There isn’t one if the battery they’re rewrapping is available in your country. There are some smaller batteries like 14500 and 350 that haven’t been popular and rewraps are the on,y way to get the cell inside. Like the mxjo 350 and aw 14500 I think are both not available cells outside of those rewraps. I could be wrong but I’ve never seen info on what is being used inside them. Which says to me they have a partnership out of Asia for those batteries. The aw is actually a 340 not a 350 and is pretty low capacity at 650 mah. The mxjo is a solid 700 and the one so bought have lasted forever and were 2/$5

But I think you nailed it. The most important thing is that the batteries are authentic. Rewraps tens to inflate the numbers for usb ohm cells. Some rewrappers are claimed to have a deal for the “a” stock but that’s bs as far as I can tell.

Have you ever looked into mooch's tests here or on Reddit? His blog here on ecf is brilliant.

Actually the AW 18350 is 800mah & 12a CDR, and is an actual 18350.
The mxjo 18350's you mention were so inconsistent they couldn’t be tested. ---> 18350 Battery Bench Test Results and New Ratings Table

AW (Andrew Wan) is one of the very most respected experts / outlets for quality cells on this planet.
His company buys cells from high quality cell manufactures. He and or his staff inspect & test each individual cell for quality & performance.
Only the very top tier of these cells tested are labeled with AW wrap & holographic AW logo sticker, the rest are either resold or recycled.

When you buy an authentic AW cell you are buying a cell that has already been tested & proven to be top tier quality.
Re wraps?, not really, the cells are purchased from manufactures bare, they only get the AW wrap after inspection & testing proves their quality.

Of course this highly respected high quality image makes them a target for counterfeiters, if you didn't buy from an authorized AW dealer you have a 95%+ chance of having counterfeit/fake AW's.

It ends with "CN" so I assume that's China. I don't want to post the number because (I assume) anyone who could make that number work would gain access to my name and home address. I'm paranoid about privacy on the internet.

I don't blame you about privacy.

It is being shipped China Epacket. It should show up on tracking a couple of days after it shipped.

Thanks. I did submit a ticket asking for a tracking number that I can use for when my order leaves China.

From what I can tell looking into ePacket my order will be handed off to the USPS once it gets here. With the way the USPS works in California, it will probably be overnight from China to here and then about a week or more going from large city to large city in Cali before it finally hits my mailbox.

Do any of you order from yaeliq and have nay favorite flavors? Now they’re doing 500 ml for $44-55 the pricing is impossible to beat even for diy.

Even my most expensive to make DIY costs me just $2.83/125mL to make it. So that's $11.32 for 500mL. That cost includes all 7 of the flavorings in it, the PG, the VG, and the nic base. I've also figured into that a certain amount per mL of each ingredient...for S/H that I paid to get it.

I used to have 2 favorite eliquids I'd order, that I vaped exclusively for almost my first 1.5 years of vaping. Thought I was getting a really good deal on them at the time. Then I started DIY and found out how really inexpensively you can make your own.

You might want to give it a try sometime, too. It's absolutely easier than many believe it might be.:)

The USPS has a series of hubs out here. So they send it hub to hub, and each hub services particular cities. It can be frustrating. If I drive to a little town that's 20 minutes away from my little town, I can cut an entire day off of my mail times. I've tracked vape mail as it is driven by house and delivered about an hour North of me to sit in a room all weekend. And my local post office will not scan anything unless they know it can be delivered that day, I've known of packages that have sat in the storage room of my local PO without being scanned. They used to allow you to go pick them up if you had a tracking number and ID. But now they don't scan it, so it's not officially there, so it doesn't exist, and they can't find it. Frustrating. I assume that they are rated on how quickly they get deliveries out once they have been received and refusing to track them as arrived until they are ready to go out makes the turnover time look better to anyone looking into such things.

After looking some more into how ePacket works, I tried the number on the USPS website and the number worked for me. Thank you for your help.

I've always been a MTL (tootle puffer) vaper but it was the BB that got me into pre made coils. Before that I was using squonkers and gennies.
I tried TC and it worked well but not really better than kanthal for me.

Good answer! I still haven’t found a tank that beats the titanium gem. Which got all the v2 improvements but kept the v1 airflow.

Were the improvements begin juice wells and what else?

I'm still young in my DIY journey but I have 2 mixes that I love and am very happy with (working on some others in the next month or so) and it is absolutely dirt cheap and my cost for 30ml is definitely under $1.

It’s a top fill melo basically as far as I understand it. I’m interested in the mod not the tank. After buying that lavabox for $32 I’ll probably not get one but it’s an affordable solution to the mini ecig dna 60 at $150 though the mini ecig product is a lot nicer and has many more options.

Is anyone using the ehpro 101 tube?

I have two stashed. I'll get to them eventually. It was @Shawn Hoefer, who recommended them. I trust his knowledge and judgment.

Thank you for that info. I was not aware of AWs process.

WOW!

My Health Cabin order I just placed during their sale...was in Hong Kong yesterday @ 2:58AM, then arrived at Cincinnati Customs Hub, and was already at the Orlando sort facility at 8:30AM today.
It's scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day today!

They sent it by DHL Express, even with Free S/H! I'm very impressed with HC so far! :thumbs:

JC, looks like we are in the same boat - our packages must be rubbin elbows :D
if they get the order correct (see when it gets here) I will be VERY IMPRESSED ! (healthcabin)

I have a new method for DIY juice.

It is so easy no measuring involved and saves so much time.

Take a bit of nic and pour in into the sink, Squirt some flavor in there. No need to measure count or anything, A couple of drops of vg then pour some PG in.

Give it a smell then pull the plug.

Most of my Diy ends up there anyway some it saves all this time shaking, measuring, cleaning and rewicking.

This method is saves me $200 per month in time.

Protip: Fill the sink with water first, then plug in a toaster and throw it in after the juice, vape! #Winning.

Any recommendations for a good tootle puffer toaster.

I think I would need a one slice toaster.
