Comment by 'Baditude' in 'Built in battery box mod?'
I often will carry two complete setups with me. And a set of charged 18650 batteries in a plastic battery case. My clothes always have pockets, and they are usually filled with vape gear. That's the norm for me.- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in 'My thoughts on the Lipo dilemma.'
I agree that all batteries should be used only within the parameters that they were designed for. The cylindrical Li-ion batteries (18650 et al) are designed to be used only in battery packs with BMS (battery management systems that include protection circuitry) in the portable power tool...- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in 'Guide to Choosing a Battery Charger'
I would first look at the major brands such as Xtar, Efest LUC, and Nitecore, read the spec sheets, and see which models accept the size batteries you'll be using. I don't have a specific model to recommend.- Baditude

Actually, any button top battery IMR/INR battery of appropriate length (18350/18490/18650) for a specific Provari 2.5 will work fine. Provape simply tested the different brands of IMR batteries at the time of the introduction of the Provari and the tests revealed that the AW IMR batteries...- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in '(5) Baditude's Cartomizer Tank Setup Guide'
@PurpleDragon, your Wismec Presa is a regulated mod, so any reference to the "ancient" Safe Vaping Power Chart is irrelevant. That chart was designed for use for only cartomizer use. You're using a sub-ohm coil of some sort (0.2 ohm) so the chart doesn't apply to your application. Your Presa...- Baditude

The "Explain It to the Dumb Noob" came about from an actual post on the ECF forum, where the original poster called himself a dumb noob.- Baditude

Yes, you can use those batteries safely. Being a regulated mod, the protection circuitry will refuse to fire if the battery is inadequate for the settings that you set. I recently got a Wismec RX200 myself, and I purchased three LG 18650HG2 3000 mah 20 amp CDR IMR/hybrid batteries for it. I...- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in '(4) Good Starter Setups for a Beginning Vapor'
Nicotine concentration determines the "throat hit". Increase the nic conc. for more of a throat hit. Generally speaking, the better the gear setup, the better the overall vaping experience. And, this is especially true for the juice delivery attachment. The Mini Nautilus is argueably the top...- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in '(17) Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised'
It's called "in series". Some mods are designed to use two 18650 batteries simultaneously. Series (batteries stacked end to end) will double the voltage output, but the capacity (mah) and amps will stay the same as using only one battery alone. Parallel (side by side) batteries will double the...- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in '(10) Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods'
@YEOJ. For a relatively new vaper, a regulated mod, for added safety. A regulated mod has built-in protection circuitry against short circuits; a mechanical mod does not. A regulated mod has built-in voltage and ohm meters, and regulates the battery voltage start to finish; a regulated mod...- Baditude

Could you repost your pics in your blog. I often used these pics to show this method of wicking a Kayfun-style tank. Since the forum switched formats, the pics are no longer showing up.- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in '(17) Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised'
0.2 ohms requires a battery to have at least 21 amps continuous discharge rate. 0.1 requires 42 amps continuous discharge rate: 0.4 ohms = 10.5 amp draw, 0.3 ohms = 14.0 amp draw, 0.2 ohms = 21.0 amp draw, 0.1 ohms = 42.0 amp draw, 0.0 ohms = dead short = battery goes into thermal...- Baditude

Comment by 'Baditude' in '(17) Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised'
@ Tkayis300: You can figure this out on your own using an Ohm's Law calculator. The 35 amp purple Efest is a rewrapped LGHE2, which the manufacturer says has 20 amps continuous. Therefore you can build down to 0.3 ohm (without any safety wiggle room). With some safe headroom, 0.4 ohm is...- Baditude
