I picked up a DAV on the cheap with a discount and a store credit awhile back.

Nice setup with a smileomizer.

Only drawback is it takes a year and a day to charge it.

The Zeus is nice, but kind of pricey for something you're going to have to toss in the trash eventually.

Well the batteries are guaranteed for a year. I think 52 bucks a year is reasonable for a battery of this caliper.

~just sayin~

I liked it fine too. However I cant see these big machined attys and tanks hanging on long with those dinky threads which is why I believe 510 became the standard.


Could be. Which then begs the question... As tanks and attys have clearly gotten larger than anyone ever intended them to be, shouldn't we possibly consider making everything with an Ego connection? Some of us out there are using large weighty 4.5ml+ tanks/attys on dinky little 510 connections with no other support. Don't have to reinvent the wheel, but an upgrade would be nice.

Same reason we still have "power adapters" in our cars in the same size and shape that our cigarette lighters used to be. 510 seems to work really well with mods as most tanks sit low and flush.
I have a protank on an ego and I like puffing it at the house but hate the way it looks even with the beauty ring. Its just top heavy. I have a mini on the way, should have gotten it to begin with.

Because it's disrespect to the 808 kick drum.

808D are little wimpy threads compared to 510. There is much more threaded area on a 510.
I've never owned 808 eGos. Just 808 cigarette likes. Joyetech used/uses five ten threading. Their products are very successful, and well liked. There it is...the meaning of life :) IMO 808 threading is way easier to keep clean.

Short answer vapor production, the 510 was a huge innovation a few years ago, remember this was before the ego, before cartomizers even you pretty much had the choice of attys with carts or dripping on your attys hell drip tips might not have even been on the scene and long before VV mods the only mods available were big bulky box mods or something you built yourself. Simply put in terms of flavor and vapor production it out performed damn near anything out there, at the time the only thing that came close was the 801 (pen style) which was much larger and odd looking unless you had a janty stick (if anyone remembers those and those were odd looking but much more compact).

tl;dr: When the 510 hit the market it outperformed the competition in a much more compact ascetically pleasing form factor. It was regarded as the best out there and widely adopted as the new universal threading so to speak from that point on.
