can't confirm or deny but tis what I read on at least 2 forums and one review site, would have to query MNKE to get verification, but did notice that the MNKE was at 3.4 volts when I first through it on the charger, My Sony's read 4.2 volts. Haven't had a problem after fully charging the MNKE.

Far as bigness goes, it's no taller than the Nemesis in 18650 mod just larger girth.

It may have been mentioned here before and I missed it but can you list the sony battery you bought?

I pre-ordered the Big Nasty today, this will be my first mech. Now the hard part: finding the perfect topper. I like the idea of the Big Russian on there but was thinking of going all-American with a Patriot or Omega rda

Any suggestions? Nasty porn encouraged.

Here ya go, I paired mine with the Keg Cap for now, which Im not a huge fan of the way it sits on the base but I think the combo looks nice together.

Awesome photo! And here I was, almost having convinced myself that I don't "need" a Big Nasty.

If they still have any slots open on the 26th, I'm in there like swimwear.

btw, any developments in what batteries to use? I know they push the MNKEs on the site but since those are all (?) old
stock, I'd rather try something else. rtdvapor doesn't have any 26650 AW-IMRs, at least that I can find.
I don't see the harm in the blue EFests though.....unless there's something about them that I don't know.
Which is likely. :p

Completely forgot about the Sonys. Where do you get yours from?

I bought the Sony's from this seller . Seemed to have a great rating and some great prices. Has 2 & 3 pack options. Very fast shipping. They read fully charged when they arrived, and even came in a foam lined box that can be used as a case till one can find real ones in stock.

Can you tell a difference in performance?

The main difference I notice with the Sonys, is less voltage drop under load. Don't know if it has anything to do with the higher amp rating or because they are newer, most likely a little of both. Get long vape time on both though

I don't mind using ebay as long as I've got some good impressions about specific sellers. So thanks!!

I ordered some Sony batts also. It seems as though the MNKE 26650 batts don't hit as hard as my 18650 Sony's, so I hope they're better.

Looks like mine just shipped yesterday. I really like the way that Keg looks on the 'Nasty but I already have a Patriot built and waiting for it to arrive...

Got the email that mine shipped this morning, the Patriot is built and ready to rip when it arrives...Me thinks I'll order a pair of this Sony for backups too.

Oh Nasty, my sweet Big Nasty, why do you elude me so? Perhaps you were too tempting for that postage handler at the sort facility to pass up. Perhaps you are my white whale and you and I simply aren't meant to be. Rest assured, I will track you to the end of the earth (or at least ....**** Illinois where you were last seen) and not give up until you are in my warm embrace.

Sincerely,
honeycombdome
