I never heard of the Molicel batteries either. I saw them on Mooch's latest battery chart and he rated them "Best all-around" 18650. Molicel is an INR battery. Nickel instead of magnesium like in the IMR batteries. MIGHT be good and hold up better for more charge cycles.

ProVape sent Samsung 25R's with my mod purchases from them. I never really used them. Instead I went with the LG HG2's for the 3000mAh. THEN, I tried some Sony VTC6's which some said were the best 18650's ... I liked the LG batteries better !!! And NOW, finally using the 25R's until the Molicel's get here LOL.

So shopping for new batteries ... went with the Molicel's based on Mooch's tests and recommendations.

Mooch had this to say about Molicel:

"The P26A is my choice for best all-around 18650, for up to 25A or 75W per cell. The combination of its great performance along with its availability from authorized Molicel vendors makes it the best choice in my opinion for moderate to high power use in any device. We don’t have to worry about getting low grade, counterfeit, or old cells and Molicel is willing to sell to the vaping community. No other battery OEM is openly willing to do that."

Mooch's Moilicel P26A test page: Bench Retest Results: Molicel P26A 2600mAh 18650...beats VTC5A, best all-around 18650

BUT THEN I saw his test of the P28A that just came out from Molicel in May and wished I'd gotten them instead of the P26A's. But since he basically rates the P26A and P28A as "tied" ... down to 3.2V, I should be okay:
Bench Retest Results: Molicel P28A 2800mAh 18650..equal to P26A, tied for best all-around 18650

Why does the AC always go out on a Friday afternoon? Hotter than blazes and they won't come out until Monday.

Are you the least bit handy?

Have you seen this?

Yep, saw it. Most of it is WAY over my head LOL. All the reviews on the Zanflare have been great reviews. I've only ever used Xtar. Currently have and use Xtar VC2 Plus. The sleds on the Xtar have gotten a little loose, especially the left one but it still charges. I chose the Zanflare not because I think it will charge faster than the Xtar ... they both only go up to 1A. But I got the Zanflare because of the battery testing capabilities. While the Zanflare isn't high precision calibrated test equipment, it should give the casual user some idea of battery health.

Also, for tests of many different chargers, there's this: Round cell charger index

Hadn't mentioned it, but I did order the Molicel's from Liion Wholesale. They are an authorized Molicel dealer AND on Mooch's recommended vendor list. First time I've ordered from them. I usually order from IMRbatteries. I checked IMRbatteries and the only Molicel they have is a 20700 and I need 18650's.

Google came up with that site, I have never used them either. I will be needing to order some batteries soon, so I was wondering who you used. Bookmarked for the future.

Again, come to Michigan, 65F outside right now. Tomorrow's high - 64

It is 85 inside at 9 pm with all the fans going.

I have had too many disappointments with food since being diagnosed, I have learned to find and use things as they were intended, and enjoy them as is...that being said, one of my favorite flat breads is a pancake recipe I have modified incorporating corn masa as a base ingredient...they are hearty, fluffy, and full of flavor. It really is the gluten that makes certain breads what they are, like them french baguettes and them really sweet tasting Italian loaves...sometimes I think I'd be happy to just kill myself so I can fly on up to heaven and have a really nice Cuban sandwich with Hesuze... but then there is that whole go to hell and die a thousand deaths thing...

I think you said you have tried the gluten free bread from Publix or Walmart, right? The one from Publix is actually good but it is almost 11.00 a loaf.

Cuz if you are you could look at the capacitor to see if that is the problem. It’s not hard to do. The capacitor is a common reason for ACs to shut down.

A pastability for gluten-freeberz and low carberz is cloud bread. I've not yet tried it, but it's on my to cook list.

Uh, handy??? This is a woman who doesn't even like to build fiddly coils so probably not.

Never heard of it, tell us more, please.

Not everyone call just float up there to get it, Kat, so you'd best grab enough for all of us.

I don't know what cloud bread is, so I googled it and found that it is Keto friendly, since I don't know anyone called Keto, ......

Not to change the subject...

Does anyone know if a mini, v2.5, P3, and P3 30 watt are worth anything? All are Ti. Thinking of putting them up for sale.
