    As Jon says--the addition of the 'needle filler bottle' is a welcome and pleasant touch--but, my unit did not arrive with a full charge--I had to charge for about 2 hours to get it up to maximum. So, things seem a little hit and miss, it seems.

    What does that mean--SD? On their website, I presume?

    And I'm all in for a 'CSN &Y' celebration, anytime.

    I'll give it a little time - no point trying to contact while it's CNY, I guess.

    The battery lasting capacity finally convinced me to get one even I am not going to use ultra sub coils below 0.5 and regarding the switch, I confirm it is not smooth as the iStick 30W, it requires a quite strong push to fire the device. Also, for the first juice tank, it happened that the switch does not fire... But, after some more use, this problem disappeared by itself, even the switch is still felt harder than iStick 30... So, maybe wait a little before sending it back?

    On the other hand, the switch being harder, it will prevent unwanted fire when the mod is in my pant pocket (if forget to switch it off), and after all, I am very happy with this buy: the mod is slightly bigger than his younger brother but the feeling in hand is great!

    Only one question... I have no idea about the battery life, the 2 batteries are not removable, what will happen when they are dead, only dispose the mod to garbage???

    I guess it's a case of finding a recognised dump for Lithium ion batteries - same as dead mobile phones,Ego batteries and so on-they all need safe disposal.
    I am in agreement that the switch is improving-still not 100% but definitely better than day one.

    All in all--from build quality it's obviously an Eleaf, but as to the size, I quite like it--and the battery life has got to be a welcome improvement over my iStick 30 watt, which just about gave a day of usage.
    Only problem now, is deciding which Box Mod to vape on!
    Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Mo--Eleaf, VS, Sigelei or Evic-- spoilt for choice. Decisions, decisions, hard life.

    My verdict is that they are definitely worth the money.
    Assuming mine behaves in the end!

    Sure, as all batteries, but it was not exactly my question... In fact, was wondering if the disposal is the only possibility at the end of battery life, or if any battery change could be possible... Cause I would be very sad to dispose this small piece of engineering to the garbage just because the 2 batteries inside are dead :-(

    I believe that it is a throw away item. Sadly. Not to say a user refit is impossible- never opened these Eleafs up but, with a soldering iron and some small tools, it might be possible- maybe-V- or Rick have stripped one?

    I haven't opened one up, have no intention to, but I might if the battery dies.

    You can usually recharge a Li-ion battery 300-500 times before it gives up the ghost...maybe one of the reviewers will open up one of these so we can see the type of batteries used. It should be possible to replace them when they die but I'd bet something else on the mod will fail before the batteries do.

    I read it has two 18650's and they were both 2100mah, so not the 4400mah as advertized.
    True? Don't know, don't care lol

    Not a big issue I believe, all what I know, it is my first mod lasting for several days before needing to be re-charged
