"BLF" code will give you 5% disc on battery,charger,flashlights etc

dont know regarding the gift wrap and hard protection box sorry

but dont go for NCR18650B 3400mAh instead go for NCRPD 2900mah
i have read in some threads that this battery is best for flash lights and all the extra mah that is boosts is usable under 3.2V which is not possible in our mods.

but these battery have NCR chemistry so if they are shorted and if you exceed their discharge rate you can face a explosion.
CGRCH 2250mah have a hybrid chemistry which are equal to safer IMR chemistry .

Figures. I've been trying that code and couldn't get it to work. Now that my battery order is made it works. Oh well, it's only $1.40.

No need to mention discharge rate and explosion. The poster has an eVic on their list, which is a 2.5 amp switch and short protection. The B is one of the official batteries for the eVic.

How many puffs do you get with a B vs a PD?

I might have screwed up :?: I ordered one of these: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1368500 but I don't have an eGo style charger. Do they come with a charger? It says nothing about one in the listing.
I might be in the same boat. We need Shannanagans to tell us if she needs a dedicated charger for it (although she may have bought the kit)

reading the reviews and discusions on FT users who have the device said that an ego charger worked so the one I bought for my vv spinner I'd assume would work for it https://www.fasttech.com/products/1270407

IDK all i know is NCR18650PD has 2900mAh and is newer version than NCRB from panasonic and it is a high-current cell that can sustain 10A load, just like the Panasonic CGR18650CH

But you're never going to see a 10A load with an eVic's 2.5A switch, right? Like computers and bottlenecks? This electronics stuff confuses me.

I ordered both just to do a puff count test with my eVic.
Then if I can learn what does what I'll see if I can see any differences with my Vamo and dual coil rebuildables which should be able to make use of any higher drain capacity to see if the Vamo is a limiter below what any of the batteries can provide.
I figure if the CGR and Samsung I have are both satisfying, any suitable Panasonic 18650 is worth FastTech prices to try. I'll end up with 9 newish 18650s in total so I should have about 18 days worth of battery life. I figured it couldn't hurt to buy them both to test.

Got a few of these Pyrex DCT in today. The tanks seem pretty well built and are glass. The ones I received did not have the writing on them that made a lot of people in the FT discussions think they are SmokTech. The tank holds the included carto real well, I don't have any others to test until I make a trip to my local vape shop. The cartos that I got with mine are defiantly not SmokTech as they have 2 giant slots in them not holes and look like a horizontal coil design more like a kanger carto. They are working fine so far but have a funny taste to them. Even if I end up tossing all the carto's that come with them these things are still one hell of a deal.

It kinda works as a pass through. If its completely dead you'll have to wait for the battery indicator to show one bar before it'll fire. It's more something that you can vape while it charges rather than a true pass through but still does the job. What I did with mine is just never let it die completely and I never had an issue vaping while it was plugged in. The USB looking thing is the same as my portable scanner and an old cell phone I had. It's not exactly the norm but I've seen it before. Whatever the case, the battery works fine. Sometimes you have to pull the center pin on a clearo to get a connection in the deep 510 well but other than that I never had a problem with mine.

I'm keeping on topic, this is all in my last FT orders, which BOTH just shipped. :banana:
They were threatening to hold the shipment with the batteries and drippers because the cones were "in stock" rather than "ships next day".
The race is on.

Not that it really matters as far as the testing goes since the drippers were in with the batteries.
It is going to be great having 9 batteries. No more worries about what has how much of a charge, just grab a 2 pack of extra batteries and go.

My money is on the B's, and the Vamo will be the limiting factor as far as drain goes for both. But I won't complain if cheaper is better.

I also saw a test with stacked 18350s vs 18650 that I question for real world results because of firing frequency, but FT doesn't have any 18350s that are good and the questioner's eVic won't take stacked 18350s so that test would be off topic :)

I have a Vamo that I purchased for my wife (she is scared of my mechanical mods). It took around 7 to 8 days to get it and she was able to use it for about a week and it just died. I contacted FastTech and they immediately sent me an RMA and told me to ship it to them and I would have a new one shipped to me when they receive the broken one. I was really impressed with their customer service. I will do business with them again.
