Nice table. That's why I want to see what happens with the brand new ones due on Thursday. Now that I have a charger that reports it, I'll keep track to see if it's reproducible. All my batteries read below 50 mOhm (15-35 seems about the range), except one old one that was ~190 mOhm. That older battery still holds a charge and runs just about as long as my others, so no idea what to make of that. But that's also why I'm cycling in new batteries every 6 months or so.

Still I have older batteries that are at least 3 years old by now that charge and last just fine. Then again, I have lots of them so they're only in rotation maybe once every two weeks, if not less, so I'm fairly light handed in my use. I have an Efusion that still has the original Lipo pack installed that's also still going strong, but again, it's not in constant use.
I was just looking for Mooch's tutorial on battery IR. I don't think he did one yet. Hopefully he'll still do one as I would like to hear his expertise.

I too have some with higher #'s (150-200 mOhm) that still hold a charge and perform fine. Since I started tracking them I have yet to see one over 200 mOhm.

Your experience is the same as mine with batt's that are 3+ years old. Rossum is in the midst of doing some long term battery storage and IR testing. He bought some nice equipment to conduct testing. I'm looking forward to his results.

I like to track the IR of all my batteries. When I get them I put a label on each with a number and the date I start using them and make a note of the IR. The number I write on the label also goes in my purchase records. That way I can see for myself what is happening with them over time.

A while back I bought 4 each of the Samsung 25r's, Molicel P26A's and LG HG2's. I noted the initial IR of all and am using 2 of each to see how the IR changes over time and how it affects performance. So far the ones in use are still the same, or very nearly the same, as the unused ones. I also have some used/new in stash that I check, and top off when needed, and their IR's have held steady.

Of those I am really impressed with the Molicel P26A's. Mooch has listed them as the best all-around 18650.

Urgh. I recoiled and rewicked 2 RTAs. I LOVE grub screws. Unless they fall out. Then, I hate them. Also am trying a new "mystery" juice (it was something at some point, but the label was either never made, or it got erased somehow. It smelled okay.

I have some lemon merengue pie thing made, it smells UTTERLY vile. I keep hoping it will improve. I'm sort of scared to try vaping it.

This is why I need to set up a dripper. Dude. I also bathed. I'm cleaning A room today. Probably the kitchen.

Oh yeah, also totally destroyed my Silvevrplay. I mean-- I think I took "Screw down the deck" as hard as you can too literally. I tried everything, I mean, like I even BURNED the scrap of rayon that was stuck between the cap and the coil. The top of the cap comes off if anyone is interested. Then you can see, and if you are like me, destroy the insulator and the coil and all that good stuff.

Sometimes I need to remember that "Anna force" is not like "normal force." I am actually really strong and super tough. So I need to chill at times.

The vape was so pleasant like I almost want to get another one--I certainly have uh, replacement parts . Maybe I will have a stab at the HOLY CRAP. It's 1:30? How did that happen.

Yeah, maybe I will NOT have a stab at like, dealing with my V4 Exovape. where it doesn't FLOOD but actually have the ability to vape it. Gah. LOL.

Which battery charger did you get?

It's a Miboxer C4 something or other, the newer one with 2 yellow buttons instead of the older 1 black button one. It replaces my dead Nitecore D4 which I had for over 3-4 years that gave up the ghost a little over a week ago. I was inclined to get the same again, but it was a tad slow by today's standards with a max charge of only 750 mAh X2 slots, 375 mAh for all 4, kinda slow for my married sets. This one is pretty speedy, it also does all the other NiCad, NiMH, odd and funny size ones as well, although I have no real use for that. I got it from Amazon with free 2 day shipping, so it was a good deal all around.

My hubs passed away in January but I've never been big on parties. I don't get stuck buying for all those. My kids rarely all get along so I expect only the 2 girls and families for the Christmas Party this year.
Really sorry to hear that Fran... Hugs :wub:

True, but even with that, the mod and 4 extra bottles was under $40. I figure that's a deal no matter how they handle the shipping. Granted, they are making money on the shipping, but it beats buying that mod for full price.
I went with the black/clear and 4 extra bottles too. I think it's a fine deal even w/$15 shipping. It is a quality squonker. No problems checking out with the age verify thing and no photo ID needed.

Good morning shiners! All I got yesterday was another juice supply. Figure I'll keep buying my fave commercial juices until I no longer can. I have close to 1 L on hand, so I won't be restarting DIY for a bit. I was supposed to get some AVS wire (never tried the Hex core before so figured why not) which shows as delivered but it wasn't. So time for call to the post office this morning. I hate that. My Riviera is already in the mail system so nt it'll be fun watching it bounce around like a pinball.

Oh, and a thanks to everyone who suggested the Miboxer charger. Got it last week and it's a great box. My batteries charge up in no time and I can see the internal resistance, which does appear useless as it jumps all around and I'm not sure what it is supposed to be. But otherwise it's a very simple charger to set up. I have a bunch of Molicels arriving Thursday, so I plan to track the internal resistance on them to see if it really tells me something useful.



My Lab had the same lamby! She loved it. It was the only toy she never destroyed.

She had a thing for squeaky toys. She wasn't happy until she tore it apart to get to the plastic squeak bottle, then lost interest. Even with the indestructible Kevlar squeaky toys meant to avoid shredding she managed to get the squeak out. I never understood that whole thing, but if it made her happy, I was happy.

Aw he tries really hard not to destroy lamb chop but sometimes loses control and tears a hole in it. He gets upset when he does and then I have to sew lamb chop up again. He takes lamb chop to bed
Every night and when I have to sew it up he cant watch because he loves his lamb and doesn’t want to watch him have surgery.

I'm really enjoying the Pocket RDA on a Luna. It's a fine and very flavorful vape.
IMG_1299cr.jpg

The one on the Luna is setup with a simple 26g 316L coil. And the one below I'm using for dripping on a Aegis Solo and it has a 3.5mm ID 34/24 kanthal clapton installed.

I got them from FT for like $4 something. $4.47 YFTK Pocket Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have ignored all charger discussions because mine *worked* fine. The charger banter reminded me I had a handful to charge. Charger is NOT fine. It’s apparently charging, but the screen is all wonky pixilated or whatever it’s called :( . I will go search amazon for one like yours. Thank you!!!!

No not that one. That is the C4. You want the 2 yellow button C4-12 Miboxer. The 2 button is the updated version. I've had mine for awhile now and it's a solid charger.

That's the one.

@Tralfaz vouched for it. Seems like he has every color in his collection except green, which they are apparently sold out of.
The one NolaMel posted is the C4 not the C4-12. Stupid Miboxer made it confusing with different models looking alike. :facepalm:
