HAH false alarm.

I will never understand china... these are actually CGR18650CH... they put a sticker over the original label on the battery shrink wrapping labeling them as 900mAH ICRs... I dunno why, maybe for shipping or something but I just took the stickers off one and it's identical to my other panasonic CGR18650CHs. what.. the... heck. Oh well, fury abated, panasonics will be back in stock tonight ><

OK, I'm a little spammy today, sorry... not that anyone reads this... I'm so lonely.... just kidding (not really, I'm a sad little monkey).

Anyway ;)

I've recieved my panasonics, my efests and... MY BOGE ORDER MADE IT FINALLY. Super excited about that. So, tonight I will be putting the following items up on the store.

Boge 2.0 Cartomizers (Restock)

Boge 2.0 XXL Cartomizers (NEW ITEM!)
These will fit int he extended tank for the AGR which will be back in stock in about two weeks but if you're looking for some more capacity out of your cartos, these are the quality boge build in a longer form factor!

The Xtar MPS1 Lion Battery charger (NEW ITEM!)
This is a single battery charger, 500mA output, can be connected to a USB port or plugged into the wall. It comes with 2 battery spacers and additional battery spacers will be available in the "Accessories" section of the store. It will charge the following batteries with the following number of spacers.
0 spacers: 14650, 17670, 18650, 18700
2 Spacers: 14500, 18490, 18500
3 spacers: 10440
4 spacers: 16340, 18350
5 spacers: 15270 (who uses those?)

Efest batteries. (NEW ITEM!)
I'm going to be carrying a wide range of Efest batteries in the future but for now, I'm going to be putting in stock the IMR 18350 800mAh, and IMR 18500 1100mAh. These are direct from Efest and the "labeled" version of their stock (not sure if they sell the unlabeled anymore but these are the good ones) As a recap on my stance on batteries... In my personal opinion and based on my personal testing and research Panasonic has some of the absolute best cells readily available to us, AW and the new Efests are sort of fighting it out these days as Efest has really stepped up their game. In testing the Efests, while not as good as the AWs in all tests have started to seriously catch up and the price on them is significantly lower. I consider these "value" IMRs. They're damn good but not the best, but for the price they can't be beat.

Speaking of...

Panasonic CGR18650CH 2250mAh Batteries (Restock)
My personal go to high drain 18650. These guys are absolute work horses, good drain characteristics, huge capacity for a high drain single cell battery, and they come in a stylish Gray color (lol). These are FLAT TOP batteries, as such they will not work in the Provari without a spacer. They will however work in the Zmax I used to sell and will work in the next item I'm about to list...

For all those batteries, what should we stick em in?

The CCTS (Chinese copper telescopic storm). A GGTS clone (NEW ITEM!).
First let me say... this is a clone of the GGTS and as such I have to pay a little homage to the GG line. They are works of art and feats of engineering. The GG devices are among the most well crafted items on the market today. This is a clone of the GGTS. It's a full telescopic device that will support multiple battery configurations. You may have seen some rumblings around the interwebs about this guy but I'm offering a little something extra on my store. I'll be carrying extra extension segments... why you might ask? See the configuration options at the bottom. (Note: The 'stock' item will come with 1 extension segment, extra segments can be purchased separately in the "Accessories" section of the store). This device has a pinky button on the side, a telescopic section, and a knurled and tapered top head. It is a 510 connector with a DEEP drip well. It has NO Ego threads so your T3's won't work. It looks freakin awesome with a vivi nova on top, they mate almost perfectly and the materials match up nicely :) As for configuration options...
18350: Device screwed all the way down (freakin tiny!)
18350+Kick By Evolv: device slightly extended.
18500: Device slightly extended.
18500+Kick by Evolv: Device fully extended, and depending on battery you 'may' have to use 1 extension section.
18650: Device extended + extension segment, in this configuration it is quite a bit shorter than an 18650 device like the provari/vamo, etc)
18650+Kick by Evolv: Extended + two extension caps (second purchased separately). In this configuration it is almost exactly the same length as the Sigelei Zmax with the short battery cap on it and noticeably lighter.

I've posted a bit on my thoughts about this item but after using it all last night and trying multiple configurations, taking it completely apart and putting it back together... I'm a fan. It's no GG, but it's like those efest batteries... not the BEST on the market but for the price, it can't be beat. A very solid Mech mod.

Pictures will be available on the store this evening and I will be announcing the official "live time" for the restock/newstock. I will get the product pages up as soon as possible so people can go oogle the new toys.

Looking forward to picking up that CCTS the second you put them up.

I've been looking for a reason to order from you again anyways.

Edit: How are the extensions for this thing threaded anyways? Can you thread them together, theoretically (though not advisable), and stack 18650's in it?

New items and restocks will go live at 9pm CST. Sorry this took so long, it's been a straight up crazy day.

Carth, yes... technically you could buy a bunch of them, stack em, and run dual 18650s.... dont :p lol

Science says I must, since you can do it with the GGTS + Extension Sleeve.

Mind testing it for me so I know how many to buy? I won't hold it against you if you don't want to, as I know stacking batteries is a frowned upon thing.

NOw that's a tidy coil! good job brother!

Thanks Lance...

Since my AGA-T has been vaping like a champ, I figured I'd give a go at the Petar K method hoping to loose less heat to the wick.

I spent a while and a couple of coils trying to replicate Petar K's process with no joy.
Then I found this video:

I knew there had to be an easy way! :)
Not saying that I'm not having a few issues, but the coil isn't one of them.
