My Sourcemore sample never left LA. Did your tracking show a stop in Chicago?

No, I just got a 17track notification it was on its way to elk grove IL. Most likely it either got seized or maybe sourcemore sent another route. Either way its been in the states since August 1.

I'm glad I was able to help, the batteries you started looking at aren't bad, but there are a lot of developments in batteries these days.

These lists are from September 2025.

Happy vaping buddy.

Looks like I'm going with either the Ampace, Molicel, or BAK. Everything else is out of stock everywhere I know to check
I think I'll go with Molicel, since that brand seems to have been a decent performer for awhile now.
Thanks again for your help!

For your use your choice seems correct.
I belive RS50 has highest score, and EVE50PL in second.

Thank you! This sheet has way more info than I understand. But, since I usually Vape between 65-75w, I looked at the column for 90w for the e score. Understanding higher is better, I think I'm looking at these 3:
BAK 45D
Molicel P50B
Reliance RS50

Does that sound like I've got a decent understanding of what I'm doing?

Wonder if my dr solos are in this mess. They would have been sent to the Chicago hub from LA.

“We will never allow foreign actors to threaten the health of America’s children,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Today we took decisive action to protect kids from illegal vape products. Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for their leadership in helping us shut down this black market.”

There they brought up children as an argument once again.
The stupidest health minister the US has had in the last 100 years.

It's exactly the same with us too, protect the children!!!

I had to have a battery in for it to work in escribe, maybe it's because of usb-c.

Another mod into rotation

Tor R said:

Taking the liberty of asking a question in this thread since so many skilled Evolv people are here.

DNA USB-C, do we need to have the battery in the mod to get a connection in Escribe? New DNA 60C chipset

Good evening. Work was ok. My pain level seems to be better this week. I’m going to stick with the PT exercises. I’ve been watching more closely what and how much I’m eating since my cholesterol and A1c came back not good. I got on the scale this morning and since we started adjusting meals and such I’ve lost 11lbs. I’m down to 188 and would like to get down to around 180. I’m not depriving myself of anything. I cut back some on carbs and late night snacks. That and paying closer attention to portion sizes.

I don't think I understand. Do you mean there are newer recommendations than what's linked above? Or I chose the wrong ones when I was searching on IMR?
