Ego-C disappointment

[golfsferr]

I've purchased several Ego-C's from egicbestsave.com over the last year. I'm starting to think I need to try something new. I've actually had 6 Ego-C batteries, 2 - 1000 mAh standard battery, 2 - 900 mAh adjustable voltage, and now 2 - 900 mAh VV LCD models. The best feature about them was being able to turn it off and not risk accidental use. The LCD models do not turn off. I emailed ecigbestsave.com and expressed my disappointment in the missing feature and they said, fine send them back and will charge you a 25% restocking fee. Come ON! they didn't make that clear in their ad, that they don't turn off and I've been a pretty good customer. Plus non of them have been very reliable. They get excessively hot, short out and require a recharge which brings them back for a short time or a long time, it's kind of a crap shoot, and generally don't really have a good long life. The LCD's are already acting funny in that the LCD window immediately after charging. drops a bar and quickly goes down to 2 bars only to jump up to 4 bars later. So I'm ready to try something simlar but better made and more reliable. Does anyone have a suggestion on a model and dealer. Thanks for your opinions.

Vamo baby.

Never had an issue with any of my authentic ego c twists or ego c. Sorry that u are mate.

Did I mention Vamo.

Or if u have some bucks laying around a nice Provari?

Several very good and inexpensive PV's out there as well, Evic comes to mine or innokin.

Oh and let's not forget the Vamo.....Vamo....Vamo. Great unit for the price u well be very happy.

I second the VAMO. Fixed eGo's are the weakest voltage battery on the market. Variable eGo's have the weakest switch regulator. All that and you still have to pay $25+ for the batteries. Vamo (and similar models) batteries run about $11.

If you want to stay with the "eGo style" get real Joytech or Vision batteries. The "fake" ones are crap.

If you can afford to invest in the batteries and charger, VAMO is a good choice, Sig Zmax cost a little more but is a another good choice. If you want to continue using ego style vv, stick with either the Joyetech Twist or Vision Spinner. They have VV and the five click on and off feature. I would also consider a different vendor, a 25% restock charge makes me think they will resell your now used batteries as new. When I buy something new, I want new, not a return from someone else.

as more and more stores pop up i would think you might have one in your area. I would go there and buy. I pay a little more, but no shipping so it works out. if i have an issue i have someone to talk to. they are good to deal with because they are new and normally you are talking to the owner or he is close by. Plus, you are helping someone in your area be sucessful. Everyone needs help. feels good to shop local.

Thats a good point, about reselling however in this case they hadn't been used yet other than to figure out there was no shut off!
So they could have resold these and made an extra 25%. Shame on them!

Well I got my Vamo and what a beast! I'm not sure about all the setting choices. I have to assume more volts and watts means more vapor but the battery life would suffer or does it? Which one Watts, or volts is the most influencial on the device and what are some recommended settings? Thanks, for the suggestion for a Vamo.
