FWIW, this thread convinced me to get a few Echo-e cartos to try. Ordered from Cropduster site and got the "Receipt for Payment" email from PP, and about an hour later received a "Your package is on its way" from PP. While that's not an email from Cropduster per se, it does show a response, via PP.

I agree his site itself doesn't necessarily inspire confidence but the relatively quick (if indirect) confirmation of action is reassuring. Moreover, I'm really looking forward to checking these large-cap cartos out!

Yeah, the thing I loved about my Go Go was fill it up in the morning, I'm good all day. Take a bottle of juice... just in case. I had the tricky battery thing happen, where it would not connect. I read on here that it fixes itself by letting it fully drain and then a full charge... I was never able to get the battery to FULLY DRAIN... they last longer than my patience!!!

I was lucky enough to order a few of these cartos for my eGo this morning from cropduster901.com before they sell out. Within an hour, I too got an email saying my order was shipped! Nice service! I have always used the XL cartos for my eGo and I am really looking forward to trying these big dawgs out. Can't wait!

Yeah you have to get them while you can being as he is the only one selling them right now, he is having a hard time keeping them in stock. Mtn vapor had some too but he doesn't have is website up yet.

It's funny to me... I can't figure out how to make an avatar but I can have a website landing page with paypal or google check out up in 20 minutes.

This is also the first time I have tried quoteing another post... let's see if it worked!

I have some Echo -E's coming to Australia and am excited to try these out as I use CE2's on my Buzz and love them, I also like the Ego-T.

I think I am going to like these as I have read every thread on these type of Carto's and they seem pretty good from the reviews.

I thank you all for your comments

Thank you very much Dput for your willingness to send them this far.

Let me know what you think. I just started using the CE-2's and really like them compared to l/r 510 attys.

ETA, I rip the plastic out of the CE-2's and use a drip tip.

I just recently got my Echo-e cartomizer's for my eGo, and here are my first impressions. First off, I was careless when I first opened one to fill for the first time and began shooting juice into the hole instead of the filler. Opps! Once I noticed juice pouring out of the bottom, I slapped myself on the forehead, blew it out, then filled where I was suppose to. Once filled, I only let it sit for about 5 minutes before I couldn't take the anticipation any longer lol! First couple of hits I began to think I may have screwed it up because I wasn't really getting much vapor or TH at all, so I let it sit for about a half an hour longer. Once I replaced my battery again and took another hit, WOW! This bad boy bit me! It looked like my head was on fire! Haha! Awesome vapor production, great taste, and very nice throat hit. I also have noticed it vapes really really smooth compared to the XL cartomizer's I had been using on my eGo. The downside...I am now getting nicotine induced headaches after only like 4 hits. This sucks. Since I am still new to vaping, the only juices I own are all 24mg, but with this new carto it is too much for me. I may have to switch back to my XL's until I can get new juice. :(

All in all I am very impressed with the Echo-e's and highly recommend them. Just make sure you have some lower dose juices to avoid OD'ing. ;)

Hmmmm.... Just came in the mail, so far, nothing. I was waiting for the first battery to charge, but I had ordered a echo-e cart, so I popped that on my ego... nothing. Literally nothing. No vapor at all, no sound even. So I then broke down and put the regular echo cart on the echo bat, expecting something, and... nothing, same thing.

I can try the last cartomizer but how much juice to I need to waste in these things if they are all defective.

It has to be operator error, how likely is it that two carts in a row are defective!?

Received mine yesterday, about two days from ordering. One has incompletely milled air flow channels at the battery connector making it nearly impossible to draw on. Cropduster has already said he will mail a replacement out today. So, +1 on customer service.

The other three work, but... I can't say I'm impressed by them yet. I can get about 2ml of juice in them, maybe a tad more. Draw is rather light for my taste, vapor production "meh" - no more and often less than I get from a Type A atty, tank and good technique. I want to attribute this to the lighter draw but not sure yet. I tried turning the inner batt connector/air hole by turning in a 1/2 turn at a time up to four full turns -- small improvement in draw and vapor but not much. Maybe it can be turned in more but I want to be careful. Could also be that the air channels on these are too deep, as compared to too shallow. One of them has a very slight, muted burned taste to it. Not enough to make me stop vaping what's in there, but not sure I'll refill it.

In addition to the known bad air channel on one, all of them feel "rough" when threaded on (at least as compared to my Type A attys).

So... any tips from longer-time users, something to give me a reason to love them? I haven't completely given up on them, maybe there's some trick to using them that I don't know yet... but my first impression is they rank about the middle of the range of all the cartos I've tried so far.
