For all, esp. r77r7r, yotasavg, heateris and others expressing interest...
I received in the mail today a few of the "eGo-RS"s. This is an eGo type battery that uses the 14500 battery inside - so a 'non-proprietary eGo', and 'non-regulated' eGo. It is the length of a regular 900mAh batt (non-Twist) which is about a 1/2 inch longer than the regular 650mAh eGo. And it's 1mm wider (15 vs. 14mm) - not like some of the 'fat eGo's' we've seen recently. I have both the 900mAh 14500's and the 600mAh AW-IMR batts and the 600 fits just fine, whereas the 900 is a tight fit, but that's what they send in the kit. I only got the batt housings.
The top and button appear to be all 'joyetech' type stuff - white/clear led with the joye button (concave plastic) not bluish rubber of the Riva. The bottom has two small holes (might act as vents too) on the outside body with spring loaded buttons on the removeable bottom. Just turn the bottom a hair to clear the buttons and pull - no threading. Nice thick quality spring - not just a wire worked into a spiral (some will know what I'm talking about
) Positive side of the batt goes toward the top of the batt - but it has reverse batt protection. Put the spring loaded bottom and twist.... The button works just like a Joye eGo - slight fade on releasing, no stickiness ... and so far - an hour or so in, it's vaping just fine. This looks very well made - no 'wiggly' parts. I tried to wiggle the button top (where most cheap ones come loose) - very snug.
There was an earlier attempt at this with the 14500 batt - the 'NoEgo' - which got terrible reviews for the 14500 one and there was a 18650 model as well - top button area falling off, bottom batt spring breaking off, etc.
The RS has the 5 click on/off, short, charge and reverse batt protection - it may actually be an eGo-t top, but wouldn't have to be of course. I guessing the led isn't going to change colors like the c.... But I'll let you know if it does.
If this holds up, it is the 'perfect' "prepper" batt for eGo users. I bought four here: (china)
TRUEMAN-ECIG(ZhengZhou) electronic cigarettes e-liquids e-juices
They have a 'kit' - 2 batts bodies, 2 batts, charger and CE4's, case for $36.50
eGo-RS Zipper Case Kit
Or you can buy the bare batt body $8.80 - 5 color choices - which is what I did.... since I have 14500s, charger and T3's
Trueman eGo-RS Battery Housing replacement
Or housing plus one 900mAh 14500 batt - $11.90
eGo-RS battery battery-removable
Next to eGo-t
On order confirmation email, they sent a picture of the product AND the invoice made out to me, address, etc...
Ordered late on March 28th and arrived today April 6. heaven gifts has been quicker lately, but not bad for china.... signature required on delivery. Shipping is more than US vendors but the prices are lower of course.
Years ago now, I bought some ejuice from them - they had a good 'cream' flavor at one time - I had no problems then or now with this vendor... just not a common name in the sub-forums I visit here, although I've seen them around from time to time.

I'd like to know if anyone has and I just may email 'thomas' Hu?? about that at trueman. There are a few people here - in the threads you participated in - I did a search before buying and saw only positive stuff on it but not a lot of info.... maybe a few of them have tried it. 
This is how we learn....especially us technologically challenged vapers. (me, anyway
