Hi all.
Ego-C user here.
My 2 batteries have been dying over the last week after about 10 months of vaping. This puts them at about 5 months each of daily use, a fair life I suppose.
Now, I can go and buy 2 new batteries for $50 each or I was thinking of seeing what is inside the battery housing of the Ego. I have watched a couple of YouTube vids and it seems the housing can open at both ends without a great deal of difficulty. The threaded end pulls out and at the other end - the bottom - the small silver cap can pop out.
Now...
What kind of battery is in there? Is it just a rechargeable AA that can be replaced? I am assuming it is cheaper to buy a rechargeable 650mA battery from an electronics store than the whole housing from Janty.
Has anyone been inside this housing? Can this be done reasonably simply? I just don't want to throw away the whole thing (atty collar, carto sleeve)...seems wasteful and needless as everything is still working fine (if the battery would charge).
Thanks!
