Yep. I love my eGo. I have 4 batteries although the 2 that came with the unit are fine. I just like having backups for everything just in case. I just ordered another usb charger for the same reason a few minutes ago with a juice order from Cignot.com. I've got a couple of extra cones and the 510/eGo charger adapter. The basic 510 kit got me going at first but the eGo rulz. It fits my lifestyle just fine. I might buy the latest greatest mega battery mod down the line at some point but it won't be because the eGo doesn't perform well. It'll just be the gadget freak in me.

Love my eGo too. Don't know why but I have extra batteries also, must be the 510 thing.

I've got the extra batteries just because I know from long technical experience that stuff fails - no matter how well it's made. That's why critical systems from the space shuttles to subs to aircraft have multiple redundant backup systems. I never want to be tempted back to cigarettes so I've adopted the same strategy with my pv stuff.

Solid rationale Irwink...guess I should buy at least a couple of backups.

Love my eGo's, but been tempted to buy Riva or Maxx as backups...still thinking about it.

I really like my eGo too, but I'm so paranoid something is gonna fail and leave me vapeless, I ordered a backup Riva kit this weekend to give me two more batteries, a couple of more attys and an extra charger.

I love the fact that everything I've bought so far (510s, eGos and Rivas) are all interchangeable. I decided to buy the Riva since I had a problem with a sticky eGo battery button and Drew at Nhaler replaced it with the Riva batt. The Riva is a bit more powerful and lasts even longer.

I think I'm set on equipment....well, for a few days at least.....:)

After using the 510 and PCC for about a year, the Ego has really changed my vaping experience. I still switch out the battery every few hours out of habit. I've been using them for about a month now and I've only seen the dead battery light blink three times. And that was after 4-5 hours of use. Yup, I'm a medium to heavy vapor these days. But it's nice to know I can go out with two ego batteries and not have to worry about them dying on me of if the PCC will keep up with my usage.

When I went to see a movie I always had my PCC at the ready to charge the battery while I watched the movie. Now I know I can vape on the way there. Vape some on the movie--shhhhh!--and still vape all the way home without having to worry about it dying.

I went a long time trying to avoid buying a mod just to get good battery life, but now I know what a difference it makes. I'm not ready to trade up to the mega ego batteries yet, but that'll probably be the next step.

P.S. Now if they just didn't come in so many wonderful colors! Now sure which one to buy next.
P.P.S. I always use two batteries and have a new one as a spare. Yes, any battery can die at any time. The 510's were very reliable...unless you drip juice on the switch that is! I'll smack myself on the head if that happens with my Ego!
