I could not agree more - right down to my previous reviews on the cap - they need to offer replacement caps. I would even suggest little silicon/rubber replacement end caps.

I've used mine from Rob on and off now, and love it every bit as much as the original Janty version I bought a month or so ago.

The other thing to remember - the usb cord is a standard mini-usb cord, and that means two great things for you - if you lose it, you can easily replace the cord (minis are used a lot for cameras), and also - charge & use in the car with a usb/cigarette lighter adapter. That is a HUGE selling point for me, as we take a lot of 6 hour road trips. I can charge & vape during the drive, and pop it off and I'm good to go at my destination.

Oh, also - you'll find that if you use one of Rob's drip tips (.99 permanently now? killer!) with a good LR atty, you almost never, EVER touch your atty unless you want to go from one radical flavor to another. But for the most part, just cycle through complementary juices (chocolate-mint transfers REALLY well to cherry cola, I found out today) and you might unscrew your cone once a week like I do for some basic maintenance like wiping it down/blowing it out. Seriously, it doesn't get any better than that in my opinion.

Good tips Shanagan, especially about the usb cord. I should've mentioned that in my review, but honestly didn't think about it at the time. Thanks for the tips!

I would guess its just charging the battery while plugged in, and doesn't become a true "pass-through" - unless its got some very fancy circuitry in there - so should still be 3.7v

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be

a vendor i spoke to confirmed this...he said they stay in that 3.7 V range...not 5V.

Yeah, i don't think it is more than the 3.7v. I think some have gotten confused because BigIceDog did a review today and said they are at 5v when connected. That was a different vendor though, I doubt they are running at 5v, as they "probably" come from the same manufacturer... I could be wrong, but that is my take on it...

The only thing I wonder is it actually higher than the 650mah. When I compared today side by side it is the same size as the eGo XL. Maybe Rob could confirm if that is a possibility or if it is for sure 650mah...

I would have to say that the only thing Joye has to look forward to, is that 5v circuitry.
Or a variable voltage wheel.

Other than that, not much needs to be improved.


(I might not have mentioned this for a long time, but it is why I started selling Joye again)
Because, the Joye eGo WAS designed around the Joye 510 LR atomizers.
They simulate 5volts without using 5v power.

If anyone has used a Joye 510 LR atomizer on an eGo, they know what I am talking about.
