1) Extra charging slot in PCC
2) Sliding cover that can be opened with one hand
3) Variety of clip on cases for PCC
4) I want to be able to see the tip glow when I inhale

I keep a ucan filled with juice on me, so tank capacity isn't an issue for me. I'd rather carry a ucan than add two slots for a couple of tanks. I would like another charging slot though, because I tend to use one eRoll whilst the other charges, then switch, etc. I would like to be able to easily and smoothly open the PCC with one hand, I think a sliding cover would be good for this. I'd like extra options for finishes on the PCC. A rubberised version would be very welcome because although the mirror finish is lovely it attracts fingerprints like crazy. I like the idea of clip on cases like an iphone in different finishes. I would love a wooden clip on cover for my PCC.

Was just thinking about this again. If Joyetech were to release a juice container similar to the innokin ucan, but in a shape and size similar to that of the eRoll, and if a PCC had two slots to hold one eRoll and one eRoll juice container, that would be a full day's worth of vaping in one small, sexy package.

Same thing where I got mine (kiosk).

Wait, kiosk is a website, or are they actually selling eRolls at mall kiosks? Because that would be such an incredible thing, someone selling a great e-cig product at a kiosk instead of the horrible Green Vapor Valley Smoke Anywhere Hemp and Tobacco Company kiosks (whatever) I see at my local mall.

Yep, a kiosk in a mall. I got lucky. :) I was looking on line to buy, but I'm the kind of person who has to see and try something before I buy it. I was worried that even with all the good reviews I would spend 60 or 70 bucks and then hate it.

There are literally NO vaping places around here, and I found a thread on this forum about a vaping store in a mall close to where I work. I called up, asked if they sold eRolls there, and he said sure do, and you'll love it! So I went there but didn't realize it was a kiosk until I got there. Tried it, tried a few juice flavors, and off I went for $70.

The only thing that bothered me is that they were all individual pieces and the girl just put it all in a bag. I was a bit leary of buying because there was no box or instructions but it's got the trademarks all over it and everything looks the same as online. It's worked flawlessly since I bought it, so I don't think I got knockoffs.

My kit included 2 batts, 2 cones, two atomizers, 2 cartridges, the PCC, and the USB cable.

The eRoll is the only 'name brand' they had--the rest of the stuff looked like e-Go's rebranded with the company name (Nic Station). The business is opening up an actual storefront in a different mall a few miles away next month.

One of the things I'd change is to make the cone cover out of something other than metal. That thing gets HOT. After a few puffs in a row, it's too hot to hold the same way you'd hold an analog. I end up holding it like a stick. Give the whole thing (battery and cover) some kind of rubberized finish like the twists have.

there's a serious thermodynamics problem with that one. heat transfers. you'd need something on the order of space shuttle tile coating to make it work, and then all you'd do is burn up the rest of the device.

My solution has been to cut off the top half of the cartridge which is all useless baffling anyway, and then use the broken off end of a Qtip as a shim in the Pcc. the little end wedges into the lift mechanism nicely. It moves the balance point to just behind the holes which is just about perfect.

I can't envision it. Can you post a pic?

The flavour of the eRoll is pretty weak. I've tried the same juice in numerous devices and the eRoll is the worst. It didn't bother me before because I was new to vaping, but now I'm more settled I'm finding the flavour more and more important and the eRoll isn't really delivering. If the design of the eRoll wasn't so great I'd probably have moved onto something else by now. Hopefully it's something that can be improved by joyetech in the near future.

The flavor is definitely muted. Seems to be an issue with the ego c atomizers, since I get the same result with my ego c type b setup. I'm finding I am enjoying the more subtle flavors lately, so it's working for me, but it took some getting used to.

Yeah, the right hardware for your preference is definitely a personal issue. Since I vape a strong menthol exclusively, I have no issues with the eRoll "muting" flavors. Minty as always.
