Barry: Go on fasttech and type in EGO battery in the search and look at the deals! They all come with a USB charger, too!

I was wondering if that fixed variable one with the 3.6, 3.8 and 4.2V adjustments came with a charger or not, I guess so then?

Either way that deal I got with the 900mAh Ego T, full charger, case, clearo and the needle tip bottle was sick, I'm just saying if I ordered a Vision Spinner elsewhere and say it comes in Thursday, I won't have a charger for it til my fasttech order comes in, probably mid next week and that will be even worse lol. I'll get a tease with a half charged batt and then not get to use it again til the following week cause I refuse to buy an $8 charger with the Spinner when I have a charger coming a week later. Yeah, I'm a little cheap I guess haha.

    Really? I guess I should say, all of the ones I have seen appear to come with a USB charger! Sorry, Daleron!

    Oh, I'm not complaining - I had one from Vapor Girl that did the job just fine & I'm very happy with my order:) Just don't want folks getting upset if they don't get one; read the fine print!!!:laugh:
    Battery, keychain screwdriver, dripper bottles, cherry juice & a mini VIVI NOVA (which I forgot to order spare coils for).

    Mixed reviews.. I've had knock-off egos that outlasted the egos.. Sometimes, the knock off is better.. sometimes not.. I really only have issues with DCT tanks that come with the super sized slotted cartos... so I make sure I by a lot of real carts that I do like, and spend a lot less on the tanks!!

    Now I think I see what you mean, the punch in the cart at the bottom could fit a quarter and there's one on both sides haha.

    First time using these tanks, should I wash them out with hot water and then some vodka or something?

    I placed a order with fasttech on May 3rd for some clearo's, wicks, a couple ego batteries and a couple of longazz Ipad charging cords. It showed up on May 17 and I had to sign for it at the post office. OMG It took 2 weeks for it to get frm China to "MiddleOfNowhere" BC.. I'm very happy with that shipping time. I'm setting up another order cause I can't get a package across canada in less than 10 days but from China in 14 days, thats great.
    There are some top shelf juice vendors here in Canada so I won't have any juices in my fasttech nor prolly any american vendor I use. Getting the hardware is easy through customs..its the juices that can stall a package for undetermined time.

    Just ensure that the wicking material is just saturated. Don't hit da 'fire' button' 'til then!

    LOL, yeah I thought about it, that was a dumb question.

    How about CE5 and CE4 clearo's? Should I be washing off the heads and wicks and dry burning before first use?

    I read so much on this stuff prior to ordering, but now that it's in my hand it's all a bit intimidating haha.

    Just my personal point of view, but I wash every clearo in hot soapy water before I use it. You never know if there are residuals / plastic / metal particles in the tank. If you want proof, fill a brand new CE4 up with clean water and look at it in the light - you'll see an oily sheen on the surface of the water. That's my experience, yours may vary.
    You wouldn't buy a fry pan from walmart and throw a 12oz ribeye in there without washing it now would you?

    Good point. I actually did on one of them, but I got too excited and filled one without cleaning it. Doh!

    Overall these seem pretty awesome although I'm not getting a ton of flavor.

    Here's part of my order. :2cool:

    Very nice! I got that from FastTech a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it quite a bit. It was also a good deal cheaper than similar LCD VV eGo style batteries I was looking at :)

    I've found that the shipping time from FastTech is a bit slower than US venders, but MUCH faster then some other China based companies like DealExtreme; and still free shipping!

    Nice!
    I just got one of those in on Friday (also from FastTech).

    Heads up: after only a few days of use the silicone button / rubber band is starting to split around the edge of the button. If I had to guess, I'd say the hole for the button has a sharp edge and is cutting through the silicone. It's not a big deal to me, and should be an easy fix. If not, I'll contact them and see what they say. I hear they have decent CS...
    Don't let that get you down though, it seems to be a good battery, and my introduction to VV has been (and no doubt will continue to be) a great learning experience and lots of fun!
