You "could" use a protected Li-Ion battery in your regulated mods if you were only using lower power settings. However, once you attempt to use higher power by adjusting the power settings, you can put stress on those batteries, as they are not designed to have burst energy release like IMR batteries are. Some regulated mods recognize the protective circuits in protected batteries as a short and may not fire, from what I've been told.

Hust trying too help:

You also can use IMR batteries in a mechanical mod. Arguably as safe or safer than a protected battery, but they would not have the extended battery capacity for long battery time like a protected battery generally has. See, there are tradeoffs with both types of chemistry.

Little old lady hissy fits can be quite fun to watch:D

All that experience often makes for an impressive tirade.

:evil: The world has no idea of what will befall you all if there is one more protected/unprotected/button top/flat top/exploding/not exploding/suicidal/perfectly safe/nite-schmite/sub-arctic battery post :evil:

That's why I buy my batteries locally and not from FT :D

I have seen so many conflicting views on which Panasonics are best I just gave up even trying to understand what the differences are :confused: at least with AW IMRs I know what I'm getting.

I prefer 93/7 turkey opposed to chicken because it tastes better 60% of the time...every time. According to my Canadian source It is more stable on the gas grill and produces more savory. Does anyone know if Fasttech carries it? I can't seem to find it so I submitted a request @ here.

Love ya, VTEC

If I spend $20 on some steel and O-rings and fire up the lathe am I making a clone or an original?

I should have explained myself better, i'm not going to pay 92 when coops and earlier preorders went for 60 :p if you decide to fire up the lathe i would gladly pay 60 or even 70 for a Myk original :p

I was wondering because they're starting to all look alike.
Now that I'm thinking of it I don't know if I can make metric threads for 510. That kills that plan.

Seriously...how many times do you have to be asked to stop and take it to PM? This is a public fasttech topic, not a venue for your private argument about whose "battery" is bigger. Just drop it already. All you are doing is cluttering up the topic and confusing people. Everything that needs to be said to stay ON TOPIC and RELEVANT has been said already. Please. Just. Stop. We get it. You have a different view on batteries then someone else. Take it to a relevant thread or to PM, you aren't doing anything to help anyone in this thread anymore. Even if it was helpful and new info at this point it wouldn't matter because no one wants to see any more of this "discussion".

If you're serious about doing it, there is a post in the DIY section about the tap or whatever it's called you need to make those threads.

I also am starting the think the "clone" thing is getting silly. They word is getting a bit to flexible and its starting to cover to wide range of products.

That is a hybrid and IMR-like but not an IMR as I have already said. You're not pushing hybrids, you're pushing IMR. You've dismissed everything but IMR. Everyone no matter what they have needs IMR, remember?
Are you saying you don't know what you're saying again or just admitting you're wrong and the new battery tech is OK to use?

Please don't get him to start sending me PMs. He's not willing or able to learn and definitely has little or nothing to teach.

I know I can get a 7X.5 die but that's not as fun (or free) as being able to cut the threads. I've got a .019" thread setting, it might do it.

ETA, And my first clone will be a clone of FT's IGO-L clone. :)

It is simple, if your lathe has been set up in China you are making clones and are unethical and quite possibly responsible for starving 1st world grandmothers, if you set your lathe up in, say, the US then you have produced an original and the more you charge, the more your customers will do your advertising for you.

OMG, so true! LMAO. In my opinion, "there is nothing new under the sun" Do you think out of the 9 billion+ people on this planet that you are the only person to ever have an idea? And when you do, do you think that no one else will ever have the same idea? If you want a TRUE original, worthy of charging obscene amounts of money for, get it patented. Then, in paying for the patent, you have justified the outrageous cost of your product. Just slapping a serial number on it, doesn't make it original or justify an extra $100 on the price tag. You spent maybe, at most, what?...$20 in materials? Come off it, and stop crying. Either move to mass production or stop crying about it. Supply and demand is one thing, "status symbol" is another.

If you really want people to rush to your product, make it quality, make it cheap and have a line waiting at the door for each and every one you produce. You want to make money? Invest in a shop and start mass producing it. If it truly is quality, and something innovative, people will be forced to only use it. Why have a select few vapers paying gobs of money, when you can have ALL vapers using your idea exclusively because it just works.

The thing with fasttech is, they have found a loophole in the system and it works. People aren't patenting their ideas and getting cloned. Fasttech is simply a vessel we all use to find these products, priced the way they should be, and purchase them.

That's why they make Chevy's and Ford's. Some just want what works and others are willing to shell out more money for what they perceive as better or more unique. It's all good.

Most of us here on this thread definitely fall more in the function over form group. We will except clones, or long shipping times or Chenglish barriers to shave a few bucks off of our vaping budget.
