I need a pair of AW IMR 18490's. I always buy my AW batteries from Super T but it appears they have gotten out of the business because they are always out of stock and have been for many months now. Need another source for AW IMR batteries. I'm staying with this brand not because I don't trust others but, instead, because this is the brand I started with and they have never disappointed me (not to mention they are held in high regard across the vape world). There are times when I shop by brand and there are times when I don't. I shop for E-cig batteries by brand...safety is priority.

Thanks

RTDVapor or Lighthound.

And I ended up getting them from RTDVapor. Never bought anything from them but I've seen them around aplenty. They were 65 cents less each but they are also closer to me so it might shave a day off of shipping time.

Honestly the only site I'll buy my batteries from.
Oh and here's me hardware. Its all I own now. No mechs no tanks nothing but reos.

Well that takes care of the weekdays. Just two more to cover the weekends.

Nice collection!

One more SL planned for my 2 year next month. A 7th is not planned. The mini though I love it, isn't used, and most likely won't ever get used much. I prefer subohm and don't trust 490 batteries. Not exactly for that reason, but battery life coupled with sub ohm equals no good for me.
Was thinking bout training my lady in the squonking ways and just giving it to her. Then i remembered how damaged her provari is....

Never had the desire for a Provari due mainly to the price and the hype. I don't like the whole if you don't have this or that you have nothing. To me it doesn't matter what you use as long as your not smoking. I feel the same about motorcycles and other stuff. To each there own just don't look down on me and I won't look down on you. . . .

David, I hear this stuff about "Provari snobs" all the time, but I don't ever see those people. All I ever see is Provari people recommending it to others because they love it so much. And I do see Provari owners running to the rescue when some troll starts a Provari bashing thread (which are often not-so-cleverly disguised as an innocent "Is the Provari Worth It?" thread) as bait.

But I never see people bragging about their Provari or looking down their noses at anyone vaping a different device. As I said on another thread, I don't care what kind of car someone drives, what kind of computer they use or what brand of TV they watch? So, why should I care which PV they use? We all make our own choices.

I'm not knocking people that like the Provari or the Reo or the Vamo. But when I first found ECF I was already using a spinner. When someone would ask what they should get for there first kit and someone would say get a Provari you can't go wrong. Or your wasting your money if you don't get one. Well to me that's wrong. A first timer should not get a Provari or a Reo or a vamo. It's to much. They should start with a twist or spinner till they get an idea of what they like. And I agree with you. We make our own choices. Heck a month ago I wouldn't trade the Evod for any thing else. Now the Evods are put away and I wouldn't trade the KFL. When my XPV gets here the Vamo may go the same way. Or I'll give it to my brother in law. I just never wanted a Provari but when the V3 comes out I'll give it another look.

I completely agree David. I remember my very first ECF post. I just basically introduced myself. The second reply I got was, "You gotta get a Provari". I think the Provari snobs and the Provari bashers deserve each other. They're both nuts. I mean, its a PV. So what?

Beginners should start out on something simple like a spinner (as you suggest) to see if it is something they like. As they continue to grow then a Provari is something to consider. Hell, I started with a ProSmoke! :)

    All I'm waiting on is for them to implement VW , I don't think that's to much to ask for , if I'm gonna spend that amount of money I wants what I want ! :)

    I think beginners should start out sub-ohming with stacked batteries. ;)
