I have a question. I just ordered one, and it arrived today. (Thanks for the speedy delivery and the Hush!) It works great with my mini nova, but it doesn't seem to allow for any draw with any of my stardusts. Is it not compatible with the stardust or am I doing something wrong?

My two ego v 's came in today and i'm really liking them also bought a silver metal tank for my nova and its looks sharp!!!
I love this battery!!
But it does have some minor issues (doesn't everything)
I'm in the process of installing a small nipple underneath the rubber ring that holds the fire button down/in. I'm hoping its small enough not to cause accidental firings as I like the recessed button allowing me not to have to turn the battery on/off all the time. Yet I also want it large enough that I get just a little more tactile feedback when searching for it.
I've already got 2 people interested in my setup (this battery and a Vivi Nova) as I let them try it and they loved it. One of them is a traditional smoker...so YAY!!

I would LOVE to know the answer to this question as well.
My kGo VV (from the other guy) bit the dust after just 50 days and
50 charges. My guess is the fail has to do with the built-in charger.
Also... the kGo VV has a UC-E6 USB charge connection rather than
the "micro USB" stated on the GotVapes site for the SLB eGo-V.
As point of clarification...
Is the GotVapes SLB eGo-V really a micro USB connection, or is it
in reality the very similar-looking UC-E6?
My reason for asking has to do with the internal charger. If the
plug connection is different, perhaps the charge is, too... and
that would be a good thing IMO.
I enjoyed the kGo-VV while it lasted... and would gladly purchase
the GotVapes SLB version if it proves different/better.
I would very much like to know if that, in fact, proves to be true.
If it is, then this eGo VV from GotVapes is NOT the same built-in
charging system found in the device at TOG. At "the other guy"
site it says the regular charges will not work.

Wonders when the silver will be back in stock?

That will actually depend on what your computer's usb ports are setup as... the standard for USB don't allow for high enough amperage but many of the newer systems do have ports that can support higher amperage output ( it isn't about voltage, it's amperage ). In short, you will need to look at your computer's USB specs in order to answer your question.
get a 2AMP wall wart and never worry about that again
And this suggestion is much better than my info.... some usb devices don't follow the USB specs to request higher power from the port before they start drawing that power... this can damage some usb ports. It is just safer to use a wall wart
Doubtful.
If you have this PV plugged into your computer USB port
while you are vaping, you are still vaping off the charge
on the battery and not directly from the USB port.
The USB port is supplying the charger, and is not a true
passthru to the coil.
ETA: My battery is dead and will not charge via the built-in
charging plug. It also will not vape, even while plugged in
via the charger. So the USB is not "passing thru" any
voltage or current to the coil.
NOTE: Mine is the kGo VV version from TOG. Still waiting
to find out if this eGo version is different, but they are
both made by SLB and most likely the same product.

I bought two of these and wont to say they work great! Only bad thing is you have to get used to the button but other then that, they are great VV battery. 4.2 stars out of 5 from me.
I got my eGo-V less than a week ago. I really love the charging and variable voltage features, and am mostly pleased. Though after the 3rd day of use, the silver end cap fell off spontaneously, while i was vaping. It had never been dropped or even taken anywhere from my desk...
I used scotch tape to tape it back on, but I would have thought the eGo-V would have lasted longer than just a few days. Maybe I was just unlucky and got a bad unit?

Will do, thanks for the info!
How I remember where to push the button is by looking where the screen is. The screen and the button are both in the same place, just on opposite ends of the vGo.
