My Echo is here!

[CdnBison]

Wow. Ordered from cdnvapor on Monday. It's here today. Take *that* Canada Post strike!

The online tracking still says it is in Edmonton.

Now to fill up some cartos and charge some batteries. I will be posting my thoughts in this thread and do a full review in the review section - both for the vendor and the Echo.

It should also be noted that they were nice enough to throw in a 808-510 adapter (that they started carrying *after* I ordered) and a dual-coil 510 carto. Appreciate it!

Quick first impressions:
OMFG! I filled a blank 808 carto up with some spearmint (which, on my RN4081, had been pretty punchless) and nearly got knocked on my ... with taste and TH. BIG mint hit, big vapor. Just pure wow.

Handsfree will be difficult with this bad boy. The 1300mah batteries are weighty. For vaping like this, though, I will learn to deal with it.

My RN4081 is going to be strictly a stealth vape unit from here on out.

Is it the battery or the cartos that are making the difference here? It looks like an ego threaded for KR808Ds. Definitely sounds interesting though.

Is that this: Genesis Electronic Cigarette and E-Liquid. genesis electronic cigarette echo complete kit ???

Looks like an Ego. Any reason why you chose it?

 

[CdnBison]

Concat: That looks like the same thing, yeah.
Here's the vendor link I used: Echo k808d-1 1300mah Starter kit

I'm not sure what is causing the difference. I would suspect the battery is a big reason. The 4081 is analog sized, so has a pretty tiny battery. The carto I'm using (for now) is for regular 808's, which would be similar.

Main reasons I chose it: battery life (full charge should last the day) and big cartos (so refills will be limited). It's got some solid reviews from what I found. It's no Reo Grand (but what is? ), but it should make it through the day without any issue.

The ECHO comes with cartos that hold more than an eGo tank

The ECHO comes with cartos that hold more than an eGo tank

And they're bottom mount horizontal coil cartos. Similar to the gogo, iGo, Bloog, and volt cartos

Ahhh good ol CDNVapor. I thought you had to order it from another country.

Speaking of CDNVapor, if a big battery is what you want.... http://www.cdnvapor.ca/Bauway_BW_155D_3000mah_p/me.ca monster 3000 mah kit.htm

That thing is ridiculously big.

 

[CdnBison]

Yeah, if I was going to get something that was sporting a battery that size, I'd probably get a bottomfeeder mod.

Not that such a purchase is out of the question... but not for a few months now. I'll settle in with my Echo and let the budget balance itself out a bit.

If you want a big battery P/V for cheap you can get the 510N from-> The 510-N for $40 but you get what you pay for & be aware it has unprotected batteries and no vent hole which you could fix with a drill & some AW IMR batteries.
