Have y'all heard of IMRbatteries.com?

I'm looking at these:

LG HG2 18650 3000mAh 20A Flat Top Battery

Going to be using them in my Provaris and my Mark Bugs WAEII at 15 watts, 1.0 ohm coil.

I'm positive my math makes them more than safe, but what I'm concerned with is authenticity...
Any word if they're a trusted vendor?

Orbtronics and RTD are out of stock, and Provape sells them at double the price.

You're good, HB. That's a reputable source. Another I use is:
Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More!

They're also out of stock, in about the same price range.

I always check Ortronics first, then RTD. The other two are my numbers 3 & 4 (orders are almost interchangeable). Any of the above are safe.

I buy mods from ProVape. Not too much else, if you know what I mean. LOVE 'em, but...

I'm gonna make some custom clear faces for my Delrins, and keep my Boros on ice.

The ONLY gripe I have with the Delrin is I can see if my Bridge seats properly.

Mr. HB you should check out the first page of this thread, he used to make them as you describe. I never did get my hands on one of those, always wanted to try them.

Yeah but...
But...Daaaaaaaad!
My friend has access to a materials shop, and can get the same grade Delrin...in CLEAR...and he can cut/drill it to the exact dimensions and bolt pattern.

You never let me do ANYTHING!!!

You could always try to get the original tank that came with the early boxes. I have one and it's wonderful

I've ordered from them before... They are legit and sell authentic..

On the plus side, if you order 10,000 of them you get 20% off!

 

[skotsour]

Any word on sales tomorrow? I'd love to pick up a 25w and possibly a set of plates...

 

[Bamrz]

No word yet.

 

[Uncle]

Yes - I am not @Bamrz . . .

However - I see 3 different messages this morning on FB that should be of interest to many here . . .

First - The usual update about what will be available . . .

​

Billet Box Vapor
Today's colors will be: black, red, orange, dark blue, and rpg
(8:30am mountain time)

​

Then THE NEWS . . .

Billet Box Vapor
Big, Fat, Honking,,, Pixels!!! R4B.

Booom, the first tweak to the Second Gen BB. The Rev.4 B is hitting the shop today and incorporates a much larger screen with a more robust connection from screen to circuitry. Moving forward from here out, the different machining geometry for the large screen is going to make offering a 25watt model 102% not-gonna-happen-able... though they look similar, they just can't share parts and that is totally gonna mess up our production. What i'm getting at here is... bye bye 25 watt box, we no make you no mo'

Love the big screen, I'm sold! Dna 60 with Escribe to follow soon I recon

Same size board so should be a possibility once evolve start getting them in to peoples hands.

Been a while since I have been here, have Pearl or abalone buttons for the rev. 4 been mentioned?

 

[raqball]

I don't see the point of the larger screen... I mean it's behind a door 23 hours and 57 minutes a day...

Boo on the DNA 25's! As a matter of fact, double boo!

 

[Kh888]

I admit, I like the big screen, but really if you can see the small what is the point? That said, I did just ask if there will be an upgrade path to the larger screen. A lot of folks dropped some good money on the small screen only to have the larger released within a few weeks.

 

[raqball]

I like the large screen when they are external... On the BB? Meh! Don't get me wrong I would not care either way but the larger screen haz caused the DNA 25 to get axed so therefore I say boo!

 

[Uncle]

Well - For some of "Us" when Ya' least expect it . . .

BIG SCREENS REALLY HELP . . .

 

[RickCain]

I am not sure why Evolv even bothered with the small screen on the DNA25. To make it worse it is permanently attached to the board, unlike the DNA40/75/200.

I do understand that BB wants to simplify their tooling and by moving to the large screen will help when having to service them in the future (small screens have been hard to get). Maybe this will make a niche market for the aftermarket guys who can make new plates to switch from small to large screen on the original r4's

Good news, I was able to snag a RPG today!!!!

 

[stanleybb50]

Got the DNA 25 fawkes coming... I was late on the draw for the black and the rpg.... Darnit...

I just hope it's not "too red" for me...

Well I must say the this news just sucks, I was only interested in the 25, and if the board can't be replaced, then I wont ever be getting one. I am not sure about the 40 either, a larger screen size, is okay but I do have bifocals, so I would be able to see it either way. After this past week I can't buy anything else for a month anyway, I think that I should just give up, on the dreams of the new BB's completely. Nice to see that he is now carrying the racing, but with out selling the head also, I will just wait till Atmistique has them in stock again.

Picked up a Rat Black for the wife. I was hoping to get one with a SS button but I guess I'll have to settle for a big screen...

 

[Uncle]

@kas122461 . . .

While I understand that there is no NEED for more power then what Ya' would use - I'm wondering why a 40 will not work just as well for "You" . . .

You are correct, I am probably just being irrational.

Bummer about the DNA 25 . I really wanted to get one of those. My maximum so far has been 15W, with 12W being standard. Ah, well...

As @raqball says, who looks at the screen anyway, once you're set up?

I think I'll go for the Rev 3.a after all, either Dober og RPG.

BTW, any reputable suppliers for the AW 16340's in Europe? I've been looking around, but hard to figure out which to choose.

Not the same sized board AT ALL
