The e-v Torch

[AlbertaClipper]

I thought I may as well start a new thread for this one, and as people get them we can chat about 'em.

I've been checking mine out. At the moment the batts are charging for their inaugural 8 hours.

It seems to be the same battery that you can see here but e-v's unit does not use the eGo tank. It has an atty that looks like the eGo Mega atty in conjunction with a cart that closely resembles the SmartTank carts.

The atty fits a regular eGo batt but doesn't accept a regular mega cart, nor a standard cart. It "fits" an eGo tank cart, but of course it isn't designed to work with one since it doesn't use a needle (uses a bridge, like the mega atty).

I did some digging online and I think the manufacturer calls it an "e-firefly". It's kinda neat cuz you can see the batt charge from the color changes on it, and it's a flashlight too. Blue - 75 -100% , Green - 50 - 75%, Yellow - 25- 50%, Red - 0-25%

I went with the silver 900 mAh but they have black, and 650. My kit has two of those cool batts, two attys, and 5 carts.

I couldn't help myself...had to get it. It's like when you smell a fresh cuppa coffee. These things were right off the truck, and exclusive to e-v (or at least they're the first in Canada to get em) and I got caught up.

Pretty cool!

Forgive the noobie question, but the battery fits regular 510 and Ego atties rights? Like I could just order the battery and use my existing hardware right?

 

[hotone]

I love it, or at least the concept. Doubt I will ever buy one personally. The flash light feature is fun and could help disguise it's real purpose. I could see this would be great device for traveling or carrying on airplanes.

Yes, it does fit 510, which I like very much. However, they only have the complete kits at this time. At least I think so, cuz when I asked about extra atties, I was told that they didn't have "parts" at this time. It's a great gift idea (for yourself).

Yeah I have no need for a kit at the moment. I just think the flashlight idea is cool. I'm always using my phone screen as one after all... haha

 

[BlondieLocs]

Haha... That's what happened last night when I was comparing the Torch atty to the eGo T atty - I was using my iPhone as a flashlight. Kat took the Torch battery and turned on the flashlight for me. Show-off.

I also apparently ended up with a Torch. My BF - WHO DOES NOT SMOKE OR VAPE - bought a kit because he liked the pretty lights. ~sigh~

Boys and their toys indeed. BlondieLocs BF is what you would expect, kick ... dude who looks like he can kick some but. Very nice guy too. Bring him again if it schedules work. Vape Social was our largest yet. Lots of fun. Nice to meet everyone.Next time we need more room. Sorry I unable to talk to everyone!

Don't get me started on his toys...

There is currently a chopper frame in the middle of my living room (he swears he's going to finish the damn thing and get it out in the next couple months... I'm not holding my breath). He has another 6 or 7 bikes in pieces in the basement. His Harley and Triumph are in the neighbour's garage... in addition to my Hummer and his truck, there is an '87 Firebird and a '53 Mercury Stepside in the driveway (another restoration he has yet to start).

A couple days ago he took me to look at the new toy hauler he wants (apparently ours is no longer good enough)... and today he was showing me pics of a new Harley he's interested in. I finally had to tell him NO - Sell SOMETHING first.

Okay... you got me started.

 

[AlbertaClipper]

... in addition to my Hummer

You mean the "fire truck", right??

/inside joke...I thought Blondie was a volunteer firefighter.

 

[SilverWorx]

Hey Alberta,

Got my Torch today and it's on the charger for 8 hours ... 4 1/2 to go LOL

So being very new to vaping and the fact that I started with a 510 ... how do you fill the cartridge?? syringe?? There never seems to be enough info for newbies

Also, can I buy an extra ego charger for this battery?

Compared to the 510 that atty is HUGE LOL

Thans for the help

 

[IanK1968]

Welcome SilverWorx, I to am an ego user and probably as new as you to vaping. I dont know anything about the torch except it looks purty, I just wanted to welcome you in.

 

[SilverWorx]

Duh!!!

OK ... I heard back from EV ... thanks EV ... darn newbies (meaning me) LOL

So Alberta, how's the Torch working out for you?

 

[SilverWorx]

Thanks IK ... this is such a fun place to be and I am totally addicted to ecf LOL

 

[AlbertaClipper]

I had to step out for awhile there...sorry if this is late. I got to your PM before I saw this, but for the benefit of others, I'll add that I fill these the same way that I do for SmartCarts.

Those batteries are soooo nice and I'm really liking them!

 

[Nemoski]

so i do have to leave it on the charger for 8 hours hmmm may i ask y you have to leave batts on the charger after the light goes green to take them off ? iv always wondered it

 

[AlbertaClipper]

Yes, the instructions for this battery (as well as for regular eGos) is to keep it charging for 8 hours for the initial charging session, even though the light is green on the charger. For subsequent charges you don't need to leave it on that long.

 

[Nemoski]

hmm ok yea i just got my torch can wait to use it tmr

I think the consensus is that the 8 hours is leftover literature from the old Ni-Cad battery days. These new batteries do not have memory issues.

I have never given any PV battery an 8 hour charge, and have never had any battery problems.
