Being fairly new, I like the term Ego Style. It would be easier for newbies like me to understand.

It seems that the majority want to leaves things the way they are. "An object at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it."
Well, I'm unbalanced... so I'll just continue using the term I came up with: "Fat Batts" (it did come in second after all).
Not sure I agree with your interpretation of the data, Don. My math says it's 28 to "leave it" and 47 to change it. Maybe a runoff between leave it and Fat batts? Just a thought.
You are correct, of course. "Majority" was the wrong word. Plurality. If this were an election, a runoff would be appropriate.
Short of naming the category: "Ego-type Fat Coneheads," I think things will just putter along as they are, including me stubbornly resisting the will of the people (or, at least, 38.46% of them).
I still think "eGo-Style" is the best term all around. The other terms are to specific to either the manufacturer(eGo-Type/Like), or aspects which are either becoming less popular(cone), or confusing terms like fatty(because there ARE other fatty PVs/mods). Seems like the K.I.S.S. method is best for the name of these things.
I don't challenge your preference for "eGO-Style." [It is the particular model you own, after all.] But the only fatty non-mods are...Fat Batts. The essential attribute of all of them is high mAh (at least 650), so I would support something like "Hi-mAhs", especially if they come out with any that are skinny.
The name Ego type is rather confusing. Then again so is go "xerox" something... People eventually understand it is not meant to go use a Xerox, but a copier...
I think the best name is "The one you want after you have tried 4 mini's"... Perhaps a bit too long however... LOL.

Just FYI... "Vapor Tokers", a reseller in Hawaii is selling rebranded eGo's w/ mega atty's & carts and they named them "Fatty". Not sure about trademarking or inadvertent advertising issues. Thought you'd like to know...
Well, there is the Hello 16 which is fatt, yet has none of the other atributes of the eGo-Style batts. There are mods which are fatt, and that might be confusing for nUUBs. There is also a 1300 mAh Riva, which has it's own proprietary cone. Not compatible w/ the eGo stuffs.
I like Big Batts, and I cannot lie...
(Would my G400 900 mAh 808 qualify?)
That is exactly why big/fat batts need to be differentiated from eGo-Style batts. And the point of this thread. And no, thechnically, even though the G400 is a nice ecig and I'd like to own one it has no similarity to the eGo-Style batts.
I personally talk about them as minis, midis and maxis (i.e., the Chuck) with XL batteries. I don't care about whether a cone is mentioned or not, as some vape w/o the cone anyway.
Just a bit of insight as to why I named the forum the way I did. The eGo came first. It is the originator of this particular class of PVs, and the name is a "nod" to that fact.
Plus... I couldn't think of anything else that worked.

I always likened them more towards the cigar style of PV due to their size. I therefore christian them the Cohiba!
i'd lean towards "ego style" batteries because things like the pig cig for the 808s and whatnot are starting to come onto the market.
Slugger.... as in Louisville! Simple to the point and gives me the perfect mental image if I wasn't familiar with them already. Just my 2c.
"Eventual Paperweight" since the darn things keep dying on me! 6 out of 7 batteries were either DOA or expired shortly after the 28 day warranty. Still like them though.
I agree ... differentiate like fat 808's or fat 510's. I assume that's why they named the pig-cig. Definitely need a distinguishing category to discuss and compare these types.
definately "ego type". i originallr realy wanted it to be "fat batts" then i thought about it a little more. think about the online vape stores left hand category column. you click on starter kits. as the industry evolves this could be an example of what you would see:
510 starter kits
901 starter kits
ego type starter kits
stick type starter kits
and one more thing, concider this as an idea of evolved correction an ongoing problem were all familiar with:
you click on "PV starter kits".> you get:
ego type starter kits
stick type starter kits
ecig type starter kits (which would contain all the imitation cig types like 306's, kr808 etc)

901 starter kits
