21700 Samsung INR21700-30T 3000mAh High Discharge Flat Top
Looked to be reasonable price so I bought 2, $19 total shipped.
Edit: Wrong, it was $20.39, I didn't realize they are in California. Had to pay sales tax, I avoid that usually.

I have two of those 30T. I thought I would find a use for them, but no. What are you going to use them for?

I took one from one of my Topsides, my Anita needs one, spares. I currently only have 2
Perhaps your wondering why not 40T's
Anita has been reduced to a 21700 battery charger, not much good for anything but leaking.
I know now why it came with the door that has no squonk hole.

 

[dwcraig1]

@BillW50 , so what cells are you using in your Topsides?

 

[BillW50]

Well I never seem to go over 50 watts, so Sanyo 20700b can handle that and has high capacity. So they last a long time.

 

[dwcraig1]

I do a similar choice with 18650's, LG HD2's or Samsung 20S.
My thinking is there isn't going to be much difference in capacity when run hard between a high amp vs high mah.

I had a pretty good scare a little bit ago. I attempted to do the thermals on my DNA75C.
I ran out of time, had to go to work, so I stopped it. It was then that I found the board dead.
Removed the battery and put it back in and all was well again.
There was something not right about what I was doing anyway. It said it was charging at 1 amp.
I know for a fact that the cable that I was using doesn't even carry 0.5 amp.
I'll try here at work when the batt get down a little more.

Um... guess what? They will pull more power than most devices will for the most part. I bet that low amp cable, the USB voltage at the 75C was probably pulling down to 4.5v or more. Like this laptop I am on right now. The previous record for amps off of one USB port was with my USB TV tuner and it pulls 800ma. Everything else pulls 500ma or less. But a 75C/250C and even a dna Go will pull 800ma to 1A off of these ports.

I even have this super thin USB cable that is hard to even pull 500ma through it. But I like it since it is so flexible, light, etc. It doesn't sport data though, but that is okay. And a 250C will pull over 1A with that same cable. So if the DNA75C/250C/dna Go says it is drawing high current and you don't believe it. Well you better since odds are good that it is.

 

[dwcraig1]

I'm sure the cable I used is crappy.

 

[BillW50]

But don't be surprised. They will pull power from crappy cables were the non-Cs won't. Well I have one DNA250 mod I bought for collecting and I don't know what that one does when charging.

Happy New Years everyone.

When I got home I discovered that it seems the "Auto-SSL" didnt kick in 2 days ago like it should have. So none of my websites are working right now. This means photos I posted from my personal album may not be visible until they get it fixed. Trouble Ticket was submitted and it should be resolved by midnight.

The joys of modern tech.......

 

[dwcraig1]

The last couple of days I've been having some inconsistencies with the ohm "stability", after comparing ohm readings using various atomizers on various DNA mods I narrowed it down to the atty that I was using. I spent so much time checking this that when I found the problem child I didn't feel like fixing it, I just used a different atty.
Then I posted my thermal settings and mod resistance on Vicious Ants Facebook page, no mention of how lazy that I think they were for not setting them.

dwcraig1 How's that Ant performing now? Is that your only Color board?

Just fine and yes it's my only C board at the moment. I didn't realize before getting it just how small that screen is.
