What's the Cone for??

[wrp]

Hi,
I just started using the Go-Go, and I love it, it's much more convenient with the large cartomizer and long-lasting battery...

It also comes with a "cone" piece that appears to be just a piece of metal that goes around the cartomizer and screws onto the battery.

Question: What is the "Cone" for? Is it just for appearance, or does it serve some vapor-producing purpose?

Thanks!

improved airflow ?! I think ...

And supposed to warm the air by flowing past the warm atty, of course I think this only works if you chain vape.

Mostly cosmetics but it can change the airflow somewhat and create a warmer vape. It likely won't be noticeable and if it is it won't be a big change, most just like the look with it on.

Definitely more cosmetic, IMO I dont really notice any other benefits.

I think it provides just a bit better balance making the ecig easier to hold.

Gives the PV a smoother sleeker appearance.

IMO it looks cool, allows you to mix and match colors (if you're a NY giants fan you can put an orange cone on a blue ego. Ohio state fan you can put a red cone on a silver batt, etc etc). In most atty cart combinations it tightens the draw. In drip tip combinations it makes very little difference. With a sticker wrapped carto it tightens the draw almost to a point of analog cig tightness. Gives it more of a pucker pull than a standard ecig draw. Takes more effort to pull but you get more vapor in a shorter hit.

On a side note if you use a button protector you HAVE to use an ego atty, carto, or cone in order for the button cover to "snap" into place.

Also, if you overfill and your atty leaks a bit, it can contain some of the fluid from getting all over your pocket/bag/kit/whatever.

I find my eGo is less noisy with the cone on. Plus it contains leaks some, looks better, and protects the atty. One more thing-it hides my attys from view, and that is a good thing. Mine tend to look all scratched up from grabbing them with tweezers when cleaning them in alcohol.
