My Orbs seem to hold at 4.0 for a long time and charge faster than my Panasonics. Been kind o' happy with them. They are able to leap tall building in a single bound too.

I have no vv's. Well.. I still have the VAMO but it doesn't get much action lately, as in the last 3 or 4 months.
Aside from the VAMO I have a broken Sig #8, a working Sig #19, the EA mod and the REOs.

Good to hear!
Aww people, don't torture the baby 14500s with 4 or 5 amps.They may just be up to it, but they will drop too low after the first hit off the charger. They are great little performers for a stealthy vape, but I try to get a coil around 1.5 ohms with a much thinner gauge wire. I use 0.16mm for them.
You have Grands for the big man stuff =)

Yeah, you're right ChrisEU.
I shouldn't even be considering placing this little guy in harm's way. I have no doubt the little REO could handle it but it would be a damn shame for me to damage a rare device like this taking a risk I know well how to avoid.
Thank you for offering a voice of reason
However... I will have a keen eye for some 8-10a 14500's... if they even exist..

I think, at some point you run into an issue with size, mAh, and internal resistance . . . . when it comes to discharge capabilities. If you had, say, a 300mAh 14500, you could hope to see higher discharge ratings.
You know.. even then I think they would have their place, even at the expense. The batt is small capacity as it is. If I could get a safe 10a out of it I'd be delighted with 300mAh. It wouldn't last long but it would pack a heluva punch. It'd be the Derringer of vapes! I'd just do as I mentioned earlier and reserve it for higher nic juice and not use it for long sessions like work or a road trip...
Speaking of road trips
All cleaned up and ready for a trip to Dr Rob
The broken piece of plastic went down the sink drain before I noticed it was gone. Not the whole housing just a little strip of plastic along the top of it.
Cleaned up really well, I think. If anyone has any suggestions for polishing this finish, even if it's "don't do it", they would be most welcome. I'm wondering if this finish could even withstand a good polishing... strictly because I know nothing about nickel plating.

Ok this is where I have to apologize, for even thinking of misusing this device. Now, I try to be considerate of others and their opinions about things like safety and proper use. Normally I would take any risk I deemed potentially worth the potential reward, because it's mine.
I pledge, to the good people of REOville, that I will never knowingly misuse this rare and (to me at least) coveted, nickel plated, miniature, bad motha &$#?a of a device.

You won't actually damage the device by going crazy with the power - they can take it or the spring will collapse. But the battery size 14500 is too small to hold enough energy, plus, battery cell manufacturers concentrate their development in the common 18650 size, which is used for power tools and electro mobility.
So... hmm... well I did pledge to never misuse to device... I feel no particular mercy for the batteries, lol
The mini is as sturdy as the Grand, the metal tongue that touches the positive connector of the battery is a bit smaller but that's all, electricity-wise. But there are no really good power-cell type batteries in the 14500 format. The AW and the Efest are decent, but they won't hit as hard as the 18650s.
yeah, I wasn't going to mention that. Why? I guess I thought dear old Stats shouldn't start tilting at windmills. Also, despite not damaging the mini, pushing a batteries limits isn't something I'd recommend (not necessarily for Stats, but for the casual passer-by reader). But yeah, go nuts, old pal.

I was wondering if there might be a 14mm battery short enough to stack two in there...
Hahaha, this.. seriously.. this is exciting news, lol.

SWEET!! Nerak saves the day for Stats!!!!!
Now I want one too!!!!!
Please read that whole thread. There are two types of batteries that they can use. Lots of great info if you read it all!
Karen is a REO guru, enthusiast, historian, collector, technical advisor, and just one all around sweet lady.
Were luck to have her here.
My vote for REO queen
You took the words out of my mouth Bob. We are very fortunate to have her riding shotgun with us
Damn straight she's a double guru
Newmans at it again over in the liquid feed forum...
Man that guy just annoys me. Received my first and only ECF infraction because of my reaction to his inflammatory posts.
Trying very hard to ignore them again.
