Thanks, so sounds like i am ok using the NCR PDs I linked in mech or vv/vw
Thanks for everyone's help

Jerms,
You made me order the V3 mod, the DID clone and the NCR-A batteries.
I sure hope that clone is worth the $8 to dip my toes into mesh and RBAs.
I found something that convinced me the NCR-A has a high enough amp limit to work in a Vamo. I'll see if they work to oxidize mesh in the mech. If so unless you're pushing mechs to crazy limits (.8ohm, 6a is 28.8w and what I've decided to believe is the working limit is 6.2a) the NCR18650A is safer chemistry than IMR in case of a hard short (unless the videos showing it are scams and I don't know why they would be).

See now you got me going to look for the NCR18650A's I want to be able to use in both vv and mech. I can order more PDs as back ups but would be nice to try something else if they work as good or better for safety
LOL
LOL
Whoops the protected are too long for me...so looks like I am sticking with the PDs
Nothing wrong with the PD's for what you want.
I don't really know if the A's are any good, I'm fairly sure they'll work in a VV, I think they'll work in a mech. I'm putting my money up to test them just like I did with PD vs B (I guess nobody else is willing to put their claims to the test).
You'll have to wait for the results.
I won't be testing the short circuit claims although it could pay the neighbors back for the 4th if the videos are fake
I got unprotected. If the short circuit video is real I see no need for a protection board, that's like having protection on an IMR.
BTW, you probably can't use most protected batteries in at least some VV/VW. That was the dated information, a hold over from mech days where you had to use protected (if you had a brain) that people are parroting today.
A better way to say it is don't use old standard unprotected Li-Ion batteries for ANY mod, use modern safe designs. For mechs you are OK using old protected designs but even then you're better off using modern ones.

Didnt i see you say earlier mods were unsafe?
So I got these batteries for a diablo clone, I'm thinking I got the wrong ones, what do you guys think?

Has anyone got one of these yet: $36.11 TECS MSK-2000 VW Adjustable OLED Electronic Cigarette Battery Compartment with LED Flashlight - brown / 0.55" OLED / 1*18650 / 1*18350 / 2*18350 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping?
It seems like a good idea. Just wondering if anyone's tried one yet.

No. Early mods were the same basic mechs they are today. With batteries that could go into violent thermal meltdown when over drained they were as dangerous as they still are. It's not the mods that were/are unsafe but using the wrong batteries in them that was unsafe.
Today battery tech is taking huge leaps, probably because of the race to make the first viable electric car.
Back then "the right battery" was Li-ion with a protection circuit. Then it was Li-Mn. Then hybrids were acceptable. It's quite possible that NNP (NCR-A) is the next "right battery".
SVD amp limit
Remember you're not getting the full potential out of a SVD or even more so a Vamo with a 18650 battery. SVD cuts off @ 4.8 volts with a 1.5ohm coil in 18650 mode. With stacked 18350's running the same 1.5ohms SVD will do 5 volts and the Vamo will get you close to 6 volts.
I don't doubt that someone hasn't already tried this and got away with it, prompting FastTech to cover their tails on product returns.
I just noticed that my last order has been shipped from Singapore and not Hong Kong...weird...
My T3S's should be here today. Is there anything I should do to them before I fill them up? I'll wash them out with hot water before hand. Should I boil or anything?
Washing them out in hot water should be enough. I've found it more than sufficient. Boiling is probably overkill...
I just ordered a V3 Mod and a few RBA and atties, couldn't resist...
I'm pretty sure the quality will be crap, but their free shipping and scary low prices convinced me somehow haha
Will let you know how it turns out!
Order is said to be shipped on 8/9/13

MVP arrived today! 7 days china to CT!
Anyone use these Iclear30s? I'm liking it so far, anyone have any tips with them ?

The iclear 30's perform really well, you get a long life from the coil heads too, but being dual coil, they can get through a lot of juice rather quickly though, My iclear 30 is my all day vape on the SVD.
You did and didnt,its best too use IMR types of high drain ''unprotected'' safe chemistry batts in mechs,more power,also if the safety circut fails in the ''protected'' batts,they explode,the IMR just vent with no explosion.You can still use them.
I love the iClear30, and have been using mine ever since my MVP arrived. But as has been said, it goes through liquid VERY quickly, and the effect is very strong.
So as not to end up with nic OD, I've had to cut down the strength of the liquid I use in mine from 11 mg to 6 and sometimes to O. Liquid also takes on a caramelized colour (not flavour, just colour) fairly quickly, too.
Be prepared for a major increase in liquid consumption, but the result is very nice!
