When I first saw this I too was impressed with the device and how it worked. As for my breakdown of the device:
Battery: depends on how much you will use it but I am happy with it lasting 4-5 days at a moderate usage.
Tips: Be carefull not to crack it when changing the nicotine cartridges as there is only two with the kit and they are needed for the E-cig to work properly. If you do break them you can always get replacments but that takes time.
Taste: Only tried the tobacco flavor. I am Canadian so the taste is not anyway close to a tobacco cigarette. This will be the biggest obstacle of switching completely to E-cig from tobacco. The harshness is not there from the E-cig either as oppossed to the tobacco cigarette. If you have smoked for many years you don't noticed the harshness as much with the tobacco so the E-cig might seem like your not getting enough nicotine. But just tell yourself you are and that your not getting the formaldehide and other chemicals in the tobacco and that is why the E-cig doesn't taste/feel as strong.
Tip: The initial drag from the E-cig after loading a new nicotine cartridge you will get a drop or two of nicotine. After that it shouldn't happen again.
