I've had my G400 5 days now, barely long enough to give an opinion. For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents.
Pre-purchase: I thought carefully before buying. It was a fairly new product with little mention of it online. Many praised Nhaler and Drew was quick to answer my questions on ECF. Nhaler's website didn't tell much about the product either. I was interested in the 900mA battery because I already have a mega eGo. Also, the cartomizer holds 2ml of liquid. When I saw pictures on ECF that appeared similar in size to a KR808, I was sold.
Purchase: shipping was prompt. I decided against an extra $35 battery until I'd tried out the basic kit.
Appearance: The look is nice, sorta' like a mini-cigar. I'm not a fan of black, the only color it comes in and the Greenworld inscription is barely noticeable. It's lighter than my mega eGo with a bright lime green light on the end. You could literally light a wooded path at night when you're camping with this light! The G400 size is not overly large, but I was probably expecting something smaller. Pictures below show a comparison to a mega eGo with mega cartridge, a KR808D-1 XL, and an analog. (*note that the 100mm analog did not actually touch my lips!)
Flavor: The flavor shipped with the unit is excellent. I'd describe it as an extremely mild pipe tobacco taste called 'Western'.
Draw: This PV is definately harder to draw through than an eGo, but not difficult. I'd say about the same as my KR808D-1 XL. (*note my cheeks collapsing as I vape in the photo. It wasn't intentional.)
Refilling: I read the easiest way to fill was through the battery end, dripping one drop at a time. I would have used a syringe through the mouthpiece hole, but the PG juice I had wouldn't go through my 16 guage needle and the drawhole is quite small, smaller than my needle! (see pictures compared to a KR808 cart). So, between each drop into the battery end I'd count "1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000" as I watched fluid slowly enter the carto. These things hold ALOT of liquid! It took about 5 minutes to fill it. I thought 20 drops = 1ml, but I lost count around 50 and I'd guess it took around 60 drops.
Compatability: Some ECF posters mentioned compatability with other cartos and/or atomizers, so I've included pics of how those look. IMHO a KR808 carto on a G400 looks way better than the other way around. The G400 has an automatic battery, so buyer beware if you're set on using an adapter with an atomizer. At $35 a battery, I wouldn't advise it.
Charging: I really like the sleek profile charger that comes with the G400. It doesn't stick out far from the wall if you have dogs and kids running through the house.
Cost: I realize prices change and that Drew is currently the only supplier, so price is relative to value. Still, at $60 for 2 of the largest capacity cartos out there, 1 nine hour battery and charger, I paid $60. In my mind that's comparable to buying a mega eGo. Not cheap, but not overly expensive either.
Overall: The G400 is a winner. Very good design and functionality. Hopefully more colors are in the works at GreenWorld. When I'm around town I always bring it because I know the battery or carto won't die. It's a very cool two-piece, which to me means less mess & refilling hassles. I actually prefer autos for this reason. I'd rate the G400 an 8.5 out of 10.
Drew at Nhaler recently wrote he was considering discontinuing PV's with short battery lives. I think he'd be doing customers a big favor. G400's could start new vapors off with a more positive experience so less people would give up shortly after starting to vape. I've gave away six KR808's because the battery life just didn't compare to any of the devices shown in these pics. (except the analog!)
Despite loving the G400, I have to admit it's now my 2nd favorite PV. Despite the hassle and mess of carts or dripping, the mega eGo has a much easier draw, more colors and will stand vertically at attention on a table top (so cool).
