Do any vendors have Smoktech e-Power 14650 kits in stock right now?

[John D in CT]

I'm buying a ton of stuff tomorrow for friends who want to start vaping, and that's my power unit of choice. If I can't find it in stock, I'll have to start them out on eGo-C's. That wouldn't be a tragedy, but the e-Power will let me give out a single power unit with multiple batteries just so they can get started.

Yes, I know there's better stuff out there, but I need cheap, reliable, bare-bones stuff to start people with, many of whom have no money to speak of. I just want to get as many power units, cartos, clearos, drip atty's, and drip tips as I can and spread them around as far as possible.

TIA, and vape on.

CCV has the kits in stock.

CCV has the kits in stock.

Thanks, I'll call them (Crystal Clear Vaping) tomorrow. One small snag - it looks as if you can get any color you want, as long as it's stainless. Good to know someone has them at all, but I did want black.

Does anyone know any other vendors who have them in stock?

Ba-dump-bump. Still looking.

Anyone?

Thanks cw. I just scoured his site again but I can't find any mention at all of the 14650 e-Power. I think I could buy it in pieces, but no kits that I can see.

However, he does have a rockin' deal of full eGo-C starter kits for $51.95. I think I'll just end up grabbing about 5 of them for my friends.

OK, color me embarrassed. Duh. It's dawning on me that despite their blatant use of the term eGo-C, the $51.95 kit is a Smoktech product, and not Joyetech. Makes sense, when you consider that the site is "smoktech.com."

Somewhat misleading, but I should have picked up on that right away.

I would look at these two:

E-Power (they also sell AW batteries!!!)

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - EGO E-Power

You sure are a nice friend, but I dont think your dog likes me very much.

I imagine that 5v e-power kit from liberty-flights.com would give a really nice vape with 2-3ohm cartos. And it's in stock.

I would def get the Epower from Sweet-Vapes. They have the best deal and sell it for only $41.95.

And their kit comes with the newest switch that is rated for 1.5ohm and up AND has the 5-click on off feature. They also let you pick your choice of cartos or you can get the regular kit that comes with 2 attys. And now they offer a new option where you can get the regular 1050mah batteries or IMR "high-drain" 950mah batteries.

CCVs kit comes with the older blue LED switches that don't have the on/off feature.

I have an Epower and love it. The newest switch works really well and the 1.7ohm Ressurector cartos give an awesome vape on the Epower. They are all I use in Smoktech 3.5ml tanks.

 

[mynameisrob]

Oh and by the way, Smoktech (who makes the Epower) and Smoktek are not the same and are not related in any way.

Smoktek is just a regular vendor like CCV, Sweet-vapes, etc etc.
Smoktech is a manufacturer who makes the Epower, Bolt, tons of different cartos like the Ressurectors and dual coils, Smoktech 3.5ml and 6ml tanks, and a variety of other things.

wv, sweet-vapes looks like a winner! I could have sworn they were out of stock, or maybe they just got some in - in any case, I think I'm set - thanks!

Quick questions please -

Do I want the quick-drain 950mah, or protected 1050mah batteries?
It comes with many options for attys, but I'm thinking of getting the 5 Boge 2.0's. Good choice? (I'm also getting a wide assortment of eGo-C attys and tanks, clearos, big tanks, eMDCC's, DCT's, Vision ego's, the works - but is 2.0 the best ohms?
What's the deal with AW batteries? (Who makes them, what makes them good) ....

Thanks again! (And sorry about our rocky start)

You sure are a nice friend, but I dont think your dog likes me very much.

LOL - First, they're going to be reimbursing me, since the winning Megamillions numbers eluded me yet again.

Second, and fortunately, that's not my dog

I saw that, and I'm probably going to give that a try just for myself at first. If I don't blow myself up with the stacked batteries, I might make it a recommendation. )

And I am looking forward to seeing what vaping at higher voltages is all about, maybe starting with Boge 3.0's and experimenting from there - cooler vape, maybe better flavor? (And yes, there is a ProVari in my future).

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I didn't realize the 5v one uses stacked batteries. I haven't heard of anything catastrophic happening with them, but from what I've read, using a single battery is always gonna be safer. Vaping at higher voltages is excellent, you can dial in your voltage to where your juice tastes best for you, and generally you'll be getting warmer and thicker vapor.

Excellent stuff Rob, thanks. Your posts are consistently informative and very helpful (so don't think it's going unnoticed)

I saw that about the switches - that they're just the ones I wanted - and am having a hard time adjusting to the apparent fact that I can actually buy what I was looking for. Love this site [ECF].

What do you think about getting the 5 Boge 2.0's as my carto option? They list a 1.7 single coil, but I'm not sure of it's the Ressurector that I keep hearing so much about.

And which battery option would you go with?

Thanks!

 

[knivesout]

I used the 1.7 ohms (resurrector) and they were the best cartos for the e-power IMO. The 2.0 ohms should be pretty similar, with a little cooler and "thinner" vapor than the 1.7s.

As long as you use protected and good batteries, stacking is fine. Most tube PV's are vented now, also and if not, it's not hard to drill a small hole in the end cap. Thousands of us have done it for years.

AW batteries hold a charge longer and are considered some of the better batteries in the battery world.

And 5 volt vaping with a 2.5 - 2.8 ohm atty/carto or better yet a dual coil carto is just head and shoulders better than 3.4 - 3.7 volt vaping. Much warmer, fuller feeling vapor.

I thought the switch with blue led was the newest version. I know I vape 1.7 resurrectors with it. It doesn't have a five click off option though.

Well, 5 minutes ago I just bought sweet-vapes last 3 14650 kits that come with 5 cartos of your choice; looks as if they still have a few (well, at least one) more 14650 kits that come with pre-filled tobacco juice attys so I'm going to (try to) buy 2 more of those.

I had a choice of either 950mah LMN (lithium manganese) high drain batteries or 1050mah Li protected, so I went with the latter.

Interestingly, their 18650, 16340, and 14500 batteries seem to be AW (red in color), but the 14650's are blue in color and say Smoketech on them, not AW. I'm hoping they're just rebadged AW's.

Quick question, and hopefully not stupid: can 2 16340 batteries be stacked in the power units I just bought to give higher voltage? (Around 6, I think?) Or maybe "yes, with a tube extender"? Or "yes, with a tube extender and a different switch"?

Also, I've seen that the (genuine Joyetech) eGo-T atomizers don't fit onto the Smoktech 14650 (but maybe with some kind of adapter)? Do (genuine Joyetech) eGo-C atomizers (+base +cone) fit right onto the Smoktech 14650 without any MacGuyvering?

Thanks all.

IIRC the new switch does have a blue LED but it also has the on/off feature. The previous switch was a white LED that didn't work with LR cartos I think.
