You're funny! Why wait to try it? I have some coming too and that's the 1st thing I'll do. If you wait till your Boge dies to try it and end up kicking yourself for waiting, what have you gained? imho
A carry idea for the 650 Echo. I normally put these in my shirt pocket but for those times when I am bending over a lot or don't have a shirt with a pocket on, I found this old eyeglass case - it's a Walgreens one I think. Perfect for slipping into the front pants pocket without worrying that I will snap off the connection or lose the tip.
Anyone found a charger that will work on these other than the stock charger? Li-Ion tech is good for at least 1C charge rates (some up to 5C). This should mean that we could safely charge the big ones at 1300ma and the small ones at 650ma allowing 1 hour charge rates. The stock charger's weak 150ma charge rate is way too slow. I only sleep about 6 hours per night, and it didn't even get my 1300 fully charged by the time I had to head out this morning 
. At 150ma, if you fully drain your 1300ma battery, it will take almost 9 hours to charge it up. I connected it to a stock KR808 charger to no avail, as well as a Riva charger and no dice. I'd really like to be able to charge them somewhere between 300-600ma.

I'd really like to be able to charge them somewhere between 300-600ma.i have noticed that my 3ml echo carto goes dry little before the battery dies. i go through almost 2 carto fulls per day and i vape maybe little more than the average person (maybe even twice as much). im my case, i get anywhere from 8 to 10 hours our of a full carto and 12-14 hours out of a fully charged battery. this thread reminds me of reading the go-go thread few weeks back, nothing but positive feedback, no leaking, nothing but plug-n-play. after couple months of using the ego and reg size cartos, even tho the repeated filling never really was a bother to me i now realize what its like to just fill the thing and not worry at all while i work. when im done working i fill once more, replace battery and im good until i go to bed at night. you that vape 3 ml's or less have finally found something that will last you all day (juice and battery included) without having to drag along something that looks like a walkie-talkie.
i was just looking at the same thing. it takes about 9 hours to charge an empty 1300 battery at 150mA, my riva charger puts out 420mA but obviously the threading doesnt work for the echo batt. wonder if a guy could use a 808/901-to-510 adapter on the charger? it would cut down the charging time to less than half.

I haven't really timed mine but I thought it was about 5 hours. I'm not home to check but why can't you just plug the USB plug into a higher MA charger or into your computer?
I have two sets so it really isn't a problem for me but 9 hrs is an awful long time.

Great post! I'm glad you like it as much as I do. I'm getting about 10-12 hours on a carto and about 16-18 on a battery. My PV is never out of reach and seldom out of my hand now with the auto I can even clench it with my teeth when I need or want too.
yes, the part that plugs into the wall can handle 500mA (it says so on the plug-in) but the adapter from that to the battery only gives out 150mA (also, says on the adapter). the battery i have is 1300mA so...if you do the math, its roughly 9 hours from empty to full.
I will have to check mine out when I get home this afternoon. Who did you get yours from? I got mine from cropdusters, maybe they are different. I can't understand why they would only have a 150 ma adaptor with a 500 ma charger unless for some reason the battery won't take that fast of a charge. Maybe has something to do with how they get 1300 mah out of that small of a battery. I know my other 1300 Ego was much longer with the same 14mm diameter. The other 1300 batteries are all 16.5 mm Diameter but shorter. I got about 17-18 hours of use out of the other 1300's except for the Go-Go I got as high as 21 hrs on it.

Reread my post and realize it might be confusing. My Boge Carto is probably two weeks old of steady vaping. I expect it to start under performing any day now. since the echo carto is supposed to last at least 100days, I don't expect to be able to tear it apart and see how the filler goes in and out for at least that long. No, I have an echo-e sitting right here at the starting line ready to go as soon as this boge runs dry. Which is any minute now.

I took the filler out of the echo carto I broke and it is almost identical to the Go-Go filler maybe a little fluffier but it was prertty new. It has the same two pieces of filler but a little bigger. BillB was able to use your method of cleaning and reinserting the filler in his iGo which has the same cone design as the Echo of course the e-carto will be a little smaller than the standard carto but I expect an expert like you won't have a problem with it.
I'm using the echo-e on my Riva 900 this morning and it is working very good also except I have to get used to pushing the button again. Like you said it is the carto on these that make them tick.
my 1300 battery just went dead, put it charging 1 minute ago...i will post back here when its fully charged.
i have also noticed that these batteries perform the same until they go dead. maybe the volt decline is so gradual that i dont notice it? TX, you said the go-go drops off somewhat noticable toward the end of the battery charge...have you noticed the same on the echo? unless my head is playing tricks on me, i dont see a decline in voltage.

Ok, thanks that is what I wanted to know. I thought maybe they got the wrong ones in a shipment. I'm going to get in touch with cropduster and see what he has to say about the situation.
By the way, not raining on the Echo parade here with the charging concerns. Love this unit other than the charge time.
My Rivas are 901 threaded, but I still needed a couple 808-901 adapters to get it to make contact with the Echo battery. Unfortunately, no joy.

Did you get yours from mtn vapor or Crpduster? I think cropdusters are 901 and mtn vapors are 808 threaded and have a blue led instead of red like the 901's. I'm not positive about that but is what I think.
