Hey, I just got a geekvape t200 touch kit, but I can't get batteries in town, and the ones I ordered won't be here for almost another month, is there any way I'm able to use this without the required 18650 batteries? Any help is appreciate
They usually require a live battery to operate though. There used to be usb 510 connectors with no battery at all that just ran off usb 5v. Haven’t seen one in a long time though. I really quite liked them.What part of the world are you in? If you're in the United States, you can get there in a day or two.
You probably have at least a dozen 18650s in your home without knowing it. Not telling you anymore least you go boom!!!You can't sub out an 18650 with an AA.
There used to be a few mods that had USB ports on them that worked when plugged in. Dont know on that one.
Welcome and glad you joined.Hey,
Not one AA no. AAs are ~1.5v. But if you do 3 you get 4.5 which is only a bit higher than 4.2. Like I said it will stick out. AAs I think are 2 to 0 whereas lithiums are 4.2-2.5. You may get 4.2-3 depending on where the mod cuts out. Using alkalines won’t stop it from cutting out though. Rechargeable AAs are often ~1.2 which is why some stuff designed for alkaline won’t run on them. 3 rechargable AAs works pretty well.What part of the world are you in?

im not saying the alkalines will last terribly long. They tend to have a high ma rating but if it’s tested to zero it won’t matter. My suspicion is 3 AAs will have about the same number of usable mas as 1 18650. Im not sure though. There is a reason non rechargeable batteries aren’t seen in things besides disposables. Even some disposables have lithium batteries which I think is terribly bad practice. All lithium batteries that aren’t recycled eventually catch fire. It might take 500 years, but they’ll do it. Recycling lithium batteries is critical.18650s can supply a bunch of current. LOL like I said most people have 18650s in their homes.
I would avoid both of those if possible. counterfeits are too easy to do. @Mooch does a list of good sources.The poster can buy 18650s on Amazon or eBay. Dont know about waiting for weeks.
"Speaking of lithium, I read today that a huge lithium deposit in Arkansas may have been discovered. The question is whether or not they can mine it easily.
They've created many alternatives to lithium batteries. I think the only thing holding them back is that people have invested so much money in lithium. They want a return before new technologies are implemented. Its like the oil industry. The value of many oil companies is based upon reserves in the ground. I know of a battery that can run a laptop for 10 years on one charge. All that stuff is still in the proof of concept phase.
Lithium is bad for many reasons --

Then many vape stores risk having counterfeit batteries. Try lion wholesale if nothing else it’s a mooch reccoendation from like ten years ago. It’s a wholesale place with a minimum order of one, so you can just buy stuff. And afaik all the stuff they have actually came from the manufacturer and it is what it says it is.
Cheapest company I know of is flavorwest. They do candy flavorings. The problem with them is they DON’T pay attention to the oil thing because their flavorings are made for candy, so you can’t buy anything from them that could have an oil in it. No citrus, no mixed flavors, no buttery stuff. And even then it’s best to do a paper chromatography test to make sure. It’s so cheap that the juice used isn’t much. They will happily sell you cinnamon red hot or butterfinger flavorings. DO NOT VAPE THEM.They're in business to make money. I only buy vape stuff once every three or five years. Next time I'm buying, it's going to be for making DIY juice, and that's it. I buy a lot of used products, as well as new ones to trade later on. I have alternate sources for cotton and wire. I honestly don't expect vaping to be a "thing" in 3 to 5 years from now. I would take a look at how few messages there are here from the past few years, versus 5 or 6 years ago. Go back to 2016 or 2017 versus now.
