LOL, go fishin' much, Ben?

Not that these aren't my favorite cartos, mind you. Tbh I don't see me switching juice suppliers soon so I couldn't care less what flavors you have in stock, but [SUBTLE HINT ALARM SUBTLE HINT ALARM] I wouldn't mind seeing some variety in the battery department.

But yeah, to answer your question: Awesomest of cartomizers. :D

Batteries with color options AND hyper-strict QC requirements. I don't give a flying rat's testes if they cost $30 a pop so long as they're rated for the load we're putting on them and they're absolutely reliable. No goofy sensors (automatics) that have different pressure requirements to activate, no halfazzed buttons (manuals) that might or might not work when they click, no surprises on air vent sizes, no yum-cha circuitry that randomly decides to not turn off.

Batteries are teh evil. Humbug. Get off my lawn you little bastages!

I agree about the batteries!!! Ben did you ever look into those ones you and I had emailed about? My current battery supplier sure does change things up on me alot. And now my beloved shorties aren't as short anymore! And the new ones I have ordered have different airholes/switches again? Maybe these will be like the ones I have modded already. But the cartomizers? Hands down the best I've used. Hmmmm, is that why they're the only ones I use now?

As I look at it...all stock batteries are disposeable bits of evil....sad fact is that any stock batteries are on borrowed time from the moment we first put a carto on them...

So make em as pretty as you want....doesn't change the fact that I expect to have to throw em away and replace em in 2-3 months time..

Don't get me wrong some colors might be cool expecially for entry level and starter kits...

But if it were me I'd be looking for a mod maker and concentrate on getting a 16340 battery model and possibly an 18650 model in the smallest form factor they could manage

Drozd! You know how hard it would be to climb around at work with a chuck in my pocket? Those 808's though are great that way. I keep 4 of them all ready to go in one of those folding metal cigarette cases I lined with foam. All day use at work no problems and no bulk. But I have been thinking about a precious s, too bad that 10440 won't last all day...... So back to having some new colors and more consistent performance from the beloved 808:D

How long are these new turbos lasting?

I got my order of Turbos about two weeks ago. I immediately loaded 8 of them with various flavors, 5 of those get daily use. I have yet to wash or retire any of that initial set. I think a couple are about ready for washing, though. They're either a little dirty or slightly roasted. The rest are still going strong.

I'm with Marty on the battery thing. Size matters, I don't want to deal with a hugemongous battery all day. I'm quite happy with the runtime I get out of my 808s that work right, I'm just pissy about the lack of quality control.

Besides, I think having something that looks cigarettish makes proselytizing easier, too. I suspect people would be significantly less open to considering dumping analogs if they witnessed a big honking mod instead of something that looks relatively familiar.

I know right...I'm in the same boat and torn about that...but the truth be told...except for a handful of batteries (the 18650 size and the 16340 (CR123a) size) all the batteries we're currently using we're overstressing and killing...
currently the smallest form factors where we're not overstressing a battery is using a 3.7V AW IMR 16340 in something like a little chuck, chameleon, mini vape stack, 16340 precise..
Work wise I'm going with an eGo currently with a turbo on an adapter or standard in one of these Blue Desert Keep 2 Go Waterproof Case - 28mm x 125mm Blue with Gray Cap

and my super6 fits in that too...but none of those batteries are really optimal...though they will last all day

Don't get me wrong either I'm not for ginormous batteries either......what I am for is a battery that isn't overstressed and destined for giving up it's magic blue smoke by the very action of using it....in the smallest form factor possible

I'll try to get some short batteries made..maybe with a high quality battery we can get some decent life out of em despite a smaller size? I would love to get some top notch quality batteries like you mentioned and have been putting some thought into the best way to approach it- whether to find a manufacturer and do it from the ground up with higher quality components or find the best current e-cig batteries out there and have them built to spec. I've been decently happy with our automatics..push buttons have been a little finicky of late

yeah they work great. ive only had 2 others though. the cheapos from china that come with the generic 808 kits and the v4l premiums.. these are much better. it still is difficult to tell that its getting too low and then you get that burnt taste but i have been just keeping them topped off every 50 drags or so and no problems. ive been recomending them to all my friends.
