    Beware of Dinosaurs (T-Rex)

    Did you verify this on an oscilloscope, or did you just read a low loaded voltage? In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter if the low output is due to a PWM circuit or a battery that cannot handle the current, but I'm curious :) I'm also curious to know what the unloaded...

    The " BUZZ " VariVolt Pv's coming SOON !

    That's an 18650. 18350s are rated from 900-1200mAh. When stacked in series, the capacity stays the same no matter how many batteries you have. You add voltage, not current or capacity.

    New Mod,,,,,,,TEKKEON MOD 5v...Wicked !!

    Chev clarified the charging operation in a PM to me. Apparently it charges just as fast on or off, but being on effects the LED color thresholds (this makes sense electronically) so that you don't get an accurate gauge for when it's full. Also, using as a PT (charging and vaping at the same...

    The " BUZZ " VariVolt Pv's coming SOON !

    I run two 18350s (generic from EM) in my indulgence with a 5V RIT and it will last all day and then some. The way the materials are folded into the battery casing, li-ion batteries are more efficient per unit of volume with thicker cells. Combine that with the 30% larger volume of an 18350 vs...

    Where Can I Get A......? E9 parts, reasonably priced, in the US

    Only site I found selling E9 cartos for a reasonable price: Cartomizers E9/V9 Compatible Trying to convince my buddy that his best bet is to cut his losses now and switch to something more common, like the KR808. Sooner or later he's going to want a mod or a PT and since they don't even make...

    Direct E-Cig

    The mako battery is four 1.2V 1/3AA NiMH cells heatshurnk together. There are a couple pages of discussion on why this isn't a particularly good setup, starting here.

    Vaporrenu liquid review

    My order showed up today. I wouldn't say the blackberry is the "best" fruit flavor I've ever had, but it's certainly not bad. Three of the four flavors - blackberry, candy apple and pomegranate - were very good. The melon was ok, but melon is a fairly subtle flavor to begin with, and when you...

    New Mod,,,,,,,TEKKEON MOD 5v...Wicked !!

    So if you charge it while on, it will charge, but not all the way? That's odd. Good to know though. It makes using it as a PT a bit less efficient, but it's certainly not a dealbreaker.

    Best Apple...or Apple related...flavor ??

    The Candy Apple from Vapor Renu is exactly this. However, like all VR juice, the amount of flavor is definitely on the weak side. I prefer a subtle flavor for an all-day vape, but if you like it strong, it's probably not for you.

    Direct E-Cig

    $1/ml for high end juice (like Essence) is not totally out of line, but I'm sure they're just repackaging cheap China juice and overcharging for it. The 5V battery claim is also extremely suspicious. Either they're lying, or they're using two incredibly tiny Li-ion cells and the effective...

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    Improbable, but not impossible. They could be using two very small cells in series with a simple resistor, but the battery life would be atrocious. This site reeks of scam with their automated billing scheme, and at $30 a pop, those batteries wouldn't be worthwhile even if they do put out 5V.

    18650 & Rcr123a Batteries???

    3V CR123a and CR2 batteries are somewhat common. You can often find disposables anywhere they sell batteries, and rechargeables at camera stores. The 3.7V versions of those batteries, along with every other 3.7V rechargeable battery you might use in a mod (including the 18650) are pretty much...

    Where Can I Get A......? E9 parts, reasonably priced, in the US

    I recently got a buddy of mine turned on to vaping, but I guess he wasn't really paying attention when I told him what model to order, because he ended up with an E9 kit from e-cig.com. He likes it, but he wants more cartos and he wants to get them from the US this time. E9 is the "weird"...

    The Vypr-510 from Vaprlife

    Any unregulated mod (as all the ones you mentioned are) should provide the same experience with the same batteries. They're just big battery holders and shouldn't have any meaningful effect on vape quality (barring manufacturing defect). If you are noticing a lack of performance with your...

    USA Liquid Suppliers - Cost Per ml + Shipping Chart

    While TV is certainly a good deal if you're willing to do some mixing yourself, it's squarely in the realm of DIY. You need to buy multiple bottles, plus empty bottles, then measure and mix. If you're willing to go that route, you can certainly save some money with TV. You can save even more...

    PVs, cartos, and liquid made in the USA?

    And by "assembly", all they really mean is that they stick the parts in a box and shrinkwrap it here. The attys, batteries, carts and probably boxes themselves are still made in China. It's just marketing BS.
