I can't remember, have any of you who got the Whit E Octopus tried them yet? (maybe cranky and firephly?) I need a new vendor to order from to spice things up a bit. What's new and happening out there?

I have some but I haven't tried it yet. It's in the steep box. I will try some in my REO later today and let you know.

I hate the postal service. Reordered 2 bottles of gr cause I was down to my last bit, in plenty of time to get to me before I had to head back out. Shipped 2 day priority mail from CT to GA. So what does the PO do? They send it to a sort facility in SF and let it sit for 2 days. Then they send it to Ohio where its been sitting for a day and a half. Now I'm back on the road, :mad:with only half a Reo bottle left of my favorite juice. Arrgghh!!!!

I got your package. Thank you so much. I didn't expect the little extras... But now that I have your address, I hope you know that I have to send you back a little something now.

Lotta chatter over the last day about batteries.

AW DOES NOT produce a flat top 18650. If you have one it is a "Fake".
90% of the AW 18650 button top batteries are also "Fakes". If you bought one off ebay, and it wasn't from Wonderlite (one of only a few that import genuine AW's), it is most likely a fake.

Photo below has a fake at the bottom, and a current genuine at the top.
A fake AW many times has a similar sticker as a genuine.
AW previously used a black background on the sticker, with a silver border and silver letters. But, companies started faking this sticker.
My most recent genuine AW's have a silver background with black letters (top battery in photo)

As for batteries in general. For flat top 18650's I HIGHLY recommend the Sony VTC5. It's the best battery out there for mech mods. True 30amp, and 2600mah capacity. It is a great battery for "Any" build.

For Mod's requiring an 18650 button top, these are usually going on regulated mods, so thought the genuine AW 18650 is going to be the best battery for the mod, there are many other batteries that will perform. Almost all batteries are made at the same factory in China, and that includes: Sony, MKE, Orbtronics, Panasonic, eFest, etc. etc. etc.

For 18350 flat top's (For Mech Mods), I recommend the purple eFest 700mah 10amp battery. This battery will fire safely down to a .5 Ohm build.

I haven't personally used Orbtronics, but have heard good things about their batteries also. The 35amp (supposed) eFest Purple 18650's, didn't rate out as high as eFest is touting them. And I have heard of one instance from someone I personally know, that had one vent on him. (Though it was a very low sub Ohm build).

Apparently they don't know the difference between Cleveland Ohio and Georgia. USPS sucks

It's sad how many fake things are out there... But fake or not, my AW red battery has been kicking it with me for years now. It's the longest battery I've had (knock on wood) and still trucking along.

You're welcome. I figured those 0mg samples should go to someone who will appreciate them :)

Not necessary for you to send anything. That's not why I did it.

Let me know how the koh gen do works for you.

KOH is an abbreviation for a bar here and my phone automatically capitalized it. I think I've text that too many times. :p

TVR has a B&M there in MD Jenna. Cumberland MD. They got some awesome flavors like S'mores, Celtic Coffee, Banana Split, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Strawberry Cheesecake to name a few. Really great juices I use them still.
Flavor Descriptions!
Their 15ml are on sale $7 each. ;)
