Quick test for the quality of Ego/Evod batteries.

[Shirtbloke]

Here's a quick test to tell the quality of Ego/Evod batteries.

So what you can see in the above photo is, from left to right, a genuine joyetech Ego Twist, an Evod which may or not be genuine, and a no-name Ego style battery that came in a blister pack starter kit.

The quality test is to count the outside threads. The joyetech has 7, the Evod has 6, and the no-name has 5.

Of the three the Joyetech is still working well, the Evod still works well though it's newer and hasn't had as much use, and the no-name is dead with stripped internal threads so it won't screw onto a charger.

not always the case. i have a K5? evod style battery- brand new at 900MAH, lasts as long as a 400mah, and it has 7 threads.


my genuine +3 year joyetech 650mah has 5 threads and it still out performs every ego ive gotten

Yes it's not a perfect measure, but if they've skimped on the threads what else have they skimped on?

I have a smoktech winder nearing the end of its life at about 7 months. It has been a great battery. It has 5 external threads. The first poc starter kit battery I got died after a couple months fom the 510 stripping out like you mentioned also has 5 threads. I keep it around as a keep sake. So I would have to say that your observation realy has no bearing on the quality of the battery or its components Imo.

Anyone have a fix for the 510 threads stripping out so you can't charge it anymore?

I've used a piece of folded paper inserted between the threads and the charger - sometimes works sometimes doesn't.

You're welcome.

And do the better quality batteries have more threads?

My theory seems to be falling by the wayside.
I apologise for leading you all astray.

It's a pretty good measure. A better one is - if it says 'Joyetech' on it. (there were some earlier Joyes that didn't have as many as today's eGo-t's and c's. )
