To me what I use to always say about cars applies to battery's there is no replacement for displacement
Yeah, mine are 1200 for the 18350's and 880 for the 16340's but my 16340's still perform better. I don't know why. Maybe I got a bad batch of 18350's?
Arr, well alright, I'm closing up the shop early tonight, tired of snorting wood dust for the day... it's 'beer and a movie' time
unfortunately, ikenvape is down right now
And has been for over a month.
Forgot about that. Well, if it ever comes back up, it is a really good battery FAQ.unfortunately, ikenvape is down right now
Congrats Deejay. Great to see another Cutlass winging it's way to our side of the Atlantic.
On another subject, for anyone worried their mods will suffer the same fate as Pchela's and Airborn's, I've just spotted this on eBay, and I'm being serious BTW!

I know it looks tacky but this is how I cary my RSM with me.
Wear it around my neck.
BTW sorry it is a little dirty I havn't washed it in about a week and have had a couple tank leaks in it lately.

Arr, ok, updated website one last time, gonna try to hit the pit early tonight, night all!
Congrats Deejay, i know how much you wanted one. I on the other hand am waiting patiently to get the combination of woods that would make me happy. I am just getting more worried by the day that i will end up with something that will only fit ultrafire 16340 ( and with all the trying and being nice, i cannot even look at ultrafires , they dissapoint on all levels ).
I see we have a huge battery-know-how problem on this thread. Using high drains on VV is not practical, if you over-discharge them 2-3 times, you can throw away your precious AW IMRs. High drains are the best batteries to use in mechanical mods, not VVs. Using protected is the only hassle-free way to go, the under-load maintenance work is done by the circuit, no over-discharge problems because the protection circuit kicks in ( even if one of the two has defective PCB, the other kicks in and stops the device ), and they have more capacity (mah) for the circuit to work with.
Ultrafire and Trustfire are the cheap alternative, but trustfire is way ahead of ultrafire on all counts, more mah, more amps delivered, still weak compared to an AW protected tho.
I see people mentioning 880mah on 16340 and 1200mah on 18350 .. those figures are WAY WAY over the actual mah of the battery.
None of the owners could tell me what circuit is precisely inside, but Brian mentioning linear on a quite old model makes me think he uses switching regulator on the recent models, wich improves the time between battery recharges by quite a lot and keeps the circuit a lot cooler.
I REALLY want a cutlass and i am sure no matter what the changes ( dimensions / manufacturing time-saving changes / aspect related ) i will end up owning a gorgeous unique piece of functional art.

Morning All,
I also managed to bag a Cutlass from the site this morning so it is a wonderful morning and another RSM making her way to this side of the pond
Regarding batteries, I get on just fine with AW 18350 IMR's and my VV mods
The extra bonus with the Cutlass is that you can easily avoid over-discharge by simply checking the voltage (don't forget to remove your atty first!)
