I have a portable fan. It uses a drill battery with probably 18650s in it.

My electric lawn mower uses 42 Panasonic 18650s in the battery pack. The exact same model batteries I use to vape! I'm guessing those will be around for a while.

:shock: What next?! Are you guys planning to DIY batteries?
Wouldn't be surprised if you do lol.
But they do have other uses in real world, don't they? I have no idea myself--I only use them for my mods. :facepalm:
I'm not going to worry about storing batteries--at least not yet. I can't imagine a scenario under which they would be banned.

18650's are not going anywhere even in the event of a complete US vaping ban. They're used around the world in various applications besides vaping. One example is

The question about all of that is, what I mentioned before. Most of 18650's are used by manufacturers (in integrated/packaged products, not end-user replaceable). If sometime during the next 20+ years manufacturers decide to go with newer, more efficient, and much safer batteries in their laptops and countless other products, that is where a potential problem may arise.

People were wondering if loose batteries are really in use in non vaping applications. The answer is yes. The battery places we get them from were selling to other, non vaping, markets before we showed up.

    Yeah, the single Zeus is becoming scarce....have you tried the Elevate? Made by Wotofo? I really like them and the dual deck is small so I use a single coil with no problems. I just barely thin the wicking. Its top air also and vaporrange has them under $20. Only 3 colors but the vape is great.

    Give a look. Free shipping and I did not check to see if discounts were available. I figured 'Honey' could do that.

    I have so many tanks that I honestly don't remember if I tried that one or not.

    Leaving the DT off and puffing on the cartomizer/atty. Could get a little hot at times.

    I have to admit that I did that but only with 801 or 302 atties.

    It won't be necessary because 18650's are not going anywhere even in the event of a complete US vaping ban. They're used around the world in various applications besides vaping.

    Hope so but I did diversify and ordered a 2*700 mod. Of course it's coming by raft then mule train.

    Honey got me a code yesterday that worked on a sale item, it also had Hallow but did not use it... I think the code honey had was a little bit more of a discount than Hallow was anyway.

    EDIT: It says right on their site that Hallow will work on sale items, but you only get 5% off not 15% (I think the code honey got me was more than 5%).

    EDIT #2: I got curious and looked at my invoice and the discount is not there! It was when it was in my cart but must have pulled a fast one at checkout and I did not notice it!!! uugghh.

    I have yet to see a code - nor coupon on any item I am interested in . . . . OR any sale price either . . . o_O The only thing honey does is ask if I want to put an item on the "Droplist" (which I do) . . . AND - Then when I go to check the "Droplist" I can only find the very first 2 items (out of 10 ) that I tagged and asked "Honey" to watch . . . :(

    :blink: Matter of fact, I personally went to check the price on one item this past weekend and it already has been lowered by $10 and there was no notice from "Honey" at all . . . :nah:

    I am starting to realize that "Honey" may be actually tasting a little to "Sour" for "Me" . . . . :cry:

    The thing that concerns me is that Honey is no doubt selling the information on your buying/browsing habits. Nothing is free. Not sure if it even matters with how much we are all tracked anyway. Still waiting to see if it saves me enough money to justify it.

    AGREED - But first I'm just waiting to see if it will even save me a penny to know whether or not it even works - like it does, as reported, for so many others . . . :(


    EDIT: BTW - I am using one of "Honey's" partner sites . . . Walmart . . . Honey symbol shows up right near "Price", Click on icon - provides me with the option to save/watch in the "Droplist", fill "Form" & "Save" - then recheck "Droplist" a couple of days later for item still not on list - nothing . . . However, as I already mentioned the item price has dropped $10.00 over the past few days and no notice either . . . Oh Well . . . :rolleyes:

    I ordered the Ephro Cold Steel, Champagne finish, for $40.75 from FT using the map coupon code. Ships "next day".
    I ordered here rather than Sourcemore because I don't like "pre order". Not that much more, and I know about when I'll get it.

    Lol. Roger that.

    Thing about the Lemo is I used to hurt my fingers trying to get it open. It was a problem. When it worked, it worked great. But it was the first real RTA I could get to work at all.

    Ok I’m running out of pertinent things to say. Y’all have a good evening and chat soon.

    I use the rubber waffle grip pads for the Lemo and the smaller atomizers. Those make opening a stuck atomizer much easier.

    Are you sure you are using the right Chrome extension? lol I have never seen a "Droplist", but maybe there is one.

    EDIT: Here is the link: Honey

    Their site is here: Honey

    I think they are making their money by affiliate program sales. If the site you are on is one that has an affiliate program they use, it reloads the page. But In the past month or two I have probably saved at least $300 and I have like $25 in cash back coming too (gift cards). I have not received a single spam email, and the only emails I have received from honey is my cash back notifications. I also think you can use honey without entering your email address, I think they only need that for the cash back.
