I think that David is just an optimist as well as a perfectionist. His optimistic time estimates appear to be what he is shooting for but so far the estimates have been off a little. Personally, I enjoy optimists far more than pessimists..
3400mAh is a protected LiCo (lithium cobalt chemistry) battery. Unfortunately, not ideal for our purposes. High drain LiMn (lithium manganese chemistry) batteries are better suited for e cigs.
The reason is that e cigs can put fairly significant amp loads on batteries... More than enough to trigger the protection circuit of the battery. The two AW batteries that are recommended are the AW 1600 mAh and the AW 2000 mAh. Both of these are "high drain" IMR (LiMn) batteries.
Oddly enough, this is one area where a battery's "energy capacity" is of far less concern than it's "discharge capacity". The MNKE 1400 mAh battery has an almost cult-like following because of its 20 amp continuous/ 30 amp pulse discharge rating. It's able to maintain a high voltage output under heavy amp loads. The same for AW 1600 IMR, with it's 24 amp discharge rating.
Bear in mind that this is largely dependent on atomizer resistance. The lower the resistance, the greater the amp load and the more critical battery selection becomes.
I sure hope not, just waited 4 mos for a dam atty. I emailed a couple people at Super T and they told me approx 6-8 weeks, however my number is 16272. I was told around the end of July begining of Aug. Not sure how realistic that is seeing the simple math the guy did a few pm's earlier. I sure hope I didnt get the ropa Dope lol. Anyway the product is worth a wait. Btw Bucketmouth. Do you go to college on the Eatern Shore or Live there? My Family lives down off Nanticoke rd near Sailsbury.
Wanted to ask also, If the product isnt already made, why were the Satin not available for order?

Can the ELA do *that*?
Thanks!Wow, I did a considerable amount of research on batteries and charges (mainly on the flashlight forums) but this is probably the best explanation that I've read so far. Great job..
I really, really want a flat top for my P+18650![]()
You know the kicklet cap will look flat with an atty on it.
Yes, you do.I really, really want a flat top for my P+18650![]()
You know the kicklet cap will look flat with an atty on it.
true... they were selling the P+ with a Kiklet cap on some of the latest orders for a P+ with flat top... it is a little different in that it has the 4 grooves for air flow though; not "the P+ flat top" but basically will do the trick.
Unless he will sell just the top, you would have to get the whole kiklet.
I live in easton....25 mins from there ......I want this mod but not sure I can wait 3-6 months to get it....I can do 8 weeks bit it seems that's not happening.
Yes, you do.
Puh-leeez. Oh, the old style flat cap, no slots, nothing like 'em.
#15091 just landed!!! I'll post some pics tomorrow after I patinate the brass accent rings.
For some stupid reason i really thought i would get my ELA this week.
i think mine should be a month out as well. ordered 21st march.
