And what's up with the hat, Darling?
Oh I know, they're not 30A, they're 20A... both of which are FAAAAAAAAAR beyond my needs. 5A batteries may be "old hat" but they're still fine batteries for us tootlers that don't need massive power for massive clouds. It's like, now that there are all these super-duper batteries, people have the idea that the old batteries aren't any good, and that's just wrong. They worked fine in my mods last year and earlier this year, and they'll work fine again, though they're a little closer now to their eventual replacement.

Oy...
Since I didn't expect the tank, just the mod, I was caught off guard. I think I'm just gonna buy a couple of each kind and play with rebuilding them. But I don't have great hopes--Joyetech never made a great topper, ever. They just can't figure it out. They make great batteries, though.
they're all the same
.5Ω hole (3.5mm)
1.0Ω hole (1.8mm)
CL &/or CLR

Yes, I meant the hole in the positive pin. My fingers couldn't keep up with my brain...or maybe my brain couldn't control my fingers...or...sumpthin' like that...Not the pin--the air hole. The sub-ohm coil head gets much more air than the 1Ω one--but I don't don't understand why so much more...
Wait... Did I misunderstand your question? If so, N/M...![]()

Gotcha!
My tank came with Ni and Ti coil heads, so I may give them a try... Pray for me.![]()
Thanks.
So if you use the .5 Ohm head, can you close off the airflow on the Mega to imitate the airflow allowed by the 1.0 Ohm head? Nice to have options. I usually take long lung hits - 6 to 8 seconds - on a GS-MS or GS-Tank clearo. Actually, often a MTL hit immediately followed by a long, slow direct to lung hit. I'd probably want to build around 1.0 - 1.2 Ohm coils.
I'm looking at the VTC mini as my first external battery mod - dunno whether to get the new version with the Tron or the older version with the Mega.
Thanks for the advice. You got a sweetheart deal on yours. Should have jumped then, but I was still trying to figure out which battery to buy and time ran out. Best price I've seen lately on the Mini full kit is about $50, with the Tron models about $10 more. No real rush, though; my iSticks are still ok. I'll go with the .5 Ohm CLRs when the time comes.On the tightest airflow setting, I have difficulty telling the difference between the the .5 & 1.0Ω heads. If you want to do direct lung inhales, I think you want the larger-holed positive pin, even if rebuilt at around 1.0Ω.
We vape similarly. I love my new eVic VTC Mini. Waiting on CLR heads for final opinions on the eGo One Mega but it's looking good. I haven't seen any real comparisons with the new Tron tank. I know they take the same heads, so airflow can't be significantly different. I'd grab whichever is more affordable unless you have your heart set on one of the new colors. I nabbed my kit for $35. I've seen the new Tron kits for $55ish. The Tron tanks seem to sell for $15 on their own.
Hope this helps.![]()

Kbox was designed for min 2O amp's
I jumped on VaporBeast's DOD for the (white) KBOX Mini.
I have lying around some Panasonic NCR18650B (6.8 Amp, 3400mAh)...which I'm guessing would not be safe to use in it?
I also have lying around some Samsung-25R (20 Amp, 2500mAh)...which I'm guessing would be safe to use in it?
Am I correct?

Thanks for the info. Think those prices are for the battery only, though, and I kinda wanted to try those CLR heads. Full kit prices at those vendors areMVS has the the kit for $44, MFS for $43 and World of Vape for $41. Good luck!
Has this been asked before? I don't need more than 15 watts and don't need temp control -- my atty's wick well and tell me when they're low/out of juice (ok, the supposed kanthal "taste control" thing the ijoy's and maybe the j-well onyx claim to have is a little tempting). So with small TC 75 watts with replaceable 18650 battery out there for forty bucks, shouldn't I be awash in $25 options in the itty bitty low power no TC range? Where/which are they? For now the cloupor mini plus is in the lead (smallest, my #1 feature) for the vapocalypse drawer, but surely there's a cheaper option for no TC and no need for 40+watts?
