It is only slightly thicker than an eGo. I think Karma got one, so she could tell you more. Whichever one you go for I'd be wary of cheapy 14500 batteries, they can be absolute rubbish as I know to my cost . Torchy does some decent ones at a good price Not me Dave, but I do have a Robust which is VV and uses 14500 batteries. I like it, it looks good but only use it occasionally as you're never going to get good run time from 14500 It was your Robust I was referring to karma Gets confusing on here sometimes I think you have made a good choice collie2011 The Robust has been around for quite a while - it had some initial teething problems as well, don't they all I don't know anything about the Swig, but I have found from experience it is usually better to wait a while before buying new Chinese mods - they tend to beta test them by selling them and seeing what happens! Like karma says, you are not going to get great life with a 14500 battery, but since it sounds as if your OH is a fairly light vaper it might suit him fine.

Yeah i've gone for the Vamo. For the price I can't find anything else that comes close. I wanted an Evic but i'll get a Vamo first and if I like it and get on with the VV stuff I will get an Evic next.

I spoke to him last night about it and he said yeah the robust sounds great so i'll be ordering him one :-D

They've got in black & silver evods the silver looks more like a matt grey though, definitely not a brushed stainless.

Look like our requests are working, but I think I will wait till you guys try them out before ordering, I'm a skinflint. Best wishes guinea pigs

My biggest concern Simate is with it being a bottom coil if it's badly made it will leak juice.
Will find out in couple of weeks ???
