    AW the same as 'high drain'?

    Yea, avoid those diode bucked LiCo cells like the plague for these applications, they are NOT suitable nor safe here. The terms RCR123 and 16340 in and of themselves have very little to do with voltage or chemistry. The term "16340" tells is the size of the cell. It could be a 1.2V NIMH cell...

    AW the same as 'high drain'?

    If your 18650 application is pretty normal, like running a typical atty, or even a LR atty, then the 2900mAH AWs are a great choice. There are IMR18650s available, but they are about half the capacity. There isn't much to gain performance wise until you are operating loads in excess of 4-5 amps...

    AW the same as 'high drain'?

    The black label protected cells (in fact, almost any cell that is "protected" from any brand) is always a Lithium Cobalt chemistry li-ion cell. Maximum safe drain rates will be in the 1-2C range depending on the manufacture. AW has been souring cells for years capable of 2C rates reasonably...

    training a joye 510 battery

    Float/trickle charging li-ion cells is bad for them. If the charger is designed in such a way that it does take 8 hours of charging after the green light has come on to finish charging, then I would personally consider the product to be defective from the factory.

    Got the 6 volt blues...

    See if I understand this correctly.. we're going to take a SB, which has room for a cell with around 10WH of stored energy than can easily drive low resistance atomizers to the ~6-10W range with an estimated operating time (that's "trigger-on" time) of about an hour or more. We're going to take...

    Got the 6 volt blues...

    I think you should try low resistance cartomizers on a good low resistance 18650 and see how you like that.

    UltraFire 18650's 3000Mah Unrealiable?

    Tenergy cells have a track record of inconsistency from cell to cell that is on par with ultrafires bad reputation. In other-words... Saying that an ultrafire performs "on par" with a tenergy does not prop either cell any higher on the totem pole.

    Generic battery conditioning question

    I would actually suggest ignoring the instruction to plug them in for many many hours for the first charge. This was probably regurgitated from the days of NiCD powered consumer devices. In the case of NiCD cells, the LONG trickle charge was healthy to do once and awhile as it helps break up...

    Madvapes 5V 510 passthrough not getting enough power?

    Have to understand that if a power supply is current limited, then the effective voltage will drop to whatever it can support at that maximum current. 5V is only 5V if it can hold 5V under a load. In the case of current limited power supplies, you will actually get better vaping performance from...

    It had to happen!

    I set my BB up vertical on my desk when I'm at the computer. When I'm delivering pizzas I have a little pocket in the middle of a plastic cup-holder job that sits right behind the shifter where I used to keep a lighter (usually). Now it holds the BB.

    How long does the atomizer in a cartomizer last?

    I just started about a week ago on the ecig thing and quickly took a preference to the cartos, mine are even low resistance and I've been using the same one almost all week since I started. Though I have been making a point to keeping it very wet most of the time usually to the point of gargling...

    Post-Combustion Tobacco flavor? Does it exsist?

    Thank you all for the input on this concept.. I am only on my 3rd day vaping now so have really been in a tough transition phase where I feel like the ecig is making me sick but I still want an analog. I was thinking if I had a really close replication of the regular flavor maybe I could "trick"...

    Post-Combustion Tobacco flavor? Does it exsist?

    I get the impression that most e-juices that simulate tobacco flavor are simulating something more like taking a whiff off the top of a freshly opened pack of smokes. I'm wondering if anyone has made an e-liquid that tastes more like the smoke that results from actually igniting an analog...

    What happens if you use the LR atties on an ego and it does mess your battery up?

    ~$5-7 at HF gets a full blown albeit cheaply made DMM. I caught them on sale once, $3 for the fully functional multimeter. Bought one for a friend who needed to have one around but "didn't want to spend the money" lol.. Eric

    First drags from my first ecig....

    Yea, I guess I was expecting the transition to the ecig to be like transition from one type of cig to another, I never thought of it as like a "whole new" thing for the body to get used to, even though it really is. As for the model... It's a BB w/AW IMR14500s. I picked up both a couple...

    First drags from my first ecig....

    Thanks for the great replies and ideas! I went back to the PG 555 for the remainder of the evening, went and had my usual several beers and just went ahead and sucked on the PV almost as much as I would have been sucking on a normal analog through the evening. Most of the strange feelings...

    Looking for a charger

    I'm not aware of any such charger besides a hobby style charger (for radio controlled type hobbies) which would require an external cradle anyways.

    First drags from my first ecig....

    Hi hairball! Thank you for that insight on the nic absorption. That does make some sense. Perhaps I would be best off to go to a lower strength fluid. I'm thinking about trying stuff from iVape. I mixed up the VG/PG thing.. I have made the correction. It was VG that I was noticing as very...

    fellow vapers PLEASE HELP!!! I need a 18650 3000 mah battery for my chuck ASAP!!!

    Call hobby stores that deal with Radio controlled "adult" toys... Some electric planes use LiCo or LiMn cells. You could use IMR (3.7V LiMn) cells for this application as well. Not sure if any would carry that or not but hey... worth a try right?

    First drags from my first ecig....

    ...My chest/throat feels sort-of like I just smoked many analogs in a row. A little soar and heavy feeling. Minor spastic feelings over the body and a bit of tightness in the chest. Nothing severe but not quite what I expected. I don't know what to make of it. I'm beginning to think I...
