    So... to get that free shipping (a $12.65 savings), how much extra did you spend, over
    and above your original intended purchase?

    Not being "mean"... because I do the same thing. I go in... put things in the cart...
    and they say "spend $xx.xx more to get free shipping!!!"... Amazon comes to mind.
    So, I look around and put a few more things in just to "save" on shipping. But what
    I spent extra costs more than what original shipping would have been.

    They know EXACTLY what they are doing.

    I just got a few more batteries than I intended, but, I would have needed them down the road, anyway, so not too bad...my ScrumptiousSweetCinnamonSugarBear..:)

    Be careful when using high-capacity 18650 batteries!
    It's tempting to use very high capacity batteries, over 3000mAh, to try to get more vaping time before needing to recharge. But there aren't any 18650 batteries with a capacity over 3000mAh that have a rating above 10A!

    Batteries like the Panasonic 3200mAh NCR18650B look like a great way to get more vaping time but they're only rated at 6.4A. And the Efest, Imren, and other Chinese-company high-capacity batteries are just rewraps of 10A Panasonic and LG batteries.

    If you vape at under 20W (per battery) or so then you can use the 3200mAh Panasonic NCR18650B.

    If you vape at under 35W (per battery) or so then you can use the over-3000mAh Efest's, Imren's, etc. But Panasonic/Sanyo NCR18650GA, LG MJ1, and LG MH1 batteries are less expensive and possibly a higher grade.

    Can you vape at higher power levels with these 6.4A and 10A batteries? Of course! The batteries won't explode and your face won't melt off if you do.

    But the voltage sag is so severe that at over about 5A-7A you can actually get more vaping time from the 3000mAh LG HG2 and Samsung 30Q. This is because their internal resistance is lower than the over-3000mAh batteries. This allows them to run more efficiently, with less voltage sag, and that means they run for longer before your mod says low/weak battery.

    So, know your batteries and vape safe.
