Ordered my Echo kit on Monday from Cropduster901 and I got it yesterday.
Fast shipping considering he didn't even have them in stock Monday morning.
Full of flavor and great vapor production.
I've been using the Vortex's for the last 2 weeks and I would say the flavor level is the same.
I love having the auto batteries, these are an upgrade from my 808's, and I preferred the auto's I had of them.
I still use the vortex's on the echo bats and they work great.
I still haven't drained either battery, I charged one of them when I got the kit, and the other one overnight and they're still both going strong.
Filled 5 carts, they all took about 100+ drops before dripping out of the battery end.
I filled 2 yesterday and topped off today, and they only took another 25 drops before being full.
Considering a normal carto would only take 18+/- drops and last ~4 hours, that's great use of juice.
Great kit and great shipper!

The echo e seams to give a little bit of a stronger throat hit IMO , probably just because of it being manual. I have had both for quite a while ,and in comparison the standard has a slightly airy draw as where the e model is tighter on the draw. at this point I really can't pick a winner.

Bill or any one who has tried the echoE and the echo, can you do a comparison? Since I have 5 or 6 riva/ego batteries lying around, I would love to know how you think they compare. and thanks everyone for the different drip tip ideas, am I the only one who is not thrilled with the soft tips?
So far the 1300 battery on the echo is lasting forever, and significantly longer than the riva 1100's but that may be because I was using 306 atomizers.

I liked the soft whistle tip okay but they tend to get a little condensation and then it tastes like a little juice comes through but with the larger hole on the drip tips it allows the vapor to escape out. I have the echo-e carto too and it vapes real good for me on my Ego and Riva batteries. I haven't used it much because I'm loving the auto but it vaped better for me than the other ego cartos I've tried. It only holds 2.5 compared to 3.5 for the standard but with the cone fitting down over the battery they are a little more sturdy and I don't think you can break them as easy. It also has a slightly tighter draw than the standard being as the air slots arent cut quite as deep.

Hey Johnny welcome back! Have you had any luck with your website?

wow, the "e" has a tighter draw? I haven't fired up a "E" yet. I am looking forward to it.
welcome back.

Yes slightly tighter. How is it different in looks than your iGo or are they the same? Is the manual 1300 the same size as your iGo 1100?

looks to be the same length, battery is slightly larger in diamiter than the igo.
the auto has a slightly tighter draw than the igo.

 

[johnnybass]

Nice to be back, I can't say anything more than that. don't need any trouble..

I thought they were both 14 mm. How are you liking the auto? When you get used to it it is hard to go back to the manual. When I first started using it I was constantly spinning it around looking for the button. Now when I pick up the manual I keep thinking the battery is dead because I forget to push the button. lol

 

[johnnybass]

My problem is I have both a standard and an e model in rotation. i'll pull one out of my pocket and either forget to push the button , or look for it. I just probably need to stick to one or the other. One thing I have found out is that on the auto echo i always wrap a finger around it at the base of the cartomizer which covers two of the air holes slightly, so that tightens it up a bit. I did at this point have one cartomizer that did give me a problem ( had a slightly burnt taste after filling ) I ended up over filling it by about 1ml and just let it drip out the bottom , then I left it overnight and since then it has been vaping like a champ.

Hay Johnny, Very happy that you are out on parole. Whats up with your site? I could use a little help here. I do the same thing , switching from echo to echo-e on an 1100 ego batt.

what is the procedure to charge the echp auto?
is the charger light supposed to be green or red before screwing in the battery?
how does the battery react? flash? led stays on?
does the charger turn green when full charge is reached?

 

[melloyello]

on my echo, the battery end with the LED light turns off when its fully charged.

I have never thought to check the little light on the adapter itself.

It depends on which wall power supply you have. On my first one the wall plug stayed green, red led on battery came on when charging and goes out when charged and tiny led on bottom of charger, hard to see when plugged in, goes red to green when charged. The newest one the wall plug led turns red when charging and green when charged also the red led on end of battery turns on when charging and goes off when charged. The tiny led on bottom works the same but you can't see it anyways. The best way to tell regardless of which one you have is the red led on end of battery will go off when charged.

Has anyone noticed how quiet the Echo-e cartos are on Ego's? I really like this, so I'm thinking about selling my new stainless GoGo kit. I can't stand the noise it makes!

Yes, there isn't as much air noise on the standard Echo or the Echo-e, even less on the e-carto being as the air slots aren't cut quite as deep.

 

[MrBobVapor]

I guess we differ on the amount of noise because the echo-e (haven't tried the regular echo yet) seems to be very airy to me but I have gotten used to it and as I stated before, I am liking them. It has been about a week and I am still on my first cart with fairly heavy vaping. In contrast, my ego with a regular or LR cart has little air sound and a tight draw. Even when I use a atomizer with it there is little air noise. My experience anyway. I have read other comments about the echo's being airy as well. Haven't used the go-go either so I can't compare to that.

Now this is interesting. I have a completely different experience with the echo-e on my ego, a nice draw very similar to standard or dual cartos, not airy at all. Also not even close to as airy as the GoGo is and that's another reason I think I'm going to sell the GoGo kit. I just don't use it.
