to completely charge it. I hope this helps.

so i'm reading that one really shouldn't use a lr atty on an ego battery (so why the heck do they put them in the kits?lol) so what king of battery would i need to use? one with a higher MaH than the 650 it came with?
Where are you reading that?? The eGo can handle LR's. That is all I use. Yes you will need to charge the batt more and effectively shorten its life because of increased charging cycles, but for the night and day difference between standard and LR ----- order me up some more batts. Personal preference here some people do not like the LR's but I really dig them.
Because vendors sell stuff and we as customers buy stuff. A simple question? Do you send anything in for repairs these days? No, why is that? We live in an RbyR society (repair by replacement) it is what keeps the economy going.
That being said you need a battery capable of producing at 2.5A of current, the eGo batt only produces 0.65A. Any IMR battery of 16430 size or higher will do nicely and the AW IMR 14500 the absolute minimum.
In all truth, the eGo is not capable of handling the load period. That being said many are using them and without any significant problems YET. I like the fact that you pointed out that battery life (whole battery life) will be significantly decrease with their use.
You are partially correct wrt shortening the life because of the increased charging cycles. In actual fact, by stressing any battery the rock content of the battery (a normal phenomenon of use) increases exponentially when stressed. battery rock content is the component in LI Ions that will no longer accept a charge, hence the decreased availability of power, until the battery is incapable of accepting a charge.
