Joye EGO-T 18650 MOD! Now in stock! 10 COLORS!

[ImYourSalt]

Electronic Cigarette - Batteries - Joye eGo-T MOD

The joyetech eGo-T MOD is the largest capacity power supply currently available from Joye. It utilizes 1x 18650 battery that lasts all day (or two), yet remains compatible with standard Joye EGO USB Chargers. Like other Joye EGO batteries, theres are regulated for a constant 3.5v output.

With 5-Click ON/OFF Function!
The device consists of:

• 1x 18650 Battery
• 1x Battery Tube
• 1x Control Unit

Each component is available seperately.
NOTE: As the device is regulated, stacking batteries will not increase output voltage.
NOTE: When fully assembled, the battery can be charged with a standard EGO or Riva 510 USB Fast Charger.



10 different colors! Just $7.99 for the Tube.


and $11.99 for the Control Unit:


The will work with either our TrustFire 2000mAh batteries:
Mods - Li-Ion Batteries & Chargers

-OR- The EGO E-power 2800mAh spare batteries, from Smok Tech:
Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - EGO E-Power

(The 3000mAh Trustfire batteries are just a hair longer, and will not allow the control unit to thread flush onto the tube. Though, it will still function.)

If you want an INEXPENSIVE BATERY TUBE MOD, then you should give the joyetech 18650 a try! It is well made, light and works great! If you own a high end mod then buy one of these for a backup! If you want own a tube mod and your on a budget, then buy this device! I love mine, works great with my LR cartomizers and my Liquinator tank system!

 

[ImYourSalt]

Thanks Hottody.

If you like the EGO, but need more capacity, these are great. However, since it is regulated like other EGO batteries.... stacking a couple cr123's, wont get you six volts. While they are affordable, and should be highly reliable, carrying the Joye name, they may not be as versatile, as similar devices.

Very interesting, I may have to look into this. I was thinking about getting a 650mAh eGo battery, but not only are the black ones not in stock, but the black cones aren't in stock either.

With the 18650 mod I could use my own trusted/reliable li-ion batteries (AW 1600mAh 17670 and AW 2900 mAH 18650) and charge the batteries on a real li-ion charger that offers true charge termination and other proper li-ion charging algorithms (Xtar WP2). Cause that is one thing I am unsure of with the 510/eGo USB chargers, I am pretty sure they trickle charge and this damages the batteries and can also cause them to explode. Being able to use my own 18650/17670 I could negate that risk and also charge faster (and safer) than the USB chargers can.

Plus carrying a few extra batteries around is easy and not as expensive as buying multiple Joye type batteries. Heck, I could pull the 18650 out of my Zebralight and use that if I needed to in a pinch!


So this 18650 mod, it can be used the with traditional eGo cones and 510 attys right? And will it fit a 17670 properly?

 

[ImYourSalt]

ITPython,

Yes... the EGO-T mod will work with any atty carto or cone that works on the standard EGO-T batteries.

I dont have any 17670's to test it. It may not fit, as the 2000mAh TF 18650'2 we have are a snug fit. The 3000mAh's are a little to tall. While they work, the Control Unit wont thread on flush, and there will be a small gap. This could likely be remedied by shortening the neg. spring, but may not be the easiest thing to get to.

We also have some Ego E-powers, and Lava Tubes in stock. One thing i've noticed in toying with all these MOD's, is that 18650 doesnt always mean 18mm x 65mm. It seems the manufacturer's have one battery in mind when producing these, and they are made to fit that battery. All of these MOD's seem designed for flat-top batteries. The Trustfires we sell are nipple top.

Thanks, worst case scenario I just buy a new 18650 that is known to be bit shorter (like a 2200 mAh AW). Cause I have an AW 2900mAh in my flashlight, it is flat topped but in general it is one of the bigger 18650 battery's (in diameter and length) and is actually slightly longer than my 17670's.

In the original post you mentioned stacking batteries, I am curious could this 18650 mod actually handle 2 RCR123's at 4.2v each? (not so much in terms of size, cause I know it would fit, but more along the lines of being able to handle 8.4 volts).

Stacking batts:

I stacked a couple 3v CR123'S, and it still meters about 3.5v, unloaded. It will still hit, but theres no benefit of using 2x cr123's, as you get no extra voltage, and you actually lose capacity. If you want high voltage, the 18650 (3.7v) e-power will take take two cr123s, and wont regulate the output... or the LavaTube, which will take 1x IMR 18650, with a booster, for up to 6v... or the Buzz, which will take 2x 16340's, with a potentiometer, for up to 5.5v...

Are we sure this mod is an authentic Joye product? When I go to JoyeTech there is no mention of it and can not find it googling with them either - just tons of vendors selling them as Joye products...

Not that it matters that much - I was looking for more specs on it, but I found enough reviews on it that I think I found all I needed.

Thanks for the info. I am currently fine with regulated 3.5v, but I was just curious if using RCR123's (which are 4.2v each when fully charged) would overload and kill whatever circuity is inside the control piece. The information is more for a 'pinch' situation where I don't have any 18650's around. Cause I have several RCR123's at my disposal but only one 18650 and one 17670.

I know with LED flashlights if you have batteries that go too over the operating voltage it will destroy the LED. CR123's and RCR123's are much different in terms of voltage. CR123's are 3v at full capacity, RCR123's (or 16340's) are 4.2v when full, so the difference between two CR123's @ 6v and two RCR123 @ 8.4v is a pretty big difference.

So I am glad I could use two primary CR123's in a pinch, but I am more interested if two secondary RCR123's (16340s), with a much higher voltage, would do any damage to the control unit.

ITPython,... I see what you mean now. I am not sure. In my toying around, it seems to work, but I don't know if its hurting something, at the same time. What I can say, is we don't recommend it, and it will void your warranty. The device is designed for use with an 18650, that's how we advertise it, and that's how we cover it.

Cheers

has anyone done a review of this yet?

 

[Semiretired]

Yes. A pretty good one in fact.

[ImYourSalt]

Thats a thorough review. Thanks for the link Semi!

 

[Semiretired]

I have read a few reviews and have not seen the answer to this question. If someone knows can they post please...

I am assuming that the control unit has a low batt cutoff just like the regular Joye units. Does anyone know what the batts meter at when the batts are being pulled for a recharge?

Since the control unit maintains 3.5v (or 3.3v) does it cutoff when the batt drops below that level. Has anyone measured the batts at that point?

 

[ImYourSalt]

I'm not sure of the answer to that. Though it's probably safe to assume it would be the same as the normal EGO batteries. Joye is usually very consistent, in that regard.

 

[Semiretired]

Did you find out if the AW2900 fit in the tube?

 

[ImYourSalt]

I don't have any of those batteries, so I'm not sure how to test it. But Abe has a bunch of AW's in the UK. maybe he knows.

 

[Manete]

I'm looking forward to a "VV Control Unit" one day soon I hope

 

[ImYourSalt]

That would be sweet!

Though, I don't know if that is something Joye is planning to offer. They tend to focus on consistency and reliability first. Sort of like Apple. They seem more concerned with a seamless and reliable user experience, rather than adding in all the bells and whistles.

Smok Tech does have a nifty new VV. They call it the VMax. I just ordered a sample today. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Looks like a cross between the Buzz Pro, and the ProVari.

Most of the more solid companies stick with what works - it will be around the longest...
