Don't make the mistake of buying this, especially if you like LR.
Probaby won't be ordering any more for a bit, but what would you recommend. I have several 18650's now, but might need more in the future.

Finally got my 1.25ohm dual coils and now I am back in vapeing heaven. The 18650 last's a good long time. Not sure how long as I haven't run a battery down all the way before swapping it out for a fresh one but it still lasts over a day. The 14500 of course doesn't last as long with the 1.25. I'm not sure yet if I need to cary 1 or 2 spare batteries to make it all day as I have been using the 18650 more. The bigger batteries definitely preform a lot better with the high current draw of the 1.25.
I am working on my own prototype but I haven't gotten the parts and tools together that I need yet. =] I have two designs that I want to try. PWM and OKR.
It will probably be a couple of weeks before I get something usable together if that soon, I have a lot of stuff going on for work and also digging gardens for the wife. Maybe Romaniac will have something usable ahead of me =]
Would be very interesting to hear more from that prototype. I´m not a modder, just reach to know what PWM is. But then OKR, no idea what that could be.
Haha, somebody to offer a nice looking, good working, no "10 times push the bottun", VV unit, capable to work with 1.5 Ohm stuff, and at a reasonable price tag. Thats where many people, and I are looking for.
Actually I would probably recommend IMR. They can handle a good bit higher current draw.
Here is the work i have done with the OKR. Be very careful, if you read these threads you may become a modder!!!

Its a horrible debilitating disease..........Avoid it at all cost......
am going to read it right now. Don´t have to be carefully, I hardly happen to know how to turn the light on in my car, so any technical stuff is beyond my possibilitys.
I was a modder before I even got my first kit without even knowing it.... I have this need to Tim Allen anything I lay may hands on. "Grunt... Grunt..."
These 18650 NoEgos have a lot of potential as they have a good amount of room in their switch body. And the good looks of them is a great bonus. We might need to get Romaniac to sell the switch body un-assembled for those of us that just have to tinker...
LMAO! Hear that.
Yeah I know the feeling. Ive got so many projects going at the moment I dont know what Im doing half the time. Making mods for friends, Experimenting, trying new chips..... BUT im not smoking and its been fun for sure
As far as romaniac's switches, theres a ton of room in there. Definitely some potential. I like the OKR design. Did you work out the low batt cutoff?
Yes they look good, and I love the modular design, so people like me who can´t repair it themself, and live in Europe, and have everything to send to America, and then have sended it back again, just could get a new module and carry on.
Yea, you just use a zener diode and resistor in the circuit. I haven't implemented it yet because I haven't place a new DigiKey order yet. So I can't say for positive that it will work but I don't see any reason it won't. It's sound design from a knowledgeable modder. I can't remember if it's posted in the OKR thread or the low voltage cutoff thread but it's out there.
Just to stay on topic. These NoEgo's are great =] Thanks Romaniac...
No i am using aw imr 18650's i have for my provari's bought this for my dc cartos that the ohms have went real low on.Also to have one simple device for the times i don't want my costly devices getting damaged.So far received today this is light weight battery weighs more,works great with the dc cartos and 18650 imr.
I would love if you allow me to order some of those parts for you. I am obviously interested in the outcome!

The problem isn't the order =] It's getting the wife to let me have the spare time to play. We have been in our new house less than a year so this spring has been one continuous HoneyDew list. Gardens, light fixtures, shelves, picture hanging, furniture re-arranging, and this list goes on and on. =] She works afternoons next week so I will hopefully have some time to get back to playing. It's about the only time she leaves me alone.
I am surprised (and disappointed) to see that the NoEgo is regulated like that.
The reason for the surprise: I've had the impression that your NoEgos are your branding of the Smok Tech E-Power. According to pbusardo's video review of the E-Power with batteries fresh off the charger it measures 4.2V (which is what one would expect from a non-regulated 14500, 14650, or 18650 battery). Also, two people in this thread have recommended using the NoEgo with high-drain IMR batteries. Would that even be relevant in a regulated 3.7V device?
My disappointment comes from the fact that what I like best about high-mAh batteries is that they hold the higher voltage far longer than low-mAh batts. [Since I am pretty much a stay-at-home guy, the length of time between charges doesn't matter all that much.] And, since I already have 18650 batts and charger, I like the fact that yours is available without them for such a low price ... and, of course, looks so nice.
Does that 3.7V regulation also apply to the 18650 version?
