Recieved the unit from esutta today. Cost of e-liquid + Starter kit + Shipping is rs.3050/-. Paid by cash on delivery. I ordered an ego T2 kit(link above) however called and asked to deliver a kanger kit instead.
The kit contains
1 white ego-t upgrade/ego-t2 650mah battery,
1 2.4ml clearomizer.. dont know which company ones they(esutta.com) use. But judging by looks, its a kanger t2 or an imitation
1 Jomo usb charger
The packing sucked. It was just all the stuff wrapped in bubble wrap 3-4 rounds of.. no cardboard box, no protection..
They shipped it via a courier service called GoJaVAS. Not the best tracking but does the job.
Opened the package to find that the white ego batt is dirty.. Its seen its fair share of dirt before being shipped.. wasnt too happy with that.. the battery was almost fully charged when i got it. Screwed in the clearomizer, poured in the liquid and its ready to go. The liquid i ordered was Henseng USA mix high nicotine. must be 1.8% though the percentage isnt given anywhere on the bottle. The bottle itself has a high quality cap which needs to be pressed and turned to unscrew. USA Mix is just tobacco flavour.. after taste isnt strong though it smell and tastes like wet tobacco (like RAJA khaini, not dried cig tobacco). If you want tobacco taste, buy this. However, if you, like me prefer hookah flavours, get something else like apple flavour
The throat hit is strong.. around the same as an original red davidoff cig. I wasnt expecting this. almost coughed. next time, will order medium nicotine e-juice.
About the batt- the difference between Ego upgrade(also called t2) vs Ego-t is that this unit has two modes-
1 is regulated at 3.6v
2- unregulated and varies with batt charge from 4.2v to 3.6v.
The light in the batt changes colour depending on the mode selected
White colour- regulated.. colour supposedly changes to dark blue as battery get low though. battery isnt low yet so cant give you a gaurantee
Orange colour - unregulated. No batt indicator in this mode.(the light looks orange in photo but is closer to yellow)
Edit: Ego t upgrade doesnt come with low batt warning. Ego c upgrade does.
Been using it for more than 5 hours now and the batt still isnt showing low batt light. Actually, 2 people smoked it for 3 hours. Was thinking that i minght need a 1000mah batt.. but looks like i dont. Theres no light at the end of battery like in some ecigareetes(to mimic a real cig) which imo is a good thing. It feels solid and build quality is good.
The e-cig is surprisingly satisfying. I smoke 10 cigs a day. Today, smoked just 3.
The hit is so strong that youll take a break after 5-7 puffs.
As of now i am completely satisfied with the e-cig(the packaging and dirt on batt excluded). Wouldnt be hard to quit cigs with this in hand.
As for the e-liquid consumption rate, after 6 hours the e-liquid level in clearomizer has dropped from 1.8ml to 0.4ml. This is after 2 people using it for 3+ hours. so a bottle of e-liquid should last 6-10 days.
The 2 reasons on me buying this- supposedly safer, and the increasing prices on Kings/Clasic milds cigarerettes. I started smoking when they cost rs.4 and they are now 9 rupees.. they gone from 6 to 9 rupees in a year. it was getting costly.
The Charger looks like chinese stuff.. not the best but not too delicate either.. It shows green when no batt it attached. turns red when attached with a green blink every 7 seconds. One batt is full, changes to green colour. the batt just blinks 3 times when connected and doesnt show any sign when its fully charged.
Heres a few pics
Hangsen though more tasty somehow did not interested me for long.
