Good point. How many ex-smokers who worry about their own lungs purchase cheap goods from China where air pollution is disastrous to others? Cell phones? Computers? Everything? But oh, the smoke from a cigarette. There is plenty of hypocrisy to go around. I certainly don't live like a saint or practice life like a monk, to live without sin is not to live much at all according to my nature, but some of the self-righteous seem wholeheartedly to embrace the idea of telling everybody else what to do.
We are seeing responses a lot like this... OP claims he's seen a lot of people complaining about the same products. He needs to prove that by posting a link to threads showing others complaining.
Ok, see here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...on/519760-smoktech-e-max-vv-vw-spinner-2.html
The user Sark666 gives his opinion after having used it for 2 days. He says "it's junk." One or two other people in that thread mention other problems with it (mainly low battery life, which is odd considering it is 1300 Mah).
Ok so that's one. Everything built has some flukes. One thing that drains a battery depends on volts... We have no idea what this guy had his set on... I have a VTR. If I have it set low it lasts all day, but if I crank it up it pulls the power from my battery in a few hours. There are variables involved....
It doesn't mean some things aren't lemons but from the majority of people using these they seem to love them.
If you're going 8 watts, then you probably ain't talking the ego type a lot of people start with and use. Yes there are ego VV/VW, spinner, you name it, but jamming ego totally into a bashing session isn't getting you or us anywhere. What is your set up? Are you cloud chasing? Do the batteries get hot when you are running 8 watts?
And the one comment on that link is from you, so that one doesn't count as a lot of people in my mind.
it's only a 2 page thread and only sark says anything bad about it......where are teh one or two other people in that thread at?
izan mentions a battery drain at higher volts, that's common in any mod....
after reading sark's post and your reply sounds like mod issues...sounds like having the vw option is problematic and all the light color changing....
and once again I state this is not an ego battery, it's an ego styled battery....if you are wanting vv, vw and battery warnings then go with a regulated mech mod or an ego styled battery with a display screen.....
but ego's don't have those options...ego's have an on/off button and then may or may not be vv (twist or spinner) with 510 and ego threading

Well, it doesn't *just* depend on volts. To get an accurate measurement of what is coming out of the battery you need amps. There is a handy calculator you can use, Watts - volts - amps - ohms conversion calculator. When batteries are rated at a certain capacity, it is aH hours. So, let's say you buy a 1300maH battery, and can hold the button constant without it shutting off, if you output 1.3 aH, it would last an hour. So a 3 ohm coil at 4 volts would drain your batter in 1 hour, regardless of the time the manufacturer says the battery will last. There are also many other factors that affect these calculations. For instance if you use a 1.5 ohm coil at 3.7 volts, you nearly double your aH output, and half the time your battery will power your device. There are many many other factors that can cause inconsistencies in these estimates.
That being said, I love my egos, I have several different types from different manufacturers, and for me portability is nothing better than a standard 650maH eco-c with a Kanger Mini Protank 2, and a 1.5 ohm coil. I have measured how many drags they last, estimating about 4 seconds per drag, and have not found any serious discrepancies with the length of the battery life and the advertised capacity.

...one additional note as well, for the variable voltage devices, and regulated devices, the PCBs in all those devices to take power to run. It is nearly impossible for us as consumers to measure that draw, unless you have some very fine electronic measuring devices, and can disassemble the device without damaging it.
{MODERATED} you sound just like a former poster here that went by the handle "GoodNews!" So you had a bad experience with something and assume everyone is, has, or going to experience the same problems as you did.
If you are going to boast about your background in physics, computer science, electronics and etc..., then why cant you figure out exactly what went wrong, explain it to us in some detail, or apply your background skills to fix the battery yourself other than rambling nonsense about the conspiracy of Chinese manufacturing?

I know man, for some reason there has been a two week break for new episodes in all the shows me and my wife watch, and I just can't stand any more reruns.
PCBs?? Man, this is getting technical. Anyway I thought maybe I s/b worried about my 1300 Vision spnners, so I finally made it to the end of this thread (phew!).
Guess it wouldn't be worth it if I didn't write something, after that 122-post slog.
My
on the the Joyetech 510T starter kit is that it was 
... never buy another JT product again. Ditto Kanger Mini Pro 2 (leaked, ick) ... but hey, if they work for you, more power to ya
Oh yeah, and one more thing ...
If we all got even a tenth as royally about the that's being done to our right to 
as we did about equipment ... well, I'll just not finish that sentence, 'cuz it's
