Ego vs 510

[Madison Ave]

Thanks, Kelly!

I too am so worried about the lingering smell on me and do other people smell it. I take extreme and annoying measures to make sure I keep it as little noticable as possible....ie: febreeze and or perfume...lol works in a pinch, layered clothing which I will remove when I am at my destination and/or a change of clothes (a big pain in the a**) along with other things...I am sure you've done'em too....lol

And, of course, I am worried about my health....

I too wish you great success Kelly!!!!

Kelly,

My Aunt quit smoking 3 yrs ago and did it cold turkey, I applaud her for that! I have never smoked inside my home. I have a really nice covered porch where I smoked. I never smoked in my car either so that helped. When she came to visit last Friday I asked her if my house smelled like smoke or anything else (I have been vaping inside like a maniac for a couple of weeks) and she said "No. Why did you have a fire in your kitchen or something?" I showed her my Tornado e-cig and she was amazed at the technology and asked me to send the information to her daughter and son in law. I took a few hit off my e-cig and she was like "I can't smell anything!" I told her it was just water vapor. I had to refill my cartridge and she smelled all the flavors of e-juice I have and said they smelled good enough to eat. She was my acid test. As a reformed smoker she is way more sensitive to the smell of smoke than someone who has never smoked. So now I happily vape away both inside and on my porch (especially now that it is under 100 degrees finally!).

So, if you are just vaping you will have no odor on you, your hair, your clothes or your breath...all great pluses for vaping in my opinion.

Vape away and enjoy the new e-cigs and all the great flavors of e-juice available! :~)

Just got my eGo USB battery in the mail. Very impressed. Still think it's kind of sketchy looking to have out in public. I got my LR atties as well, will be trying those out later this weekend with the massive stockpile of juices received this week. Soooo many new toys!

 

[DesertDweller]

LowThudd, how do I know when this thing is fully charged? I have a red light on the end. Does that go out when it's fully charged up?

 

[danbob987]

It turns green when the battery is charged. But in my experience to get a full charge just leave it in at least 4 hours.

 

[DesertDweller]

Thanks Mister E. You'd think these things would come with at least -some- kind of instructions.

 

[DesertDweller]

Actually, no green light. As I suspected, the light just goes out. Makes sense I guess.

 

[mikeb357]

On my Ego, the red light will turn to green a 2-3 hours.

 

[KellyinAZ]

On my Tornado (ego) the USB charger has a red light on it while charging and it turns green when the battery is fully charged. I agree with you DesertDweller, they should come with some kind of instructions. My Tornado starter kit came with none. You'd surely think with a "starter kit" you would get some kind of manual. Guess they keep costs down by not providing one, or maybe the sell them as an accessory...LOL!!!

I think he has a PT eGo so he's talking about the light on the ego itself.

 

[DesertDweller]

Yeah, it's a PT. I'm talking about the light where the USB cable plugs into the battery.

 

[KellyinAZ]

DesertDweller,

how do you like the eGo PT? I have seen pics but not sure about them. I tried out the pyramid tea bag for a filler material and I will never use anything else! What a great idea...I imagine Lipton thinks their pyramid tea is flying off the shelves because people like the tea, wait until they discover most people are using the tea bag in their e-cigs and throwing out the tea...LOL!

I've had my eGo PT for a week and love it, have a regular eGo too but use the PT more, sometimes I have both going with different flavors.. Just started doing the PTB carto mod's too with the E2 carto's.

 

[KellyinAZ]

I am such a newbie so would you tell me what an E2 carto is? Also there are 2 ways to do the LPTB one that uses and entire bag for each carto and the other you can use one bag to fill two. I did the one bad method with the frayed edges etc. and it works great and I am noticing my atty is much cleaner when I refill the carto than it ever was before. I don't know about you but the pull is easier and the flavors taste better to me as well. I don't think I will change from using them.

Be well,

The eGo USB battery is great. Battery life is really good, and when I'm sitting around at home I can just leave it plugged in. I took it out in public this weekend and while I still think it looks shady, nobody said anything. I took it to work today fully charged and it didn't start dying until the end of the day. I picked up some XL cartos but haven't tried them yet. Also got a couple of LR atties I'm looking forward to testing.

 

[KellyinAZ]

DesertDweller, are you able to vape at work or do you have to go outside with the analog users to vape? Where did you go in public and were you able to use it there and not get any grief from people thinking you were smoking? I live in Mesa and you can not smoke anywhere, that includes bars, is that the same in Tempe? Just curious. I thought about vaping in the room while I was waiting for my doctor to come in but chickened out...LOL! I am such a coward. ;~)

Kelly,

Just do what we call ...Stealth vaping....vape and hold in your mouth...it will dissapate.....I do
however vape in front of my doctor....she seems to be fine with it.

 

[aron291980]

tottaly wicked tornado.....i quess its a 510 basically.............I can vape all day long with one charge....love it

 

[KellyinAZ]

aron, I also have a totally wicked tornado and I think it is a 510...since I quit the analogs and became a vaping maniac I now only get about 4 hours on a charge. I am slowing down some now and get about 5. Before when I was having a couple of analogs and vaping I could go an entire day with one charge. I sure am glad I have two batteries! I would be in trouble now if I didn't :~)

Indomitable, thanks for the tips on stealth vaping. I had no idea it could be done. I will certainly use it in the very near future!

Kelly, yes, smoking is banned in the entire state. I vape openly at the bar by my house in Tempe, but I've known everyone there for years. A couple of the employees have told me not to, despite the owners giving me permission. I have an acquaintance who used to do the enforcement for whatever agency checks up on bars after the smoking ban, and she said vaping is perfectly OK within the language of the ban. FWIW.

I mostly stealth vape at work, depending on if there are clients around. My employees are intrigued.
