Hey all!
Just wanted to say, my 016 came in the mail yesterday. This thing rocks!!!! Never knew what i was missing in vaping, as far as TH, and vapor production! Great bargain as well. If this thing last me for quite a while, it will probably be the only PV i use from here on out!:2cool:

Hoog- Thanks a million for the great customer service, and sending me the sample i requested. That was awesome of you!:toast:
I haven't used the "wall charger" just the usb connect, and works like a charm! Go luck to those having problems! Take care!!!!

I thought about getting two, and decided to wait it out to see if he decides to order individual batts...looks like he's gonna, and I will definitely be buying another battery.

or two....:D

If Hoogie and MadVapes don't stock the batts, I just might have to buy a whole 'nother kit. I am extremely pleased with the price/performance of the HELLETECH 016. I did have one of the stock conamizers fail after 2 weeks, but it gave me a chance to re-use the cone part (after gutting the old atomizer from it) for all my other 510 cartomizers or atomizers. :2cool:

How'd you get the cone off?
my brother drilled his out and it looks kind of rough, I was thinking of soaking it in something to loosen the glue.

Yeah but the sale was great. I bought the battery and charger first. Fell in love and needed another. By then the batteries were gone. I also wanted 2 cone/omizers. But with the kit being on sale, it was only $3 more than if I bought just 1 more battery and 2 cone/omizers. So, I ended up getting a kit. I honestly didn't want to wait for the next shipment. It should be here soon. Yeah, this may well be the main PV. Oh, I'll still get extra batteries later. I like to rotate my batteries.

We actually have batts, chargers and atomizers coming in.. Just waiting to hear on the charging thing before we get any more kits.. I love mine also and charge and use it daily.. hoog

This should answer the "when will there be more kits" question.

i personally think the battery by it self would sell the best cus many have a 510 already and many would rather buy a battery an a pack of cartomizers.

The stock 510 charger is designed around charging a 180mah battery. Since the Hello 016 is a 1300mah battery I'd guess the charger for it would have a higher current output. The stock 510 charger would take much longer to charge I'd guess. At the point of ordering 2 batteries and a charger cost wise wouldn't that be close to a kit?

ok, now i'm scurred...mines in the mail as i type. didn't read this before i ordered, dang. :blush: i read all 33 pages and i'm deducting that just using the usb is the way to go? preesh all the info guys.

deduction correct :)

I tried my wall plug earlier and it's still fine, but the people who've had wall plug issues seem to have no probs using usb.

going going there all gone snooze ya lose it seems now if you want one looks like you will have to wait for the next shipment. my earlier posts about my battery failing may have made some think the 016 is not a solid device but it is i just got a bad one. they did send me a new working one right away with a mail back bag for the bad one. both units i have right now are working well Ive had them for about 2 weeks with out any issues.

I personally think your earlier post count for a lot.

A bad apple can come out of any batch, from any manufacturer. And the real deal on seeing how a business is run, is not when everything is going smooth, but those little bumps when things go wrong are a good testament.

You will be blown away at how well this battery works and how long it lasts. I wouldn't have figured my eGo to become my back-up device until I bought a big mod.

LOL, If I get another battery, I'm considering giving my sister my ego.

Mine's lasting a solid 24 hours (including 6-7 hours of sleep time) with a LR atty before it dies. My ego & riva last maybe 6-7 hours with a LR before giving me the death flash.

Got my kit today! Thanks for the vanilla Juice sample and flashlight!
I took a look at the inside of the Atty is the wick supposed to partially stick out from the side of the bridge? I thought it was a piece of stuff stuck to the side of the Atty but noticed they both had it! Thank God I didn't get the tweezers out and Yank it! Is everybody elses Atty's like that?

Yup, sometimes it's just not completely hidden under the bridge (most types of 510 atties have the inner wicking). It'll work fine.
