FS Ego Review

[Icicle]

Here is what I think of the FS eGo:
First the cons:
The cutoff time is only about 5 seconds, so I need to double, or triple tap to get a longer hit.
The Manual switch is a little hard to find at first, As seen in this picture below.

The 1000mAh battery is a little heavy.

Now the Positive.
Since I vape almost non-stop during the day the 1000mAh Battery lasted me 10.5 hours of heavy use.
As for looks, it has a clean shape to it.
As far as charging goes, it charges in just under 2.5 hours,

Mixed feelings:

The nose cone,
While it is a pain to keep taking it on and off to get the Atty out.
It does offer a little protection from breaking the atty off if drop wrong.
It does act like a heat shield from a hot atty, while it still gets a little warm, it doesn't burn like a bare atty does.
Since the cone covers the atty it keeps leaks contained from leaking down the battery.

All in All I am pleased with it.
I will be telling others out there who don't vape about them.

Just got my FS eGo as well and I like it too (^_^). I'm not a super heavy vaper I guess, so my big ole 1000 battery lasted me 2 days.

Actually, that fact leads me to a question. If my battery lasts that long, is it safe to leave the spare battery on the charger all that time, or should I take it off right when it gets fully charged and let it sit till needed??

jbugz, supposedly you can leave it on as long as you want because it can't overcharge, but I always advise not leaving it on the charger for extended periods when it can be avoided.

Thanks for the review. I just ordered one today...I had no intention of doing so but they were discounted to under $30 so how could I refuse?

^ they are a great buy It what i started with and I dont think I would ever want another. I def suggest a genuine atty or LR which imo is the only atty worth using

 

[borockster]

I'll be using cartos with it anyway....

I got one as well, my only complaint is the draw is so tight - my 510 had 4 slots in the battery for air, my FS ego only has 2.

Anyone else seeing this?

thanks for the review.
they are very economical as per the website.

impressive battery time for an 1000 mah

I still have 4 FS Egos that I bought 4 or 5 months ago and they all still work fine. I use a VV device now and rarely use them but I lend them out to friends and family to try. They are great units for the price and very reliable.

How does this compare to the joye ego?

How does this compare to the joye ego?

Performance is great - basically equal. Quality (longevity) is quite a bit lower than Joye. Great tester kit, but I recommend Joye for long-term use.

The T is easier to use. Attys are easy to change along with the tanks.

Hey my 4 FS batteries in the 2 kits I purchased since 8/29/11 and the last one 9/5/11...First the 2 1000mAh's died then first 650 size (which I started using both around the end of September) then the last 650mAh died just an hour ago. So in my opinion, these FS batteries are just not worth saving a few bucks. I've never had a Joyetech battery die on me.. I've still got 3 510s that I bought over a year ago. And I don't overcharge my batteries on the charger, use the right charger that came with the kits, haven't dropped or hurt them in any way, they just don't last. Oh and on one of the atomizers the bridge part came off, it still works adequately though. But I wish you all the best of luck with your FS kits...
