I'm pretty new to vaping and i bought an Ego 1100mah passthrough battery with CE5 rebuildable tank. I'm wondering if my battery is genuine or fake because when i surf the net for info about ego batteries i noticed that some have blue and orange LEDs but mine only have blue, so i just want to know if what i bought was fake/authentic or O.E.M. ?? Another thing, is there a way to change the battery inside an ego battery?
"EGO" isn't really a brand name. It's just the type of battery. EGOs are 510 threaded with EGO cone threading, which means anything with 510 type threads will screw onto it, and anything with EGO cone threading will only fit onto an EGO type battery. There are MANY MANY MANY kinds of EGO batteries with different buttons, different mAhs, different wattage/voltage, some VV/VW some not. If you can screw a CE5 clearomizer onto it and it works, then its a genuine EGO style battery. If it has a brand name on it, I can't tell you if its genuine or not. But I have two EGO 1100 mAh batteries I got from an online retailer for dirt cheap, and they work just fine.
As to your second question: No. Ego batteries are complete, assembled batteries. I suppose you could dismantle it and replace the lithium cells inside if you know how to mess with that kind of thing, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are designed to be good for about 600-800 full charges and then be discarded and replaced. Taking the tank off your battery is just like taking the battery out of your cell phone. You can't open the battery more and put a couple AAA batteries in it and put it back in. It's a complete battery all on its own.
