Thanks r3kka :)

SD are you working? I never see you on here this late usually lol.

Whaaaaat? I find it's usually myself and Ben perusing the thread this late. Although, this week I have been somewhat absent during the late hours as I had a friend staying with us from Monday until this morning. Admittedly, I was at work until about two and a half hours ago. :) Speaking of not seeing people, it's been ages, Mix.

How long do batteries usually last? Mine are still good, I was just wondering.

Question of the year. I've had a pair of Trustfire 16340's that I've had since June that last and pack a punch as powerful as the day I got them, and a pair of AW IMR 16340's that started holding less of a charge about two months into using them. :blink: And I never ran them at lower than 6 volts! Inversely, had a pair of UltraFire 18650's that decided to hold a pathetic hour to two hour charge after about six weeks, and my AW IMR 18650's can last for days... And I've had them for five months. :facepalm:

Yeah batteries are really weird sometimes. As far as batteries being true, AW are the only ones tested to be close to their stated mah rating, but the life of them all depends really. Some people have had AWs since they started vaping 2 years ago and they still are going strong and some people have had to replace them since then. It all depends on how it is treated, how many batts you have in rotation and a very important factor a lot of people overlook is how good of a charger you are using to charge the batts.

I try to have 2 sets for every mod. Unfortunately, that's a lot of batteries. :facepalm:

Okay..who better to ask than the tank experts. I am new to the tanks and haven't had the pleasure to win a Lava Tank yet...but hopefully next week. I like variety so would like to have multiple tanks filled....do you store your tanks on your pv or not incase they leak?

I put each of mine in its own little baggie and then put them all in there own baggies inside a clear cosmetic bag. Geez I hope that makes sense to you!

I have 2 of 3 AW IMR sets from just about every battery size Super T offers. I think the exception are the biggest batts, and the smallest like the 10440's. I never run my AW's below 4.5 volts. I can't recall the lowest voltage you should run them at, but I believe it's something like 4.2v? That and I have 4 Pilas. I swear by the things.

As a side question to the Lavacorps, there probably isn't much I can do about this, is there? :blink: It's just frustrating because I try to help out a lot of new vapers over there... And now it's kind of been turned into a billboard. :facepalm:

Can he do that? Just post his ads everywhere? That's rediculous.
