Joye eGo Review

I started my vaping experience with a KR808 model, but after some time decided to try other models and brands. Pure Smoker ran a special closeout deal with full Joye eGo kits for $50.00, a price that just can't be beat. Apparently Joye demands that suppliers sell the kits inside a certain price range in the US, so I would not expect to see this deal again anytime soon.

My kit came in a nice presentation box that slides out from one side. My kit included two batteries, two cones a wall charger and a usb 'quick' charger. Also included was two atomizers, one low resistance one standard.

The eGo itself is much heavier then a standard 808 battery. The battery has a smooth almost rubberized finish that feels good in your hand, almost what I would call a no slip grip. The threading on the battery is a standard 510 connection. So those who have cartomizers or atomizers from 510's can use them on this product. Note though that standard 510 batteries CAN NOT be charged on the eGo charger.

For anyone who has never used anything but cartomizers using the included atomizers may lead to disappointment. I myself never could get the hang of using them, they vape great but they seem to burn through e-liquid to quickly. I tried numerous tips from ECF but nope, just could not make atomizers work for me.

But that's ok as I never intended to use atomizers with it! The eGo works fantastic with any standard 3.7 volt cartomizer. 510 carto's will work right out of the box, other sizes such as 808's will work with a thread adapter available at many suppliers websites.

So how does it perform? Well it performs like a KR808 or any other 3.7 volt device. Now you may be asking, whats that point then? And it's a simple answer of battery life! I vape heavily and tend to burn through four sometimes five 808 batteries each day. With the eGo I only need two and for many people one battery will last them day.

Charging the eGo is also painless with the included rapid charger. From my experience you can charge a completely drained eGo battery in about one hour on the rapid charger, that's very quick when compared to the slower charging and shorter chargers of the KR808 battery.

The battery life on the eGo makes it a fantastic choice when going out and not wanting the hassle of having to change batteries during the night. If fact for many people you will not even need to carry a spare with you.

With the availability of adapters for most popular e-cigs, the ability to use both cartomizers and atomizers and for it's incredible battery life and quick charge ability I would rank the Joye eGo as a must have.

One last note, if you are interested in purchasing a eGo, be aware that many sites are selling cheaper knock off brands of eGo's. Be sure to verify that what they sell is a genuine Joye product and not a cheap replica.
