I'll be sorry if that's right. On the other hand, I don't believe anything a physician tells me.
If he tells you've got a broken bone and shows you the x-ray, it's probably true. But beyond that, skepticism is called for.

I switched to battery weedeaters a few years ago, and last year I bought a Kobalt battery-operated mower. Works great with two 80v batteries that run about 30 minutes each and take 30 minutes each to charge. Just finished my second season with it, and it works like a charm.

I have all battery operated stuff. The mower is an EGO 56v. I get about an hour out of it, half hour to charge, unless I'm mulching leaves. I have wondered how many cells are in that sucker!

"56V" is likely 14 cells in series. The question is, how many in parallel? There should be an Amp-hour rating on the pack that can be used to deduce that.

Looks like 14 cells

I'm certain this has been covered but I'm not going back to dig it up. What temperature are most of you using to store your nicotine-filled, amber bostons?

Perhaps the answer differs on whether the freezer being used doubles as food storage vs dedicated to nic product.??
Zero Fahrenheit

eGo makes great products. I went back and forth between eGo and Kobalt but wound up getting a deal on the Kobalt with two 80V batteries. I can mow 30 minutes (mulching) with one battery while the other takes 30 minutes to charge, then immediately swap them. I have a one-hour yard.

An unexpected perk is that, even though I originally planned to use the mower just for the smaller front yard, it is so light and hassle free to start and run, I wind up push mowing the entire yard most of the time. Only got my riding mower out three or four times all year. Good exercise for an old guy.

Also, I have about 20 eGo attys. Love those things. :thumb:

Received my bostons today. So I'm building a wooden encasement in the bottom of my freezer to protect them from crushing. Fit's nicely in the void next to the compressor. I have a 17+ year supply of nic coming later this week so I'll be in good shape. The way I see it in 17 years, I'll either be dead, want to be dead, or finally grown up and quit vaping.

I love my eGo. I have a 2-hour yard, so I got the self-propelled mower. I don't use that feature, but the mower has more power than the straight-up push version. So glad I switched. People thought I was nuts!

I'm not quite ready to give up dead dino juice for my lawnmower, but it's a 4-stroke:

Has anyone reported their bostons breaking in the freezer? I have had several people suggest they will break in the freezer. Seeing many people here are storing their nic in bostons in the freezer I would not agree with these people. Particularly using the methods outlined thruout this thread.

Just curious.

I’ve never had any of mine break Bronze. Mine have been in my freezer since 2014. They are quite sturdy bottles.
