The question about batteries sent me to my battery drawer. I actually have several “new” batteries. The batteries are old but never used.
Is there any good reason why I should need to buy new batteries?
If your batteries are healthy, then no. I have several batteries I rotate through.

For 18650's I like Molicel P26A and P28A, LG HG2, Sony/Murata VTC5D, Samsung 25R and 30Q 18650's.

And for 20700 and 21700 I prefer Sanyo NCR2070C 20700, Samsung 30T and 40T 21700's and Molicel P42A 21700.

In addition to those I have good number of unused batteries in storage, all a mix of the above. Those I check every few months. Top them off at storage voltage, 3.5v-3.6v, if needed.

    Well, that is good news. I would hate to have to buy new batteries. Just got the coils I bought paid for and I’d like to buy something more exciting than batteries. I’ve been thinking on a tank that’s easy to coil.

    Morning, mixers.

    Yep, the guessers blew it yesterday, scattered showers were not scattered... :lol:

    Probably more of the wrong guess today as well, although the claim is it's backing off. But temp here above freezing, so any white stuff that falls will turn clear quickly :)

    An update from Uncle, though I'm a few days late getting it posted:

    "Made it through surgery, after 1 week in the hospital. They fixed the bone, no hip replacement. Doctors have been talking above me, about me, making decisions for me, without my consent.
    A week after surgery...went to rehab. They've given me no idea how long I'll be here. Nothing has been a pleasant experience. Really holding on to the last thread before I murder someone, which could be anyone in the area, including myself.

    Just Sayin'......... :)

    PS: You guys do remember what sarcasm is...."

    Yeah, sarcasm, but maybe only just! Thanks for the news, and tell him to stop malingering and get back here ;)

    I'm with Hitt, charge 'em up and see how they do.

    I think first part of next week I’ll charge 4 of my old batteries and give them a bit of use before putting away again. I’ll eventually get through all of them. I have tossed a few batteries over the years but not many.

    So any recommendations on a tank?
    I really like the Atmizoo Aer RTA I bought in February. Super easy to build and wick. Amazing flavor.

    Other than the RTAs Hitt has been posting about, I don't know what's out there.

    Might be a good tank but too much $$ for me.

    I’m really proud of Heather’s oldest daughter.(my gdd) When she turned 14 and found out she could work she started begging her Mom to let her get a job. Heather finally let her do that and she got a job at Market Basket grocery store. She did her training and she will work two days a week to start. She will work 4 hours tomorrow as a cashier/bagger. So many young ones have no interest in work, adults also. I’m proud of her.

    I really like my Gata RTA so far, i think is a nice RDL !
    I have seen you mention that on other threads. I will take a look at it.

    No need to be a stranger here. It is after all, a random thread

    I have a stack of new and unused batteries for backup. I toss the old ones when they start not lasting.
    I will guess that hitt is talking to his daughter and SMT went back to talk to the animals.
    Nope. Just catching the latest episode of the Mandolorian. However the youngest is coming after noon so I should probably get cleaned up.

    Yeah i wanted a simple RTA but with little more airflow than my loose MTLs, and i don't like wide open DLs, so it's the perfect fit for me !
