I didn’t look at it at night to see where the battery level was. But you might be on to something there. And the screen... but it’s no brighter than a Colossal - does it stay lit longer? Don’t know.

Anybody use these with their DVARW V3s? I purchased two : a black one and a silver one. I find that if I try to shut the JFC it pushes the cotton to the side creating a hole in the wicking which reults in a flooded deck and empty tank - the exact opposite of what I thought was the whole point in it's function.

I've got the Steamtuners top fill kit clone and had exactly the same trouble as you when I first built for it. The solution for me was to make sure there is no wick at all protruding from the wick holes. Once you do that it works great. vaping mine now:
River Supply is now selling everything at 75% off till May 31, midnight PST. Medicine Flower flavors are now $6 a pop.
If my memory serves me correctly, the battery health (recharge cycles) will be prolonged if you charge to only 80% and remember to not leave a dead battery sit. Anything above 80% causes corrosion to the anode and anything below the discharge rate is unstable for the cathode (something like that).
From batteryuniversity.com:
"Most Li-ions charge to 4.20V/cell, and every reduction in peak charge voltage of 0.10V/cell is said to double the cycle life. For example, a lithium-ion cell charged to 4.20V/cell typically delivers 300–500 cycles. If charged to only 4.10V/cell, the life can be prolonged to 600–1,000 cycles; 4.0V/cell should deliver 1,200–2,000 and 3.90V/cell should provide 2,400–4,000 cycles."
"In terms of longevity, the optimal charge voltage is 3.92V/cell. Battery experts believe that this threshold eliminates all voltage-related stresses; going lower may not gain further benefits but induce other symptoms."
"Most chargers for mobile phones, laptops, tablets and digital cameras charge Li-ion to 4.20V/cell. This allows maximum capacity, because the consumer wants nothing less than optimal runtime. Industry, on the other hand, is more concerned about longevity and may choose lower voltage thresholds. Satellites and electric vehicles are such examples."

4.1V provides 85-90% of full charge and 4.0V provides 70-75%. Something to consider if you're not planning super long trips and have chargers available.
Marketers know consumers are greedy and want the "most", so they have to find an optimal charge cap that will satisfy what consumers want while also still remaining marketable. 300-500 cycles is considered the "norm" at this point (charging to full 4.2V), but definitely not as efficient. This is also why battery health apps on your laptop only allow you to charge your battery to 60% - it's near that 3.92V optimal discharge cap.
I apologize that this got super long-winded.

I need to get 1 or 5 next FT order. Out of 7 items in my current order, all are ready to ship, except the 30*2/40 wire. I'm being patient as that was my whole reason for doing the order
I snuck these in:
$2.19 Resin 810 Drip Tip - 16mm at FastTech - Free Shipping
They're 810, but I wanna try them on either an Axial or the JK Mini. If the bore is too huge, they will be airmailed to Sydney.
They've been super generous with shifting my stuff around to get some stuff out the door. If you put in a ticket for that order and ask them to ship everything that's currently "Ready to Ship", they will at no extra charge. Mind you, there's a 24-48 hour processing time, so if the ETA for the item(s) you're waiting for is no longer than 2 or 3 days, it's rather moot.I need to get 1 or 5 next FT order.

I'm definitely hard on my batteries.
I charge to 4.2v @ 2A, which reduces their cycles a lot. But it means I'm only charging them supervised, which is purely for piece of mind.
My new batteries go in my unregulated/mech mods. If I'm pulling them at 3.6v or below, I'm happy with the coil resistance I'm using. If I'm pulling them at 3.8v, then I change to a lower ohm coil.
After 6-9 months, I buy a new sets of batteries for the mech/unregulateds, and the old batteries go into my regulated mods. In a regulated mod, I usually pull at 3.2v-3.4v depending on the mod.
And if I would stop buying new setups, I wouldn't need so many batteries on the go!
FT staff are worth their weight in gold. They've already switched one line in that order for me, that went from Ships in 2 days, to Ships in the next blue moon
I can't stop smashing the refresh button on all the 17 and USPS symbols spread across the top of my browser. 
What a pickup line Ange! I'm sure it's been thought of before, but I should ask the next customer service rep how much they weigh, lol!FT staff are worth their weight in gold. They've already switched one line in that order for me, that went from Ships in 2 days, to Ships in the next blue moon
Oh wait, I read that wrong. They shifted it around and now it's taking longer? Or do you mean when they have an item Ready to Ship, and then another item in the order goes back into restock status?
Nah they nuked a long wait period item, and switched it with one that was in stock.
The item holding it up should be ready to ship tomorrow Or else I'll nuke that and get something else
Jungle FlavorsI've decided I'm going to stop using all VG/PG products and just vape pure concentrate. Honeydew everything!
But for real, do you have a recommendation on best honeydew concentrate other than what the reviews are saying?
Flavorah wild melon
Medicine Flower
The flv wild melon has a bit of watermelon to it but the honeydew is the top note for me. Overall an excellent flavor. JF is a ripe sweet pure honeydew. MF I don't have but those that use it and love honeydew juices unanimously swear it's the best available. I will say I don't regret the money I've spent on any of my MF flavors; they are superb and cost effective considering how little you use per mix.
I'm also pretty hard on my batteries. I charge at 2A as well, but am going to try my best to take them off when they reach the 3 out of 4 bars from now on. I also constantly charge the battery in my phone to 100% as well. Should probably start making a habit of lowering the recharge cap on all these batteries. I think I'm gonna order another 20 18650s since they're so cheap right now. /cry
Niiiiiice!Nah they nuked a long wait period item, and switched it with one that was in stock.

I shall buy some of all then. I absolutely love honeydew flavors.
