larger battery options for 510?

[SeanFromIthaca]

hi there, I've got a standard Joye510 and I was wondering what I could do to increase battery life

I've heard some people say they use eGo batteries, and then I think there's the option of MEGA batteries from TotallyWicked

but will eGo batteries fit in my battery charger -- I know the MEGA ones won't

also, will MEGA batteries from TW fit on my standard atties, or will I have to buy new batteries and cartridges and cartos if I start using TW MEGA batts

ideally I'd like to get a 4-battery charger too, so I want to make sure I'm settled on a battery before I buy it

You can buy any 510 battery and you will be fine. The 510 charger will charge a mega 510 or ego battery. Charging the Ego battery will take a while though as the ego charger is a rapid charger.

One option to consider is getting the new style ego battery that is also a passthrough. They have a USB connector on the end of it... This is probably the best option outside of buying an ego kit.

Edit: The mega won't fit your charger? Not sure what kind of charger you have as they simply screw on? Unless you are using a PCC or something.

Pretty much any of the mods will have a 510 connection option and if not, there are converters from anything to anything.

I think the biggest factor is how big a device do you want overall and possibly how heavy. After picking that, you'll have batt size in mind and can follow thru from there.

I agree with doc get a big battery that has the usb front charge, you can normally get them for around 20 bucks and they are compatible with your other 510 stuff.

INFERNO - Super Battery
Electronic Cigarette - Pass-throughs - Joye eGo

note: you don't need a special cord to charge these you just need any usb cord with a mini connection on one end. (popular in some cell phones, many cameras, and most external hard drives)

 

[DocWyatt]

Golden, do the USB eGO battery PT also charge the EGO battery or simply act as a PT? I have not used one yet and wasn't certain. I assume they charge also, but not sure.

Edit: Opps, you put a note that they charge.

Your 510 charger WILL charge the mega batteries. Your PCC may not fit them, but the charger will charge them just fine. The charger will actually charge an eGo as well (not your PCC), but it will take a long time. I'd get an eGo and an eGo charger. Or...I'd get an eGo passthrough as suggested above. You can get a full eGo kit with two of everything (totally interchangeable with your 510 stuff) for relatively cheap....around $50.

I know this battery: FreedomSmokeUSA doesn't act as a passthrough but would that thing really provide 9 hours??? I divided 900mAH by the 180mAH and got five, and since my regular 510 batteries last about 2 hours during my busy vaping sessions, does that mean it's ten hours since it's five times as much capacity, or is it non-linear -- I mean, I know most places overestimate how long a battery will last so they can sell more of em, either that or I just vape more than most people

also, can I buy the fast-charging eGo charger and use it on regular 510 batteries, or this one I just linked from FSUSA?

I know you guys already said stuff is pretty much interchangeable, but I just want to doublecheck -- don't want to fry anything

P.S. I don't really need a passthrough as I already have one for when I'm at the computer -- I just want to be able to take two batteries away from the house for as long as 16 hours and not have to need a third battery

I have a 900mah eGo and that battery will last longer than 9 hours, believe me. I use it from the time I wake up until I go to bed before I put it on the charger and it still hasn't been vaped dead. My fiance's will last at least a day and half, sometimes longer and he has used it until it ran out of charge.

You'd have to vape on it near constantly in order to run out the charge after 9 hours.

 

[JC Okie]

NOOOOOOOOOO The eGo charger will fry your 510 batteries. It can go the other way (will just be slower) but the eGo or Tornado chargers are too powerful for the regular 510 or even the 510 mega batteries. You really should just get an eGo kit. Really. Would solve so many problems. I love the eGo.

 

[DocWyatt]

The point of maybe getting an eGO PT battery as you can charge it or use it as a battery - either. You don't really have an eGO charger but you can charge an ego battery - it will just take a long time using a 510 charger.

I think 9 hours is a reach. My 650 lasts maybe 4 hours for me, but this largely depends on how much you vape.

If you wait for a sale Liberty Flights has had the EGO kits for $40.

Edit: One more thing to note - if you buy just an ego battery also order a cone. You don't need it, but good cosmetically.

 

[SeanFromIthaca]

okay, well thanks everybody

I think what I'll do for now is just buy a 900mAH battery and use it to augment my two 510 batteries

 

[SeanFromIthaca]

okay doc that's a relief -- I was just looking at jantyworld and it was $85... too steep for me if I can just buy a 900mAH ego battery that will work on my 510 --

I probably will get an eGo down the road, but I'm just wondering how long it will take to charge that 900mAH battery on the 510 charger -- also, will the green light go on once it's charged? I hope so...

maybe I'll just buy the eGo charger as well

 

[chimney55]

I first bought the 510 (with charger, etc.) When I bought my eGo battery, I also got an adapter for the 510 charger because I was told that I would need one. Cignot.com sells them for $4. I also recently noticed that they sell ego batteries that act as a PT. Joye eGo Passthru

 

[Cranston McCloud]

I ordered mine from Cignot. Check the site. They have eGo's with several battery options. I just ordered the 1000mAh size. My kit should be here today or tomorrow. I will try to get back to you after a day or two of use.

Someone posted in another thread that LF will have the EGO on sale for $40 again on Black Friday. Not sure how they know this, but they do have sales every few weeks. But those sales are always limited to 50 units and they last maybe 1 day.

Edit: Keep in mind that an EGO kit generally comes with 2 510 atomizers as well and those generally run $8 each. You will need more atty's anyhow with your 510 - so the eGO kit is the way to go if you can get a sale.

Which is LF? And how is their turn around?

Liberty Flights. Their service is fine.

 

[bubba2u]

Check this thread - where L-F tells us they will be:
Black Friday - eGo Kits $40

;o)

 

[Princessa]

Oh yeah, and I'd say so far, of the 4 or 5 vendors I've purchased from, L-F has had the shortest turnaround per order. Even shorter than the one only one state away from me - literally a 4 hr drive took longer than cross-country ;o)
