Are you done stocking up?

Oh, okay...then, you'd had it before.
I must live under a rock.

True but a pretty rock.

Maybe a small test bottle for a DIY lemonade. I'll even buy a bottle of lemonade from the supermarket for a side by side comparison. That will tell me all that I need to know.

Don't forget to grab one of those squeeze lemons (lemon juice). A couple or so drops is a good addition to some flavors.

Me too..... never had Horchata. Got some of the flavoring but not brave enough to try it yet.

Most shops charge like $8.00 a piece for the authentic.

You can get the STM rba+ and the STM base below, which is in the US. Great vendor, super service, low S/H (about $3.00, or Free at I think $30 in purchases). Got some of both a few months ago for my stash. When Tish (1 of the owners) says something's authentic...it always is, too!

Use code 1storder10 for 10% off if you've never ordered from them before.

Accessories - Ecig Parts - Kanger - DesertVapes

RBA+ - Reg. $6.95 - 10% = $6.25
Base - Reg. $5.95 - 10% = $5.35

Has the bases only in Black or White now, but usually has them in SS, too. Must be out. She can order more for you though if asked.

Much cheaper prices for the same batteries at
LG HG2 18650 3000mAh 20A Flat Top Battery

they take pp too.

hmmmm.... that would be 70 bucks PLUS shipping..... did I miss any great sale or coupon?

I am a huge STM fan and have all kinds of parts for them.

Best part for the STM I have used yet? The bell caps from Fasttech. They are fantastic. I buy authentic bases and RBAs and the cap (about $1.25 each) and drip tips and I have a full STM for about $12.

When I lived out west in AZ and CA I frequently had Horchata drink. Out here in east, not so often.

Very common here in the SW, the drink is very good and refreshing

I often thought if it could be carbonated it might catch on then make an Ice cream cooler

the cap (about $1.25 each)

Do you have a SKU or link to the cap that is working for you?
Thanks

They guarantee authentic batteries, does ebay? Not sure about coupons, you can always do a google search on that. Plus they are a US company not an unknown overseas seller. I have been hearing that GB and FT have been having packages of batteries held up in customs in their own countries and never seen or heard from again by you or the company.
With many sources of batteries, some being not authentic, at least here they guarantee them to be real and not rebranded 10 amps posing to be something else.
my 2 pennies.

 

[J.d. Roberts]

That's still $1 more per battery than through Orbtronic.

$5.99 LG HG2 18650 Battery 3000mAh Flat Top - Orbtronic.com

Nice. Thanks. I still don't have a problem paying a bit more, at least I know that my money is supporting a family who depends on my business to survive to pay their bills and lease. These online stores, you never really know. Might be a joint venture with several involved or even a business from an outside country. I try to support locally; city, state wide, country first. Unless, the deal is just too damn good to pass up. I'm silly, I think about kinda' stuff sometimes.

Yeah, I am aware of the high risk of the counterfeit issue for the batteries. On Ebay, I focus only on US sellers and based on my 15+ years experience with them, I am always cautious when buying from a new seller. So far, I have never ever been burned. Knocking on wood......
However, not all sellers are bad, just a small percentage. Amazon as an example is not better IMHO.

FT and GB offers a little better pricing but as you said, packages with batteries does not arrive. GB states that batteries cannot be shipped to US while FT adds a ridiculous charge for another shipping method.

I agree that the risk of batteries being rebranded by an US seller is minimal, but I doubt we can be 100% sure of that either. It is easy to state authentic but again, we as consumers, probably at least 99% of us does not have a way to determine it.
With a reputable large company whose main focus is on batteries, we should be safe.

Oh well, with all the chinese, I recall years ago, while I had a business, I spoke to a manufacturer representative. It was said, "give us a sample and we will copy it to the exact specifications for a good price".

JMHO

Heh.... yeah, I am a cheapo always looking for the best deal.
You have a good point here.

Of course.

Here is the 5 pack I bought. They work perfectly. I was shocked at how good these are for the $$$.

I have bought from imrbatteries and it really helped me knowing that 'Mooch' our own ecf guru on batteries also like them.
Battery Testing Summary: Basen

 

[bnrkwest]

After vaping on it for a day, I really like Ego One V2 with rebuildable CLR coils, the 1.0 Coil is a bit low ohm's for me but at 9-10 watts, gives me a nice Vape, so I recommend it for anyone looking for other rebuildables for their stash. I am wondering if anyone uses rayon to rewick these? I like rayon better than cotton now

I have a couple of the EGO mega tanks that came with an Evic battery that I ordered long ago. Had never tried them so I guess it may be time. LOL
I like the idea of being able to rebuild on those coils.

[ScandaLeX]

@ScandaLeX I take vaping very seriously precisely because it keeps from smoKing. I'm so sorry it's troublesome for you. I hope it never becomes so troublesome that you go back to smoking.

I've no idea what you're talking about.
