This is really smart, thanks IT-guy! I have some cheap black drip tips that I wouldn't feel bad about modifying like this.

Not a bad idea. I have a bunch of drip tips, including a few I don't really use. I could just bust out the Dremel and whittle one down easily enough. 
So cool! I did the same thing with my DCT drip tip after seeing COV's Tank Tool!
What kind of vape time do you get with aw imr in an evo? Aren't they 550mah? So wouldn't that mean less vape time then the stock 700mah batteries?
Anyone else see this? EVO's big brother with LCD screen?http://www.loongtotem.net/syssite/home/shop/1/pictures/newsimg/1308733581.jpg
It does mean less vape time, but remember this uses pulse-width modulation which greatly extends battery life. Even with the 550mAh AWs, I get most of a day out of it running it at the medium setting on 1.5ohm dual coils -- which, if you think about it, is pulling a pretty constant 3A for that length of time, so that's pretty impressive. Also keep in mind that the batteries it come with are ICRs (lithium-cobalt) and can't properly cope with that kind of amperage so you don't get the same quality of vape. The AW IMR 18340s can deliver 5C (5x the amount of instantaneous current the average ICR can deliver) so it's ideally suited to situations like this.
Yup. Called the ECI. It predates the EVO. I don't know much about it, and I haven't seen any vendors that I know of pick it up, at least not on this side of the world, which seems to suggest that either it's too expensive, or there's something wrong with it.
They last longer than the crap blue batts that come with it. I got 2 sets after you started this post and they definitely pump all day and all night. The ones that came with are weak and they seem to go about 6 hours on a weekend with a dct.
I highly recommend it it_guy! I'ts kinda like the LT batteries in the kit. They are ok, higher mah, but less powerful in the long run. Are they 1700mah? lol
Now that I have a few tanks on the go I noticed the vape time has decreased significantly on my evo. After reading this thread I think its time to upgrade the batteries. Thanks for the help everyone.
All these batteries make my head hurt, I long for the days of wondering whether my remote takes AA or AAA.....now that i can handle

Mindfield's Quick and Dirty Primer on Mod Battery Types (or: This Won't Be Any Less Confusing):
10440: About the size of an AAA battery. Low capacity, meant for slim PVs like the Precise+ P10.
14500: About the size of an AA battery.
14650: About 1/2" taller than the 14500, a bit more capacity.
16340: A half-size 16650, mainly for stacking or "mini" mods. (Same as the CR123A)
16500: Taller, higher capacity.
16650: Taller still, slightly higher capacity.
18350: Half-size 18650, again for stacking or mini mods.
18490/18500: As the pattern holds, taller, higher capacity. There's no real difference between the 18490 and 18500.
18650: Taller still, slightly higher capacity.
26650: Big fatty, similar to a C cell battery; massive capacity (~4000mAh for standard protected type). Used in the few 26650 mods that exist (eg. Helix, Shockwave)
Chemistry types:
ICR: Lithium-cobalt oxide (LiCoO2). One of the standard rechargeable types, but a bit "safer" chemistry than lithium-ion polymer (the chemistry is harder to ignite and cause a fire or explosion), offer standard charge capacities.
IMR: Lithium-manganese (LiMn). Much safer (though still not safe) chemistry (much harder to ignite), lower internal battery resistance which allows it to discharge more instantaneous current at once, but with the tradeoff being lower charge capacity (about 1/3rd lower than other lithium batteries).
IFR: Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). Like IMRs, a safer chemistry battery than standard LiIon or LiCoO2, but unlike IMRs, have standard capacities and discharge rates, but lower voltage (3.2v).

Thanks for writing that out Mindfield! I will copy and paste that in a document for future reference. So there is IMR, and AW IMR...what is the diff, is AW just a brand? (noob question!)
Yup. AW = Andrew Wong, who's a bit of a battery savant, so AW is his brand, and he does make a solid and reliable battery.
I should also point out that some (standard) batteries come in protected and non-protected versions as well. Protected batteries are slightly taller (4mm) because they have a circuit board attached to them that will shut the battery down in the event of a short or excessive discharge. "Safe chemistry" batteries are not protected.
What do you know about these? What is a TR? These are slightly shorter than my 750mAh AW ICR 123's.

TR is probably the brand name. And I seriously doubt it's really 1300mAh.
Thanks.. I found it hard to believe too. Toronto is a beautiful city with great people btw.....My wife is from there and we own a house in Woodbridge. We live in the states now, but we'll be there to visit in May and later in the summer for Carabana. Can't wait!!
Well, if you time it right, you might even be able to make a vape meet.
Or maybe just meet up with a vaper or two, there are tons of us scattered around Toronto and the 'burbs. (I'm actually in Brampton, Woodbridge's western neighbour. I went to school in Woodbridge in the 80s, too. )
ok, so i know this thread is a bit old, but after searching for about two days straight i cannot find the info i am looking for so i am hoping someone has the information to bust up a friendly "argument" in the works right now;
When it comes to the Evo, i understand version one has no vent holes what so ever.
Version 2.5(?) came out in two colors: silver and gold. It also had how many vent holes on the end cap? one? two? I have readon on vaporus that you cannot fit aw imr's inside? (if what i have is a silver version two then how did i get two 16340 aw imr's in there and works?) I noticed the "blast away" caps are on both the top and bottom end caps....so again not sure if this is version 2 or 3?
~side note~ i have dropped my silve evo about 4 times on the floor and the beast is still working lol
Version 3 came out with vent holes where? on the body or just the end cap? how is the circuit board better?
Now there is a version 4? what does that do? make Julian fries? there seems to be no info anywhere on version 4?

Not really sure on revs either but I believe I have a Gold one and also use aw imr 16340's and hits like a train
