Had good luck, my first 2 are still fine after 8 months of low-moderate usage, mostly just use them occasionally these days. Only thing I hate about them is the name, how dumb it sounds sometimes. When we say a vaper has an eGo man we ain't kidding. 
Good for Joytech. Apparently smok doesn't extend the same courtesy. My B&M store said it is only a 14 day warranty. I brought mine back within a week and my B&M store wont replace it without first "testing it." This tells me that they think I am a liar.
I am still fairly new to vaping. While I may not have the time logged a lot of members here have, due to my background, I do know a lot about electronics, physics, computer science, etc.
I have spent probably $200 just on EGO batteries in the short few months I have been vaping. What do I have to show for it? Nothing.
Trust me on this, newbs.
I wrote user manuals for tons of proprietary computer software as well as hardware products. Let me explain to you that if a US company sends their work to off-shore to be manufactured, they are still responsible for writing the technical manuals for their products that they designed. They are only "assembled" in China.
If they don't, it's because they are too cheap to PAY a U.S. worker to do it back in their own corporate headquarters.
I lost projects that were off-shored, including the manual writing.
By the way, there is a reason why products designed in the US are made in china. It's chillingly simple:

No offense but you don't seem to understand the global manufacturing and delivery system.
we get it...you got cheated by your local vendor and instead of them taking responsibility and instead of you confronting them you have decided that it's not the vendors problem it's the chinese all ego's in general and "veterans" recommending egos.
(look at other posts by this user) you seem to really like to poke at "chinese" and bad mouth them and egos when in fact the device you are using isn't exactly an ego battery...ego's don't have battery notification screens.....it's an "ego styled" battery but it's not an ego battery...furthermore as it's been said pretty much every e-cig and mod are made in china (check the boxes) as most everything now a days
as I had suggested in your other bashing thread (which has vanished *hm, I wonder why*) if you had, what 5 "egos" die, to me it seems that maybe you have a faulty charger. But I'm guessing here, you bought all your stuff from the same vendor?
I'm sorry but most of your posts seem to be bordered towards racism and trying to start some sort of argument about chinese quality, veteran vapors and ego batteries

I still use the two Joytech eGo twists I got when I first started 11 months ago. Use them daily. Still working just fine. Some of the finish as worn off but they still work and hold a charge.
Why would you keep buying from the same vendor if you keep getting the same poor results? For that matter, why would you keep buying the same brand?![]()
Okay my turn. I have seen nothing helpful come from you Op. On the other hand, I have seen, just as I have come to expect to see, many helpful thoughts and opinions come from our other fellow forum members. It's a damn shame to see someone start a discouraging thread! But I can always expect the loyal members to be there with their words of experienced based knowledge and insight. Therefore, in my opinion the only thing that has made this thread worth any value is solely due to the value of the other posting members.
Hey newbies, don't let garbage propaganda discourage you from vaping! If you want to get yourself an authentic Ego or even Kgo then pull the trigger and go for it. Tons of us have been very happy that we did.

As if I don't have knowledge and insight? Trust me, I have a lot of knowledge, yet I can see that the egos are of low quality. If you want a good vaping experience, you are going to have to spend $300 or so to have it. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. Maybe one day we can have high quality products made for much less than that, but so far American (and some Euro companies) are the only ones making high quality products. Innokin may be one exception, but they are about as expensive as their American counterparts.
I am not trying to discourage anyone. Indeed, as a new vapor, I am the one becoming discouraged because of all the trouble I have had from buying cheap products.
