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 used to want one of these tanks- not sure why I never bought it. That might be a good thing since the mod I would've used it on, I gave away.Just got this in and its huge. Also comes with a clear tank. So far only down side is the tank isn't glass.

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.
The seller i deal with on ebay is just a bit more than what you found,theirs are $59 shipped for 10,but i have been dealing with them for 2 years now,and never an issue.This is all they deal with is batteries and chargers.The sellers user id that i deal with is Genuinecells,they are in Florida.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.

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
Oops, sorry about that. It was actually @corn flakes who posted that and you commented on it.I've no idea what you're talking about.

Yep got 10 of the bellcaps.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.
Same here. I was going to get another 5, but I really don't think I would ever get to them. They are really solid and the 10 should last me for years.Yep got 10 of the bellcaps.
Been using one a few months on and off and have yet to notice any degradation of the threads or anything.Same here. I was going to get another 5, but I really don't think I would ever get to them. They are really solid and the 10 should last me for years.
My wife is going to use all the istick internal batts until they die. I wonder how long that will be? One of my 30 watts is 2 years old and still acts good as new. Between the 30's and 40's I'm wondering if she can run 5 years on them? Is that possible for an internal batt?
My istick 20W is about 6 months old and works great, except that the button started sticking about a week or two ago. My guess is I'll toss it when it sticks hard enough that I can't unstick it.My wife is going to use all the istick internal batts until they die. I wonder how long that will be?

If you are careful with your Kayfun bell caps. Yoy are going to have to wait a while before they give up.I've been off the forums for the most part the last month. Just lurking here and there. I still have yet to buy a single thing post 8/8. I've grown comfortable with just waiting for signs of danger before buying anything else. I'm testing longevity of PC tanks for my kayfuns. I've been vaping the same 3 tanks in rotation for 2 months straight without having to replace any parts. I'm rotating my mods too. Every battery I switch mods. I have them lined up in date order of last use in my closet. It's an attractive army lined up I must say.

It's all going to be dependent on how many charge cycles the mod goes through. On average, you're looking at around 300-500 cycles before you start seeing the battery performance start to seriously degrade.

I did the air thing and alcohol thing but neither worked. Will try the grease. Thanks for the suggestion.I'm looking pretty good them. She has 5 of them and 3 of them are pretty new. She likes picos and other smaller mods but the smaller size and usb charging makes her life easy. I just want to get max usage out of what I have on hand so her burning them up is a good thing.
I had an old istick 20 that was sticking. I used a can of compressed air and blew around the cracks of the button and then took a small dab of dialectric grease and pushed it into the spaces. Cleaned it right up. Dialectric grease is super cheap and can be found at any hardware or auto parts store. It's made for electrical connections and contains no petroleum. Silicone only.
The istick line is my favorite kind of battery holder. I bought my first 20 watt back in November 2014. Once in hand I added another 20, 2 10's, 8 30's, 1 each 40 and 100 over the next few months.I've been off the forums for the most part the last month. Just lurking here and there.
