    Project Platinum Revival Beta Testing

    Hey gang I'm back :) Great to see Isaac still has is innovative hat on :) Considering a "carto" was meant as a one time use, anything more than that is pure bonus. I believe the industry has settled on 7-10ml for an accurate longevity of "anything" before it is toast or no longer wettable...

    1- Battery life and 2- dusty e-liquid

    I am not a proponent of sweeteners in liquids, but know exactly what you are stating wrt "dry" hits. Try using Ethyl Maltol at 1-2%. I use it in all my tobacco vapes and it "wets" them nicely. BTW EM @15% = Cotton Candy :)

    odd battery behaviour

    Sound advice provided here but as Rickajho stated, not all eGo batteries are created equal.

    Problem charging 18350 battery!

    Get yourself an XTar VP1, it has the capacity of waken up a battery from the dead.

    AW ICR123 Protected - Different Voltages at cutoff

    I suggest you read Battery University my friend (my source) not some thread on ECF. Although not necessarily required on IMRs, all Lithium batteries should be protected. The wording that you have quoted here if it appears as is (e.g not your wording) leaves a lot to be desired. Prior to IMRs...

    AW ICR123 Protected - Different Voltages at cutoff

    I'm surprised you are not popping your coil @ 5.75V. You should be looking at 2.5Ohm (longevity) 2.2Ohm will do the job though. BTW your set up is drawing 3.2A battery cut off is 3A, so yes you are stressing your batteries, especially the one closest to the load. @ 2.5Ohm you will be drawing...

    AW ICR123 Protected - Different Voltages at cutoff

    There not? Mind explaining why? Unprotected I can see, but protected in "normal" applications they are fine. AAMOF outside of venting with flames when they fail vice just venting, the do protect the over zealous uninformed yahoos out there, by shutting itself off.

    ego c battery repair problem

    Chalk it up to lessons learned. Toss the batt and buy a new one. Things are cheap theses days compared to years ago when an eGo battery retailed for $30

    AW ICR123 Protected - Different Voltages at cutoff

    Unless you are running a parallel circuit in a buck and boost system, the battery closest to the source (load) will always drain more. make sure you rotate them. It has nothing to do with ICR or IMR. Also make sure your batteries are kept in sets. You definitely tripped the circuit on the 2.9V...

    I seriously doubt you got that information from the mfr.

    You have answered your own question. You want confirmation, you go it :) Toss it.

    Kanger heads now have counterfeit identification on the box

    Those are exactly what I get from my distributor, those are the real Mc Coy's. Mine do not have the new water test logo (old stock) but the pics you have posted I have been receiving since day one. Sorry if I am adding to the confusion Dave :(

    Kanger heads now have counterfeit identification on the box

    I have never received a "white" box of heads. That being said, I have old stock without the new stickers on them.

    What happened to my battery?

    Interesting read. There has to be a common denominator here. I have been vaping for 4.5 years + and have never seen anything of the sort on any of my batteries. The only thing I can think of, is that our batteries are wrapped in shrink wrap, and overheating the battery will cause it to shrink...

    Why did the battery become volatile?

    THere was no head attached, he carried it in a spare 18350 eVic tube.

    Why did the battery become volatile?

    Carrying a spare battery in a metal container is a no no and an accident waiting to happen, that is why spare battery carriers are designed and fitted plastic. As the previous post stated there was something wrong with the insulation of the battery. Of course this is all speculation, but...

    Lowest resistance MVP2 can read?

    Short strokes..., sub ohm vaping is questionable at best. Second stroke, it was intended for a mechanical mod. Keep your coils above 1.5 and you will be fine. :)
