I have been holding on to the ones that I have for SB and OMEGA building. I have more on the way, should have shipped today. Will be next week 
Cool. I have a SB and an Omega. One has the hot spring, the other does not. The difference without it is HUGE, so as soon as they come in, I'll be getting a couple. Thanks for the info.
Omega Batt question
I guess what I am looking for is the do use/don't use batts in the omega.....I know 18650 2400mAh(i think) is what is initially recommended, but are there no no's for higher volt? (that's kinda the do/don't type things I am looking for). TIA

We do not rtecommend stacking batteries in any device. If you do it is at your own risk
other than that....there are no other restrictions (for lack of another term
)?

I'm not an expert at anything.
I have stayed at Holiday Inns in the past.
The device itself (spring and switch and contacts, etc.) will handle whatever voltage or amperage you might concievably use for vaping.
I think you want to keep total battery length about 68 to maybe 70 mm max. You don't want to have the spring completely compressed. If you get defective batteries or use unprotected batteries and have an unfortunate incident like a dead short you want that spring to melt like a physical fuse. If it's completely squashed flat in there that won't happen. Unlikely situation, but...
I believe some batteries are capable of exploding without generating enough current to melt a spring?
My advice is use quality, protected batteries. If not protected, then use "safe" chemistries -- they can still vent, but less violently and mostly without flames.
Whatever you can think of using, under normal operation, will not harm the device.
hope that helps

Yes Quick it does....thank you very much!
Edit: One more quick question if anyone knows....can the 18650 batts be charged on a charger that came with a 905 kit....the batts it uses are the 14500??

It will not fit in the charger
i have a quick question and maybe its in another thread but i didnt see it. what is the typical oHm atty for an omega running 18650 battery? i normally vape AVE bobas and most
of the juices i prefer are VG like JC red oak series. any suggestions or personal favorites for a good atty combo for these type juice blends? im ordering an omega soon and need to pick out the right attys for the juices i have...

I have a quick question. Just received my Silver Bullet today, thanks! I've got my 2 18650 2600mah batteries on charge with the Trustfire TR-001 charger I purchased with the Bullet. The batteries have been charging for the last 4 hours. Is this typical for new batteries? How long do the batteries need to charge? I don't have a multi-meter or I'd check the current charging voltage. Just don't want to overcharge the batteries.
Thanks
Thanks

Look on the label on the charger. I think those only charge at about 450 mA? If those batteries came with a low charge it could take a while.
The output on the bottom of the charger shows 4.2v @ 500ma. I'm almost at 6 hours now, I guess I'll just wait until the light turns green. Thanks for the help
6 hours is too long... I don't think those chargers gradually drop the current as it approaches fully charged. I think they likely just charge at 500mA until done. Do the batteries feel just slightly warm?
They both turned green about 5 minutes ago and I'm happily vaping with my Bullet. They were not warm at all. I checked them a number of times. I did a little research on this charger and it's reported to drop the charge rate as the batteries near fully charged. It's also reported to overcharge the batteries a little. At this point, I'm just happy that the charger completed the cycle.
Good deal. Yes, if it drops the charge rate towards the end then it would take longer. Otherwise you can just roughly figure 2600/500 hours if they're completely depleted. Usually they're never completely down the 2600mA and usually they don't really have quite that capacity either. Anyway, enjoy
Batteries are normally shipped at thier nominal voltage of 3.7V, it is the most stable voltage for the chemistry. 6 Hours is not unheard of for the 2600mAh. Also that 500mA rating for that charger is total so if you were charging both batteries at once it could have easily tasken that long when charging @250mAh
It it possible or not advisable to use standard anti-seize compound on the threads instead of Noalox? I have a ton of anti-seize laying around in my toolbox and don't really need another bottle of stuff hanging around if I can avoid it?

As long as it's good for aluminum. You could always just go without until (if ever) you start having problems. Aluminum will oxidize a bit. On the other hand these are pretty heavy duty threads and very well cut.
