I'm the first guy to jump on a deal with a good price, but with the eGo, I would recommend that you carefully read the Warranty terms of any site you are considering in addition to the price. It seems that there is no "manufacturer's warranty" as we are used to with other products. The warranties on the batteries and atomizers look like they only come from the retailer and vary from almost none, to up to six months depending on the retail site.

I have an eGo and I personally think its the BEST retail e-cig on the market right now. I started with a 510 but the battery life was killing me. The battery life on the eGo is fantastic, but therein lies the rub.

Threads here on ECF will verify that there appears to be a problem with the build quality of the button on some of the eGo batteries. One of mine started acting up within the first week (it would stay on by itself which could burn up the atty). I immediately checked the warranty offered by the site where I bought it and realized that they only offer a 14 day warranty on batteries AND THE WARRANTY BEGAN RUNNING FROM THE DAY YOU PLACED YOUR ORDER!! I have never, ever seen a warranty like that. Fortunately, I sent an email to the retailer within that time period and they are now sending out a new battery. However, other sites I have checked offer up to a six (6) month warranty.

Get an eGo, but also get a decent warranty.

Cignot is selling an ego version and their prices are usually pretty good and the customer service is so outstanding, they are almost legendary.

+1 for Cignot's eGo! their customer service can't be beat and the quality of their products is just outstanding.

it's definitely a good idea to always check to see what kind of warranty a vendor offers. as far as the button sticking, i had that issue come up a few times with my eGo and i just turned the button counter-clockwise and i haven't had it happen since.
