M401 is the model of the ecig. Pilot and Evo are both M401s. They're just different "brands" of the same product. The pilot's battery has been programmed to give you a longer draw. I think the evo battery lasts a little longer. Their atomizers both give a little different result too. Terraphon did a video review comparing the two... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/m-401-402-mini/7157-evo-vs-pilot-head-head-comparison-surprising-results.html

Think of it as Nike vs Adidas. Both are good...it's just personal preference. I like the pilot. :)

ProStreet, I agree and disagree with you about the 401's all being the same.

I have an Evo and a Pilot and am waiting for my Bumble Bee to arrive. :D

After over a month of vaping these things, and heavily, I might say, I am leaning more and more for the non Evo. I just can't stand that two minute cutoff!:mad:

Although I believe that the two minute cutoff extends the battery charge and the atomizers. That's why I'm buying more non-Evo 401's. They will not last as long, but as long as I've got enough batts and atts, I should be fine! :D

Just my .02 cents. ;)

Hi Angela

The cut off happens if you inhale for longer than 5 seconds on the EVO and 7 seconds on the Pilot. If you inhale longer than this the device will stop working for 2 minutes.

I have both the EVO and Pilot and have never reached this cut of point on either.

Out of the two I prefer the EVO as to me if gives a constant hit where as the Pilot can be a bit hit and miss at times, just my opinion though.

Gadgetmonster is right. 5 second puff on the Evo and it shuts off for two minutes. :mad:

When I'm vaping, I'm using it like a pacifier. :oops: I always have two with me, because of the Evo and the shutoff. If I'm just vaping the Pilot, I'm all set, seems I don't hit the 7 second vape. But the Pilot batts run down sooner because of the constant vaping.

I'm bad.....:p

Thanks for clarifying that. It seems like the length of a 'drag' is gong to have to be expertly timed, since I've read that you need to take long, smooth drags, so timing the perfect 4.9 second drag appears to be the goal! LOL

Hi Angela, I have the Evo & I've never hit the cut off point. Also, keep in mind vaping is very different to smoking. You need to drag much softer when vaping which can take some getting used to. Enjoy:D
