k guys, here's where we're at. This week was assembly mode. I'm at about 82.73% done as i type, and i did some math on some paper and put myself at 100% monday morning... so that has me giving this metric ton on BB's to the office to pack and start shipping on Monday... I had a few blows this week. One, the polishers managed to destroy 50 some BB bodies... like flat kill them... that was kinda more of an insult than a setback,,, i have aluminum and Ruby is pretty well trained now so she can just poop out some more... but it was just a slap in the face, i don't like my work destroyed... i'm over it.. but still, poo,,, the other blow was the loss of one employee that was moderately useful. The real story of his absence is pretty stupid and unremarkable, so i have modified it slightly... he was abducted by the Norwegian mafia and held ransom in umm Peru... but the ransom letter got got wet and the number to call for details on his return was not legible... and they sent us his finger in a box..... yup....that's better. THAT was a bit of a hiccup, well just means i get less sleep, oh well. Regardless, if you are waiting for a magic tracking number, you can expect to find one starting monday, i have to be honest, i don't know how long packing these all up will take, this is a $h!t ton of BBs this round... but it will be really soon... hang tight. k, i'm back at it...

Hello fellow BB lovers! I have a battery question which I am sure has been brought up many times before. The 123 black batteries I have seem to be losing their race. I have charged them through many cycles and I think I need to replace. Regardless though I have never gotten very long off these guys, of course I am a heavy vapor.

Anyone know if the ICR 16340's 1000mah will work

Never heard about a 1000 mah for this size battery, sounds too good to be true! I can't tell more as I havn't receive BB yet I'm trying black Icr and red AW ImR I'll see which one's the best for me

Thanks! Yah I have seen and heard of them before and actually use the ICR 18650 in anothe mod however I was sure along the way someone was bound to have tried them. Hate to order them if they don't have the right specifications/chemistry or size.

I've noticed my AW batteries are starting to drop in voltage pretty quickly these days. 4.75v on a freshly charged pair hits so much harder than a half charged pair. Guess I've gotta replace em soon. Let me know how those amazon batteries work out for you Crocky!

Silent, if your meter is accurate you are overcharging the batteries and that will ruin them quickly. The charger should bring them to no more then 4.22 volts. As far as batteries go, I use the AW IMR red and run about 4-5 ml a day through my BB at 4.5v with a 2.5 ohm standard length DCC and normally change batteries once a day. They hit the same down to the last 2-3 vapes before they quit.

YMMV. :D

ETA: Here is a link to rolygate's battery page, it's worth spending 20 min or so to read through it as they can be dangerous if mishandled.

You are using these?
AW IMR16340 550 mAh IMR CR123 size LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The mah rating on them is lower than the black ICR 123 at 750 mah.
Interesting

It is time for me to order some new batteries so just exploring my options. I have to. Change out twice a day right now and that is with using another mod in rotation with my BB. I use the nitecore I4 charger so I am not sure what they are charging up to. Probably should check but it is my understanding these chargers stop at the expected charge output. Might need to look into another charger as well
