Probably not. The issue appears to be with loose cells.
It always takes a few day for the tracking to get into the system and you can tell that your package isn't really moving as fast as we would like them too.

I have an order I placed on sept 2 that got caught up in customs. It was only a mod and some drip tips. Finally showed up today with it still showing in San Fran. What a long trip that took. Just an FYI if anyone is waiting on packages from them.

Samsung INR18650-20R 3.6V 2000mAh
seen some good reviews for using in a mech.dont know about the chemistry but if we use safety fuse there is protection from shorts and any coil above 0.4 ohm the battery can handle it easily
Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh
if you are interested in higher mah these beat PDs and max discharge rate is 6.8A.
even 1.5 ohm coil @ 6V the battery discharge rate or whatever is 4A so your are with in the the battery limits.
in the beginning even i thought that NCRPDs are the best battery for VV/VW devices after seeing grimmgreens vlog i have changed my mind
ordered them on 10/5 4:00am and FT packed it and sent me tracking no by 10:30pm.
i have been checking SG post website at least 5 times a day and it has not accepted the package yet.
You mean all my yaking didn't influence you at all?
At some point someone gave me something to think about in another thread, the drain under power, but that doesn't really apply to the VV/VW like it does with a mech. I also have no way to measure that and don't care enough to pay for a way.
So I've got a PD (as opposed to the A) in my sub-ohm mech (.9Ω) at the moment and if there is any difference I can't tell. Of course the PD's drain is higher than the A's and .9Ω is there to leave a safety cushion for the A, maybe that limit would show if I wanted to go lower.
Amps are the only place I'm seeing where PD is superior.
As far as mah and PD vs B vs A I'm down to longevity of the battery now. When new they all act like their claimed ratings. They all seem to drop off quickly which makes me lean towards the higher mah because after a few charges you may lose 100 puffs (yes, 100 puffs and not that many recharges). I'm hoping it will take a year or more before I get which one is better in this aspect figured out.
I also believe that because of my experience with the claimed "safe hybrid" CGR not being so safe when oxidizing a coil and at least 2 of the NCRs powering through that job without a problem that NCRs are the way to go, just watch the amp limits. I'm really glad I didn't jump on the CGR bandwagon to snatch them up before they were discontinued.
Off to see if I can find that video.
The fiasco at FT has gotten much worse now...BOTH HK Post and Singapore Post are NOT allowing ego or any lithium batteries to pass through and are returning them to FT, as announced today (9 October) by BOTH shippers and FT staff....FT then wants to either give U a store credit or try again to reship the order using a new tracking number...a few people have done Paypal claims and had their monies refunded within 10-12 days lately..FT will not do normal refunds until at least an 8 week waiting period..
If I ever receive my current order from FT, I will not be using them for a long while until this situation is ever cleared up completely and ensurances are made to not allow this to happen ever again....it appears that FT is being targeted for poor packaging as well and themselves created this customs crackdown and tons of returns to FT by Singapore Post and HK Post officials......I will be using US vendors in the future and pay the extra..
BTW...even non Ecig products are being rejected by postal and customs officials for poor packaging...FT has definitely been targeted and has some serious issues now and for the past 6 weeks, which just got worse today..

grimmgreen on NCRB
Well, the great 'Worldwide Ithaka Clone Race' between Fasttech and Vaporbreak is over.
The winner is:
FASTTECH in SEVEN, i repeat, SEVEN days...
Even got some movement out of my "Posted" package, so weird.

I received another FT order today. It was just tweezers, drip tips, and diamond coated Dremel bits. It took the usual 9-10 days from the shipping date. Things are still working, but I wouldn't suggest getting batteries of any kind from them.
I would love to comment on which batteries they sell are safer than others and which have mAh that are worth using in a mech or VV/VW device, but since shipping them is such a problem the discussion is almost pointless. As for what we can expect to receive, I'm placing another order today for a few small trinkets, gotta love that free shipping.

WHY did you have to go and post that ... now the damn thing is on my WISHLIST. ;-)
The curious but suicidal side of me wants to see if I can walk to the shops and back vaping on that.
Cant see me getting much time to explain the real meaning lol.
