Grrr........ took 7 days just to get through the X-Ray scanner. Someone probably kicked the plug loose and they couldn't figure it out.
No pic, no ship
Poor Ithaka is still at the back of the line

ZMAX clone? Even though it only fits 16mm batteries 16340x2 (from discussion says it can hold a 17mm battery so maybe a 17650 [yes, they do have em! ])

Still waiting for my order from Sept 2. Already got one order since then. Maybe ill get the one I ordered last night before the one from Sept. Wouldn't mind getn my MVP sometime soon! Hope the foil trick works.

I don't see where I've made any accusations. I'm simply pointing out that the tracking number is inactive. My beef is that orders made after mine are already in the hands of the buyers while I can't even get a working tracking number. I understand that stuff happens but that is small consolation.

What other tracking systems are there to track a shipment from them?

From Ozark a few pages back.

Thinking it may be a good beginner one.

Hy folks, although I am aware about the shipping issues they have right now, I want to buy these Trustfire 14500 IMR but I couldn't find any opinion about them in here. I'm not sure how many people have bought them, I'm just wondering how are they holding up?
The other option would be these batteries : US14500V

General ECF consensus is not to use anything with Fire in them. I am not saying I agree with or disagree with it. I am sure many people use them.

Also cause I just clicked on it.. I would never buy an "as is" battery to use in a apv that I put to my mouth. They have their use... just not in an apv.

I myself use panny 18650pd and AW 18350s.

Blue what is the C rating on the panny 18650pd ?

I have been sore tempted by that battery for awhile now

I think things are smoothing out a bit. To encourage those waiting and hoping, here are my recent orders. No batteries in either package. Hope those missing their orders get some info/packages soon.

They are unprotected but I believe you can get them protected with a different discharge rating. I use them in a SVD. Will use them in my nemy clone with a smok kick.. but plan on the nemy to just be a 18350 with kick using AWs.

BTW C rate for those that don't know. This dude explains it better than I ever could. Also please correct me if I am wrong.

John Dunning · California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
I have a slightly different view. As I understand it there is a "nominal capacity" of a cell, for example 10 Ah. The C rate is defined as the current to discharge the nominal capacity in 1 hour, so it would be 10 A. The C/2 rate is 5 A. The 2C rate is 20 A. However, it is not likely that the 2C rate will discharge the cell in one half hour. Probably the capacity realized at the 2C rate will be less than 10 Ah. So we cannot say that 20 A will discharge the cell in 1/2 hour. Rather it is a defined rate, not a result of an experiment. Correct me if I am wrong about this. Thank you.

Poor Holly i keep checking here to see if you got your order yet...I think yours may be one of the earliest ordered and still not received. Hang in there! We will all celebrate with you when it finally comes

I know. I actually felt guilty when my crappy clearos that I ordered around the same time got here.

it's just my luck, I tell you,,,,,,,,

My husband jokes that he's going to make me get OUT of line at the store because any line I get into comes to an immediate, grinding halt.

The screen and brush tells me that's a herbal vaporizer. I have no idea how it would work with liquid (and see no reason why it wouldn't) but you may have issues explaining it to a cop who knows the difference (of course you may have issues explaining an ecig to a cop who doesn't know the difference).

ETA, read the discussion thread. I'd avoid it unless I was looking for something to recoil to be a herbal. (Unless I wanted to buy it to show my nephew, a cop, the difference.)

I couldn't resist.... now I have 5 orders out in the pipeline

AND...

I don't drip and drive.

Yeah advertising as liquid/dry herb/ gel. I like the 15 drops they say you can put in it. The air holes on the screw portion. It also looked easier than the others to get familar with. To the dry herbs.. who knows what is in the liquid of our tanks. Heck one could fill it with pure grain and sneak it into a concert in their tank then fill up a drink cup.

Any tips on an easy dripper type that would be fool proof in messing around with. I really don't want to redrill holes for airflow in them.

Want to try the mt3s but am afraid that it'll get used as much as the old evods.


Also trying to talk myself into something beyond ego's. One of those "If it aint broke don't fix it" kind of deals.
