Echo-E Cartos:

I got my shipment from Cropduster and have been using an Echo-E carto on an Ego-T Battery most of the day. It's great and works flawlessly. Taste and vapor on my favorite juice is excellent and consistent. So, I'd have to say that the Echo-E carto performs better than anything I've tried on my Ego-T batteries. I'll go ahead and say it - it outperforms my GoGo with the same juice. The flavor and vapor are actually better than the GoGo in my opinion.

Sorry everone , one of my orders is in customs at S.F. airport and one more landing tonight. Should have lots of stuff by monday. Also have two more orders due by the end of this week. I will do my best to keep up. Very big order being placed next week also . Got a little better handle on what most of you want . I would also like to thank you vapers for being so understanding.

The echo-e does work very good on the 1000 ego batteries but I like the automatic Echo better being as it holds .5 ml more of juice and I love the battery. That being said the echo-e works better on the ego than anything I've used with it before. I thought all my ego batteries were doomed to stay in the junk drawer.:2cool:

this confuses me. if it puts out 150mA/hr, how can it charge in couple hours if the battery is over 1000mA?

Either the battery is not of the advertised capacity, the charger is mislabeled, or the charger is not very well regulated.

I'm going to sit down at my bench today with a meter and see if I can figure out what is different in initiatiation between the Riva and Echo. Then I will see if I can build a charge station to work with my hobby charger from hobbyking.

please post your results if you come up with something. i dont think the igo battery is labeled wrong, my guess is the charger. my riva charger says 420mA and it charges a 750 batt in about an hour and a half. i really really love the echo...but i think its ridiculous to wait 10 hours for a full charge. (especially since i drain a battery in 9 hours sometimes)

I cut apart a KR808 CE2 carto and made up a charging connector for the ego to my hobby batt charger. Checked polarity by sucking on the tube and it is center positive. I then plugged it into my hobby charger and set it for .1a (100ma for testing purposes). Doesn't work, the smart circuitry in both argue with each other. The charger checks for voltage and stops before the mosfet in the batt opens the circuit to the battery. I get two quick blinks from the battery, then low voltage error on the charger. Looks like this will not be the solution.

I think I can force the mosfet open by putting an 18650 Li-Ion in parallel with the charging circuit, but I will need to isolate the batteries from each other. If not isolated, they will try to quickly balance themselves and I could let the smoke out of the whole thing. I'll keep those interested posted.

I bought two sets so it really isn't a problem for me but it baffles me as to why the slow rate and it definately would be a problem for a person with one set. Puffer did you say you are draining one of these 1300's in 9 hours sometimes? I got 17-18 hours on the one I timed using it excluseively and I vape pretty heavy at least I thought I did. lol

yes yesterday it lasted me 9 hours and i used it non stop (trust me,i did lol). typically the battery lasts me 14 hours but yesterday i put it through the wringer. i went through 7 ml of juice during that time.

Wow! You're a heavy vaper alright! That is about twice the juice I go through with these. I went through about 5 ml with other devices but I don't use as much juice with the Echo.

Yikes! 8-o I thought I vaped a lot at 4.5 - 5 ml but you make me look like a light weight! :laugh:

But at least you're vaping now and not burning the stinky stix! :D
