soldering in tight spaces is not a talent inherent in most of us!

Is this true of most mods that use the 18650?

I'm lost...what should we be seeing and/or hearing???

watch the blog for updates

yup! as bear said they are considered disposables! unless you know somebody who loves to tinker and is willing to take the risk as a favor to you there's no way to make the exchange of built-in batteries feasible

 

[Katmar]

So, all these people who are stocking up on 18650s probably know how OR know someone who knows how to get them in and out? So, the mods would be disposable because of this?
I am so confused. There are TOO many choices out there...

Some 18650 mods allow for easy changing... like a flashlight.

there's 2 different kinds of mods. One kind you take the battery out and charge it, and the other kind you can't remove the battery to charge it, you charge with a usb cable. The ones with the battery you can't remove are the disposable kind

Good morning MadO, tried to say it earlier but lost my connection


The iStick 100W TC is my favorite, does pretty much everything available at the moment but if you just tootle puff with it it will last a looooong time on those two 18650's

I believe there's more mods that you can change the batteries out now then the disposable kind. I think, I may be incorrect

So, which mods have the battery you can take out and charge? I'm talking the ones with 18650 batts.

I held one of those and it felt heavy for my hands. ( I have nerve damage in my hands is why I like the lighter ones ) that's why I was thinking of the 60w one

Pretty much any that's advertized as ..."takes 18650 batteries"....that usually means they are changeable, and remove

They are a goodly size but I find them quite comfortable

The 60W is one I haven't owned, have no experience with those

 

[AG51]

If the mod description says ...Charges with usb cable... usually means you can't remove the battery

it only takes one 18650 instead of the 2 in your 100w a bit smaller

And the FDA can take up to 1 year to approve/deny the PMTA. So, if somebody
waited until (2years-1day) to file, can the product still be sold until such time
the PMTA is approved/denied... another year... making the entire timeframe
just under THREE years?

That ^ was just confirmed, I believe.

That point...uhm...not the way I'd view it.

My mod has removable batteries, but can charge with a USB cable via built-in charger. So you have to check if you can remove and change the battery or not!

That's why I said...."usually"....I know there's some that you can charge both ways. But with confusion already stated she had I was trying to explain a kinda general rule of thumb for her

What mod do you have, Atty?

Thinking, since the vape-pocolypse is upon us, that if it gets through congress, I'll get a mech mod and a gross of protection-fuses. Cuz dang.
