Evolv-ing Thread

I was a little apprehensive because of the 16 amps, I'v allways run VTC5's at 20 amps & now the IJOY 20700 at 30 amps.
But I have read many good things about the sanyo 20700b.
It wasn't easy to find a source with reasonable shipping rates to Canada either
The 4 I bought should arrive tomorrow I'm looking forward to the extended battery life
I plan on using them with 4 mod/ atty combos that run single simple round wire coils, So the 16 amp rating shouldn't be a problem in that kind of mod/ atty combo
Thanks for the endorsement, means a lot comming from you

I grabbed mine from Illumn, great supplier and ships to Canada for cheap.

Well now I'm wide awake, at 1 AM, ugh...... Been out of it all day. Just read it's dropping down to 30F tonight..... The clock is ticking, got a ton done the last two weeks but still work left to be done and my spine is yelling, enough already! The last round of steroids has now worn off and my back has been giving me fits the last few days, this morning I woke with my neck killing me. Today was the worst day I've ever had with the pinched nerves in my neck, I spent the day with a heating pad wrapped around my neck and one behind my neck in zombie land from the pain pills. Tomorrow and the rest of the week it will be sunny, got to get the last gutter up, the rest of top soil moved and the rest of the gravel in the driveway the the heavy jobs will be done. Please Lord push me through the last of the tasks, I promise I'll rest once the snow falls.....

Saturday night my daughter told me the plastic fender liner on their car was loose and rubbing on the tire, asked me if I would look at it with her hubby. Sunday noon I called the son in law and told him to bring it over while I was still outside and before my back gives out so I could look at it with him. Five hours later I went to get a load of mulch, when I got home there was their car stilling in front of the garage with the keys in it. One quick look and I see some of the plastic clips that hold the liner are broken and missing. Something I know he could fix himself but it's easier to drop it off at dad's, go back home, have his micro brew beer, pizza & wings while watching the games on his 60 inch TV, after all it was Sunday, a day of rest. He could have used my shop and had it done in a half hour at most, could have done it before I got back with the mulch, but then again it was game day...... The car is going to sit right there, I'm not touching it.

Just ran across these, anyone know if they are any good? E-Fan 20700 4300mAh IMR Battery - Accessories

ETA: Can I charge 20700's off the DNA 75 boards? I have those two hana 30 clones I put the 75's in, I'm going to mod them so the 20700 will fit. Probably will just leave them in the mod and charge them with the board, if I it's OK.

We only got down to 36, Willie, but I saw frost on the roof tops when I was out walking Leo. A little too nippy for shorts now.

The 75, or for that matter the 200, 250 or 75C, will all charge a 2XXXX battery with no problem. Their charger chips are "smart" chips and don't put out enough current to damage any of the cells we use for vaping, unless there's a catastrophic failure on the board, but there's a fuse for that as a fail safe.

Edit: Keep in mind for the 200 or 250 the appropriate battery configuration of two or three cells in series would be needed, but they would charge, and be balanced, properly.

Cool, Thanks guys. I assumed so but you know what happens when you assume.....

I'd really wait until mooch tests those sketchy looking, overrated E-Fan batteries.

I'd be skeptical because AFAIK LiMn2O4 (IMR)chemistry can't store that kind of energy density.

 

[SlickWilly]

Thanks guys, that's what I was looking for, honest feedback be it good or bad.

ETA: I thought that was a lot of mah, that's why I asked.

Looks like I got myself a winner, still waiting on it!

Finally got to go to the Chinese Lantern Festival last Sunday.

They were awesome. All life sized and often much bigger than life, some were 40 ft tall. They were made from a framework that was like the lead in a stained glass window, and the panels were rayon fabric.

And Steamer, if you dont believe me, here are 100+ photos, the thumbnails are not that great but if you click them the full size photos came out OK:

Sorry Slick, just took my GF to have surgery on the nerves in her neck. They used some sort of RF device to go an burn the ends of the nerves so they wont transmit pain signals. Too early to know if it worked or not. She is still in a lot of pain from the procedure itself.

My take away from the videos....

1. 250C before Christmas

2. Evolv will start to make complete mods

3. Their mod will not be 510 based

4. They still believe in an open system, but a pod system is not out of the question

5. I think they will try for a TC ONLY system

Question: Do we think it's possible for a board to sense the wire type? Would a controlled application of power with a measurement of change in resistance result in an accurate detection of wire material?

The addition of a temp sensor would be awesome!

Correct on all points, however on #4 they dont think an open system will fly. They are looking at a POD system that is refillable.

Probably possible to sense wire, but I have heard whispering of a chip inside the POD that sets the parameters for the mod, ie you could have different pods with types of coils and the chip tells the mod what the wire type and max temp is. Not sure how that would compensate for different juices though, unless they just went with a worst case scenario and assumed 100% VG.

Wow, those are amazing, I've never seen anything like those before! I thought they would be like this.

So..... What the main event coming next Sunday at 9 PM?
