I don't think the eGo is only related to "mAh". From my point of view, a PV is distinguished by its shape but characterized by its atty. A standard eGo supports many atty models (standard 510 and eGo mega atty's type A and B), as well as many battery sizes. A 1300 mAh eGo battery with a cylinder mega atty is very different from a standard battery and a 510 atty with the cone. This brings me the word "chameleon". Also, it resembles more a cigar or a pipe than a cigarette. Joining both meanings together we can have something like "chamepipe" or "pipeleon". Anyway I like to call mine by its own name "tornado".
Most of your comments are about the particular model you own: the Tornado brand of the eGO. I am looking for an appropriate name for the category of models with proprietary batteries of much higher mAh than the penstyles, minis, and super-minis. Since the eGO was first, most of those which have followed (so far) are of a similar shape (e.g., with cones), but even the eGO itself has changed its look with the Mega atomizers and cartomizers:

My favorite suggestion thus far is EBL:

I say extended battery life (EBL) 510's
And this acronym is not used for that much else: "estimated blood loss" is the most common, but not something that would ever be confused with a PV.

My :2c:, with which I am very generous.;)

Excuse me if my post seems too particular, that was not my intention. I was writing about the many different combinations of an eGo. On the one hand, there are four atomizer/cartomizer looks: standard 510 (atty + cone), eGo atty type A (cone shape), eGo atty type B (cylinder shape), and mega cartomizer. Your picture misses the eGo atty type A. On the other hand, there are many batteries: genuine eGo battery (650mAh), riva battery (700mAh), genuine eGo mega battery (900mAh), riva mega battery (1000mAh), and there is another big battery with 1300mAh. Thus, with these 4 atty types and 5 battery types we can have 20 completely different eGo type models. This is what I was trying to discuss.

I'm not sure post #27 covers them, but I bought some "mega" batteries (from Healthcabin, I think) which falls in between the standard 650 and the TorneGo XL in physical size. I'm not sure what the mAh rating is. I thought I was getting the same XL batteries as I'd purchased elsewhere. But, they're an intermediate size.

I guess when the dust settles, I'll have to stop calling mine TorneGo. The name fit, but now that there are so many others, oh well.

I am a GUY from L.A. not girl. lol
My thinking is that the eGo/Riva/Hello 016 type are most people's first step away from their training wheels, a point at which they may stay, or may progress to battery mods, feeder mods, VV mods, etc.

For this reason, I'd suggest pre-mod.

Pre-Mod? Better than cone head, but for what it's worth I love my auto mini/super mini batts. They work fine, since I don't use sound activated batts. And sometimes I just want something that works well, is like a cig, and easy to hold in my mouth, my hand or pocket quickly w/ out too much trouble when I am busy w/ more important things than vaping. A mod probably is in my future, but I just don't need one as it stands, and many people don't want a mod. So the "Training Wheels" analogy doesn't fly either. Most people outside of the ECF don't know what a mod is, and probably wouldn't want one.
