Yeah I wish I could just run down to Walmart or somewhere for our batteries....Then again for me that would only help if I had a Walmart here in Belize

Seriously I was at Ratshack the other day to snag some battery connectors, and the girl was like "Do you need any batteries to go with those today?" My response was "Unless you carry Ultrafire or Trustfire protected, then no, I don't need any batteries." She looked at me kinda weird then asked me what they were. Really?!? I understand these are minimum wage flunkies but come on. I ended up pulling my mod out of my back pocket and pulling out the 10440's to show her, then had to explain to her what a PV was, too bad she wasn't a smoker, might have had a convert.

Before vaping, I never considered the existance of Li-ion cells or who made them.

Good show for explaining, but it's asking a bit to expect Joe or Joan Q Public to know about lithium cells no?

I remember being really excited about lithium ion for cell phones. I also remember the owner of the local Radio Shack being really knowledgeable about electronics... now their DIY electronics section is just a dusty corner behind the cheap consumer electronics. :)

Look at you living high on the hog, my local Ratshack doesn't even give DIY a corner, we get half a corner, the other half has equipment for remote mounting speakers and audio equipment.

Ok, well I surely can't quit my day job to become a photographer, and besides, photography is another expensive hobby. :)

Batteries here, and 6v @3.2ohm hits like a train.

EDIT: slightly better picture. Still a lousy shot, but at least does this excellent looking unit *some* justice. :)
