They do look cool, but all I can see are the 350mah batteries. All my daily vapes have at least 650 (the eGO being the lowest), and then some. However, I can compromise on battery life if the device warrants it. I'll wait until I see how it holds up or surpasses the eGO-T before jumping into a tanking system.

I have one from Nhaler that I'm testing out and will have a full review at some point. I don't have the Ovale version to compare it to. It's quite an interesting design. The way it feels in the hand is great. The extra features like pass-thru charging and 3-click off/on are nice too. I have some minor leaking, which I am attempting to determine the cause before I decide if it's a design flaw of some sort or user error. One thing with these and the Ovale apparently both of them get wet inside the atomizer cover and that's normal, just sort of odd and it makes it hard to check the liquid levels.

I had wicking issues once, but I just pulled the little cap of the tank and reseated it and it was fine. I did notice it tends to wick a little better if you put the tank on the atomizer and then put the cap on, as opposed to sticking the tank in the cap and then sliding the whole thing on.

I think SenseField noted on his initial review that his tanked leaked when it was low.

The Ovale one doesn't have the 3-click feature.

Are you having any wicking issues?

I've got the Elipse and the PCC....I'm a little disappointed at how easy the mouthpiece comes off...when I pull it out of the PCC, the cap comes off.
So I've learned to slightly turn the elipse, then pull it out of the PCC. Thats the only complaint I have. Other than that, it gives a good vape, and you can't beat the size. The PCC will charge 2 batteries, which lasts me all day.
I've a little issue with wicking, but I just pull off the tank and sit it back onto the spike again.

Looks like this thread faded away a little bit over the holiday. I had a little bit of wicking problems with one of the atomizers, but the other one was great. I finally got a full review done on the Nhaler version which I published today here if anyone is interested: e-Cigarette Reivew: The Elips Electronic Cigarette

And what do you guys think if you compare an ellips to an ego-t (or perhaps ego-c). Cause I am planning on buying one ... But it will be in France I guess, since thats about the only Europe shop I can find. And getting electrical stuff from USA through customs here in Belgium can be a pain in the ... + taxes & shipping ...

And the other thing I see, i almost see nowhere they have parts or even sell the kit. But I do like the look of it and seen some reviews. I currently have a 510-t, pcc is on the way, but still need something that lasts me a bit longer then vaping 1 battery and charging one :)

I think functionally, it's about the same.

I, personally, was in search of a more form-factor ecig and the elips fit the bill.

Steve, I noticed that the non-Ovale elips has a different shape atty and tank...don't know if that makes a performance difference.

Also, how often are you vaping? Any chain vaping? That's when I notice the dry hits is when chain vaping.

I always chain vape. The dry hits were only with one atty, which also produced less vapor, so I suspect the atty itself was a little off

Just got the elips from e-liquid.cn.

With the cap on, the non-Ovale is a tad bit taller.

Atty and tank are totally different and not interchangeable.

Only interchangeable part are the caps.

I find the non-Ovale (from e-liquid.cn) a better vaping device.

With the elips from Ovale, I would get consistent dry hits (I've tried with the other atty and also with different tanks).

With the elips from China, no dry hits thus far.

The elips from China will also fit the lanyard and PCC from Ovale.

Does the China one fit in the Ovale PCC?

I just got the Ovale kit...it's pretty sweet...first thing my girlfriend said when she saw the unit (silver one) with the PCC (Silver one) was that it was the coolest looking eCig that she's seen me with.

I'm not getting dry hits with 80/20. I never use anything with a higher VG % on a tank.
