The reddit guy posted some pics of the board, there are two AON 7428 N-channel mosfets for switching on board, those will most likely be the hottest components. They don't appear to have a heatsink.
There's a datasheet for those
http://www.aosmd.com/pdfs/datasheet/AON7428.pdf
but honestly I'm too lazy atm to dig out stuff from my uni time to remember how to calculate what power would require a heatsink to work safely and not let the smoke out at some point. I assume some 10 year old at eleaf did those calculations, added some kind of safety margin and set the safe operation at 50W. Probably 60W still would be fine but I wouldn't do above 70W for a prolonged time.

I have two of Big Al's iSwitch single cell mosfet boards (fires down to 0.09Ω). He uses a 100A Vishay SIRA20DP and recommends a maximum of 40A to keep the mosfet from sliding off the board.

Pool guy came to check my heater. The gas line is too small, 1/2”, needs to be 1”. I don’t even know who to call... who does that? So no shiny stuff for me for a while. God knows how much that’s going to cost. I’m seriously so done with this house. 30 years of fixing stuff. I’m getting this gas line done, getting the doors replaced, and looking for property to build on.

Need a licensed plumber. They do gas lines

 

[DeloresRose]

A licensed plumber does that in my neck of the woods.

Not all plumber are licensed to do outdoor lines though. I called 5-6 places. Some of them don’t even know what I’m saying.
“We don’t excavate”
You don’t have to. It runs along the back of the basement, out through the wall above ground.

“Yeah, we don’t dig”

I said above ground. Never mind lol.

takes 18650s with the included adaptors

I just saw those on sale somewhere for pretty cheap.
Now if I can remember......

I put a vaporesso veco on my Swag, and that’s a nice pair for out and about. I have 2 picos , and I like the 21700 but the 75, not so much. Neither is as nice as the Swag.

I like the Swag, I just wanted something tiny for out and about that took a 20700/21700.
Also, the reliability of the Pico was a big deciding factor as well.

Wow, plumbers that don't dig.
Around here they all dig. That's what apprentices are for, duh!

nothing shiny, eh? a green luxotic nc isn't that shiny is it...? right?
$38.91 shipped. done.

I just looked more closely. I had assumed it was VV/VW/TC because of all the buttons. But, it says it's not! Nevermind.

It's VV only, and you can switch between series and parallel mode.
It's a Noisy Cricket V2 in a resin case. (hence the NC part of the name, lol)

Oops! I ended up looking at the squonk version.

This little strip came in my Pico 21700 kit.
It's not magnetic, doesn't set off shoplifting alarms (I tried, lol.), and doesn't seem to have a removable sticky side.
What the heck is it?

Did you solve this mystery yet?

 

[Rangertrix]

Did you solve this mystery yet?

Nope. It's driving me nuts!
Could be used as a spacer for 20700s I guess, lol.
Are you holding out on me and you know? Huh, huh?

Not yet but it came with the 75w too. I figured it was a mini-me mouse pad or a pico coaster

It's a piece of leather to absorb any moisture in the box.
