eGo Uh-Oh Moment

[matt-attack]

Received my Janty eGO today (well one battery, and one cone) and I love it. Popped on my 510 cartomizer and its like a magical being! Couldnt be happier. . . well . . . after about 8 hrs of out of the box vaping, I decided I'd give it some fresh juice using my Joye 510 wall charger to prepare for a long night of chain vaping and bonding with my new eGo. Nope! The thread on my eGo isn't long enough to connect fully to my 510 charger. Went to Janty's site to order the eGo charger, sold out. I know this night of fun will end prematurely. I know that tomorrow morning my eGo will still be dead, ATLEAST until Fri assuming I order an adapter for it.
SOooo any fast acting suggestions ??? Is there anyway to avoid this monstrocity?? Or will I soon just face the flashing bright LED light representing the rest of the week gone to hell?

BTW- im too proud to go back to my standard 510 now... i cant, i wont! lol. its like test driving a BMW then settling for that rusty 89' LeBaron in the corner of the lot. (well, kinda). Help???

Can't help you there. I'd order the rapid charger instead of an adapter though. the adapter on a regular 510 charger will take a long time.

in a desperate attempt, i could tear open my PCC ?????

adapters on a regular 510 charger will take forever like 6+ hours from dead...however if you have adapters...like a 510 to 901 adapter and a 901 to 501 adapter they may be long enough to screw in..

You know you have to go back n use the standar manual batts til your new charger comes. YOu can do it. It'll be hard but we have faith in ya. Its only a few days. Be brave.

Make yourself a quick battery box ^_^ tastier and longer lasting than anything I've tried. Barring that....try to survive on a passthrough? Lacking one of those...the mod forums may be able to save you... good luck!

Not quite OT.. but how was the eGo vs stock 510 batts? did it just last longer? or did it produce more vapor?

I'm frightened of those biga$$ maglight mods with massive power (although I dig the cheap rechargeable batteries they use)- but OTOH, I'd like a bit more vapor production... just a bit. no need for the Wizard Stick (yet).

Don't fear the maglite deus.... It is your friiiiend
Honestly the voltage of those can be pretty much the same (only slightly higher) as the stock batteries, it just lasts many hours longer. I'm running 2 14500 batteries in parallel and end up being able to run mine for a day or two without swapping batteries.

Do you have a usb charger around for the 510s? If you do, you don't need the adapter.

The EGO has the same voltage (3.1) that the standard 510 stock batts have, the only difference is the massive battery life. It would say the vapor production is better on the ego, yet I cannot explain why. Maybe the atty cone has something to do with it.
DeusX, Dont be afraid of the maglight mods! They are here to better your life! to serve and protect you. And surprisingly, it isnt HALF as large as i thought it would be.
I just ordered the batt and cone seperately to try it out. So far its a great device. A step up from carrying around a 510 and a PCC fo sho! Next stop for me is a ProVape

To bad you can't get your hands on a Ego fast charger...It came with my Ego kit I bought and I love it....Less than 2 hours to fully charge a dead Ego battery...If you love the Ego battery,,,you will definately need this charger....Sorry about your problem...but, hang in there...

 

[KeepNitReel]

I guess I'm. Not the only one that order the eGo battery, cone & got it yesterday. Like you I'm in the same boat, without a charger as janty & TW are sold out. I however did order a eGo fast charger from heavens gift the same day I ordered the janty eGo but heavens gift is in China!!!! I know I won't see it no time soon so I still use my sidesho with 510 cartomizer attached until that glorious day the eagle lands.

BTW: I was very surprised how small the eGo really is, looks like a stubby cigar. Now if I can just find a place to get one of those flat tips to fit on the cartomizer.

 

[matt-attack]

would a 510 USB charger fit an EGO battery???? If so, best place to get one???
would this work? I realize its not an uber fast 2 hr charge, but who knows how long janty/tw will be sold out. http://www.cignot.com/product_p/510-usb-chg.htm
