I'm very happy with mine - it's my main vape.

While you're waiting for it to arrive go to dealextreme.com and buy some extra batteries and maybe an extra charger. Trog has the details on his forum of what he recommends for you to buy.

Wish I had been told that when I ordered my SD. My SD arrived with batts that were barely alive and wouldn't hold a charge. So I had to wait til I got the batts I ordered to find out how awesome the SD is. I had no idea that these batts weren't available in the US and I couldn't hop over to the local whatever store to get new batts. Live and learn for sure!

Now that I'm trog-savvy, think I might just get another SD. This thing is built solid!! Reminds me of those Ford "Built To Last" commercials.

The only problem is I don't take the SD with me when I'm out and about. My kids told me it looks like I'm smoking something illegal - hahaha - like I'm smoking liquid weed or something. Too funny!

Yes, the SD is all I use. I actually have two of them. It is very well balanced, and provides a satisfying vaping experience. No doubt in my mind that you will love this device. I started vaping on a Pilot M401. I wanted a better vaping experience. I was sick of fluid in my mouth, constantly flooding my atomizer. I always had to suck long and too hard for good vapor production, which in return caused the vapor to be "hot", and created sores in my mouth. The S.D. provides an easy and smooth draw, just the right amount of power to efficiently provide a "cooler" temperature, and a thick and tasty vapor.
The worst part for me is using in public, you'll get a lot of weird looks. Just gotta keep a positive thought and remember, at this moment in time, the SD is the future in "e smoking".

I just ordered one of these for carrying my gear "on the go". I read on the Screw Driver forum that they fit the SD perfectly, and have two small elastic side pockets for storing an extra battery/ bottle of liquid and atomizer.

uh..they're out of stock. I don't know much about batteries, but is there a reason to use unprotected batteries vs protected batteries in the SD?

Should I not buy the batteries that are for sell in the ebay link in my previous post?

Thanks for the help

The "protection" is provided by the charger. It will not overcharge the battery. As far as discharging the battery too far, the performance of the SD will severely fall off before that would happen.

The protected batters are slightly (just a tiny bit) longer than unprotected. While they will fit in the SD and they will work, you will not be abler to completely tighten the SD closed.

SD is my main and favorite vaping device, this after several other kits, all diff styles/sizes. The battery life is steep, the vape is deep, and the maintenance and upkeep is cheap.

Like your post HDbanger

Battery question: does it require 3.6 volts, or would 3 volts work in desperation?
I am going to stock up on spare batts, but wondering in a more hypothetical sense.

Sorry, I'm a chemist not an electrician
