Frustration

I received my new ego-t battery today, which I ordered from the official joyetech online store. Compared to the ones I bought at Smoke Depot, it is heavier and easy to tell it's better quality. and has the laser marks proving that it's genuine. It also has a usb port on the bottom so I can vape while it's charging.

If it works well I'll probably buy another. BTW I'd recommend buying from joyetech directly, their shipping prices are reasonable.

There are many excellent ego style/stick batteries available. Unfortunately, there are many unbranded stick batteries that are not worth a darn as well. Spend an extra five bucks and get a good battery and avoid a bad experience. Here's some thoughts about stick batteries:

Stick Batteries, known as eGo Style Batteries (entry level, backup, out and about, stealth, primary):

Trusted Vendors shown, but NOT selected based on pricing, you'll still need to shop around. You will need device specific battery chargers (which often come in kits) for these devices. Also, kits often provide two batteries allowing for simultaneous vaping while charging of the backup. Each of the eGo style batteries below have both 510 and eGo thread connections. As such, they are compatible with most toppers, including most Kanger products. Additionally, each of these devices has at least variable voltage, which allows you to adjust and regulate the battery output voltage, providing customizable vapor production, temperature, throat hit, and finding the "sweet spot" for your juices to suit your individual vaping preferences:

1. Innokin iTaste 3.0 vv/vw, usb passthrough, ohms reader, etc. - https://ivape.net/index.php/iTaste-VV-3.0-Variable-Wattage-Device-Pearl-Chrome.html (variable power, LCD display, +/- buttons, Usb passthrough, 3.3 - 5.0 volts, 6.0 - 11.0 watts, 800mAh)
2. SLB KGO VV - http://www.hoosierecig.com/Mega-KGO-VV-1200mAh-3-6v-_p_441.html (LCD display, +/- buttons, Usb passthrough, 3.0 - 6.0 volts, 650 - 1200mAh)
3. Vision Spinner - Vision Spinner VV eGo Battery 1300mAh (3.3 - 4.8 volts, 1300mAh)
4. Joyetech Twist - eGo Twist 1000 Mah Battery in Black (3.2 - 4.8 volts, 650 - 1000mAh)
5. Smoktech Winder - Smok eGo Winder 900mAh Variable Volt Battery (3.2 - 4.8 volts, 900 - 1100mAh)

Best Starter Combo kit out there, imho, provides two batteries, i.e., the twist and/or spinner, and two toppers, i.e., the eVod and/or MT3s, among others: http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm.

Recommend one eVod and one MT3s topper with one Spinner and one Twist to start. This way you get four different products with the kit and allowing you to experience four different setups, as you figure out your preferences and what works best for you. BTW, you can spend less and get a fixed voltage battery, but you'll have much less vape flexibility and it won't be long before you'll want to upgrade to variable voltage, more than likely, and the difference initially is only a few dollars per battery anyway.

Anway, my two cents. Welcome to the Forum, good luck in your GearQuest, power up and vape on!

I have heard of problems with Joyetech recently. My brother had a batch of five batteries crap out after 4 months of use. They simply only last two hours after fully charged. Pretty terrible for a 1100 mah battery! We have gone exclusively with Kanger batteries and they perform better and seem to last. Dont give up just try something new!
You got knockoffs. Joyetech dont make 1100 mah ego batteries.
