It calls for the deeming regs on ecigs to remain, as instituted on 8-8-16, with new regs possibly coming out in 2022. Of course the illegal importation of ecig devices designed after 8-8-16 won't stop coming in to the USA, after all, we can't risk damaging our trade agreements with our Asian partners now can we?:rolleyes:

I find Moilin Berry & Inawera do that to my coils :(
I have this "Big Pineapple " from Molin Berry & a few tanks my wicks are Black :(
It's such a nice flavour, must be full of Sugar, cause I only mix it at 7%
If I use Flavour art, TPA, or even Flavour West my coils stay clean a lot! longer :)
I'm pretty sure with Inawera, FA, TPA its just sucralose doing that. FW is the one with actual corn syrup and real sugar & whatnot. Ofc. I'm pretty sure not all of their flavors are like that, but a few of the ones I really like are.

I've tried to limit my use of yellow cake but it's just so good, same with diketone-containing flavors, personally I find diketones delicious.

Just anotner silly case mod style mod trying to appeal to 16 yo gamers.....
Idk I haven't seen tower cases with roll bars since maybe the 90's... Maybe it's trying to be appealing to 30y/o gamers like me [emoji28]

Consider this, you squonk-hating peasants, (lol) what kind of application does TC get the most beneficial use? that's right, squonking. Hate it or love it but can't deny squonking is like, a perfect application for TC.

My friend and I make the same juice except he uses TPA sweet flavor (sucrose) and I use TPA cotton candy....for the sweetener.
His coils look like crap in a couple of days and I can get upwards of 100 ml out of mine and it never looks as bad as his.
Same coil (I do his coils), same temp/wattage/preheat, same atty, same mod.

Thoughts on this? Amazon.com: Nitecore SC4 Superb Charger Speedy Charger for 18650 17650 17670 RCR123A 16340 14500 Batteries w/ LumenTac Keychain Light: Home Audio & Theater


I have 20700's & 26650's in rotation now, they take for ever! to charge with my D4 :(
But is 3 amps too much? Whats the down side to charging an 18650 in 90 minutes as compared to several hours?
Sweeeeet!

:D

I had one in the cart & about to pay but had to check myself, I need to just wait for the dna75c/20700 squankers before I get all impulsive.

I got 2 of them :) still waiting for the other one. Glad I did it's a sweet little BF'er.
Just a bit plain & boxy looking.

I wont even charge my 18650's at 1Amp - well except that one time i forgot to charge anythign that week and ran out and needed one in desperation. I leave them to charge at 0.5Amp and just have enough to rotate that the 5-6 hour charge time isnt an issue....

Im aware that some newer batteries 26650's etc can be charged at higher Amps, but i personally wouldnt.

Ive kinda covered Nitecores contradictory marketing blurbs before elsewhere, but they often have a bullet point about fast charging in the main ad, but sometimes fineprint that you shouldnt really charge 18650's and the like above 1Amp, cant find that on this one though. A good charger isnt one that lets you charge an 18650 at even 2Amp's imho.

Someone on my home forum posted this this morning: Lithium-Ion Battery Inventor Introduces Fast-Charging, Noncombustible Batteries - Cockrell School of Engineering

This paragraph (from the above link), above the already much held view that charging too rapidly shortens cell life, springs to mind:

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes to transport the lithium ions between the anode (the negative side of the battery) and the cathode (the positive side of the battery). If a battery cell is charged too quickly, it can cause dendrites or “metal whiskers” to form and cross through the liquid electrolytes, causing a short circuit that can lead to explosions and fires. Instead of liquid electrolytes, the researchers rely on glass electrolytes that enable the use of an alkali-metal anode without the formation of dendrites.

Also this nonsense about "battery restoration" needs to disappear from all vendors charger marketing, if you put a battery that has been overly fully discharged in and it doesnt register and start to charge as normal, throw it away...sheesh, theres enough damage done to vapers by 'sploding batteries due to poor storage/use - user error....dont need chargers contributing to the mix by promising to magically restore a battery that is exhibiting signs of being faulty....
