The new Tornado arrived today

[Dmass]

As does all of us, I checked the mailbox twice today although there is little chance that I would receive a package on Monday since I placed my order only last Thursday. I was surprised to see the package in the mailbox. Props for Totally Wicked!

Superb packaging. I place one of the batteries in the charger but I must try the new Tornado out with the other ( hoping it has any charge at all). I start with on of the pre-filled carts. OMG, having been used to the M401, I guess I have never seen the amount of vapor an e-cig can produce. No wonder i have been stealth vaping at my desk and other public places. I'm not sure you can get by with that using a Tornado. HUGE clouds of Vapor! Not so impressed with the taste of the pre-filled, but I ordered some juice as well and tried that. Better taste with the vanilla juice and the same awesome vapor.

I think it is ergonamically perfect. It feels solid in your hands but still very light weight. The light on the switch is surprisingly bright (not that that is a big deal).

I quit smoking on the M401 and would still recommend it, but lately I would need to fiddle with it to get consistent good "hits." So far tonight, I haven't had even one sub par hit with the Tornado. It is very consistent. I hope as time goes by it continues to perform as well as it has in the last 5 hours.

I am really impressed with this PV. I think it is going to be a great intermediate step until I graduate to some of the mods.

Once you go "big mod" it's really hard to go back. I wish I had taken it more slowly.

I got my Tornado kit yesterday as well, having ordered on Friday late afternoon. I agree with OP's description of it being "ergonomically perfect."

The only bad part for me was watching the battery charge for about an hour and a half (actually, I did a few other things but checked on it regularly....like every two minutes). I got three-plus hours out of it last night and about 4 this AM. Again, like OP stated, really consistent vape.

I haven't had any button-sticking issues or cone-threading problems as others have expressed. 24 hours in, this thing is simply perfect.

I loved the heading on the enclosed Tornado folded manual: "Houston, we've solved the problem." Yep.

I've collected a few mods and I have to tell ya -- if I had the eGo first I'd have collected a few less mods. =)

What's the advantage to a mod if the Tornado/eGo battery gives you an 8 hour vape?

HV? Get a low resistance atty and pop it on the eGo. Same wattage, similar TH and vapor.

Mod batteries are cheaper, granted. But a 5 pack of batts brings the cost down to about $16 per.

I can completely hide my eGo in my hand and stealth vape. Can't do that with my mods.

I've had mine for about a week now and the ONLY negative thing I have to say is that the button sticks every great once in a while. This is also the first experience I've had with the 510 atty and I am really liking it.

wrong, all across my few mods and e-cigs, the eGo is my main vape.
