I've been using this E-power 14650 kit for about a week now and I'm going to get straight to the point and say it has fallen short in some area's and others with working fantastic, here are some of the pro's/con's of this device. I purchased this kit E Power Cig | E-Power 14650 | E-Power Electronic Cigarette
1st let me start off by saying the 1st switch I received with the kit was a dud, and burned up instantly. However because I purchased from litecig, and they are awesome they issued a refund the next morning and let me keep the rest of the kit. They also removed the product from the website. I in turn ordered a replacement switch from them and it's been working since.
The battery life is good on the supplied 14650 batteries however they seem to lose their humph after a short while. They can not handle 1.7ohm dual coils without first "warming up" the device with another cart of 2.0 ohms or greater. Fresh battery off the charger and it will miss fire over and over untill you put a different cart on a take a couple pulls of it before hand then attach your 1.7 dual coil. These battery's are the same one's sold as replacements on a number of sites including litecig, using a higher discharge battery might solve this issue.
Using boge 2.0 carto's this device has no issues but the vapor production and heat on a 2.0 ohm cart isn't enough for my tastes at 3.7v which is more a preference. I've tried used all types of different juice from 100%VG to 50% VG and it all seems lacking. The button locking feature is a major + (5 quick clicks and the device will not fire untill you hit it 5 more times quickly). The connection point is hard to clean if any juice gets into it, there is a ridge around the center post that is very small and hard to get at.
Overall recommendation with this device would be to try to find a bare bones kit, no carts included the large one's supplied are just to big and pointless or buy the tube and switch and purchase your own 14650 batteries and carts. I would not use this as your only device due to the feeling of impending doom if the switch breaks, unless you carry an extra switch around with you, which I would not like to do. Some people may enjoy this device because everything is replaceable, the battery tube seems well made the battery's fit nicely. Make sure not to put the battery in upside down, some people say it burns up the switch. I tested it with the bad switch I got in the initial kit after I realized it was broken I just wanted to see what would happen, and yeah you can instantly smell it burning something in the switch even without hitting the button.
Not a device you want to make your 1st purchase if your new to vaping to "finiky". Go with something more user friendly. Avoid dual coils with the standard batteries supplied unless you feel like warming it up, and dont expect lots of vapor on a 2.0 ohm cart. Not sure how much better the 18650 is but it has gotten good reviews and I would go this route if I was to purchase another e-power.
