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.

It is just the sound of the air going in we are talking about and comparing it to the Go-Go which is a little noisy until you get use to it. Airflow is very important for a cartomizer so I don't limit mine in any way but some do. It is all up to what works for you.

Wanted to drop a line and say thanks for this one, and all the valuable info txtumbleweed. I've gone from conventional smoke shop purchased kits like the 51 Duo, Edge, to the Ego and Ego-T, now to this Echo. Excellent low maintenance PV! When the claims of a cart lasting all day and the 1300 MaH bat lasting the same is true for the average vaper. I've been in the background looking at what others have recommended here, and the ECHO fit the bill perfectly. I do a lot of work which utilize both hands, and having the auto batt's really is a convenient feature. Also these Echo's haven't leaked at all except when I overfill the carts with juice. That simply take a blow or two and they're good to go. I also have a couple EGO's still hanging around, and the ECHO-E cart works really nicely on the EGO batteries as well. I purchased my kits (two stainless 650's, one black 1300) from Cropduster and had excellent customer service, shipped very fast.

To those out there looking for a great PV which requires less maintenance and less hassle I'd definitely look into this ECHO. I've been really happy with mine!

That's great, I'm glad it is working good for you too. If you need to grip it with your teeth often you might want to try the aluminum 801 whistle drip tips from Ikenvape. They really work good with the Echo.

I'll second that - good fit and blends right in on the stainless.

Thanks for this info! Curious on how tight they fit in the cart? I had one of my 1300's in my mouth while on a summit last week, I was messing around in my pack getting my camera out for some pics when the weight on the rubber one pulled the unit off the tip. It dropped on the rock up there, scratched it a little but it still works great.

They fit very tight and won't come off unless you pull them off. If you twist and push the regular tip past the stopping point it will stay on much better.

Thanks for this! I ended up ordering several. They look pretty solid as well, really liking the o-ring as well. Looks like a quality product.

They work real good. It was my first metal driptip and I didn't know if I would like them but I really like them and all I'm using on my echo. I don't know about using one in the winter but for now they are great.

No problem, move to Texas for the winter.:laugh: Glad to have you.

Just ordered a couple of these tips. Although I overcome the falling apart problem, your right, too many slugs of juice from condensation.

It gets a bit nippy up in the panhandle. I will be going to Texas this summer to see my dear mother who just turned 91.
They do seem to solve the condensation issue.

Obviously Madam Cleo informed all of you about my frustration with the rubber drip tip on the echo, as I was planning to post a question about it, but my questions were answered before I started typing. An open suggestion to the dput, fogdaddy, and any other vendor carrying the Echo, stock some 801 drip tips (or even better, add them to your echo kit).

A side note: What lanyards and/or carrying cases do you use with your Echo?
