Morning all.

Ok, time to get a few new batteries too (yes i'm going to get the istick 60w w/ melo 2) what is the consensus for current options???

I've found these so far:
Samsung INR 18650-25R $5.99 - Batteries - Accessories
Samsung 25R 18650 2500mAh Battery - Origin Vape

Oly, I don't have any experience with the batts you linked but they may be just fine for your mod choice. These are my favorites, and I run them in all of mine...a little pricier, but I've had good results with them. Others may have more suggestions.

LG HG2 18650 3000mAh 20A - 35 Amp Peak $7.99 - Batteries - Accessories

This forum has been giving me fits lately.

I am so happy to hear that mama gold is doing so much better!!! **happy dance!**

I use LG and Samsung batts with no problems. :)
Green jackets, baby blue jackets, and even brown jackets. (Was easier to keep the pairs married that way for me)

It was beautiful weather here today! A bit cooler for tomorrow.

Bov, thanks. I think i would rather have extra from a battery instead of running the minimum needed.

Salem, we are waiting to hear how momma is doing today. The weather has to help too. I know it did for me (rode the bike today, whoooo hooooo).

You can get a 75 watt Wismec Presa TC with upgradeable firmware for $29.99 and a Melo 2 tank for 19.99 and batts all at Vape NW. Just a suggestion

    I just got some from here. Good vendor and legit and in stock. Not to mention the best in stock price that I found @$4.75 each

    2500mAh 18650 Samsung INR18650-25R R5 (PAIR) – VAPEHAPPY

    I knew that you would have to grab that iStick60w with your Melo 2! Can't really beat it for $35 but, you would probably be better off just grabbing your batteries at VapeNW since that is where you are getting your mod/tank. No need to pay extra shipping to save $1.25 each IMHO

    Love my iStick 60W perfect weight and shape for me. Not too big and not too small.

    I got an iStick TC100W (for the dual batteries and the hidden button features) and do like it a lot. It is a bit heavy to be pocket friendly though.

    If I recall correctly, those actually are not as good as the 25Rs. I could be mistaken but I saw this discussed elsewhere. Not true to rating.

    Seriously, I am not sure. She said that she does not feel as well today as she did yesterday. But, she had been confused on the dose that she was supposed to take. She was only taking 1 pill per day for the first 2 days when she should have been taking 2 per day. I corrected her yesterday and got her on the correct dose.

    She said that she had night sweats and just a horrible night last night. I think that may be side effects from the antibiotic. Of course to her, all is lost. So darn frustrating to deal with.

    I only talked to her on the phone today. I will see her in person tomorrow and know more. She still sounded more alert than she had been in months.

    Thanks for asking :)

    BTW- Those are 20amp batteries just like the samsung. Don't let the peak fool you ;)

    Glad to hear MamaGold is doing better.....

    I'd give a serious look at the Presa.....It's well made and the fire button is the sheet....Plus you can actually see the screen without a dang microscope.....

    I got many Sony 18650s and 2 Samsungs.....I prefer Sony

    One thing i read that stuck......A guy stated when the Harvoni Hangover struck he would work through it and it would subside.....So.....I've been working my azz off before any hangover could get a hold...the old ignore it and it will go away....So far so good and the light is visible at the end of the old tunnel.......

    Man I had a mountain of limbs and roots....All stacked a little to close to an old Ford truck I got up on blocks....Happy to say that it's almost completely gone....It burned long and hot....Gotta take Mom on the ride of shame in the am{too church}....Maybe a little Daytona 500 after as I got a dog in the fight now.....Bill Elliot's son Chase driving Jeff Gordon's former ride....My cousin is still holding the electrical repair bill hostage....I'd kinda like to finish the paperwork so Mom can get paid.....Scored a 2005 Honda Civic 2 door today.....It's crashed....seats too the Samurai and the rest is for sale......I may get back on the Samurai and I may wait until Monday...At any rate stuff is getting done.....Was gonna cut the block on the HD but the fire and stuff got in the way....Tomorrow is another day and it's gonna be warm again !!!!!!!!!!

    Good morning, all.

    I don't think that oly was really in the market for a new mod. I showed him where to get a Melo2 tank from to try these cCells in and the thing is that they have a great deal going for the Melo2 with the iStick 60W. You buy the mod and get the tank for free pretty much. I know several people that got in on that deal more than once. Everyone is very happy with the deal. I have been using the mod for several months now and it is very well made IMO. Great, sturdy magnets, easy to change/charge battery and the screen is a great size. Really just can't beat that deal IMHO

    Of course, maybe Oly is looking for a new mod for all I know.
    Or, maybe he will be by the time you guys get through with him :lol:

    IF I were in the market for a new one, I would get the cuboid. I know a person that is very impressed with the build quality and I very much value this persons opinion. Fighting myself about getting one since he posted his thoughts on it.
