    I love the Thelema. Have you tried the rba for it? Looking for tips. I built it twice but I’m less than impressed with my results. I can usually do those tiny RBAs okay not sure what my problem is with this one.

    I did try it and the airflow seemed tight. I don’t know if it was just my build or if that’s just how it is.

    I read a review of the Thelema on Reddit that said the rba doesn’t allow use of the airflow adjustment. So I guess the rba is a "like it or leave it" kind of deal in terms of draw/airflow.

    Just peeled back the shipping label on the 2nd part of an HC shipment with 2 atty's in it - the original shipping label from China under the US shipping label has the description "Cosmetics" written in, lol.

    Well enjoy that eye shadow then.

    Liionwholesale has Molicel P26a in stock, but not P42a

    Molicel/NPE INR-18650-P26A 35A 2600mAh Flat Top 18650 Battery - Authorized Distributor

    For those that need button tops, they also have a Molicel P26a rewrap with a button top. I trust it truly is a Molicel P26a becuase they are the only US authorized reseller or Molicel/NPE batteries. Selling a fake molicel would put their authorized reseller status in jeopardy.

    "Note this button top is manufactured by Liion Wholesale by using a flat top Molicel P26A and then adding a button top to it, Molicel does not offer this product as a button top."

    Is there such a thing as getting a button top and then taking the button top off and rewrapping it? Or is that dangerous and not practical? Would open up options if so.

    Also, I have plenty of 18650's atm - holding out for some 21700's for the Aegis Maxes I have and Gaur-21s that I'm waiting on FT to ship out. At this rate though, those batteries won't need to be restocked until 2022. :lol:

    Also just checked - Liion still has the P28A version of that Molicel you linked above if you're up for paying another buck or two for some added juice longevity. They're still cheap(er) regardless.

    I never noticed the P28a before. According to mooch, it's just as good as the P26a.

    But it seems to me you aren't getting much for that extra money. But good to keep in mind for future purchases if P26a isn't available.

    Nah, not getting much. Might get you another 20 puffs or so though if you're really that desperately low on fuel, lol.

    Vapefly Optima is also on sale right now for nearly half the price, but lacks the 510 capability (does have a mesh RBA pod though) and is singled out to a 18650 only.
    I read a review and he compares it to the Thelema. It even has a mesh coil RDTA. Sounds like a good one!

    I wonder if anyone stocked up on just external batt pods with RBA's. Since they have so many now with improvements and RBA's. It sure wouldn't take up as much room as all my mods & tanks LOL! Cheaper too, just curious.

    I have some but didn’t purposely stock up on them. Probably most from reviews.

    I do like them but they are a novelty for me. If I see a really good sale I might pick up another Vinci X and OXVA X since I have the pods & coils & RBA's. But every different brand takes other pods and coils- would be really hard to get them all.
