:happy dance:  That's great news, thanks for sharing with us!!

Thanks for this ongoing review and discussion.   I might have to give this a chance one of these summer months ahead.

I haven't yet tried the XL batteries nor the XL cartos.  I'm really satisfied with the little regular ones for those times I need a "cigarette" in hand.  Plus, the carto never burns, because it runs out at about the same time my battery does, so I just change out the whole shabang.  I imagine the XL's are like that too though.

I'm in the same boat with VR.  
They're pretty good... get lots of vapor from them, they hold a ton of liquid, but for some reason you still need to top them off even though they still have tons of juice in em.  They're pretty worth though, imho.  Plus, there's probably lots of tips and tricks to keep them from having to be topped off, .. I just haven't researched to find them, but you might.  

Zen has come out with the rebuildable atty tank system with ss mesh wick (provides pure flavor), for the eGo.  It's called the Z-atty-U .  (U is for universal, because it'll also fit the LT, SB, etc).   They should be in stock on site (open to the general public after all his fanboys and girls get theirs this week-ish) the first of June at the latest which gives you plenty of time to watch the video's and learn how to use them.  They come pre-oxidized, pre-rolled, ready to rock and roll, and he gives enough wire and mesh to last a year or more.  (ymmv).   Very inexpensive to replace your supply of wire and mesh as the years go by, too, and you can find those necccessssities anywhere, even ebay.  

In the meantime, try out those EMDCC's and enjoy!

I can't believe I didn't bring a spare battery.  :facepalm:
