So, Ive never done a review before, please be only semi kind 
I'm doing this because I haven't really seen any reviews on here on the new Ego Emode. I wanted to point out some of the positives and negatives I've found owning one for a week now.
The basics:
Battery life: I tend to be a minor chain vapor, but the battery power lasted me all day which was nice, as my Ego 1000mah's only tend to last me about 5-6 hours of use.
Size: With the clearomizer that was specifically made for it (but does work if attached to my old ego-c's too), the Emode is just a fraction of an inch over 7 inches long, about 2 1/2 inches in circumference. Without the clearomizer it's just a little under 5 inches.
Components: There are 4 main components to the AVP: Battery, Battery casing, the control head, and the clearomizer. All of the threading was easy to screw and no sharp edges or burrs in the metal. The control head has 510 threading as I believe all Ego products do.
WARNING!!!!!! The threading into the control head is below the level of the control head. This means that if you have a 510 atomizer/whatever you use, it must not have a skirt around the edges or it will not fit. It's kind of like the inverse of the 510 threading for the Evic or a normal Ego C. An Ego CC clearomizer will NOT thread onto the control head as an example.
EDIT: http://www.discountvapers.com/510-battery-to-ego/ you can use these to use skirted clearos and such.
The battery and battery casing are pretty standard for this kind of model AVP.
The control head is pretty easy to use and looks pretty solid. I'm kind of a klutz so this matters to me. It is kind of like an Evic and an Ego Twist had a baby. Standard Ego firing button with the 5 click on/off. If you hold the button when powered off, it will allow you to cycle through VV, VW, RVV, and RVW (and with the software I believe you can fine to 3 saved settings with RVV and RVW). It has a twist ring that goes from 3.3V/4.5W nine settings to 4.8V/9.7W, though there is one more setting between 3.3V/4.5W and 4.8V/9.7W which is higher than the last one, but is unfortunately unmarked. The ring can twist a full 360. It also has a computer/charging port just like the Evic. The plastic cap the comes on it is not attached like the Evic's was, so sadly I've already lost the cap.
The Clearomizer that is made for it seems interesting. Vapor and Flavor production are average IMO. The tank holds about 2ish ml's. The clearomizer has four components in and of it's self. It has a disconnecting drip tip, and it came with a chrome one, and a black plastic one. There is a small cap which the drip tip connects to that can also be unscrewed that covers the eliquid chamber. The eliquid chamber has three openings. Two one the sides for filling the eliquid, and a center, recessed hole for the vapor. Filling the small holes you will need either a syringe or a bottle with a tip. My 14 gauge needle worked fine, but my 16 worked better. If eliquid gets into the vapor chamber, the recessed nature of that opening is nice, because it will pool there instead of messing everywhere, and is easy to clean out with a q-tip.
One of the neat features of the clearomizer is a small hole on the side that allows you to customize how tight you want your draw to be. You can use the small tool that comes with the kit, or a small flathead screwdriver to turn the hole. If I remember right it it's facing up, it's a tight draw, down a very airy loose draw, and medium to either the left or right side.
The actual atomizer is new. It's called a C2 atomizer, and looks like a bigger cousin to the old C atomizer heads. It basically twist/clicks into place on the base of the clearomizer. This base can be unscrewed from the bottom of the eliquid chamber. The C2 head sits totally immersed in the eliquid in the chamber, so I've had to work hard to get a dry hit. But, with liquid in the chamber you can not unscrew this area without spilling liquid everywhere, so be warned.
I haven't taken apart a C2 atomizer yet to dig around, I'll do that when I get some replacement heads. The kit comes with 2 C2's.
Pros:
1. I have yet to have ANY leaking, or eliquid spurt into my mouth, which is awesome, as I've had a lot of problems with that with other clearomizers and tanks.
2. It's much more rugged than the Evic. My Evic took a spill out of my pocket one day and fell on the control head and split it open at the top, ripped some wires, and cracked the screen. Dead Evic. I find it hard to believe this one is so easily breakable.
3. Not as bulky as the Evic.
4. Good battery life even with semi heavy use.
5. Easy to use.
Cons:
1. Sometimes the clearomizer gurgles a lot. Generally I've found that if I stop vaping for 3 or 4 minutes, leave it sitting upright, when I come back this stops. It only tends to restart after I've added more eliquid to the chamber or if I have the VV/VW set to the lowest setting.
2. You cant see all of the eliquid in the chamber, as technically the chamber goes all the way down to immerse the atomizer. When it gets low you have to turn the Emode on it's side to see how much liquid is remaining.
3. When chain vaping the clearomizer and control head can get pretty warm. Not uncomfortable, but enough to make my hand a little sweaty.
4. You cant dial in exact Volts/Watts like I can on the Evic at a moments notice. This AVP does not have a digital screen like the Evic. You would have to connect it to your computer with the MVP software to do this, but the spinner is good for me.
5. The recessed 510 threads. This is a serious design flaw IMO. Now half of the tanks and clearomizers I have will not work with this AVP.
I hope this is helpful to you all!
