I wasn't very clear: AW is pretty much the gold standard; P14500 is the black/red protected, and lasts longer, but is close enough in output to the red IMR hi drain 14500 which doesn't last as long.
IMR are great for very LR when you need a lot of output, but like I said, i don't notice much difference in performance.
IMO AW's are worth the slight extra cost because not only are they better, they are safer.

couldn't agree more, uke!

i talked to him last night, hes not taking anymore requests for the v2 at this point, i just picked one up in the classies and am pretty excited! do the aw ic 14500 work in it? and about how long do the batterie last on a full charge?

You really lucked up! I can't imagine selling mine! I do have some of the red aw imr's but I usually use the flamejacket trustfires in the army tank. I have another little 3.7 box that I run the aw imrs. I do this mainly because I have 4 of each and need to rotate them around and I'd rather use the aw's than the tf's in the simple box. When I order more batts, I'll get more of the aw imr's. They aren't that much more and SuperTmfg has good prices and shipping isn't but a couple dollars.

ooooh ok, uke, lol your post still confused me a little i guess people use different wyas of describing the batts the p14500 you speak of are the aw IC ones, so basically, they ar the best? balck with silver and red label? all i use is the ac ones, they are a little bit more expensive, but cheap compared to the 2900 mah 18650 batts ive been getting! lol they are expensive

Yeah, their expensive but their worth it. There's a reason why they're known the best premium batt available on the market. The time you get with these are ridiculous. It's very comparable to a 18650 AW IMR batt in that I get two days out of them and they're still ticking.

Remember that it's a regulated VV mod. So, you don't have to worry about it under-performing. Although, I usually switch around the batteries so I don't over stress one of them. But, that's just my personal preference.

well i picked up 4 tursfire flame for 14 bucks shipped in the classies, backup and to tide me over till i get payed, also got a couple 3ohm hh 357s to try out with the sgt, im getting excited!

Trustfire Flamejackets are what I've been using for the past month or so. I save my aw imrs for my 3.7 box mod.

Those should work fine. I used them for a little bit before buying some AW IC batts. They work pretty well with them and so, you'll be satisfied with them until then. I've heard a LOT of great things about the 357's and so, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all with them. They seem to perform awesome after people have broken them in after a little bit.

I love using a SR Joye 510 (2.2 Ohm) on the SgtII... at low volts; 3.5 to 3.8 or so.
It has a low profile so no worries of bending the connector any.
Because I like using it so much, I have a short pyrex d/t and drip while at home, saving the bottle for the road.
:)
Man those double P14500's last days!
And you know, forget the fancy new atomizers and get as good a vape as any of them... helps with tinkering with the rebuildables on the side...

ive actually been in love with the dual coil attys that cov started selling, i ust like to try everything i can out, so figured id try the hh357s to see if they are worth what everyone says they are,
i have a brick and moratr that sells only true joye products, so if im ever desperatly low, its abotu 15mins away!

you'll love Pyrex... i think Theecig is the first and one of the only vendors.
I've had to send a couple back as they are handmade, but most fit right; especially if you are using Joye or in 901, the DSE's.
The 306 is great, but they recommend using their attys... I've had one that fits most 306's.

I'll agree with that. Joye's are really a good atomizer. Just ordered some pyrex DT's today from theecig. Can't wait to get them. Got 2 306's.

I hope so, since I got two 306 DT with my order due to the sale. Good to hear that they're hand made though. Makes the price of them worth it. Going to be using them on Cisco 306's since I got WAY to many DT for 510/901 atties already.

imo there is no comparison to other d/t's if you drip...
but you might tell him they are Cisco... he will check it against a certain atty.
They say they are tested with the bauway 306.., but mine have fit (cisco and iken)...
