I was going to order through Amazon since it's free 2 day shipping for me. Would any of these on this page work?
Amazon.com: 18650: Health & Personal Care

I think these are the same ones you posted but through amazon
Amazon.com: 2 Samsung INR18650-25R 18650 2500mAh 3.6v Rechargeable Flat Top Batteries (Blue/Green assorted): Health & Personal Care

Those look to be the same and some reviewers are saying that they are authentic. You would probably be okay with those. There are tons of fake batteries that they just replace the covers on out there so, i normally only buy from vendors that I know i can trust. having said that, if you read the reviews, these may be worth the chance.

Yes, based on the reviews, i would buy them.

I was one of the very first people to get an iStick and put the word out. I waited patiently for the first release.

That is so cool Salem, I didn't know!!! i never venture out much.

 

[908Tracy]

Good night Fran, and everyone else! I'm so tired tonight.

 

[salemgold]

Just ordered a set of the ones in the second link. They should get here by Tuesday and I'll let you know if they hold a charge well and no serious overheating issues. I read a few reviews from people that used them in their mods including my brand and they worked out fine so *crosses fingers*

 

[Wuzznt Me]

I'm thinking I'm just going to get another egrip. The all in one with nothing sticking out is one of it's most attractive features for me and it vapes super. The flavor with the rba (I didn't think was going to work) is fantastic.

Yep, i think that they will be fine. Those reviews were written by vapers and most know about the fakes running around out there. I recently bought several items from Amazon that were listed as authentic but, were not. Non vaping related but, I was not happy.

There is a thread where everyone is raving about the RBA. I posted that i knew someone that did not care for it and they said that was a first.

I think you will like the Istick 50W had the 20W have a 30W and i just got that great deal Sg posted last night(it shipped today !) Subtank mini i have coming for free but i like the subtank it's the only non RTA's or RDA's i use. Had the same coil head for close to a month now. I have not even tried to rebuild it so far. Am hearing great things about the subtank mini as well.

Think am done with Mods for awhile am up too an even 10-30W and higher Win the last 2 months or so. Yea i been going a bit over broad. Now its on too some new topper and am done for awhile. Really want to try and skip a generation of mods and topper if i can.

 

[OldtimeRocker]

Yea my pipe froze up last night :-(

My ProV Mini was a gift, so this is the first mod I've bought since before I worked for Mike at Notcigs! It doesn't take much to excite me

 

[Wharf Rat]

I have the Atlantis and the Subtank mini and I like them both. The Atlantis I vape @33 to 38w and the Sub @ 26 to 29w. The Atlantis is cooler with more vapor and the Sub is warmer. The Sub also has a 1.2Ω head. The Subs rebuildable comes prebuilt. It's pretty small but it's not too difficult to build.

And 'grats on the new mod Bov !!!

Yep, the 1.2s are what I use with mine. I still need to request a new seal for my Subtank before using the RBA deck

Out of the box it was terrible and I kept reading about people having trouble with it leaking, gurgling dry hits etc. so I got the idea it wasn't much. The draw was waaay to airy for me. I was winding some coils one day and decided to see if I could do anything about the things I didn't like. Took a couple of hours and a few wicks but I finally figured it out. Now it takes about 20 minutes to replace the wick with a quick dry burn once a week and it's good to go. I bought some of the pre wound wicks at $1 each for when this one finally gives up. Takes about a half day after rewicking for the flavor to fully shine but it's pretty darn good from the getgo.

Now that sounds like a personal problem to me! Does your wife know?








Sorry, OTR. You set yourself up for that one

That may not work very well for me then. I have trouble with my hands. I had the first trigger finger surgery a few years back. Carpal tunnel about 6 months ago. Now, my thumb is triggering on the same hand Headed for another hand surgery soon and it is very hard for me to work with small stuff like that.

After all was said and done I had a little cash left over...Black E Leaf 50 heading this way as well...As I always say ...If you want to find the best deal just ask Salem...Mine was 41 and some change. Thanks Salem !!!!!!!!!!!!!

12* and Son let me tell you that's freekin' cold....Standing guard for Spike's nature calls is downright brutal...

I rewicked both my ProVs and added a new coil in the Nauty along with the Purple Haze now at 11% Grape Juice and 4% Hypnotic...I poured what GJ I had into a graduated cylinder and played out a 120ml mix to use the remaining GJ...That's how I determined 11%....I was wanting it to be a little different than 908's 10/5 ratio for comparison..So far so good but the coil is way fresh still...

Not sure what the wattage is on my E Leaf...I turned it all the way up and got 15.9 with a 1.9 ohm coil so I guess 20 watts...LOLed at OTR!!! Gonna sit out the next generation of tanks and mods....with his frozen pipe!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sitting out to....didn't work so well for me...Somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 in the 3 mods sitting at the ready...Can't put a price on being able to breathe though...Smack a battery in there and mash that button!!!!!!!!!!

Almost forgot.....Ragnor Lothbrook is a bad MFer for sure

ROTFL@Salem.

I know what you mean about working on small schtuff Salem. I bought a jewlers loupe so I could see and just kinda shake stuff in lol. The wicks are easy enough but I don't know what's going to happen when I've finally got to change the coil. The other side of the coin is if I had to buy a new rba with a coil installed it'd still cost less than the 4 or 5 heads I'm saving. So far I've only used 1 1/2 of the heads I bought. Either way I'm glad I decided to give it a second chance.

Good morning Fran. It's cold here this morning. Hit 28.8 just before daylight. Ain't going outside until the temps reach my age and I'm old.
