Thank you mamacita, I am torn on which I like better... when I saw the pix, I figured if I had both in hand, the decision would be easier. Well, it's not. They are both astonishing in their own way, and they are both MUCH prettier than the photos. I really don't know why I can't get a great shot of them. Actually, I do know... the wood 'ribbons' like pdib said about the mahogany. When you turn it, even the unpolished, well especially the unpolished, sides become more radiant and dimensional. I think the polished side may be the ugliest of the 6 faces on both pieces. These are some of the craziest things I've ever seen, and they are WOOD!!!

i will bear your child for the one you don't choose...

Well, frankly, it would be worth a piece of wood to see him bear a child... just saying...

much like gender, language on the internet is often problematical...

I think that would create jealousy lol

First come, first served... seems rational =] If you are jealous of the number of Dibis people are ordering or wood or whatever, save those pennies and put that old vape gear in the classies :p I'm thinking of putting some gear in the classies, but I rotate them slowly, so I probably won't XD Hoarding is a sickness :p

There's a world of difference between the AW IMR 18650 2000mAh and the 1600mAh. It's the 2000 that's 10 Amp. The 1600 is a 24 Amp battery (max. continuous discharge). Uke, you could hold down your button on a .3Ω coil until your battery runs down to swappin' time with the 1600. (although I haven't tested the 10A fuse for a one hour long button push)

Good God that's awesome!

hmm i guess i got to go and look for where i saw 1600 specs … but i know that peeps were dissing the 1600 for super subs, not so much.

Well here's the deal with that tho. Vwls would get first dibs on the violet if I keep the blue. That's because the color/pattern is unbelievably close to what her 'dream mod' looks like, even tho Valheli asked first. But it's not Valheli's dream piece that he's been pining for months about, so being a gentleman, I know he'd understand.

As for the blue, here is what he said in the return PM:
"I figured that you would be more than pleased once you got them. They are much nicer in hand than in a picture. I do not have any more of the Violet, sorry about that. I may get some dark purple done soon, much like the Violet, but a deeper purple color."

Soooooo... he's about to make more DARK violet, I think in Box Elder, which are those crazy swirly colors (my dark one is BLUE, and it's maple, the violet is Box Elder). So, that means it may be even nicer than what I have (he doesn't know either, he hasn't made it yet).

I don't know what I want to do yet... I will keep them on my desk and over time figure it out. What is hypnotic about them are not the faces but the SIDES. The blue one has these jagged lightning patterns on the sides (the long grain side) that are iridescent, any rock collector here would know what Hells Canyon petrified wood is, very rare, exquisite patterns... that are on the side of this in soft pink, violet and pale teal. That's on the BLUE one.

The back of the violet one has a PINK cloud. Both of these seem like experiments or something, they have way more than 2 colors, and light and dark patches don't account for the difference in not just shade but actual different colors. The word stunning does not adequately describe what it looks like...

Um . . . .. I'm not quite at the begging stage yet. Just annoyed with my system, and PMing folks one at a time (I can't really PM 4 people, get two of them all excited, and then dump one off a bridge, btw). Anyway, if it were an "any takers" kin'a situation . .. . Ratchet up there already called shotgun on it.

I know lots and lots of people want it:). I just figure those who wanted it most would post, and then you can pick the closest one:)!!

upon cursory glancing at the multitude of vaping sub ohm with AW IMR 1600's i see it was the 10c rating that i got mixed up with in my non-learning about this stuff….

an equation shows how the
2000 would equal out; with its 5c rating, 5x2000 = 10,000mah = 10 amp
1600 with its 10c rating would be;10x1600 = 16000mah = 16 amp.

its way too much for me to comprehend properly at this time of day… but darn, now i may be buggin to ask "how long can i hold the button on my DIBI now?

heheh… i got a doz 1600's and only 22 amp Orb's (which my DIBI was fit for)

i have a few 10amp Orbtronic 2900 High Drains, would they be less safe than the AW 1660's?

Lets see…. hmmm don't know the c rating yet…. ahh mahnyahnah! this is not fun right now

The AW 1600 is 15C (24Amp)

the orbie is 10Amp (it's maximum BURST rating doesn't come close to the AW 1600's max CONTINUOUS rating. Orbie is 18A burst)

pesky Ukeman… only because i am a bit old school (and uneducated in electronics)
I'd never doubt you there, and i did see some knowledgeable references to the 1600 being 15C….
what is intriguing (at this moment) is how the info about it being 10c got out there… I've seen (google) the likes of Avid's Cisco himself saying he "knew" and that it was 10c and another here and there and long time ago seeing 10c in vendors' specs.
It makes a hell of a lot of difference to me….
I could name another ecf "dude' or two, but what did i miss?

Odd, well here's darkzero's post quoting direct from Andrew (here's the original post . . .. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ncrease-vapor-flavor-th-666.html#post10889455)

Andrew doesn't have a website (not that I'm aware of) but here are his specs for his IMRs


AW IMR Specs


Safe chemistry LiMn 3.7V rechargeable battery is now available in R123 / 14500/ 18350 / 18490 /18650 size. These cells can handle high amperage and is safe to use in series / multi-cell applications. Can be charge with any LiIon battery charger with 4.2V output.


IMR16340 Specifications :

Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius


Caution :
- Do not over-discharge/overcharge;
- Recharge empty batteries ( resting voltage below ~3.6V ) as soon as possible. Leaving LiIon batteries in discharged state will incur irreversible damage ( capacity / cycle loss );
- Do not short circuit ( will release tremendous current );
- Do not dispose of in fire.


Attention : These IMR cells have much lower internal resistance than regular LiIon 3.7V cells and they may end up with a higher ending voltage when charged in certain chargers ( especially older version WF-139 charger ). Please check the voltage of them right out of the charger to see if they are above 4.20V when fully charged with your charger. Overcharging above 4.25V may shorten life/cycles. Above 4.50V may even pop them or making them leak. DO NOT use the charger if it seems to overcharge IMR cells.

From Mar. 2013….
believe me, i know i've seen 10c in specs:
This is to Cisco from Ray:

I just spoke with a representative over at Holocron Labs (maker of the ShortStop fuse)and was told that the AW IMR 18650 2000mAh battery I have enroute from another vendor is actually a 8C rated battery. I had used your website as a reference on cell specifications.

The only AW IMR 18650 cell in 10C rating is the 1600mAh.

Wish I had known this prior to making the order as I only bought it because I was going to use it for sub-ohm coil setups and testing, not regular vaping.

I only send this message in hope that be changed in case any other vapers order a 2000mAh AW IMR 18650 for the use of extreme coil setups that need extra protection.

Thanks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hi Ray,

Our specs are directly from AW, I tend to hold some weight to AW's accuracy of their specs, if it is incorrect based on AW's comments we would edit the page. I do not know what Holocron rep told you this information is incorrect. Even if he was correct and the correct C rating was 8C the 2000mAh this would put both of these model batteries at the same 16amp drain, way above what would ever be needed in a sub 1ohm coil. You sacrifice capacity for higher C rate, the 2000mAh would be the better choice, even with a sub 1ohm setup

8C x 2000mAh = 16Amps < better capacity curve
10C x 1600mAh = 16Amps < sacrifice capacity for higher c rate


Best regards

Cisco
