    New 18650 Question

    Those are a true 3400mAh battery, but the rating is based on a very light load (.2C) and running it down to 100% discharge (2.5v). An eCig is never going to take a battery down to 100% discharge, and will always discharge at a much heavier load. So the usable capacity of that battery is around...

    Longer? 26500 is 26mm x 50mm...15mm shorter than a 18650.

    China GG

    It's the forum's word filter. Usually used to censor obscene or vulgar language....also used as a way to censor a name or business or links to said business's website. We used it often for spammers or vendors that somehow got themselves banned at an automotive forum I used to moderate at...

    Buffalo wild wings NOT VAPOR FRIENDLY

    The manager ASKED you to stop, and you give her a smart ... answer. Wise choice. They may have lost a customer (not like there is a shortage of those anyways) but they won in the sense that you and your friends won't be coming back to upset the other customers. Common courtesy is not very...

    Question for APV's users using Vivi Novas !!!

    I found the stock VIvi heads to be absolute junk, just my opinion and preference. Rebuilding and modding helped, but they still were not doing it for me. They sat in my vape box for months, then on a whim I rebuilt one with with 30g kanthal and cotton yarn. That was the magic setup for me and...

    The Bolt

    Something around 100 grit would do well. It doesn't need to be pretty on the inside so there is no reason to go much finer. Power drill and a flapper wheel is ideal, but you could also wrap a couple layers around a fat sharpie marker, wooden spoon handle, socket wrench and/or extension, etc...

    Battery Low Question

    Sorry JR, 9 watts is less power than 60 watts. Doesn't matter if it is an atomizer, light bulb, or a toaster oven...a watt is a watt. Also, an amp is nothing without volts and resistance. So while it is true that it only takes a fraction of an amp to kill a human, due to the resistance...

    Inquiry on Health Cabin

    Mine came through L.A. But I was in California at the time.

    Inquiry on Health Cabin

    DHL doesn't mess around. I had a large order of cartomizers that took 42 hours from the moment DHL put their hands in them until arriving into my hands. EMS and China Post....unless you enjoy the anxious waiting game and wondering where your package is, it's better to pay the premium for DHL.

    Touch Switch IC

    Hobbytronics didn't list a datasheet. Hmm.. Mamu, can you read the part # on the chip? I see that the one in the OKR video doesn't have the white "TOUCH" sticker on it.

    Touch Switch IC

    That leaves the question of whether or not the IC is capable of transferring enough power. I can see it working fine with a power FET, but I would assume that the IC alone is probably not up for the high current.

    Efest batteries

    They don't quite knock the top brands off the pedestal, but they do perform very well for the most part. This guy just tested a whole slew of EFests. The small battery tests are published, still waiting on the 18650 tests. Battery test-review small individual tests

    Calculating Battery Drain Current

    A common misconception is that you can just use Ohm's law with your output voltage and resistance to calculate the battery drain current. When you are using a variable voltage APV, this is the wrong way to calculate the current. The output is only half of the equation. To accurately...

    What is RMS?

    Root Mean Square (RMS) voltage is easiest described as the equivalent constant voltage of a pulsed voltage output. Not all e-cigs are created equal. Some have a smooth and flat voltage output... (Blue line) Some have a pulsed output... For the smooth flat outputs, nothing special is...

    Touch Switch IC

    What configurations have your tried? Assuming that you've already tried the basics, I think my first attempt would be IC Pin 2 --> DNA Pin 2, and leaving DNA Pin 1 open. If that didnt work then I'd make: DNA Pin 1 --> IC Pin 1 IC Pin 2 --> DNA Pin 2

    Fixing a broken 510 Connector (Guide with pics)

    Old cartos and attys make good donors for these grommets. Same grommets work great in Vivi Nova heads too.

    Touch Switch IC

    For the OKR you can connect the output direct to Pin 1. >1.5v will turn it on.

    Could a 1000 mA mini ever exist?

    Lithium-Ion is a "family" of different battery types. Within the family you have Li-Cobalt, Li-Manganese, Li-Posphate, and many more. These are just the chemistry makeup of the cells. You also have different formats; solvent filled (usually metal cased round cells) and solid polymer (pouch or...

    Could a 1000 mA mini ever exist?

    Every Cig-a-like and eGo type use a LiPo battery. Also every cell phone, tablet, and e-reader uses LiPo. For the most part, the most dangerous thing about a battery is the user. In the "envelope pushing" world of RC, it is no surprise that they get a bad rap. But it's mostly due to the high...
