Yes, the EPDCC does work on eGo batteries, it just looks funny but performs great.
Yes but it's not a terrible funny. I use mine with an extention on my Maxi Roughstack mostly for work. I love the capacity.
agreed ... not terribly funny looking at all on my ego's and kgo's. and the firing button clears the carto skirt with enough room to be able to press it without a problem.
thanks ... just what i was thinking, so it's close enough for me. all i need is that adapter, and i'll be able to use the epdcc on all my batts (not like i have a lot of batts, tho).
Would someone be as kind as to post some pictures of the ePower on an eGo and GoGo? Seems a lot easier than half a dozen posts trying to describe it... just sayin'
Here you go DarthVper...you can see that they are a little bigger in diameter than the battery and there is a small gap at the band. The battery is an eGo with battery life indicator at the bottom...has lights that lightup when you fire it...as the battery depletes, less lights...900mah.

I don't think those are ego batteries. If they were ego batteries, the EMDCC would fit right, and I dont' think real ego batteries have all that "stuff", like the lights you're describing.
They are showing the E-power Dual Coil, not the Ego Mega Dual Coil.
Whoooeeey that sure does look silly! Hmm I have a solution though. Somebody, make a KGO battery that's fatter! What, they do, and it's called a GoGo? Oh...
p.s. Seriously, I wouldn't mind carrying around something like that. I just have a few simple requirements for what I would use- cylindrical, no mods, nothing that even remotely looks like an IED, simple, and works.

That's an e-power mega dual coil cartomizer...not ego mega dual coil cartomizer. The e-powers are bigger in diameter than the EMDCC.
Here is the battery...it's the Vgo...same battery but has the addition of the battery indicator lights...same diameter and length of a 900mah ego. I no longer use eGo batteries...the plain simple ones. I like the added features. http://www.darthvapers.com/products/replacement-vgo-with-led-battery-indicator.html

A couple weeks ago I saw a 2600mah ego knockoff (I like the knockoffs better than the name brand)...it's being beta tested right now. I don't know if they will ever be released but I bet they are. People want them...healthcabin or heavengifts had them available if you spent $250 you could get one to try out. I don't remember which site it was and I just checked both and it's gone. I'm sure it will turn back up eventually...keep your eyes peeled.
Edit: It's healthcabin.

Any idea if it's unregulated or regulated? -- Most clones are not, but I'd sure hope a 2600 mah would be (unless they put an IMR battery in it - in which case, that would be good enough).
I have one, the XL1 chrome model.

They are regulated, 3.3X volts. They have a safety cutoff after being on for something like 12 seconds. They have the 5 click on 5 click off feature, like the Joye eGo-T batteries. It takes an 18650 battery, but the diameter cannot exceed 18 mm, and some do. It's a nice unit, especially handy for big cartos like the EMDCC. There's a top threaded cap that rises up to meet a carto's eGo style "skirt", for a very finished look. Then the sealed head with the button and internal electronics. There's a removable extension/adapter on mine, that ends in an eGo type 510 female. Then a closed tube with a small vent-hole at the bottom and a spring inside for the battery. The metal is strong, it's not paper-thin. No idea about the black one, the construction looks very different.
A big advantage is that an 18650 battery has so much umph that you can use any 18650 battery without worrying about high-drain. They will support a 2.0 or 1.5 Ohm burner, no problem, unlike some we know ;-). The regulator/switch works OK with such a load (so far). I mostly use it with an EMDCC (I wish it came in chrome) or a chrome Echo-E. With a Boge 2.0 on it it looks like a candle. It's a formidable weapon.

I have not tried it. I remove the 18650 and charge it in an external charger. I doubt an eGo charger, that puts out 300 mA (or is it 400 mA), is going to "do it justice", but I've never tried it.
But I'll say one thing: the EMDCC has met its match. It's a vapor monster combo. When I vape this puppy, it looks like a solar eclipse has started. And my original EMDCC is still tasting great, making volcanic vapor. At this rate, rotating with other kit, the 6 I bought might last me a year. But I chewed through the flat rubber tip. I liked it. Anybody know where to get replacements?
I'll put in a plug for an interesting device. The Vapage VMOD. If you toss the caca attys and cartos they ship it with, and make a little 1/16" hole at the very bottom of the wall of a Boge 2.0 carto, you can turn the Boge into a bottom fed divinity, with a 4 ml reservoir. Sure beats walking around with a tank. And everybody knows that Boges are nothing to sneeze at.

An eGo charger is 420mA - and you won't find many Li-ion chargers that put out > 500mA per channel. An eGo charger is actually hotter than the 350mA charger that's boxed in an ePower kit.
After some point I can't seem to determine increasing the charge current doesn't really decrease charge time - see
Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries
In any case, those universal chargers don't put out much current. You can charge a Li-ion battery at 0.5C-0.8C but the amp and a half or so it'd take to get an 18650 charging at 0.8C would just trip the protection circuit in a smaller battery.
edit: Also, unless the circuit board in the switch is designed to charge the battery it ain't gonna charge through the atomizer connector anyway

I just bought this one. For the life of me I couldn't remember if the battery was removable or not. Thank you for the link to the go-go site. I hope it's better than the "you know what" model that is already out...I'm not impressed with that one and I have all 3 models. I have a bunch of EPDCC's and I'm keeping my paws crossed that it will run them without kicking in the circuit protection like the "other" models have a tendency to do.
Yeah, the battery's removable. The one on Go-Go's site doesn't come with a battery.
Please let us know how it works - I haven't spoken to anyone who owned one but am very interested.
