Don't think so....at least, MINE don't.....
My light stays PALE BLUE/WHITE (like the "100-50%" pic) until it "hits bottom" -- then it flashes several times and goes out...
Recharge time!!
Looking at Vision Spinners next time around, with eGo's prices going up....!
I never thought to look at color after hitting button. Mine is always the light blue. Oh well wishful thinking.
I wish the Twist would go through the color changes as well. Really nice feature of the Joye eGo-c upgrade batts. The t upgrade has that as well.
Yes. Except for sometimes with one flavor - habana reserve - I'm in regulated mode. Coffee and espresso go on the Twist
I picked up a knock off 900mA that is silk screened "eGo -T" that measures 3.3V under load fully charged. I assumed it was unregulated. Are we saying here that most eGo's actually have a regulator, or is that the the nature of the battery that makes it seem to be regulated and measure 3.3 for most of its life cycle?
I only have experience with Halo which start out high at around 4V and drop down in voltage with use making it not regulated at all. I may buy a Evod because it is regulated at 3.7 (which is the voltage where my Halo seemed to work best) but now I am wondering that if this "eGo -T" is regulated at 3.3 and it vapes fine, maybe I'm ok.
So the question is, on the list in this thread, is "3.3 regulated" actual electronic regulation?

Some eGo's - Joyetech included run at 3.3-3.4V underload - the exception is the eGo-c upgrade that runs at 3.7V underload. The Rivas originally ran 3.4V underload, until the Riva SE which ran at 3.7V. Knockoffs/clones can be anywhere in that range.... Someone has contested the use of 'regulated' and 'unregulated' which normally refers to a non-proprietary battery's protection circuits.
Being in the electronic profession myself, regulated as far as voltage, would mean either a linear voltage regulator (that would need a higher voltage going into the circuit which these days does not have to be by much but may shunt some current to ground and waste power) or maybe a boost or PWM (pulse width modulated) type (that would require an oscillator and control circuit). Many batteries just keep a certain voltage naturally for most of its cycle. So I wonder what if any circuitry besides protection, charging and button control is in the various ego styles and my quest for a regulated battery is misinformed.
That is how Joye batteries work. They are a 3.7V batt but the voltage is 'regulated' to 3.3-3.4 Volts. I use the Joye eGo-c upgrade batteries, where you have a 'constant' mode at 3.3V and an 'variable' mode at 3.7V where the battery goes through the normal 3.7V curve - 4.2 off the charger, 3.6-3.8V for most of the charge and 3.2V at the end.
I'll change modes when needed. Some stronger flavors like the higher voltage but most flavors do well with the constant mode, depending on the coil of course. I use Kanger T3's with 1.8 ohms for tobacco flavors and 2.2 ohm coils for lighter flavors. Sometimes I'll use the 'variable' (not a true variable like the Twist) mode for coffee flavors which like the heat.

I put my 'no name' Ego-T on my scope today. To my amazement, there are square wave pulses. There is a peak that rides at 3.5 volts with narrow negative going pulses about 5uSec wide at a rate of about 8KHz. The pulses widened a little, about double, with a 12 ohm load.
Wow, I always assumed they were just batteries with circuits to turn it on and off. Interesting. So I would say. most of these are regulated.

As I understand it (not to your level) the 'pulse width modulation' PWM of eGos is why it takes more sophisticated meters to measure underload voltage. So you'll see on some meters sold that go between the batt and the coil/clearo, etc. that they'll say 'won't work with eGo type batts.'
thank you so much now i know what everyone is talking about, finally i know the difference between ego-t. and c mean wow ! also aqua vapor.com sells a 5pack of atomizers for 9.95
