Provided you don't have issues with your Hellatech 016, you will enjoy slightly more vapor from it compared to the Egonado. The main thing is the longer lasting battery.

I've had mine since last Monday, it came with no charge, I charged it for an hour then 'tested' it for a bit and since then, I charge it for 3.5 hours about every 24 hours. It's working fine. If this had been around sooner, I would have bought this instead of the Tornado/Ego. I still use my Tornego and some other units in rotation during each day because I like an assortment of flavors.

In short, you'll like it (if it is working). It is bigger though and I like the cone/atomizer that comes with it.:2cool:

Same here. I like the Hello very much. I charge it once every 24 hours. It takes 3 1/4 hours to charge. Slightly more vapor than the eGo. Looks great with or without the cone. I originally just bought the battery and charger. I'm expecting the actual cone/atomizers in my second order to come in any day now. I want to rotate between 2 batteries.

I like the eGo if I need something discreet, but basically enjoy the much longer lasting battery of the Hello more and more. It's really only slightly larger than the eGo, making it still relatively small but packing a punch. The only thing I don't like about it is the light because I generally don't like lights on my battery. It's easily hidden though with my fingers. Yeah, I would have chosen this over the eGo had it been out sooner. But now I know.

I'll still use my white eGo when driving though. Got pulled over once by the police and now I'll just try to blend in. He saw the blue light on my battery and thought I was talking on my cell phone while driving. That's why I use white eGo's in the car now.

I recently bought an 016 battery after losing my eGo. (boo!)

The vapor production is noticeably better, though my eGo never performed as well as I wish it would. The velvety rubberized coating feels wonderful and the button is nicer, as well. It also seems to stay charged for crazy amounts of time.

The cone atomizers get a bad/so-so rap. I would recommend pairing the battery with 510 cartomizers or standard 510 atties.

I've had the Ego,and 016 for several weeks now. The Ego was a improvement over the my old KR808 batteries,and the 016 is a noticeable improvement over the Ego. The battery lasts longer,and it comes off the charger at a higher voltage than the Ego. I get some great vapor off my 016 the first couple hours of use....after that it is very much like the Ego as far as performance. The button on the 016 is soft,and much more user friendly. I think you'll be happy with it.:D BTW...I'm strictly a carto user.

LiteCig is ECF approved. They have the Hello kit in stock, but the battery is out of stock. Hello-016

I measured the voltage of my Hello while several different carts and attys were in actual use. It regulates at 3 volts, regardless of the various load resistances. It continues to regulate at this voltage while it is being discharged.

Is anyone having a problem with the cartos not screwing all the way on to the battery? The only thing that screws all the way on (and then I unscrew it 1/4 turn) is a 510 atty. The cartos won't go on far enough nor will an adapter for 808s. Are they all the same or do different suppliers have different batteries.

That is the way mine is, but I don't call it a problem. These batteries do not have slots in the thread body like a 510 battery. I just screw a device on far enough to make an electrical contact. If a 510 carto is forced on all the way, there will not be any airflow. Some people have cut slots in the thread body so that they look like a regular 510 battery.

Some are different. I bought my kit from one supplier and a spare Batt from another and my coneatomizer would not screw down all the way onto the spare battery also be sure the switch doesn't stick on. I ruined the switch on my original one from the kit. The switch works better on my new one. They look identical but are definately different.
