OK, first the boring stuff. Specs...

Battery: 18650, 2200mah Li-ion
Output voltage: 3.3V (4.15V-3.6V in selected mode)
Tube length: 4.46in
Tube diameter: 0.90in
5 button click on/off function
Variable voltage mode: 3.6V ~ 4.15
Compatible: Joye 510/T atomizers, Joye eGo/T/C atomizers, 510/eGo cartomizers
Standard Ego charger or 18650 charger
Now, onto the good stuff. My first impressions...
Before I start I want to say that this is my first big battery mod so I have nothing to compare it to making this a true review of only this product with no bias to anything similar.
I immediately opened it and screwed it onto my standard Ego charger. It took around 4 hours to turn the light green indicating a full charge. I put on my Vivi Nova tank loaded with a 1.8 ohm head and filled with High Caliber Killa Vanilla 50/50 with my kick a-- tip attached. I turned it on with 5 quick clicks of the button the light glows a bluish white in regulated voltage mode. My first hit on regulated voltage was nice to say the least. Great flavor with a warm, smooth throat hit. Exactly what you would expect from a 3.3v and low res head. joyetech claims up to 96 hrs. of vaping in this mode. After a few hits to ensure consistency I clicked the button 5 times to turn off the unit, held it for 6 seconds or so to change the light orange indicating variable voltage discharge and gave it another 5 clicks to turn it back on. In this mode it starts out around 4.15v and slowly drops down to 3.6v as the battery discharges. In this mode with a fully charged battery it delivers what you would expect going from 3.3v to 4.15v, a much warmer and stronger throat hit with much stronger flavor. I prefer v v mode but it will discharge the battery faster than in regulated mode... Higher voltage= harder power draw for those of you who were wondering why. Both the top and bottom unscrew so you replace either one.
Now the cons well con because there is only one design flaw that I noticed. The vent hole is on the bottom of the unit but the vents are on the top of the battery... I found this odd. On another note I thought I received a defective switch, the switch will flash 5 or 6 times at random and continue to do this everytime I press the button. Most of the time it starts working again on it's own after a few cycles like this but sometimes I need to unscrew the top to "reset" it to get it working again. It only did this with a 2.4 head, so far it hasn't done it with the 1.8. I notified the seller and we agreed to give it a week or so to see how it goes (it has a 28 day warranty).
I've only been using it regularly for a little over a week and so far I love it. It's a decent size and has a bit of weight to it but is still comfortable in the hand. Because of the extra heft I was glad that I got it in the black finish. It's the typical Ego black that has the rubberized feel to it which I really like, it gives a little more confidence when holding it. It comes in many colors and if you find the right seller you can get it with a battery for 25-30 bucks. If you don't need another battery than you can find it for around 20. All in all it's a great, inexpensive way to start the transition to big battery mods.
