Figured Id throw this out there for those that are looking for an alternative to V4Ls products. I use
Totally Wicked's 1000mAh Ego-C batteries, which are awesome. They have sales all the time like V4L, and as I type this, this battery is currently at 25% off, for a price of $14.99 (it changes every few minutes). I like these over the V4l Egos because they only take 2-3 hours to charge (vs V4Ls Ego which can take up to 9 hours to charge), and the power button changes color as the charge diminishes so you know when its about to run out (V4L's Ego doesnt have this feature). ALso the 5 click on/off feature is nice so you dont accidentally fire it up in your pocket (V4L's Ego also has this). Also the Tornado is 1000mAh, while V4L's Ego is 900mAh. Not much difference but every little bit helps.Heres the charger combo I use, I like it because you can charge via USB, wall, or plug it into a car charger. Much more versatile than V4L's slim charger they sell with their Ego, (which is only a wall charger). Yes, you have to buy these parts separately, but cost wise it aint bad considering the versatility and the fact that you can buy these parts as stand alones. For a total of around $20, you have a charger you can use on your PC, wall, or car. Not too shabby.
USB chargerUSB to wall chargerCar charger adapterTo use the Tornado battery with the V4L tanks, you need a 510 to 808 adapter from V4L for $3.95 (for some reason TW doesnt carry it). Heres a link to it:

Once I get a TW tank, Ill post up a review. They cost a bit more than V4L's tanks, but their replacement tank carts are a bit cheaper than V4L's.
TW 3.5 Dual Coil TankOh yeah, almost forgot. Totally Wicked customer service rivals V4L's form my limited experience. My first order, I accidentally ordered the 650mAh batteries instead of the 1000, and when I got them I emailed them and they sent the right ones out that same day, and I sent the smaller ones back. Then, almost a month later, I dropped one of my batteries from atop a fence and it hit the concrete and broke. I emailed them and told them it suddenly stopped working, and they had a replacement in the mail that day and told me not to worry about sending the broken one back, with no questions asked.Next time I need a battery, Im gonna order the Variable Voltage Ego Twist. Looks pretty sweet.I hope I didnt confuse the hell out of noobs that are deciding which direction to go.
