oh and I see you all with #'s ...how do I know what
number this is?...

Look at the post inside the tank and then tell us what number you got!
So... do you notice a flavor difference? If you don't yet, you will when it really starts chugging! It's funny how excited I am for new Zenfidels! I guess it's because I know they are in for an amazing vape! Oh - and Violet, you are doing great. Some people struggle with them at first and some just "get it" and never have an issue. Sounds like you're a "just get it" person and that rocks for you!

reason why gorilla works better is it is thinner.... you can add a few drops of water or pga(i suggest water) to your tank and it will wick much much better and it doesnt affect flavor or vapor much if at all
Distilled water right?
After hearing awful things about tap water in nettie pots, it might be prudent to be remindful of DISTILLED water for all our vapors.

and then he goes and makes the BAM.....so much for not having to buy a whole new APV!!! It's a good thing that the diamond wasn't a ruby cause then I would have to sell my children for one.

Coming soon, actually...

#56????? Wow, yours must have taken a while to get there.

Not really... I didn't ship them in order... they were all over the map... I still have some PV's with serials under 10!

I mix them in as I ship so some people get lower numbers... just for fun!

AND...

It fits right onto a Buzz and BuzzPro...

AND...

It fits AMAZINGLY nice on the Precise Plus with the sloped cap... the U works best on the flat top...
::: cartwheels ::: because a purple BP is still on my must have list and the ZAP is perfect! I hope to have both sometime next year. (it took me 2 years to get a purple Reo, lol, so panning for next year isn't really stretching it).

The ZAU is perfect for my other mods (LT, SB, etc) and can't wait to finally have it in my arsenal. (will be great for out and about the pasture) as well as having two different flavors ready to go at any time. Eventually I'll also have a ZM in my collection, but my Z's are not allowed outdoors yet... if ever.

You may want to switch charger, if they're coming off at 4.25v they're not gonna stay happy for very long.

I checked 4 of 18350 AW IMR and they all seem to come off at 4.24-4.26!

I use a XTAR MP2 USB Mini charger made specifically for this battery! (mini charger for the mini made sense to me for portability)

Any thoughts on whether switching it from 3.7V to 3.0V would help prevent this or would just lengthen the time it charges and end up at the same place or stop charging prematurely because it should never get near 4.2 if it's charging a 3V battery? (This charger can also charge 3V-CR123 batteries)

Apparently the AW IMR are lower resistance and this is why certain chargers slightly overcharge these batteries because they expect a smaller load.
So what's an easy way to add a little of resistance to the battery terminal to convince the charger to shut off earlier?
There's no space in this little thing (see pict) to add a resistor, but maybe somebody knows a trick to get around this?

Now I am concerned that 6Bay Xtar-WPII6 is likely doing the same thing. :ohmy:This really pisses me off...If you only sell IMR batteries & chargers for them, you would think you would make sure they are okay to use with the only brand of battery you sell, but that's just me blaming external forces for my lack of due diligence and at least I am cognizant of this fact while still typing it out anyway!

18350 AW IMR 700MAH
Attention : These IMR cells have much lower internal resistance than regular LiIon 3.7V cells and they may end up with a higher ending voltage when charged in certain chargers ( especially older version WF-139 charger ). Please check the voltage of them right out of the charger to see if they are above 4.20V when fully charged with your charger. Overcharging above 4.25V may shorten life/cycles. Above 4.50V may even pop them or making them leak. DO NOT use the charger if it seems to overcharge IMR cells.

that is why I only use Pila chargers. And when they come of the charger don't put them in my mods right away and I check there voltage before using them and I deduct the internal resistance from my multimeter and then they always read 4.20V on the dot.
