Hey pals can you give me a quick tip on how to remove the paint from the battery? Did you just scraped it off? I noticed that silver modded battery on one of your videos a while ago Terraphon, and thought it looked awesome!

And Igetcha, man, that mod is some bat crazy ....! I am really curious of what material is that mouthpiece made of, looks "metal" but obviously it can't be. I am looking forward to that video too =D

How cool, i'll check it out as soon as it's up. Good job on the new HD videos, i also like the blue background. And i never had a chance to tell you that i am too one of the peeps that choosed an Evo after looking your review, and i'll never regret that! =)

But i don't really think i can chomp on metal o_O will give it a shot anyway just for the cool factor! =D

I am afraid I am one of the few that hasn't had a great experience at all with the Evo.... Two months, 4 dead batteries and 6 dead atomizers and all the hassle that went with it wasn't very good at all.
Pete, I must agree based on many comments by members I bought one. I have a most difficult time getting responses from John(busy is no excuse for poor customer service) AND I've noticed from all the videos, that the atomizer on mine has a WAY smaller mesh on it compared to the videos(and the picture on their website) If I could get a response I'd request a refund. As a side note, the batteries only put out 2.8 volts on a full charge(most ecigs 3.8-4.3 or so) I'm not sure if this is a design feature or not.I asked another user to spec out his voltage but have not heard back. And as others point out the carts do not last(even compared to my N-Pro, which is of comparable size) They remind me of my original "smoking everywhere" device.

My OPINION my DSE901's have served me way better

I'm new here but my 2 cent... Just got my Black EVO and am in love. Most reviews I have read lurking around this forum I agree with. I went through three batteries of use before the throat hit emerged but now... heaven. Loads of vapor, great throat hit. A+. All I ever had was a 901 so take it with a grain of salt but IMO, no comparison the EVO is a far better product. the 901 kicked out the vapor just fine but had all kinds of faint metal and plastic tastes when it ran dry. Reliability was sketchy, atomizers were variable as were the batteries. And the 901 is the ugly girls at the ball compared to the prom queen EVO for looks. Plus I think dripping/dipping is much easyier using the M401/EVO type external atamizer vs. 901.

Dealing with intellicig:
No complaints. Had my emails returned promptly. They sorted out my shipping issues. Had my EVO and accesories 1 week from day of order (which was a saturday). Plus John through in an extra 25 carts and 20ml ECopure.

My only complaint is that shipping is steep. Hope that helps someone. I know these forums have been a huge help to me.

Thanks to everyone. Igetcha, teraphon and others... your reviews were a real help!

Greetings, igetcha, love your videos although I have to go over them a few times to understand what you say since I'm not familiar with the accent, but you do a great job demonstrating. Love the tips and maintenance guide. Question: Can I use a syringe and just put the needle into the white fluffy stuff to add juice, rather than pushing up the cartridge and removing the white stuff?

Also, found a video that explained why atomizers often die...and I'm sure my friend ruined both hers by leaving the cart on and twisting it so the atomizer wires broke...the top and bottom of the atomizer were no longer solid. I knew nothing about what was inside of the atomizer. Guess I need someone to draw me a picture, huh? The video was called, "Preventing Atomizer Damage" on YouTube. Do you have a video of stuff to absolutely NOT DO?

Love the EVO, too. I searched through your stuff for days and decided on an EVO and have never regretted it and I'm not switching either...I did just order a black one with the mighty atom from Intellicig. They are just great people! Thanks, Karen

hi mate,

yes, you can use a syringe to fill the carts exactly how you described. i personally dont like the idea of mixing sharp needles and nicotine though! lol (but lots of guys do it that way though)

yeah, ive seen that video but i think it would take some doing to cause damage like that. ive never experienced that problem myself.

glad you like the vids!

cheers,

scott

My order fit into a box less then half the size of a shoe box, like thick hardback book. They had that box stuffed!. Maybe it is the size, I have also heard that dollar point is an issue. orders over some $ point require differnt paperwork. I think there are details about this on the Royal Mail Service web site under "Is my package held by customs"

I have been think ing on future orders I will probably break them up, ie. just order batteries and chargers, just atomizers or just fluid and see if I can keep my luck going. Making orders this week and i'll let you know if the turn around time changes.

I feel for you, the wait is aweful.
