Oops, protected cells are ok to use in flashlights (low discharge) but it used to be and probably still is not a good idea to use protected cells in mods, especially mechs (high discharge). Hope someone else can chime in, my battery safety is a little drained after quite a while of same ol same ol. Here is a link to Mooch's recommendations for smaller cells.

The Woodvils are not mechanical, though. When the AW Li-Mn were not available, I used the protected ones for a while. Never had an issue, but I'm no expert.

So what's to come of all those mods and attys?? I know you dont like or want to sell stuff.. but seems crazy to just toss them into the trash.

I know I'd love a few more little O 16's!

Hopefully they are all left in storage atleast.. better yet handed off to someone that can go threw the trouble of selling it off for ya for a fee.

If I had to guess who would make a reply like this (including with the smiley hint)...

I bought 4 original O-16's and some spares for them to use on mostly some of my 16 Mini Reos. But I didn't use any of the Mini Reo's or their atty's for very long (in fact never used some of them at all) because the O-16's, Chalice II, 6 Chalice 3's and Hornet I had on some of them were better suited for MTL than my DL vaping style.

I should have said high discharge for use in a mod. Doesn't matter if its regulated, unregulated or full mech, it pulls power from the battery too quickly. Its like hooking up a coffee straw to a fire hydrant and expecting not a drop spilt. I am no expert either but Here is a link to Steam Engine full of useful battery info. Extra emphasis on C rating.

Perfect timing! I was just thinking about you and the rest of the gang here! I have been working so many hours this summer that I haven’t taken the time to check in.
Howdy all! How is everyone doing? Virtual hugs.

Good to see you around, too! Haven't been here for a couple of years.

Great to see you!! We have missed you. How are you doing?

Does anyone know if it's possible to find the flat contact that connects to the battery anywhere? I've been using my mini for about 8 years and the flat piece that the firing button presses down on finally snapped in half. Other than that, every thing works great. Unfortunately, I didn't see the news about the shop shutting down until it had already happened, or I would have stocked up on spare parts. If anyone has any leads on where to score a connector, let me know. Thanks!

 

[jifjifjif]

I'll look for one. I believe you are referring to the firing pin. It's what makes contact with the top of the battery when the button is pressed . I'm not sure I have any for the mini though. Mine may be all Grands. I'll bet you SteamStack has one. He went apesh¡t and bought up everything when the site was closing.

 

[teamrichard1]

Thanks, jifjifjif, that is exactly what I'm talking about! I figured it was a longshot, but couldn't hurt to ask.

Which mini do you have? is it the 14500 mini?

[teamrichard1]

Mine's the Mini 2.1 I think. It uses the 18490 battery type.

Hey there @teamrichard1. Did you get your firing pin needs sorted?

 

[teamrichard1]

Hey @Robinowitz , I'm still trying to track some down.

 

[jifjifjif]

I finally looked and I'm sorry, but I have no firing pin for the mini.

 

[teamrichard1]

No problem @jifjifjif , thanks for looking! I wonder if they made the pins themselves or if they sourced them from somewhere. I'd be willing to buy a 100 pack or something if I had to.

I don't remember what they even look like at the moment, but couldn't you just have a machine shop make some? They are just small brass parts I think.
