And very soon there will be a 2600 mAh as well then all the Hello 016's will be good bye 016's just like everything else gets better and better so do Batts

Sorry, i don't 'bye' that I don't think they're anywhere near ready yet in a decent size...

either way, heres another comparison : Top is the Hello, Middle is my new 808 variant i had made for my store, and the bottom is the infamous GG Slim badboy.

EXACTLY
So why are 99 of 100 people still recommending and buying 650mah egos left, right and sideways??

When something better than the Hello comes out I'll jump on it like an inmate fresh out of the joint going after his wife (with either type of g*n)

By then I'll probably be

A. Still satisfied with the Hello, because it's rated to supply the atomizers and cartomizers I use

B. Using mods

But the upshot of it is this. Whatever someone uses to get off tobacco is ok with me.

If you using a AAA battery and a spark plug... go for it. .... nicotine lozenge? Check. Keeping a marshal arts expert at your side to kick you in the head when reaching for a smoke? Cool.

If carrying a fistful of lithium acid around works for you? Cool. Something smaller? Great! Meatballs up your nose? If it works good.

And if you want a battery the size of an aged German cheese log. I'm cool with that!

But whatever you do- dump the tobacco.

LoL over here... .... losenge? They have those for nicotine? Believe it or not, that is a good way to get vitamins into your body.. medicines, too.... I DO NOT know from EXPERIENCE. Just saying...

I got a couple of lady friends who are trained in Martial Arts ... If you need that kind of help ...

You couldn't be more right than you are. Get people the HELL away from cigarettes. Anyone out there who's still smoking, go buy some "tar bar" things. (The clear things that go on the filter of cigarettes and catch 10% of the tar) I keep some used ones around. Look at, touch smell and FEEL the tar they catch. See if you can get it off of your hands. Look it after it sits a day or so and hardens. Your lungs catch ALOT MORE. Every day. It's time to start vaping and stop making your lungs eat carcinogenic infested tar!!

I use mostly all Mods that take various and all Batts and mostly run AW 18650 2600mAh IC Batts so I dont have to worry about any of this junk, however I did buy some Ego/Riva's just for there size and longevity of running the LR Attys and will say they have done the job, are they being stressed absolutely but for $18 bucks a Batt I dont care if I trash one a week I will be ahead of my game on smoking. I think most of it boils down to my original post here, that is that everything is moving so fast still in this industry that when something new comes out you jump on it just like you said you would do THE, I would wagger my house you have purchased and Ego or Riva and moved up to your Hello 016, point is some of us have the ability to purchase whatever the heck we want to and as much as we can, others can't, won't, and don't so they buy the cheaper or alternative unit until they learn there lesson or can afford to move up, if everyone would just buy a GGTS, Omega, SB, Buzz, or Box mod and could either afford them or want to carry a big mod then they would and never have this problem of over stressing Batts, then comes marketing marketing marketing and what company's can afford and do the best job to make people pull the trigger, most ecigs are spur of the moment purchases and lots of people just end up buying one or another until they figure out they want better in the long run and all of us prime time vapors who enjoy this have many different ones, heck I'm personally ruining 5-7 different mods a day and its like hmm which one do I want to hit next with what flavor and have 3 GGTS/AVS units going along with a bunch of others. Bottom line is personal choice guys same as taste is subjective kind of thing, get my point.!!!

The Hello is actually my first higher mah battery.. I was very close to buying an Elegant or Riva, though.

I know that a-lot of people can buy what they want, when they want... you make it sound like a boat or a mansion, LoL I still experience the "what I want when I want" some times, even now, but now it's when I see someone.

I get what you're saying, for sure, you know even for the average poor person who smoked cigarettes, even trashing a battery fairly often isn't that big of a deal financially. .

I've been in a place financially where I could have bought a garage full of these devices if I wanted to(and probably would have, and would have made a mint on that like I did everything else), right now I'm in a financial position where dollars have to count .. And even I see the batteries as disposable.

The guy he's not trying to be abrasive, he's just saying, in short:

"Look it, not everyone in the world is broke, and these little ego/hello/riva are disposable anyway, so get over it already."

But he put some thought into it and tried to say it politely

You know.. I hadn't picked my PV up in a couple of hours.. Didn't want to get out of my chair (LONG LONG HOT HOT DAY) ... But I finally did and this Hello 016, in the palm of my hand, you know this thing is NOT that big AT ALL.

