Hello-Good Buy

[optsmk]

I just got my Hello-Good buy in the mail today from Nhaler. I have only been using it for an hour, but so far I am impressed. It comes in a nice box, that I will use to carry my juice, atty's and carts in. It is very solid and it seems almost unbreakable. I bought this unit to replace my old DSE-905 that I got a few months ago. The old DSE was nice, but I have gone through two of them since the beginning of the year because that little LED ring broke on both of them after dropping them too many times. The Hello-Good buy looks and feels like it might be a little more durable. Only time will tell I suppose. The vapor production is great. It is better than the 510 and even a little better than the DSE-905. Although that might be because the atty is brand new.

For 50 bucks you cant beat it, and with a 1300 mah battery, I'm pretty sure this will last me the whole day before I need to recharge it. The reason I got this is because of the bigger battery. it is almost identical in size to the DSE-905, but the button sticks out a little bit so it won't roll of the table. It also has 400 mah more than the DSE battery. I can make it almost all day on the DSE battery, but I wanted something that will last the whole day. Hopefully the Hello will outlast the DSE battery.

The only drawback that I can see at this point is that it seems like I need to keep the atty really wet. Once the atty starts to dry out a little bit, its gets a little harsh. Maybe thats because the atty is new. Only time will tell.

Overall I like it a lot right now and I hope it lasts for a long time. I would recommend this unit to anyone that likes a smaller unit that gives a ton of vapor and has a long lasting battery. IT may not produce as much vapor as The Chuck, but belive me, it does produce enough vapor to satisfy anyone.

So, It has been one full day since I got my Hello. I charged it all night and started using it around 7:30 this morning. It is now 12 hrs. later and it still has some charge left in the battery. I don't know hoq much longer it will last, but it has out lasted my DSE batteries. They only lasted around 6-8 hrs.

This thing is great!! all day it has done nothing but produce great vapor. I love the way it looks to and the fact that it does not roll off the table is a big bonus.

How long does your battery usually last?

So I am now on day two and the Hello is working great. The only problem is that I wanted to get an extra battery. After doing some poking around at nhaler and other sites, I decided to buy a H16 from Electronic Cigarette | Smokeless Tobacco | Electronic Cigarettes It's is the same battery, but does not come with the special coned atty's. They say that there are a few notches on the battery for better air flow with standard 510 atty's. I did notice that is a little bit of a problem with the Hello Good Buy cig. The standard 510 atty's work, but you have to back them off about a quarter turn to allow air to flow through. So hopefully the notches in the H16 battery will do the trick. I also ordered a couple of LR atty's to try them out.
The whole kit from digitalciggz was only 35 bucks which is just 10 more than what other vendors want just for an extra Hello battery. I figured it's worth the extra 10 to have another charger and atty.

I haven't tried a LR510 on it but LUV a LR 306 on it. Yes, the battery life is incredible...I've not timed it because I'm constantly switchig among my devices.

I can attest to a great experience with a hello 016 battery and a standard 306 atty. I have one LR 510 atty that I bought to try out, but the flavor is so completely wrong on it (even though when I got it, I blew out the primer and added my own juice to start it). I think I'll just stick to standard 306 atties which seem to work the best for me.

Update:
Hard to believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I got my Hello Good Buy, but it has. So far everything is working great and I have had no problems. I love the fact that the battery last me all day, and the atty's work great. I get no harsh or burnt taste whatsoever.

Since getting my Hello, I also got an H-16. Both units are just about identical except the h-16 came with a standard 510 atty and the battery has four little notches in it so there is better air flow with the 510 atty. The 510 atty's work well on the Hello, but I have to bach the atty out about a 1/4 turn to get good airflow when taking a puff. The little notches in the H-16 battery allow me to tighten the 510 atty all the way down and still get a good puff.

I also ordered two LR atty's with the H-16. I am not all that impressed with the LR atty's. I was expecting a lot more vapor, but instead I just got a harsher hit that uses a lot more juice and runs the battery down about 50% faster.

IMO, the Hell atty's seem to work the best on both the Hello and the H-16. The 510 atty's work well, but the Hello atty's just work a little better. They give a smoother hit and seem to produce a little more vapor. I alos think that these little 3.7v high mah battery units are great. I was going to get a HV mod, but got these instead. I may buy a HV mod at some time, but for now, these work so good that I'm putting the HV unit on the back burner.

If anyone is interested in any of these devices, you can find them here Hello, Good-Buy and here H16 Express Starter Kit [H16EXP] - $34.99 : Best Electric Cigarette :: Electronic Cigarette
The pricing on both units is very reasonable and they both work very well.

I just got my H16 from DigitalCiggz on Saturday (after a lengthy discussion with and tips from multiple mod owners on another thread) and I have to say I agree to everything you said!

I hadn't tried the 510 atty I got from him, since I already had one primed with my favorite flavor, but it worked pretty well. I also ordered LR attys and it is true - very harsh & guzzles liquid! So, I just now put on the atty that came with the kit (on your recommendation) and I'll see how it works!

I LOVE the battery life!! It's such a departure from having to switch out 510 batteries every 1/2 hour! (I also got one for hubby and did have the forethought to get a third to always have one on the charger!)

Do you drip or use a cart/carto?

I can't believe almost 4,000 posts and a year on ECf and I just finally got something other than a 510. The 510 was a great starter and I still highly recommend them to newbies!

I absolutely love mine, I got it from litecigusa. They are 18.95 free shipping. Sold out now but should be back in soon. The battery life is amazing even with a LR atty.

Update:
So far the H-16 is holding up well, but for some reason the Hello Good Buy battery is not staying charged near as long as it used to. I only get a couple of hours from it now. I'm not sure what that's all about. I suppose I just got a not so good battery.

All of the attys are still working. However I have changed my mind about the LR atty's. In the beginning they were kind of harsh and did not produce much if any more vapor than the standard atty's did. Now the standard atty's are begining to produce less vapor than they did in the beginning, but the LR atty's are still going strong, giving me all the vapor I need. The only downside to the LR's is that they do take a lot more juice to keep them going.

I think I will order some more LR atty's as well as some more standard Hello atty's and see what kind of life I get from those. Also, I doubt that Nhaler will give me a replacement battery for the one that does not hold much charge anymore. After all, it has been almost three weeks now, and I doubt it would be covered under warranty.

All in all I still think these are the best units in the 510 class of pv's.

Do you drip or use a cart/carto?

I don't drip. I just use a standard cart with ptb mod or straw mod.

Don't forget you can just buy a spare battery if you want to.... seeing as you have the charger and all.

I like my Hello batts for long trips.

Bummer:
My Hello Good Buy battery died last night. I tried it this morning after charging all night and it's dead. Oh well, I guess I;ll just have to get another one, or maybe try one of the other high mah 510 products like the Ego or Riva.

 

[kristin]

One of my H16 batteries seemed dead and after a couple light taps on the counter it came back to life. It seems to have a bit of a quirk. It IS a good idea to always have a backup!

 

[optsmk]

I am definitely going to buy at least one more battery. Maybe even two. These little units rock. I am pretty much using it exclusively with the LR 510 atty. I guess I just had to break in the LR's before they started working really well. This thing puts out an unbelievable amount of vapor. I cant see any HV unit putting out much more vapor than this does.

 

[Firefly13]

I praise the Hello batts every day, i have the black ones and the white ones, with the right adapter they make my 808 cartomizers hit like a champ.

This guy in this other thread really shed some light on why batteries don't last so long with LR atomizers..
