I had a hard time hearing the audio on the mounting video. Is that just how it is? The others are much better.
That's because there's no "voice" to the video. AFAIK, he doesn't say a word in it, but if there's part of it you're not clear on, just ask 
LOL then you are more deaf than I am.That's because there's no "voice" to the video. AFAIK, he doesn't say a word in it, but if there's part of it you're not clear on, just ask
I just had to turn both the YT volume and my PC volume to max and turn my office radio off. There is "voice"..it's just not as loud as the others.
Some questions about batteries please.
1. Approximately how long can you vape on a 18650 battery?
2. How far can you safely run a battery down to before it needs charging?
3. How do you check, put it on the meter?
4. Will it suffice to pop the battery into the provari to check and see how far down the battery is?
5.If you are done for the day, is it ok to pop that battery out no matter where it is at, put in a new one for the morning, and charge the one you had in there?

1. Depends on the ohm of your coil, how long your hits are, and if you chain vape or not. Some get a full day others only half. I typically put in a fresh in the morning and change late afternoon.
2. Going to low shortens it's life most battery specs say don't go below 2.5. We typically don't like to go below 3.5 and most notice a drop in performance below 3.7
3. Yes some form of volt meter. My charger has a voltage display so I use that.
4. Not sure if the Provari shows voltage readings, if it does great. If it only shows bars that so good since most regulated devices drain batteries below the level we like.
5. Yes you can swap and charge at any time.
LOL then you are more deaf than I am.
I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about Robert's video on rebuilding an RM2 Duh!
Another battery question please. How long do you use the same batteries before you feel they should just be replaced altogether? 6 months, a year??
I'm still using the ones I bought in 2011, but I have 15 of them in rotation (a week's worth if the power goes out). So I guess it depends on how many you have in your rotation, but I'd think at LEAST 18-24 months.
I hope you will cherish it.I want to try it before it leaves here...but I won't.
I may marry it!
Exactly, how heavily used are they? I've got 18 batteries for 8 mods. As a battery ages, gets used and recharged it's internal resistance climbs over time. This climb in resistance raises the voltage drop in the battery under load. This increase in voltage drop lowers the power actually being delivered to the coil. The lower the ohm coil you run the more noticeable this will be.
Many people wait until the battery wont' hold a charge, but to me it's way past it prime for vaping by then. When a brand new battery hits harder on a fresh charge than the older one, it's time to change. I find I get 9 to 12 months. I don't buy my batteries all at once, I've bought 2 to 4 every few months, so it's now a regular cycle.
The older ones that still hold a charge get used in flashlites that run on 18650 batteries instead of my Reos.

Thank you FB. That is what I needed to know. I figured batteries are not expensive. Might as well replace them on occasion just to be on the safe side.
Haha! Will get her safely on the way to you today my friend.I may marry it!