 

[mwa102464]

When you vape 10ml's of liquid a day like I do you aren't dealing with any cartos Firefly and dripping into Atty's is also a rarity, I've graduated from those schools and use tanks and or bottom feed units most all of the time with big batt power sources whether it be 3.7 or 6 or 7.4 with many different Atty combos and this is what satisfies my vaping experience at this point, I'm not trying to quit smoking or vaping but looking to intensify and enjoy my vaping sessions at this time and thats why I'm running all the Mods I have going at once, I'm not saying I shove them all in my pocket but if I go out I NEED MY JUICE AND POWER if I'm at home I NEED MY JUICE'S AND DIFFERENT POWERS, ya know what I'm saying here, Maybe I'm a bit spoiled and obsessed at this point but no little one e-CIG satisfies me any longer, I really enjoy my different vaping experiences all day long and love switching flavors all day long as well, SO LOAD EM AND POWER EM UP is my saying and once I do that they all last me quite a while without having to always fill, drip, change batts, DA DA DA ya know, so it's just my style, as everyone has there own way, and thats the point I'm trying to make that everyone is so different on what makes it for them just like some people smoke Marlboro and others cool and others camel and some smoke 10 cigs some 3 packs, it's all subjective for everyone.! OK now I'm done and going to vape before I hit the hay.!!! hehehehehahahahah

LOL i know... and he's right.... but anybody new to e-cigs is going to look for the best 'cheap' thing to get started because there are hundreds of different models / mods out there, when i first started out, i thought mods were the most ......ed thing's i've ever seen. Then when the eGo etc came out it seemed more acceptable to have a big cigar looking thing, i just have to say that the eGo cartomizers are the ugliest thing i've ever seen lol.

This guy, Bert, he's right that the Hello does look a-lot better with the cone as shown here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...2877-buying-ego-fri-wicked-janty-other-4.html

I'm glad you posted that, i was getting worried that me vaping through about 5ml's a day meant i had a serious problem, but now i know you do 10 it makes me feel ok LOL!

For someone like me who is done with the wanting it to resemble a cig phase, I guess it just made sense to go with the most inexpensive functional unit I could find at a rock bottom price. . . I think any beginner would love the Hello but I don't know that many are going to give it a chance

I've made it through 5ml in one day with my little old Hello 016
But, you're right, dripping would get old ...
These E2 510 cartomizers I bought, though, they seem to do the job just fine.. Of course I'm willing to stop the car a few times and take 10-20 seconds to top them off, too

I get so tired of doing things like that for myself when I'm in Kansas.
Of course, the family does housework and cooking and all of that .. (And believe me, it is the LEAST they can do, considering all that I do for them!) I'll never, ever have to do any of that, even HERE..... but it just would feel "wrong" to let a family member mess with my VAPING EQUIPMENT

Hmmmm

I never realized that
I wonder why that is

I use my 808 batteries for during the day and out and about, i really like them and the thought of people looking at me like im a crackhead hitting this pipe lookin thing doesn't agree with me lol, but night time when im chain-vaping, i bust out a mod and go through a tonne of liquid in cartomizers. I go through about 5 filled cartomizers a day, and even being a vendor it still costs a significant amount when i add it up over the months, yet alone whatever other money i spend on other 808 connection mods like the GG stuff.

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no' (Yes)
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

Mo money, mo checks, im addicted to fresh
6 pair of kicks is my definition of 12 steps
Kick back in the back, get the phantom to drop
Bass blarin outta my system, thats how i detox
O when will he stop, he still pumpin that real ....
My flow so dumb, my face is numb, ,i dont feel ....
Where's a therapist? Yea I'm outta control
They tryna make me go to rehab, I won't go, no
And so I'm addicted, I'm Britney, Whitney, and Bobby
Betty Ford ain't ready for us, ain't nothin can stop me
Oh look he's collapsin, just look how he's rappin
Everytime I try to get out it pulls me back in
Amy should have rehabed him,'stead she doubled his ration
Can you blame me for being a slave to my passion
My flows more deeper than Marilyn's nose I'ma O.D.
'til I'm in peace like Anna Nicole,
Hov!

[Verse 4 (Amy):]
I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

 

[Broseybrose]

I just received (2) Riva kits (one for my dad's bday) from Eastmall for $40 a pop because that was the best deal i could find for what i thought was the best hardware (that i could afford). Of course i didnt know about the $15 shipping! But it was a great deal and one can get it from a US vendor.

I certainly didnt see any advertising. I learned of the Riva same way as i learned about the eGo, Hello, and so many more - this forum. I hear the most about the eGo and think only very recently has the Riva become really well known. In fact, during my research i saw that GrimmGreen review of the Hello and that took it off my list. Maybe his review is why people looking for a coned device are all eGo Riva?

Not sure what my point is, but i only been vapin for a month and im doing the best i can to research and learn and shop smart. Im trying to get my family on the bandwagon and improve all of our lives as easily and affordably as possible. And lots have fun doing it! I love my new hobby!

I also have multiple rivas and there is a 1300 mha battery coming for the riva in a month or so. I love my Riva. I did look at the Hello but never using a carto before I leaned toward what I know works and the Riva is the perfect pv for me.
