Ego Vs Silver Bullet

[DaMulta]

Well one day so far into my Tornado(ego) USB 600Mah battery.

Ok, SO I love it, but I hate the button. It would be so much better if it was flat like the silver bullet. Which makes the Silver Bullet the winner in my book, just cause it's WORK friendly. The Ego can/does even go off in my front shirt pocket.

Yet, the silver bullet I don't even have to even 2ed think about it. It's just a work house, and it's the way to go if you need something that you just don't need to worry about.


Yea the EGo with the USB is kool and all/ would/ will be great around the house/ in the car. Not working tho, but maybe if I bought the guard for the EGo it would make me change my mind?

I had problems with my eGo going off near my naughty bits while at work. Bad juju. The button protector works well to stop that from happening. It goes on solidly and really stays put. They are cheap protection.

Love the SB and would purchase a BB before going near an eGO if I was looking for a small PV.

 

[mwahle1]

The eGO is ok, but in my opinion the SB is significantly more superior.

 

[keyzygirl]

Its apples and oranges.Not comparable really.

The Silver Bullet and the eGo is like comparing Apples and Oranges (batteries).

Hey keyzygirl, guess we were typing at the same time.

I really don't see how these could ever be compared to each other and why try. One's a mass produced 3.2v proprietary battery, the other is a 3.7v mod that uses a superior battery in every way with over basically 3x the mah rating and will cost less to replace if the time comes. One cost 1/2 the price of the other by the time you get everything included in the kit.

They both have their place but you mise well be comparing a bic lighter to a blow torch.

More like a book of matches to a blast furnace!

I've come to love this USB Ego. It's all I take to work now; whith a mega LR cylinder atty on it. I like how it will charge on just about any phone charger(thanks to it being USB). It's small, light, and works for a long time between charges.

I like it better than my BB.....

 

[floridamale]

I can't believe this is even a question SB would be the only answer

 

[PaulCincy]

The Ego works for me...so why pay for something new...Now,,,if you are looking to give me a Christmas present this year,,,then yes I will gladly accept a SB.....lol...Have a Great Day...

Not sure the difference between the eGo and Riva but the Riva is definitely not 3.2v. It's 3.7, the same as the 18650 battery you'd use in any big mod and gives consistent 3.9 volts on my multimeter. It always hits as hard as my big mod just doesn't last anywhere near as long. (unless I'm running twin 123s of course)

 

[breaktru]

Hey Zod, you must have exceptional batteries, my eGo bats come off the charger at 3.41v.
I was happy with and still am with the eGo. It is a great vaping device. I opted for other PV options not because the eGo didn't perform but because of my addiction to spend more money and.... okay, I'm a sick S.O.B.

 

[jasezero]

I have to agree this comparison is very odd as they are 2 completely different devices. I have both and use them for very different purposes.

But, if you are having issues with the battery going off in a pocket or something like that...this might be good for you:

Well one day so far into my Tornado(ego) USB 600Mah battery.
... maybe if I bought the guard for the EGo it would make me change my mind?

And maybe, if not careful enough when putting it aside or into your pocket, you may even end up with further downsides!

The cool new feature of the eGo - T batt, though, is super cool; if you give the button five presses, then, it is safe as it wont activate... Now were talking...!

Now THAT would be the difference! voltage.

 

[revolver]

Comparing those two units could get 'tricky' to say the least... I guess the 'official' expected opinion to be held by a 'serious vaporer' is to be the SB all the way. But then again, having said that, many of us end up using our eGos as much if not more so on a regular basis, maybe due to the fact we prefer this over the SB? As Damlulta says, the PT to the eGo could be very convenient...
Guess it is a very subjective matter...
Me.......? Well, I love my eGo but, for the record: "SB is superior" (gotta say that, right?).

 

[jasezero]

I have passthroughs for both. The eGo passthrough doesnt run at higher voltage...just lets you charge the battery and vape at the same time.

With the SB passthrough, i can run it at 5v =)

 

[Uma]

I have both the eGo and the BSB and love them both for different reasons.
I think everyone should own both. Like the others have said, There's No Way to compare the two.

I will say though that the eGo has a bit more flavor. The SB a bit more Vapor. Even then it depends on atty/carto/cart/mega/tank/juice... etc for either one.

The SB has no LED, it's easier to stealth vape... unless you're in earshot lol.
The eGo is smaller, easier to pretend it's an ink pen for stealth vaping in the daytime.

I'm trying to compare. It's impossible.

 

[jasezero]

I think the eGo is actually easier to stealthvape. The physical size is MUCH smaller and the LED is very easy to cover up with one finger.
