There are a lot of forgeries around at the moment due to the shortages caused by the pandemic.

what's a dodgy battery though?

Exactly what Charlie said. I have a Moli P26a that I posted about recently - 90 % sure it's a fake. It seems to have a max 1800mAh capacity, if that. I bought it brand new from a reputable retailer who wouldn't knowingly sell fakes.

Good morning Shinyville !!! :D

I'm back from nearly a month of being off the grid in nature. Riding and tending to horses and GSD's everyday. Peace and quiet. Perfect.

Once I got back into range my phone was blowing up alerting me to calls, texts and a surprise text from @NolaMel - paging me. lol ;)

Haha, y'all are well over a 100 pages since my last posts. Not even gonna try to play catch up. :lol:

I hope you are all well, enjoying Life and the Great vape(s). :wub:
Great to have you back SMT!!

    Morning shinies ;)

    I like the haku venna and the krma, but my current favorite is the narca. hussarII is a good one too.:)

    I always forget the NarCa RDA. And I only have 5 of them. :facepalm: It's on my top 3 too, decent well, flavour galore and more air than the Venna.

    I'm in need of some bottles:thumb: just 30ml gorilla bottles for my juice. And black bottles not clear ones!
    Any suggestions as to where I might get some?
    Bring on them links;)

    I use the LDPE chubby gorilla bottles as they are easy squeezy compared to PET. Vapo have them:
    30ml Chubby LDPE Bottle
    The 30ml is really skinny. I can mix straight into the 60ml bottle - just. But my pouring ability would need a funnel for the 30ml. Especially when the VG is cold :D

    well it's older than corona so... i've no idea, i mean i have been using them more intensively recently, adding another squonker into the rotation, but it's not like i ever use/charge less than a couple hours after i'd charge/used..

    I have moli 21700s and I’ll say this, even brand new, they do lose a little juice sitting. Before you try another, pop it in the charger and see if it’s still full. I think either it doesn’t happen with their 18650s or it’s not as noticeable or maybe I just haven’t paid attention.
    And I don’t know if it happens with other 21700s also because I only have the moli

    it didn't sit_ waited a few hours after chargning, put it in mod which showed full, and just gradually showed it emptying like a hundred times faster than usual...

    A hearty welcome back to SMT :wub:


    Man I love this Nautilus Prime pod system. By far my best pod RBA to. But the damn button is driving me bonkers...there really is no getting used to it. Can't wait for the Prime X (they corrected the placement) to arrive.

    sounds like a month well spent
    welcome back

    oh and that's probably a good idea on not catching up; there was a rather lengthy episode involving a protective case that no one should ever have to witness

    righto...Or you could take it to the local battery recycling bin. Maybe a hardware or electronics shop. Before I recycle I tape up both ends with plenty of electricians' tape.

    Hi Javichu. Someday you will have that Mercedes custom camper and will be able to go to places many folks have never been. At least I think it was a Mercedes, if my memory from last year, and in another thread (Asmodus), is correct. Not sure. Keep playing that lottery and who knows. If anyone deserves to win the Big One it's you. I will want to join you when you're ready to go. We would have a blast! Bit of warning, my NutSac shoulder bag gets to go too. :D

    What happened was that she had a dead battery and someone tried jump starting her with a cheap set of cables. The cables melted and her radio and 12v power outlet stopped working. She lives about 3 hours away but was home for a few days. Her boyfriend was supposed to check the fuses but she was working ten hour days all week and he's not good at fixing stuff so I got to look at it when she got home. She already had the battery replaced. It blew one fuse in the fuse panel then I had to take the stereo out and replace the 10 amp fuse in the back of the radio. Of course it had to be 90 degrees outside while I worked on it.
    nothing like a dad :wub:

    I’ll concede. But it’s weird, after Asmodus’s discount, the Minkin V3S comes out to around $36. VR sells it for


    I’ll concede. But it’s weird, Asmodus’s price on the Minikin V3S, after their discount, was about $36. VR has it for $50 so even with their 15% discount, that’s $42.50. I would think VR would at least match As’s lowest price. I was contemplating another white V3S and when I went to the As’s site, I found they were already shut down. So I went on VR’s site and found the V3S, but for the higher price. I couldn’t pull the trigger. :(
    no conceding necessary. we might never know the whole story. I would not have bought it at the Vaporange site either ;) I got one of the last they had and it is brown. My least fav color :-x But I love a Minikin :wub:
