eGo-v V3 mega

[jimclark]

I receive 2 of these just a couple of days ago and wanted to pass on a quick review. (hopefully I posted in correct forum)
* The look, feel, and size is identical the V2 mega. The main difference between the V3 and V2 is that it has a variable wattage mode and ohm meter.
* Battery is a 1300 mAh and performs well. Charging from a drained state takes about 3.5 hours and fully charged it lasts me 2-3 days of vaping.

* Display is brighter and easier to read than that on my V2.
* Variable voltage/ wattage mode is selected by pressing the + button for 5 seconds. Current mode is indicated by a V or W in the display.

* Voltage/wattage setting is via the +/- buttons with a range of 3.0-6.0V or 3.0-15.0W in increments of 0.1V’s or 0.5W’s.
* Setting and mode can be locked to prevent accidental changes.
* Short/low resistance (below 1.2 ohm) protected.
* Coil resistance is displayed when you first screw your tank on and can be called up any time by pressing the – button for 5 seconds.
* Supports both 510 and eGo threads.
* Supports USB pass-through operation.


I really like this device as it is packs all the features of much more expensive MOD’s in a smaller and lighter package.

** Update: Like the V2 the power button on the V3 occasionally sticks on -auto shut down after 14 seconds. even with this issue, i would buy again.

How much of a concern is the power button sticking? I mean is it constantly happening and is it a defect with all or some of them? I been leaning more towards the ego-v v3 between that and smoktech's sid just because of the value

Just happened today One of my new V3' dies - will not charge, completely dead. Other is still working fine. Will contact my supplier and see if he will make it right. I will let you know.

Ugh!!! That's disheartening to say the least. I want one really bad but not if its going to be a problem child. Any updates?

I have had mine for two weeks now. I'm loving it. No button sticking for me. I get two days heavy vaping from a charge. The weight is good and its comfortable in my hand, however my wife thinks it is way too huge. I guess I have big hands.

Bought one of these (1300 mAh, basic black) on a whim at my local B&M last week; I can always use another battery, I like VW, and I really like pass-through devices. It's very nice except for one thing...

It's mini-USB, not micro! What was eGo thinking? Mini-USB is obsolete -- it was officially deprecated in 2007! I have micro-USB cables and chargers everywhere. Mini-USB, not so much. The whole point of having an internal "pass-through" charger in your device so you can charge anywhere, without having to have any special charger or cable!

Somehow I simply assumed that a brand-new device released in 2013 would be micro-USB. My bad. As a result, it will be relegated to desk duty.

Got one of these six weeks ago. Had the button sticking issue for the first couple of days and evened out. Then it just died a couple days ago. It won't charge, display anything or react at all whether or not it's plugged into the USB. Tried a bunch of USB cords with different power sources just to cover all the bases. Emailed my vendor to let them know, but since I've had it six weeks, I don't expect anything. Seen several instances of this on the forums. Looks like I won't be buying anything made by SLB again.

I don't own a single micro-USB, and own plenty of mini-USB cords. It just comes down to what devices you use.
