What type of 18650 batteries do you have? Iirc, some are more suitable for vaping than others. I don't know anything about flashlight batteries, so maybe those that are good for flashlights are good for vaping?

Great question. Thank you for asking.

Looking at them, I think these may not be ideal as they say 'low discharge rate' but they work great for my flashlights that can discharge them in about 30-45 minutes. They are UltraFire BRC 18650 3000mAh 3.7V li-ion.

Hmm, I don't have enough knowledge to say if those are good or not. I know I've heard many times to "stay away from bats with 'fire' in the name", but I can't remember why. I do use a trustfire charger and have had no problems with it.

Mine seem to last a lot longer than my aw IMRs, granted they are a bit newer and do take a lot longer to charge.

I am merely sticking to ProVari recommendations with mine. I always follow manufacturers recommendations for batteries without exception.

Avoid any batteries with the name "Fire" in them. For the Vamo you need HIGH DRAIN UNPROTECTED batteries. I also use the FT Panasonics in my Vamo- 2250 and 3400 mah.

There was a suggestion made that your delivery device can easily change the way you vape. This statement is very very true. I've been happy for the last two years with ego batteries and DCAs and mixing my own juice. I'm just now trying out the BCCs, rebuilding and VV. I still have never even been to a B&M shop. Made my first pre-made juice order in years this last week from MBV and i'm really enjoying there stuff. I say all of this to caution you to really read the advice here and think about what new type of habbit or hobby you want this to be for you. Its easy to go overboard if you want to try everything.

I second and third the shipping times from FastTech, but will also add that depending on shipping method chosen it can take as little as 3-4 dyas up to and longer than a month. Shipping from China /Hong Kong is so variable as the Chinese postal system is not known for it's predictability.

Thanks everyone! Great crew here for sure; all good experiences in the forums and I'm very glad that I came across the site. With the encouragement of the members and my beautiful wife, I'm currently on my third day with no analogs at all. Other than a little gas and some constipation, I'm feeling better than I have in years already after only a few days. YAY!
