Btw, I'll Def be taking your advice on the 18350's. So do u stack them or just use 1 in the short mode? That might be a silly question [emoji55]...rookie here lol

No such thing as a silly question. There are seasoned veterens that don't understand when stacking batteries works best. IMO I got the zmax to work in mini mode. I like small mods. I got tired of changing out 4 batteries a day pretty quickly. I got a couple of 18490/18500 and they were better, still didn't last a whole day, which also wore thin.

Then I came in here and learned about stacking 2 18350's and the sea parted. I kid you not. I had a whole new vape experience that quickly became #1 (including my provari). At the MoVapes price I've boughted 3 more, 2 for friends and 1 to backup my backup. I have tried explaining why stacking is so cool in the zmax (not all mods work well with stacked batteries) and quite frankly, it doesn't work. Stacked batteries have been abused in the past with mods that were not designed to be used that way. The Zmax was designed for them. I think it's our little secret in this corner of the web.

So IMO, you'll either want the long or short use of Zmax. I wouldn't bother getting a middle sized battery. At least try it out first. You may want to sink your money into a nice atty or a backup Zmax instead.

I haven't noticed much difference between AW and Efeast. I think the main difference is where you buy them so you don't get caught with rewrapped counterfiets. No ebay, no ali ....'s, etc. RTD, Wong has an order thread on another forum, Illum supply (or something, they just changed names). etc. Know your source.

I glad I get through to some people!!

My goal has been to make peoples vaping experience better... I persited when people call me crazy.. And now look sigelies new 100&150w are series/stacked batteries... Blows all the competition away...

People are starting to realize the truth... The storm of misinformation is ending. Makes my job a lot easier. :)

I don't know but we can guess that as long as they sell well enough somewhere in the world, they will still make them. I can't imagine any USA retailer having them any more though.

I still see them. There was a link above showing a V5 in what looked like black chrome. I've also seen some of the telescoping ones in colors (the interior tube was silver, kinda weird IMO). So someone is messing around with them (I thought Sigelei had a couple of factories???) I was kinda disapointed that Pbusardo and Dimitri's trip didn't include a visit to Sigelei. I guess SJ is going to have to do it for us.

I find it hard to believe too with this push on higher wattages. I can't deciede if that's a passing phase or not. It's kinda rude that the newest tanks won't work on 99% of what I already own. (I'm not into doing my own coils). I'm not very enthusastic about anything without a replaceable battery < $100 right now. I've been looking.

And why should I feel forced into buying something new just for a new tank system? All I really wanted was 22mm.

I saw pbusardos review in the sigelie 100 or 150 and he couldn't explain why he couldn't run it down in 2 and a half days... P get with it, series/stacked batteries is the ticket, toss out the misinformation..

People think stacking doesn't get you any extra longevity and its dangerous....:facepalm: .. Actually just yesterday in another thread some body came at me with that.. All I can say is.. You obviously haven't tried it... Yes 2 800mah batteries last easily more than twice as long as one 2000mah battery.

Someone actually said you would only get like hour or two off stacked 18350 at 6v.. Lol

One of the reasons that I got the SVD 2 was that the Sig was so long and heavy with the stack. Holy crap it's a lightweight compared to the SVD. But I figure I can leave the Sig at home stacked for the Rogue and carry the SVD to work.

My Sig fire switch gives me fits some days, others it's fine.

I can go to 6 volts/24 watts with the Sig and 20watts with the SVD.

I didn't get the need for higher watts till I got the Rogue. 30ga coils and nothing at 11w max on the MVP. Better at 15w in the Sig but the battery drops fast. Great on stacked at 5 volts.
