    Samsung 25r

    I've ordered nearly a dozen 25R's from illumination supply, they're authentic for sure. Also on the trusted suppliers list I believe.

    What is the amp limit of these batteries??

    I've used the LG HE2 and the VTC4 side by side extensively, the LG HE2 performs better for longer from my personal real world experience. While the LG HE2 only has a 20A continuous drain rating it can burst 35A for nearly a minute, during extremely high drain discharge(30-35A) the LG HE2 still...

    SMPL Mod by Epic Design Studios

    The machinist in me has been curious since you made the post about it, glad to see it's working now! Out of curiosity, how much material needed to be removed?

    RDA Pocketable RDA

    I just vape my wicks dry before I pocket the mod, nothing to leak = no mess. One of the benefits to me with Rayon wick is the ability to vape it all the way dry with no bad/dry taste. Edit: One of the most leak proof RDA designs I've ever come across was the Viking - VIKING REBUILDABLE...

    What's the best version of the PANZER clone?

    - $26.17 Panzer Style Mechanical Mod - 18650/18500/18350 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping I've had one of these since the week they were released on FT, still hits just as good as day one and nothing at all has gone wrong with it.

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    Larger coil ID is what I came here to recommend, good advice. Only other advice I have is to try Rayon, I switched over to Rayon about two months ago and it's so much better at cotton for high wattage vaping in my experiences, I have multiple devices currently set up with a .12 build and 3mm...

    Samsung 25R questions

    I have four mechanical devices currently build to .12 ohms, all four are using Samsung 25r's and have been for over a month, no issues whatsoever. Nothing exciting to report in any way, actually. They just work, when they reach 3.4-3.5V they produce really crappy vapor so I charge them at that...

    King of the 18650 batteries???

    The reason people say that the Efest 30A is a Sony VTC4 is that Efest decided that the very first batch of purple 2100mah 30A batteries were going to be re-wrapped sony VTC4's(I own two of these re-wraps, they were authentic VTC4's), I personally think that they did this so people would think...

    SMPL Mod by Epic Design Studios

    Are you using cloned atomizers? The 510 threads on all three of my SMPL's are by far the tightest of any mods I own, I personally like this as it ensures the best possible connection at the 510 threads but you need to have an atomizer that is high quality or at least machined very well. You...

    Fake Samsung 25Rs??

    If this ends up being a true counterfeit then this would be the first report of a fake 25R that I have come across. The problem with so many people taking a liking to one particular battery is that it does fuel the people that make fakes to get a quick buck by fooling people with an...

    Suspect VTC5 Unwrapped

    Definitely a larger top gap than any Sony cell I own, it's likely you're correct about it being a Samsung 20 or 25R. There was a large batch of fakes that were using 25R cells.

    Silver plating your removable contact pins

    It's been done, there aren't many out there but there is a Pure Silver version of the Caravela in 18350 mode. Even at ~$2800 they sold out during the pre-order.

    Silver plating your removable contact pins

    Once the current leaves the silver, what is going to improve the conductivity of the rest of the mod? At very best, a pure silver contact would solve any possible issues at the contact point of the mod but if there are conductivity issues in the rest of the mod a pure silver contact would do...

    Still ready to light up? looky here :)

    Mmmmmmm, Cadmium. That's what is missing in my juice.

    Bacteria/Fungus/Virus in juice?

    Pretty much every coil that produces vapor will reach a higher temp than that. Don't believe me? Shoot an infrared thermometer at your coil while you fire it.

    Sigelei 100 watt.

    Samsung 25R will power the 100W without any issues and they're $6 per battery. - 18650 Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh High Discharge Flat Top I strictly vape below .20 ohms with mechanical mods, the Samsung 25R gives the VTC5 a real run for its money especially when you compare price to...

    Silver plating your removable contact pins

    Silver plating a base metal will only improve conductivity on a very small scale if at all, there has been testing done to show that it really doesn't help as much as using a properly designed mod that will not rely on plated contacts to remain highly conductive. If a switch is badly designed...
