ego-t came today, BUT

[Timm_66]

We'll was waiting very patiently for my ego-t so I can start my vaping journey, and I opened it up and it seems like they shipped a kit with 2 650mh batteries, when I purchased a kit with 2 1000mh. I emailed them and am waiting for a reply, so I guess my Journey is on hold

ahh order mix ups...although I have 1 1000 mah ego, I have my original 2 650 mah batts from feb and they still work like champs... hopefully the vendor will either refund the difference for you or swap them out...

 

[Timm_66]

Yeah I hope so, Is there anyway to test the batt's, because nothing is actually on the batteries themselves, the notice across the batt button had a note saying it is shipped off and the 1000mh was scratched thru and hand written was a 650mh, and also the paperwork says kit includes 2 650mh batt's. So they may come back saying they are 1000mh that they put in the kit.

 

[tat2d4life]

you will need a multimeter and some basic knowledge and understanding of dc electricity... that is the only way to check a mah rating

 

[Timm_66]

I have a fluke 83 multimeter, I am not an electrician but, I could bring them to work and have one of the maint guys test them if the company claims they are 1000mh

No good way to test mah that I know of (it's the length of time the battery charge lasts if drained at a certain rate). However you could measure the diameter of the battery. I think the 1000 is about the same height as 650/750 but fatter?

I have 750mah Riva (Ego clone) and my battery is about 2 7/8 inch long with no carto on it (the full length of the battery) and about 9/16 inch diameter (i.e. a bit fatter than 1/2 inch if I stand the battery on a ruler)

Measure your batteries. The manual is probably outdated, if that is how you are determining that you have the 650mAh's.

Here are the specs on the genuine Joye batteries:

650 mAh Size:
*Length: 71mm or 2 and 3/4 inches
*Diameter: 14mm

900 mAh Size:
*Length:86mm or 3 and 3/8 inches
*Diameter: 14mm

1000mAh Size:
*Length:96mm or 3.78 inches
*Diameter: 14mm

 

[Timm_66]

Although it is killing me having it on the dining room table and not being able to use it, I think I will have to wait for a reply from the vendor.

 

[Timm_66]

end to end the battery is 3-9/16" and 1/2 in dia.

Why don't you just measure the batteries???


Edit: He was too fast for me.
Sounds like you got the 1000mAH

 

[Bozzlite]

What Gru said. The 650mah and the 1000mah are the same diameter.

The only difference is in the length.

Get a tape measure or a ruler or a yard stick or calipers and measure them. Compare your measurements to Gru's numbers above.

You can't check mah with a multimeter. Only voltage, and it would be the same for both sizes.

WHY YOU NO MEASURE BATTERY!?

 

[Timm_66]

I measure, it is alittle under the specs of a 1000mh but definitely bigger than the specs of a 650, so I guess I did get the correct batt

Then start vaping!

Yes, you probably got the right ones then. Or maybe the 900mah.

<Opens can of worms>

 

[Timm_66]

time to get started then, Just a quick review, blow the atty, fill the tank and start vaping ?

 

[dormouse]

yeah I was wrong - seems to be the 1100mah ones that are the fat short ones.

 

[byggd]

You might want to do a quick dry burn on the atty just be careful not to burn it out. Fill the tank, pop it in and vap away!!

Charge your batteries first.
Wash your tanks so that they don't give your juice that new plastic taste.
Wash the atty with warm water to get rid of the primer. Blow thru the battery end of the atty a few times to get the excess water out. Dry the battery end really good so that it doesn't short out your battery.
Before you fill the tank, put the new tank on the atty to pierce the cap of the tank. Pull the tank back off and remove the dangling plastic chad so that it doesn't block the wick.
Put 2 drops of juice on the wick to prime it, then put your full tank on.
Remember to keep them laying flat when not in use, otherwise gravity will keep pulling juice down to the battery.
When you are puffing on it, tilt them downward so gravity helps to feed juice to the coil, giving you maximum flavor and vapor.
Don't draw too hard, otherwise you will pull juice out of the chamber before it has a chance to atomize.

Let us know how it goes lol.
