Dripster if you are from Belgium could you please send me some chocolates?

I mean I am a big fan, I always acknowledge you....

Dang, he may have really put me on ignore this time. That's not like skinhead behavior though, a peaceful ignoring and moving on with your life??

In any case, if someone wants to quote this post... I really LOVE Belgium chocolate and most of the REALLY good stuff never leaves "the country" too.

Everyone has skinheads.

Just about every country has that type of group though. Do you also judge America through our skinhead population? No, I don't think so.

I also don't subscribe to even placing a political affiliation label on him. You're giving him too much credit.

I hate conflict but for some reason I enjoy watching you two go at it. I especially love when @Punk In Drublic gets in on both of you. Guaranteed stoppage of everything. Lol

@Punk In Drublic does have skills in that direction.

I was merely giving an example to point out that it was possible. There are even arguments that skinheads are nice. “Romper Stomper” does have its touching moments. Also I’m told that young Russel Crowe is hot.

    I gave up on single battery 18650 mods years ago. While the all time record holder in my corral is a dual 26650 mod, lately I've gone back to single battery mods but in the 21700 size.

    If a single 18650 mod is not cutting the mustard, look into larger batteries or multiple batteries. Ether way they will last longer than a single 18650.

    Samsung 40T (21700) is giving me over 24 clock hours chain vaping on a single cell in my iStick Pico S. 10W is a low vape level, but it conserves juice and battery life and creates a vape stream that equals a cigarette smoke plume. When my wick is new I can drop the wattage to around 7W for a while.

    yeah I think any mods I buy from now on will be dual mods....but at the moment I don't want to spend on new mods so was hoping for better batteries....
    ( rephrase that....dual squonk mods :D )
    My understanding is that modern batteries will not improve much energy density or safety wise until either metallic lithium or “glass” batteries are developed. At this point the entire format of round batteries could disappear as well. Glass batteries may also have such increased levels of safety that VV mod safety systems may become irrelevant and everything may simply go mech again for simplicity. I personally wouldn’t count on either happening within the next ten years myself.

    Tiny clarification. While Samsung does call it a 30A, Mooch's tests placed it at 20A 4000mAh, which is still fine for use. If a true 30A 21700 is needed the 30T is a better choice with true 30A but only 3000 mAh.
    There are Samsung 40T's (2112) rated at 30a CDR Samsung 40T 21700 4000mAh 30A Battery
    and Samsung 40T's (2111) rated at 35a CDR. Samsung 40T 21700 4000mAh 35A Battery - INR21700-40T
    What the difference is between those two SKU's (2111/2112), I don't know, but would like to.

    Samsung 30T's rated at 35a CDR Samsung 30T 21700 35A Flat Top 3000mAh Battery - Genuine Funny enough Mooch is even mentioned on this webpage, with a link back to this forum.

    Seems like dual battery mod with Samsung 30T's is the way to go. They seem to be cheapest here

    The only things I have with chocolate in them are a 100ml glass bottle of Chocolate Glazed by Loaded, 2× 60ml glass bottles (one of which is half empty) of D-Rudd by 80V, and a handful of 60ml plastic bottles of White Chocolate Mocha by Barista Brew Co. so nope, it's all California I'm afraid. :p

    I have been buying batteries from here lately and have been happy with their service. Also the Samsung 30T’s are a buck cheaper than IMR, here’s the link.

    Right you are. Good looking out. I know ppl rag on ebay but this looks like cheapest for a single 30T Samsung INR 21700 3000mAh 4000mAh 5000mAh Rechargeable Vape Battery Wholesale | eBay
    but as soon as you buy 2 or anything else, it goes back to 18650 battery store. Doesn't look like ebay can touch 18650batterystore's 21700 charger prices either. I'll probably order a single 30T and efest slim K1 battery charger from here. I think a 1a charge rate is better than 2a for maintaining battery life. Noticed the efest LUC V2 has 2 charging speeds... (0.5a X 2) or (1a X 2). 0.5a X 2 is the way I'd go if I were a dual battery mod kinda person.

    It’s a deal if they’re real. If.

    Interesting. Never tried them. Their shipping is also a few dollars cheaper with the USPS option. IMR is UPS ground only (I think but base shipping is $5.99).
    I’ve been happy with them for the couple orders I’ve placed. They ship fast and their prices are nice. I haven’t heard anything bad about them in my research before placing my first order.

    I recently ordered two Samsung 40T's for my Pico S from Orbtronic. They were $8.99 each, $4.03 shipping for a total of $22.01. Not a bad price and the 40T's perform well. I'm getting a full 24 clock hours (yes, including sleep) on my Pico S vaping frequently at 10W. As usual, they came with a dual 21700 snap top storage box.

    The Pico S includes an 18650 adapter, but I haven't tried that yet.
