My first review so don't flame me too much.

A local shop got some E.V.O.s (Akston Hughes, 3VO... whatever...) in, so after a couple of weeks of convincing I decided to give it a shot. The biggest draw for me was the body turning into a cap that will cover almost anything you can attach to a eGo. Pretty much anything except large tanks fit. Vision CE2s, Vision eGo tanks look great, regular eGo tanks, Boge carto with a Cherry Vapes ming vase tip, even the slim Smoketech tanks fits. This comes in handy if you ride. I can tuck in, ride hard and still have a dry pocket and a working e-cig when I stop.

As far as power...this thing kicks my .... I still have yet to want to use anything more than the lowest level. Hits so much harder than my Lavatube at similar voltages, not even a comparison to eGo batteries or even a normal (non VV) 18650 mod. I don't recommend using any LR attachments. I had a LR Vision eGo on there and it popped out. Have a 3 ohm Vision CE2 on now and it's more than enough power.

Batteries last surprisingly long. I usually charge at night but skipped a night and never noticed the power drop. Made it through to the next night's charge blazing like a champ. The charger is odd but works quickly even when powered through USB. One issue is that there is no AC adapter... but who these days doesn't have a AC to USB plug or a computer or a Car USB adapter or USB power in their wall outlets or portable USB backup batteries.... you get the point. If you really don't have one go to ebay and buy one for a buck.

Summary....

Appearance. Looks great, great finish, smaller than most tube style mods, doesn't feel or look cheap like some other popular mods.
Cost. Very reasonable price. Was cheaper than my LT which I thought was a great price.
Power. Huge power, maybe too much for some fluids, atties and lighter vapers. Supposedly I can use a single battery and reduce it's power buy I haven't crossed that bridge and probably won't.
Drawbacks. No AC adapter. Threads are a little tight. Has issues threading devices occasionally.

Would I recommend? Absolutely. Doesn't have the fine tuning of the LavaTube but has a much more consistent power delivery.
