Hello Vapers!
I received my Chrome Echo with 2 blank "echomizers" and the 1300mAh batteries on the 19th. The box is the most attractive of any e-cigarette packaging I've ever seen with the gold leaf and magic magnetic flap!
I don't know how they make the 1300mAh only 3/16ths of an inch longer than my mega cylinder eGo 900mAh (which I've been using for 6 months). I charged the batteries and tried dripping into the echomizer. After 12 or 13 drops of Chocolate (my fav), I realized using my syringe would be much quicker and more accurate because you don't want to get any e-juice in the atomizer opening in the center. I filled the syringe to 3ml stuck it along the side of the echomizer to the bottom and squeezed. Bingo! In about 2 seconds it was full and no muss or waiting for the filter to absorb it (it's somewhat compressed to start with).
Note: I would suggest removing the echomizer from the battery when filling and wiping the bottom (battery contact area of the echomizer) to avoid any possibility of fouling the battery.
I then screwed on the battery and began to vape at 4:30PM. Wow! Lots of vapor, but for some reason it didn't seem as though I was drawing hard enough to produce so much. This unit has an excellent light draw! Every hit was consistently the same (unlike my eGo) and more importantly it felt much cooler than my eGo which impressed me. Also the flavor was much richer, great throat hit and after a few hours it seemed the small 11mg nicotine was 16mg! Go figure!
I vape constantly (when conscious) so I continued getting consistent hits until 11PM that evening. I woke up at 5AM (I'm a morning person) and immediately began vaping. Every hit had excellent TH and cool, easy drawing with always consistent (and plentiful, flavorful vapor). around 5PM that evening I began to wonder when my Echo was going to stop. At 8PM the vapor pretty much stopped (with absolutely no burnt taste) and five minutes later the battery began flashing. I suddenly realized I had been vaping consistently (minus the 6 hour sleep) for 21.5 hours! Great Godfrey!
A few comments: If you have been using a manual e-cig for a period of time before getting your Echo, you will find yourself rotating your e-cig to find a button that is not there (much like an amputee still "feeling" their missing appendage). Also, the automatic battery works smoothly and effectively after holding it up to a blasting stereo, whacking the unit in my palm, etc. No cutoff as long as you are drawing. The Echo has the automatic technology down!
All in all, I can't think of a better personal vaporizer on the planet. You'll never be sorry investing in an Echo.
