I have a question for you. How can you say its a better deal than Janty?
Granted, you do get 2 attys, 5 more carts but you get a reg charger, hence the adapter, Janty gives you the rapid charger and that takes 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to charge where the reg one takes 6 hrs. Also, the warranty is only 28days from TW and Janty has a 6 month warranty on attys and 3 months on the batts.
I believe the Janty IS the better deal, no?
Other than that, a very good review!

Are you implying that the eGo kit from Janty comes with the super fast usb charger?

'The eGo can be charged via our SUPERFAST USB CHARGER (1.5-2 hours charging), or the inluded wall adapter'

Correct. I believe it is something you can purchase from janty but it doesn't come with it. But not positively sure about that. As for the standard charger it takes about 4 1/2 hours to charge a battery that's completely dead.

my eGos came all with the rapid charger, i didn't even know someone would bundle a 510 charger with the ego ... ehhr tornado

[edit] jantys wording about wallcharger and usb adapter is a bit off. they should have written : Rapid-USB-Charger and AC-USB -Adapter

*hint for mik*

but thats what you get.

Right....

You can't just buy an eGo/Tornado battery and get the experience.

You'd need to buy the battery AND the cone (the cone isn't just for looks...). And then you'd need a way to charge them. You can get the battery extender from TW (and other places) and that will let you charge them on a standard 510 charger.. but it will take like 4+ hours for them to be completely charged. The special "rapid charger" knocks that down to 1-1.5 hours.

P.S. Personally I can vape an eGo battery down faster than the spare can charge on a standard 510 charger.

With the cone sealing in the atty, wont you have leaks that pool up in there that you could normally identify otherwise?

Is it fairly easy to drip on it, or is the atty recessed below the cone?

You say it lasts you 10 hours, TW says it lasts 6 hours, and also says it lasts 8-12 hours. Im curious how long a normal 510 battery lasts you?

Normal: 180mah
Mega: 280 mah (i believe)
Tornado: 650 mah

based on mah it should last a little more than 3.5 times as long as a normal battery which would seem to be down closer to 4-5 hour range (for me at least).

The most interesting thing is the performance as you stated, that it is great from start to finish compared to the smaller batteries. Is this simply a function of a larger battery, load vs capacity?

Thanks for the review!
