Since this has been brought up a few times, here's my opinion on eFest 18350 batteries....
STRICTLY my opinions....
So, based on absolutely no scientific fact whatsoever, but having used several AW IMR and eFest IMR, I've decided I won't be ordering the eFests again.
Though in 18350 size, the eFest is rated 100mah higher, I personally have gotten less sustainable performance from them than I do my AW's... The both come off the xtar charger at appropriate voltages and seem to perform the same out of the gate, but the eFests just don't seem to maintain that same performance for nearly as long as the AW's do.
I've not been able to find complete specs on the eFests, but my guess is the AW's outperform them from a full specification POV as well.
They are less expensive, no doubt, but my money will be on AW IMR's only going forward.

I don't have any experience with any other batteries, but although I have 16 x 18350 AW IMR's, I have been using the same 4 since the end of April, and they're still going strong. Don't ask why I have 16. I don't know why either
Yeah, I've only had to dispose of one AW so far, and have several from about the same timeframe.. Well worth the extra few bucks IMHO...

you know me too well lol, 5 illuminatis on site, now!! rest posted tomorrow at scheduled time
congrats Emma....I mean Tim
I would like to get something off my chest. Why is it that you can buy a pv put it in the classies after you vaped it for 4 months and get over retail for it. I understand collectors items. But, come on where is the depreciation. But, people pay it so it wont stop. It just sucks that guys like me cannot experience a used mod because they actually cost more. Sorry had to vent
all for you...well, and anyone else that wants to see one too
LOL NM, I was waay too slow
I would not mind paying above retail if it's a LE or discontinued unit. But prices these days are better then like 2-3 months ago imo.
I hate to break it to you buddy, but....you! Picture Peter Fonda in Easy Rider. That's Ripple. Your ... is grass and he's the lawn mower
hehehe....from the pics and vids, he looks more like Tommy Chong...
There is a mod the guys he used it everyday for 2 months and has many scratches including the tank that cannot be buffed out. I am only asking retail. Thanks and the mod is still being made.
on another note...got some nice Bulli tips comin' soon.........5 total, but these 2 will look good on my red dragon and HR

So your already prepared for their arrival? I REALLY hope I get a HR, I already had a custom tip on order with Sagewood for the Red Dragon, so last night I jumped the gun and placed another custom order for a Demon tip for the HR

I have a couple of AW IMR 18650's that are about 2 years old and still doing well. I have 10 of them all together, and rotate them. And I always check them when they come off the charger. I'll stick with them even if they are a bit higher priced.
They recently changed the rules on the classies so you couldn't get more than 20% over retail, unless it's a limited edition or no longer being made. The rules are stickied right at the top of the classified section.
Goood score on the illuminati's tonight!!! They are definately going to be beautiful. I don't like to get into the talk of what people are charging for their used mods, cuz everyone has an assho, opinion. If you see a nice mod that you are interested in but do not want to pay that much, find where the fans hangout, and get to know some of them. then when they trust you rob em blind.
How about a 5 wrap of 28awg with 400 mesh?
Try a 4/3 wrap 28awg instead and tell everybody I told you to do it or else
sooooo you're rubbing it in now, huh? I DIDN"T get one bro
LMFAO....ROFL....dude that blows donkey's BIG TIME
Better lick next time (pun intended)- Status
