Congratulations. Two months down for me, the rest of my life to go. "Lingang". Looks interesting on the satellite map. Do you have snow on your mountain tops sometimes or all of the time that you can see from your home?

I have Trend Micro Pro and I have it set to "medium high". I never even enter a site when it gives me any kind of warning. I also have a separate Malware/Spyware program just in case my TMP doesn't catch something. I've been to all of those URLs more than once without any problems. I would *never* post a URL if I even suspected that it might contain anything harmful. I don't know what happened in your case, but I'm sorry that you had a problem and I'm real glad it got fixed.

While I love the idea of being able to use a bigger carto - or atty in my case - trimming the end off sounds kind of scary if one's interested in a nice, clean fit. How did your trimming end up looking - hack sawed or custom fit?

I can certainly understand that Uma. Just wanted folks who are moving up from the 180 and 250 mah "starters" to know their are choices avaliable. Am I'm thinking of picking up a Black Beauty for fun, so if you can tell me whose yard you left your's standing it, if I find it, I promise to return it as soon as I give it a spin.

Yes, the bigger button with the nice groove looks chrome, but lights up. There is just a very small little orange light in the center of the end - about the size of the head of a pin so it is not a big ORANGE beacon.

Yes, all orders from China will spend two to four days in customs. They prefer to use more expensive faster shipping, but if you're not in a hurry, I've used their cheaper, slower shipping method. Here are just some places you can order from: http://www.topproductssale.com/proInfo.aspx?id=46 (I ordered from here because you can often ask for and get some freebies - like a free extra cone to be using two at once) http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/vapes_supplies/items/X_POWER_900c_E_cig_Starter_Kit http://e-cigarette-supplier.com/Xpower+Series-china/Xpower+Series-E-cigarette+Xpower+900-99/ USA: http://www.litecigusa.net/LitecigUSA_X_Power_900c_Personal_Vaporizer_p/xpower900ckit.htm

I just happened to have bought an eGO 650 (the 900 wasn't available at that time) at the same time that I bought an XPower 900 and 900c (One is an atty and cart system and the other is a cartomizer set). The XPower 900 set came with two cones, two attys, two bats, usb and wall chargers, and 10 carts while the 900c came with same except it had 10 cartomizers. They cost me $47 each fast including shipping (China). I tried all three out for 5 days and my eGO has been in my desk drawer ever since. The XPower is slightly wider (2ml), and slightly longer that the eGO. It uses a 301 connection with a modified atty, carto, and carts that make them larger and improved from the older smaller ones. Both have more capacity than the standard eGO - with the cartridges being twice as big. Yes, eGO did a knock off to make their new "Mega" parts for the 510 (which are the same size as the standard XPower's)and their new ego Mega parts - which are additional costs - hold more juice. Comparing the two, the first thing I noticed was how much more vapor I got out of the XPower. I also thought I got a slightly better taste/flavor - but only slightly. Then, being an atty and cart guy, I soon noticed how much longer the cart lasted. I also notice that the wickening material in the XPower seems of better quality - it's not as "cotton ball" as the eGO and will vape wonderfully untill it's virtually dry. I also really liked the slightly larger size of the XPower as it felt much more comfortable in my hand. I have a friend who is a JOYE eGO fanatic. He bought the 650 Joye ego, then bought the 900 batteries. So for fun, we spent an evening running all kinds of tests, including "blind" tests where one of us was blindfolded and the other held and pushed the button while trying out a variety of juices. At the end of the evening, he went home and ordered an XPower. He definitely preferred the feel, the larger button, the overall appearence and especially the difference in amount of vapor. The eGO is a *very* good e-cig. But if you're considering getting an eGO (Joye or whatever), you might want to also at least consider the XPower. (I'm going to put on my hard hat and get under my desk as I know that I will be attacked by the "Joye" boys/gals.

Thanks Jolly. Brian: I guess since I wanted to discuss a specific e-cig, it should go down into the specific e-cig forum. I reckon I'll just have to wait and hope someone shows up some day soon.

I've tried quite a few - so pretty good, some not. But *the* best I've tried so far is the "eastcoast" from Vaporrenu. It's the only one I've tried that especially on the exhale, leaves a taste thats like a fresh leaf of tobacco smells like. They offer "double shots" of flavor for an extra 50 cents, so loving flavor, I get a double shot. And their 30ml are only 6.99 to 7.99 (depending on what you add).

True about different manufactures, but the eGO, Tornado, and Riva parts are all interchangeable - though the Riva battery has more mah and a few people believe that the Joye eGO atty is better than any other brand (I don't think so, but the "JOYE eGO" folks are more than fanatical about it). The Hello 016 has a different connector (it's a 510, but shaped differently) than the other three, so it can use the ego parts, but without the cone. And you can *only* use the new "Mega" attys, cartomizers, and cartridges on the ego, tornado and Riva - but not on the Hello, as they won't screw into the Hello. Imho.

Noobie here. I was wondering if we could talk about specific e-cigs in the "general" forum as there's lots of folks there but no one has been to the specific e-cig forum in four days. Thanks.
