I cannot build anything

Trustfire 003p4

Get a different charger when you can. It's OK for now, but anything with fire in the name is known to be problematic. I recommend a nice core i4 myself. On the batteries. You'll be fine with those unless you want to go super subohming on a mech. I would also recommend some Sony vtc 4 or vtc 5. If you choose to replace the batteries.

They are a little more pricey, but look into the Luc chargers. You can adjust the amp output between .5, 1 and 1.5

yea,I got the Sony's vtc5 already,these I just got in today the amperage is just a little higher,but the mah is a little lower.

 

[USMCotaku]

Lower then the 2500 mah batteries you pictured? A vtc5 should be 2600 mah...

 

[USMCotaku]

Oh... Read that backwards

 

[USMCotaku]

Those people efest batteries do not....I repeat DO NOT have a higher continuous amperage rating then the Sony's

They are rewrapped batteries of another brand (LG if I remember correctly). Actual continuous amp rating of the purple efest is 20 amps

Not real sure if there is any truth in this but I read where sony vtc 4,5 had been out of production for some time now all you're getting are clones.

 

[USMCotaku]

Not verified. And there are ways to pick out the clones from the real ones. Reputable suppliers still provide authentic vtc's (though they are often sold out )

Thats true,seems like everything is a clone of a clone these days!

 

[USMCotaku]

Some of the issues with the vtc batteries is the vague replies Sony has given us. It would seem that they don't really like the use we are giving their batteries .
There was a video by one of the reviewers that somehow got some more definitive answers from a Sony rep that disproved many of the rumors about them discontinuing the vtc line

 

[gel drops]

I did see how to tell a clone from a real battery (sony).I got 2 vtc 5,I knew this would happen I got in on a presale for the T8 150watt box mod yes insane,there's already clones for it ,Cloupor is the real maker,never know what goes on across the water I suppose.

 

[USMCotaku]

Sounds like you have too many box mods..... You can always lessen your load by sending one my way

 

[gel drops]

stick a fork in me because I am done 30/50/150 watt box mods if thats not enough I'm in trouble,I'm going with what came with kayfun now,it's already wrapped,or pre wrapped whatever you want to call I'm going that direction tried the other not working.

 

[gel drops]

still don't taste right,dang done everything but stand on my head....start back over in the morning off to bed!

 

[USMCotaku]

Lol. Just an fyi, those premade coils are garbage

 

[USMCotaku]

If you build a reasonable coil, that the ohms check out good on, and glows from the center out, and the flavor isn't right.... The most likely culprit in that case would be your wicking.

 

[Keeferes]

One thing we have been overlooking, is your juice. Perhaps you just aren't like the true flavor of it. If moving from a clear to a Kayfun, the juice could have a completely different taste. I'll be coming into town a little later, be over on Whitehorse Rd, so if you want some help trouble shooting, just PM me and I'll meet up with ya.

That never crossed my mind that's probably half of my problem!

 

[gel drops]

kayfun, time to fill it up and try again.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry Gel Drops, didnt mean to hijack the thread.
Ive got a Fluke 175 like this one
Amazon.com: Fluke 175 ESFP True RMS Digital Multimeter, (ENG, SP, FR, POR): Home Improvement

It does seem to read about .2 high.
Ill probably just pick up a dedicated ohm meter.
