I got a Tornado kit plus an extra battery from TW six weeks ago yesterday. I haven't touched any of my mods since so I could get a realistic read on battery life. I had the three batteries in rotation and for the first five weeks, they were spectacular. One charged battery would last me all day so over the five week period, each battery was charged 12 times. On a couple of occasions, I tried like Hell to drain a battery before going to bed and couldn't do it. During this time period, the batteries seemed to pretty much hold their charges, with performance at the end of the day seemingly equal to performance at the beginning of the day on a fresh charge.
This past week, there has been a noticeable drop off in performance. I've hit the battery cut-off point daily and there is a noticeable decrease in power throughout the day, so vapor production is less. Still, to get a few good hours out of these batteries is excellent compared to the vaping time realized with a regular 510 battery.
I've ordered four new batteries and will use the ones I have as back ups. If these died today, my daily cost for batteries is approximately $1.50. Considering the excellent, hassle-free vaping that comes with these batteries, it's a bargain. It has been an adjustment to not have to screw around with charging batteries all day long and keeping track of what battery is where when.
Finally, I've had no issues with sticking battery buttons or anything else. I've taken good care of these things, though they've all been dropped a few times. They have performed flawlessly and exceeded my expectations in every regard. I look forward to the next giant leap forward.

Saturday will be 6 weeks for me, and I still haven't had a problem with my batteries. I feel for those who have, its one less thing you want to deal with while quitting smoking. They both seem to be operating as well as they did the first day. I am very busy during the day so if there has been a change maybe I haven't noticed it?..We will see.
I did have problems with the TW attys I got with the kit. They just stopped producing good vapor really early on. About a week ago I pulled the bridge out of one I haven't used in a month. Brand new, no problems whatsoever. It pulls great every time, no hassles. If any of you haven't seen this mod you have to try it...Obviously it makes the atty drip only but its totally worth it. I can't remember who posted the video on here, sadly, but its very easy to do..

B.S., lies, and gross exaggerations like what Mik posted are the exact reason why I will never, repeat NEVER buy a product from Janty. Ever.
To be honest, I havent had any problems at all with mine. I got mine about three weeks ago, still on the first atty, and i change batteries once a day. I am a heavy vaper, but i must admit, my 601 bears a majority of the use in the car. But each night while at school, or sitting at home, all i use is the tornado. I got mine from TW but have not had any of the issues that I've seen others are having. That sucks, I'm starting to think more and more that I must be one of the lucky ones.
So far, so good. I have no complaints.
With 7 of my 11 Tornado/eGo batteries DEAD, the Riva batteries have become my primary daily vape.
do you find them to last longer since they are 750 mah?
p.s. i love Hugh Laurie he is great
I really can't say with any authority that they are lasting longer than "similar units". There are just too many variables in my "vaping day" to properly quantify what should be a ~15% increase in capacity.

I have never had any problems with my Janty Ego batteries, but certainly believe that others are experiencing these problems nonetheless. I just consider myself lucky.
That is a strong accusation. What is it based on exactly? I remember seeing this in the Janty forum, but Mik's response seemed appropriate to me at the time.
What am I missing?
I'm finding it a little (very little) annoying to have to remove the cone to clean everything up once I flood my atty. Which I do. A lot.
Then don't the the cone. You get better air flow without it. The cone needs some holes in. I modded one with good results. Study how the cone attaches and you'll realize why this is.
I only use the cone to transport it for rigidity.
Keeping my fingers crossed. I ordered the Tornado over the weekend and it shipped today. I can honestly say that I've ordered the Multi pack 510 attys from TW and all of them worked and still work. I bought them several times so I have spares. My wife vapes
as well and we started her sister vaping. That's the reason I've ordered so many. We have given quite a few away. I also bought the Multi battery packs and have had zero doas. I know there is no warranty. I guess TW is going to change the way they sell them and provide a stronger warranty. I guess what I'm saying is that I have been lucky as well. I just hope that luck continues with my new Tornado.

Yeah the more I use it the less I mind, lol. Still running great! I haven't had a single headache or nic fit using this PV. It just works..every time. I love it still and I'm goin on 7 weeks I think.
