    Did you get the Gotvapes newsletter tonite?

    This is so... odd. So basically it gives you the same 'range ' that a freshly charged battery gives you? This is kind of neat. If I didn't prefer my vape at around 4.6-4.8v i'd definitely think about picking one up

    Beware! Trustfire Flame Jacket (14500)

    What is your problem? I bought the batteries because I'm trying to power a mod... you think I like getting batteries I can't use for a given application? Then again, you're saying we shouldn't be stacking batteries; all 5v and VV mods in existence that do not use a boost regulator. It's a...

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

    I wanted to post an update... so I bought some trustfire 14500s from altsmoke, because the pic on their site was of blue ones... so I figured might as well give it a go. They arrived; Flamejackets. First thing I did was rip off the jackets :P Sure enough, I'm the proud owner of 4 more...

    Beware! Trustfire Flame Jacket (14500)

    AltSmoke has removed all of these from stock, and offered a full refund. Great job! This is what a vendor SHOULD do! AltSmoke has earned my repeat business and respect. Thank you AltSmoke! Okay... so I watched this video a month ago.. ‪Beware of Fake Mod Batteries!!!!‬‏ - YouTube Didn't...

    What was YOUR first purchase???

    xhale o2.... thing was terrible but it did show me that this whole 'e-cig' thing could work if I had a better version...so I did the first thing I do when I become interested in something... searched for a forum... now vaping on my VV evercool boxmod :)

    Specific E Power questions?

    Oh yes, I understand load makes a difference. But voltage sag under load is a lot different than regulation. This is one of the reasons I use IMR batteries in my e-power. They are able to discharge more current, so they sag MUCH less under load, around .2v in my experience. I just disagree...

    Specific E Power questions?

    Nope I don't have a way to test it loaded. I guess I could rig up a connector from an old carto, might have what I need But even with the voltage drop loaded, why would there be such a big difference between a freshly charged battery and one that's about to die? Like, in my VV box which uses...

    Box mod that holds 14650 batts

    If you wanted to be really hardcore you could pick up a $10 manual 5v passthrough and power it with this bad boy 3A Output Mobile Power Box USB 18650 Battery Charger | eBay 5v 3A USB power supply.. that uses 4x 18650s in parallel lol

    Specific E Power questions?

    The stock batteries (the 1050 mah ones) aren't the best, but the last me well over 24 hours using a boge 2.0 cartomizer.. if I can stand the voltage drop off. It seems to take awhile for them to get down to 3.9, i'd say a good 6 hours of heavy use. But you see, I'm really picky when it comes...

    Specific E Power questions?

    Okay..this might start a debate but I own an e-power and a replacement switch. From testing I've done, MY e-power and my replacement switch both output battery voltage... ie 4.2v full charge, and slowly drops.... doesn't seem like there's any regulation going on. Batteries perform better fresh...

    AW IMR 14500 (in stock?)

    Sooooooo..... anyone know a place with these actually IN STOCK? I've been looking for an hour now and I've found plenty of places that carry them, but every single one of them is out of stock.

    e-POWER Replaceable Battery Kit eGo now available for 14500 batteries

    I don't have an in-line meter, no. I can rig something up to test the loaded voltage, but I'm almost positive it would show to be unregulated, at least on my device. I notice a very large difference between a freshly charged battery and one that's sitting at 3.7v. The difference is so...

    e-POWER Replaceable Battery Kit eGo now available for 14500 batteries

    I have a spare switch that I just tested (because of what everyone was saying here) and i'm getting the same thing.. When I fire the button (on both switches now) I get the exact same voltage on my multimeter (Using the red lead to the center pin, black to the threads) that I get if I test the...

    14650 E-Power + LR/Dual Coil

    So, I love my e-power.. but the stock 14650 battery has trouble providing enough current for dual coils or even really low resistance cartos/attys (1.8) The performance loss was so bad, I resorted to using a home-made spacer and AW IMR 14500 batteries... this worked but capacity was severely...

    Qs about Sapphire

    I'm really liking my sapphire The only problem I had with it was that the center pin on both of my sapphires was not making contact on two of my boxmods and my e-power out of the box. I had to manually pull the center pin down just a hair, it was very easy.

    e-POWER Replaceable Battery Kit eGo now available for 14500 batteries

    The claim that the e-power has a regulated output is dubious. I own an e-power. According to two different meters and a 510 threaded voltage tester, the e-power outputs the exact same voltage that the battery is charged to. There isn't any regulation going on here. Test it yourself! On a...

    mod batteries

    The counterfeit batteries are a problem with US suppliers as well. Buying from dealextreme is like a raffle. The good part about buying from a solid US supplier is that they WILL stand behind their product. Just want to say, though, that i've purchased 6 14500s from Dealextreme now, and...

    Evercool variable adapter

    Very interesting idea Have you thought about building the same thing but with a boost chip/circuit? The only thing about the evercool is that it requires more voltage in than out, so this would see limited usefulness... Those boost chips people use in the single battery variable voltage mods...

    Almost a mod in a box

    Didn't know USB connectors were only rated for 1.5A. But yeah it's the same unit I'm speaking of, 5V Mobile Power Supply USB Battery Charger 18650 Box 2A | eBay Ahh, I see what you mean. I had no idea what USB hardware was rated for current wise... then again, probably silly to assume it...
