Wizard, thanks for that picture. I was finally able to get a close to accurate measurement of my battery, as best as I can without a physical ruler, and I do have the 650.

Way too much trivia, but a dollar bill is 6 1/6" long and you can fold a dollar bill - I've used money to measure noncritical stuff lotsa times ;)

Back in the '70s I learned that five quarters weigh exactly one ounce and a nickel weighs exactly five grams. I won't share how I learned this, though :D

2600 mAh sounds great. But keep in mind that mAh is only part of the equation. As an analogy, mAh is just the size of the gas tank. It says nothing about horsepower, torque, or fuel economy.

batteries are a complete science of their own, and I won't go there on this thread. But I hate to see people waste money like I did. Bigger (mAh) is not necessarily better.

JJ :)

True! But the extra battery life is nice if the horsepower and torque are there!

Can't win if you don't play - they're all off until the 8th, though.

OK, I'll try to remember to contact them.

Not in production yet, but check this out - yeah, it kinda got me excited too. That would be a removable 18650 battery with an eGo switch that'll charge on a standard eGo charger :D

Is this the same thing sold by GoGoUSA?

It has a removable battery.

Yes, but the one healthcabin's advertising charges on an eGo charger as well - and an eGo charger puts out more juice than most of the cheap chargers that come with removable battery kits.

The Famcig link answers the question anyway - they've got a picture of a whole kit there, with an eGo charger in the box.

I like the idea that you could charge it like an ego, or you could swap the battery out, pop in a fresh battery, and put the old battery on a standard charger. It also says it has three voltages - but unfortunately, it doesn't say what. 3.2, 3.5, 3.7 is one thing. 3.7, 4, 4.3 would be something else. I suspect the first is much more likely.

That's REALLY cool! The one thing I don't care for with mods is having to take the battery out to recharge it.

Yeah, I want one - but I think I wanna stay married more than I want one and I've gotta cool it on the e-cig purchases for a bit :D

What I like about it is it's compatible with an eGo cone where an e-power isn't - so I can screw an EMDCC right on the thing ;)

I suspect you're right - if it had a boost circuit they'd be advertising it.

LOL I get caught up in the buying hype too and need to refrain. I wonder if the one at GoGoUSA is the same thing. He's selling it for $24.99 which doesn't seem bad if it can be charged on the eGo charger. It comes with a battery too.

Ended up pitching two brand new vz EMDCCs today. One worked fine but had a tight draw and just irritated me, its replacement had a blown coil out of the box. They've been great, and everybody has an off day so I'm not too worried :)

I just got my order of them today from VZ, and I'm hoping for better luck than that. It will be tomorrow before I can test any of them. I would consider 2 bad ones out of 10 to be completely unacceptable. Of course, I've grown accustomed to all of them working and lasting a long time. If they don't, I'll go back to the Ego-T Type B large tank (2 ml) after I use up what I have.

I hear you - I'm gonna assume it's a fluke and keep an eye on them. I can't be sure the two were out of the same lot as I took them out of the boxes and had them all mixed together in my vaping box - they could have been out of any one of three purchases. I think at least for the short term I'm gonna keep them in the boxes they come in so I can keep track.
