batteries, carts, cone, atomizer, pouch, charger would give you everything that comes with a set.

------------

by the way Mik, in case you want to pass it along, I noticed last night when on the site that if you click Sets and then eGo in the black Categories section on the right it takes you here: Janty USA - eGo SET - Black where you only see the black set instead of here: Janty USA - eGo SET where you can see all of the sets.

Thyestean, first of all, this is a really useful and systematic review. Thank you. Second, I would like your opinion on something. I, too, vape fairly heavily, and I have also observed that 14500 batteries (900 mah) last about 5-6 hours. I also agree that the eGo batteries (650 mah) last between 10 and 11 hours. We know that the mah determines how long a batteries should last. So, how is it that the eGo batteries last so much longer while being listed at only about 2/3 of the 14500's mah? Are the 14500's more over rated than we ever thought? Even if they are, the math still doesn't work with the 14500 batteries in the mix.

Mik, maybe this is a question for you. What is qualitatively different about the eGo batteries? Are they in some way different?

Yes. They are manufactured in a zero gravity room by three different engineers who only share one thing: Fear of frogs.

Now, the process itself is pretty simple. You begin by rounding up a number of cattle. It doesnt really matter how many there are, as long as they all are perfectly synchronized and well fed. Then you bring the dog. This is not just any dog but a mix between a greyhound and a french bulldog. It has a very flat face, and runs fast, which comes in handy for the next step.

The dog is then placed infront of a large barn with a very small hole - the hole is only slighter smaller than the dog but covered in butter. The dog itself has been painted red. The flute ( i can not tell you specifics about the origin of the flute, but legend has it that the mayans used it to make cocoa or kill infant children - the translation is not very specific ) is then activated by a virgin and when the shrieking sound pierces the air, the cattle begins stampeding.

The cattle are positioned exactly 521 feet away from the dog (whose name is lucky by weird misfortune) and as they run towards the dog, the virgin begins lowering the shrieking tone of the flute gradually down till it becomes a low rumbling tone which both aggrevates the cattle so that they speed up by exactly 1.24 miles per hour at the last 78 feet of the run towards the dog, BUT also calms the dog enough for it to simply stay still infront of the butter-covered hole.

Exactly 7 seconds before the dog is impacted, chinese technicians on the inside of the barn will activate the green lever which will release 1750 AA batteries which will roll chaoticly down from each side of the barn, on two giant slides, which - if executed correctly will make all the batteries pile up infront of the giant cone which is made entirely of diamonds.

As the stampeding cattle impacts the dog, the dog shoots inside the barn at a speed of 470 miles per hour, but 0.3 seconds before it actually hits the great diamond cone, all the batteries have been piled up directly infront of it, and by sheer force of Lucky's forehead being violently thrust forward by the impact motion all the batteries get forced into the giant diamond cone, and due to this force all these batteries then gets violently mashed through the cone, ending up in one single eGo battery which is being held together by solid adamantite chains.

The eGo battery is then sealed and put into its box.

So as you see, its quite simple - but it can be problematic at times.

The current delay we have on our eGo sets at the moment, is incorrectly being perceived as due to the Chinese New Year, but actually Lucky has the flu - which as you can imagine brings the whole operation out of sync.

But not to worry, he is definately getting better, so hopefully we will be stocked up soon.

;)

First let me say thanks.

Second, I haven't gotten around to watching/reading other eGo reviews(with the exception of 1 or 2) so it is good to see that my times per charge in relation to other batteries isn't just mine alone.

Third, I have a suspicion about the reason behind it but being that I really have no clue about these kinds of things, the fact that I'm not positive of the accuracy of the things which I'm basing those suspicions off of, and the fact that even if those things are accurate my suspicions still don't quite add up to making complete sense of it, I would have to defer to Miks explanation. :)

(yes Richie I think this one is longer :p )

lol okay thanks for the laugh Mik.

For some odd reason though, when I got to here......
The flute ( i can not tell you specifics about the origin of the flute ....

something inside my head suddenly yelled.... "This one time... at band camp....." :D

Like most of you, I went from the entry level auto that introduced me to vaping to the more efficient and longer lasting manual "button style" 510 batteries.

That being said, I never really enjoyed the idea of pushing a button every time I vaped. It feels unnatural and I can't hold the PV in a way that's comfortable for me.

So although I wanted a manual eGo, there was none in stock. So rather than go out and buy myself a pack of newport shorts in a box (ugh) I bit the bullet and overnighted my auto battery eGo asap.

So here's my "night" review. I haven't gone through an 8hr work day yet, so I'll get back to the forum with that review as well.

So I went out last night with a fully charged eGo and half used cart and a brand new cart. The entire night, no problems, and really great vapes the all the way through! And this was with non stop vaping at Marrakech (a hookah bar) in San Francisco. They asked me about it, I explained, and it was over. No problems with security or vapor production all night!

I did have to change the 1/2 used cart, of course, but that was to be expected. Either way I'm very, very impressed. There has been no drop in production that is not based on the carts since it's full charge yesterday. It's official. No more button pushing for me!

Once people realize just how great these automatic versions work, people are going to be switching back in droves.
