Just received the e-mail with this link at 11:57pm and had it ordered by 12:07am.
Ok, I haven't made 15 post, so it won't let me add the link. Just check out TW website. It's up there somewhere.

Right.. and I believe that TW expects to receive them on about the 21st. But I don't know if that means in the UK or the US.
As has already been said, it's the same unit as the Janty eGo.
The interesting thing about the Ego on the Janty site and the tornado on the TW site is that on the TW site they offer more options, in colors and acc. The TW site has it cheaper but I still bought from Janty.
Sort of..TW put the colors and accessories up first...but janty added them back on the 21st when TW was releasing..they were just waiting for shipments on the stuff...and I didn't see the cones as an accessory on TW's site anyway..Janty dropped kit prices to match TW so you really have to compare what's in the kits:
TW has 1 more atty, 10 prefilled carts, and a standard 510 mains charger and an adapter for the battery
Janty only has the 1 atty, and 5 prefilled carts..but has the faster charger that doesnt require an adapter and they have a 3month/6month warranty on batteries/attomizer..
Me having that faster charger that will charge a battery in 2 hours vs the 6 an eGo/tornado battery would take on a standard 510 charger and that warranty were worth way more than an atomizer and 5 extra prefilled carts..
And worth way more than having to take a chance on the sometimes questionable CS from TW US..
An atty is worth around $10 5 blank carts are worth around $2.50 and TW has a 7.5% discount code and colors that Janty still does not sell. I mean really it's no big deal because Janty makes money off the deal no matter where you buy it but to me those advantages mean that the TW deal literally stomps the Janty deal into the ground.
If people have had problems with TW in the past I don't blame you for staying clear but I have not had any with them and I was able to get the tornado/ego at a better price and that is what was my biggest concern at the time I placed my order.
I like the Janty warranty better but I'm the kind of lazy person that tends not to take advantage of things like that and as far as the charger goes the tornado/ego lasts me all day so I am better off with the el cheapo charger adaptor.
If it bites me at some point in the future then y'know sometimes you roll the dice and you take your chances.
In this case I felt that a difference of around $20 was worth the risk.

Is this battery bigger and stronger than the regular 510 or does it just last longer? Do the batteries go bad like the 510 battery. These batteries are a lot more expensive than the 510, 22.99. The warranty is only 28 days. Most mod are guarantee 12 - 36 months and the batteries that go in them are cheap. Most mod have 5-6 volts. What is the volt of the tornado? I know it has 650 mAh but what is this compared to volts. It comes with 2 batteries and are suppose to last 2-3 months. Since it comes with an extra battery it makes me think the batteries will be similar to the regular 510 batteries.
What are the advantages to the tornado over the 510 other than longer ls lasting batteries.

It has "longer lasting" batteries that run at the same voltage as the standard Joye 510 units. It also has the atomizer cone "cover" which changes/enhances the vapor for most people.
So what you are saying is it does not do much more than the 510 other than a little more vapor. It just bothers me that the batteries only have a 28 days warranty. I would be afraid that they would go bad and they cost 22.99 each.
I'm gonna make a decision soon. I'm looking at both sites right now.
This is going to be a tough decision for me.
The atomizers that come with the tornado are sort of like super atomizers they are built to last a long time and they do.
huh ? how long is the tornado out ?
*kidding*
the tornado uses joye510 atomizers, not more or less.

I see If I try to get the battery alone I need an adapter to charge it? Also neither janty or TW has the screw on cover if you buy the battery alone, or does it come with it but it's just not pictured?
However, "unavailable product"
I want to order just the batteries and the charger adapter but no cones available. I keep checking but not yet!!
Maybe someone has a cone for sale??
