well i decided to try the rev V2.1 .. should be here tuesday or wednesday ... hopen its better than my ego T was .. I'll keep everyone posted
There have been variations since the first one, but the ones I use are 1400 mAh. The batt last all day, and LR works well on them.
check out the other thread, this is discussed at length. There is a newer version now, that has a flashlight/torch bulb in the end, instead of the (useless) disco lights. That is a good idea, but they have lowered the batt capacity to 800 mAh now. Still OK, but LR hits the batts harder, I would rather have the 1400 mAh version.
Still, it is a fixed 3.7-ish volt device, it's plastic. I use a lanyard on mine constantly, it is my 'outdoor device'. One tip I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere much, is that filling it only half-way up is good, if you want to lay it on it's side. Fill it full, it could leak. No defect, it's just gravity. That's still 5 ml of juice, I think.
USD $40-$50 ? All-day batt? 10 ml of juice? Internal storage space for a spare carto? No disassembly needed to recharge? Built-in passthrouth? Get one for a backup, if nothing else. Most of us have spent more at some point, and gotten less.
Eastsidetoker: you did check out the other thread? the 3 ohm cartos that come with it are completely inadequate, of course?
