I just thought the slowness was due to frequent design updates. lol Seriously though, I wondered why it was slow of late. I've had no issues ordering but page loads were crazy slow. On some page loads I get an epileptic seizure inducing flashing screen before it loads. Maybe you should place a seizure warning on the site. lol I hope you get it worked out though. Hosting companies can be a PITA. Fortunately mine has been very good to me.

What is wrong with your website ?? Trying to order and won't let me check out.I don't know what the issue is ,but &%#@ this is about the slowest website I've seen! Your product is great,but you site sure does make it hard to try to order!!
He's having some issues on the server side. The hosting company is getting overloaded but they're working on the problem. The hosting company said to expect some downtime today while they switch the site over to a less strained server.
Seems to be working now enough I could place an order,unfortunately it's still a very slow website.
Hiyas Isaac!
I just wanted to make you aware of something I ran into. If you remember I had ordered a few mini 801's and some 801 fusion the other day. You emailed me to let me know that you were out of the 801 fusions and asked what I wanted to do about it.
I told you just to send me whatever lower resistance stuff you had and that would be fine.
You sent some 510 cartomizers with a silver connector that measure around 2.5 ohm give or take a few tenths. The reason I'm writing because these cartomizers have a strong chemical smell about them and once filled that smell translates into a bad chemical taste.
I soaked them in isopropyl alcohol and let them dry and they are usable now. I just wanted to make you aware of this as I know you like your products to be top shelf.

Whoa! The Platinum V1 gave off a chemical taste? That doesn't make sense at all as they have no primer in them whats so ever. However they are sealed in packaging that hinders individual testing. How many did you come across that is acting this way. truth be told, this is the very instance ever. I sent you these as a replacement because the Fusion is a direct run off of the Platinum. Would you mind sending these back for inspection and then you have choice Sorrid. Would you like to hang back for the 801 Fusion to come in or would you like more 510 Platinums? I assure you this has to be a fluke. The 801-510 adapter is yours to keep regardless.
Soaking cartomizers in alcohol is something that you don't want to do with them as the filling environment can get heavily damaged as well as deterioration to the wiring. the wiring damage will come over time of excessive maintenance. Both of these elements are crucial to the units performance. A good practice is just flushing them with water (not boiling). Distilled water is recommended to avoid nutrients, but I used faucet just as fine.
I wish WWay was here. She is an absolute Cartomizer guru
I'm sorry Isaac I soaked and flushed them all already. They are drying and I don't think you would be able to smell it anymore.
Once I noticed the first smelling really odd I checked the other four and since they were the same I went ahead soaked/flushed them too. I would be glad to send them back if you still want them.
The smell/taste wasn't like primer fluid it was something different. Hard to describe. The smell was kinda acrid as was the taste. It wasn't overpowering or anything but definitely noticeable and quite yucky.
I wish I hadn't had done anything until I talked to you so you could have seen/smelled for yourself.
I only ordered the 801 fusions for giggles. To be honest Cisco's LR atties and your wonderful atties turned me into a full time dripper lol.
Please don't worry about sending anything else. I just wanted to make you aware of what I stumbled across.
Oh yeah, I don't usually bother cleaning cartos but I wanted to see if I could get rid of that smell.

Speaking of WWay, any news Isaac? I miss her
Me too... I really hope she's doing well.
i been meaning to write her back, but with the craziness of December..well you know.
Last message I got from her was OCT 30th. Where she said she was doing better.
She also said that she doesn't mind about folks knowing whats happening. After numerous visits from different Doctors, they all agree that it's Fibromyalgia.
I really need to get on with her
The great news is that she has so much love and support here that she can actually feel it and it's that, that keeps her going.
All the love in the world to you WWay!

There's a big tussle between a couple of senior folks on the Reo thread about which type of batteries should be used on LR attys, IMR (high drain) or protected lithium-ion.
Blah, blah, blah, ohms....amps....stressing the battery...yadda, yadda, yadda.
Would you, Isaac, one of the atty masters, care to weigh in and give your opinion? Would a IMR or high drain 14500 or 18650 be better to power one of your LR attys than a protected li-on? Or does it not really make a difference?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What is the difference if any between the different battery chemistries?
Lithium Ion (Li Ion) requires a protection circuit for safety, whilst Lithium Iron Phosphate (LifePo4) and Lithium Manganese (LiMn or IMR) use safe chemistry. Although these batteries utilize safer chemistry, protection circuits are generally recommended. The safer chemistry will prevent venting with flames in the event of a catastrophic failure, whilst LI Ion batteries contain and oxidizer, which produces its own oxygen to support combustion, should sufficient heat be available at the source. Lithium-ion safety concerns
Furthermore, the LiMn or IMR battery is capable of handling greater load demands than their cousins the Li Ion and LifePOs (in a much smaller package), and hence is commonly referred to as a “high drain” battery. Providing the battery has the appropriate C rating for the application, these are the recommended batteries intended for use with low resistance atomizers.
Notwithstanding, larger cell Li Ion batteries are indeed capable of meeting large load demands. In these instances, battery longevity between recharges becomes the deciding factor between the two. e.g. The AW 18650 2600mAh battery will outlast the IMR 18650 1600mAh battery:
IMR18650 1600mAh 10C :
(1.6*10) = 16A for 6min; whilst
AW 18650 2600mAh 2C
(2.6*2) = 5.2A for 30 min
When using a factor of 3 against the IMR, (16A/3) = 5.3A in can readily be seen that decreasing its load demand will not increase its longevity significantly (6min *3) or 18 minutes, when compared to a similar load handled by the standard 18650 for 30 minutes. This data backs up speculation that IMRs are effective in all cells, where it can be clearly seen here and, as experienced by the community that IMR chemistry is wasted in larger cells. When using the mathematical equations, greater battery longevity is achieved using a standard 18650 over the IMR battery. In addition, IMR cells are unprotected. Although IMR cells use safer chemistry, the use of protected batteries should always be the deciding factor in which battery to use when, the increase workload capacity is of inconsequential value. [emphais added]
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that IMR's SHOULD be used for 14500's but is IRRELEVANT for 18650s?

That is exactly what the battery experts on this forum are saying.
Here is where Drozd breaks it down, starting with post #31. Post #42 directly answers your question.
