The Sanyo spec sheet just says lithium ion.
Been using them in my Zmax V3 for months now.
They actually run cooler in my charger than tthe HG2's do. And do not heat up with use.
Max CDR is 4.3 amps per Sanyo. And 14 watts is 3.3 amps. So I am well under the CDR limit.
Like they guy with the Variant Ant Mod I am a professional
They are all Lithium Ion.
That's a generic term.
There is no such thing as a Li Ma (IMR) or Li NiMa (INR) 18650 cell that is only 4 amp.
Knowing the actual battery chemistry is imperative if you want to stay safe!
was just sayin' , that "AW's" are just re-wrapped Panasonic cells...
Doesn't matter what they are -- the point is, they're *tested*!

In any case they serve my purpose.
Yes AWs are mostly Panos, but they only buy top bin & test each batch.
Those that do not meet AW's specs. are resold and end up in electric razors and the like.

totally safe as long as I do not go over the maximum discharge rate. I do not use them in a mech.
Well as safe as using a bomb battery can be I suppose.
They are used in laptops all the time at the same current I am drawing. Not too many of those blow up.
The Zmax V3 has a maximum output current of 4 amps. Which is what I am using them in.
I am a Certified Electronics Technician and specially trained in high power DC battery sytems used by telcos.
Actually I am not sure if CET still exists. I also held a 1st class FCC license.
If you misuse things they can be dangerous. Like cleaning you ear with a toothpick.
If you use them within their specs not so dangerous.
I am also certified by the Coast Guard to maintain and repair their solar powered buoy systems.
That might need renewing though
Like Victor I am a professional. And like victor I do not vape at 160 watts.
That doesn't change safe suggestions for the masses.
I began adult life as an AF 304x4 (radio repair), and trust me, we did things in the field (Vietnam) that we knew would work but could hardly be called safe.
(things that I would NEVER suggest to a ham radio operator)

I am not recommending it to the masses.
Perhaps anything I discuss on here is a recommendation ...
I will just shut up.

The iClear-30S is, similarly, a tank that has NO center air tube.
The reason I still have a couple 30S's in my rotation is that the 10-15 seconds it takes to pour the ejuice into a small bottle (with a screw-on drip tip) before changing the coil...is easily exceeded by the time saved in refilling...5-10 seconds to screw/unscrew the TOP (and NO need to remove the tank from the Mod to refill).
Course...that's just me...
omg!! you made my day thanks so much
Mods and batteries are hardly gonna be regulated by the TPD. If you want to be prepared for the TPD, then get as many tanks over 2mls + coils and as many rebuildables as you can get. And stock up on nic and flavourings as well.Thus why I said "safe". There is a risk with everything electrical or which includes batteries and I'm willing to take that chance. But still, I want to be on the safest possible.
I research about battery safety and usage a lot, and I will definetely be a lot more educated about it when I'm going to use it for the first time. It's the TPD20 that is pushing me, so I think that if the smartest would be actually getting the hardware and other stuff FIRST, then learn about it LATER. If it wasn't for TPD20, I'd educate myself a lot more before even buying. You get what I'm saying here, right?
I'm not worried at all about batteries and mods....And we have implemented most of the tpd already

Where do you live?
I'm getting those things anyway. I have two full subtank mini's and 7-8 subtank mini afc bases + rba bases and bell caps (authentic but turns out much cheaper.
I won't stock up on flavorings as they will always be available. If not for some reason, it doesn't matter. I've got enough flavorings for a couple years already and unflavored isn't bad at all.
Nicotine I am going to stock up on.
Anyone have a link to a carrying bag for mods/tanks/bottles etc? Preferably on fasttech. Need something when out travelling.

I have a lot to learn, apparently. What is "step down"? I see it mentioned here and there, but I don't understand. I looked at the IPV Mini @AndriaD was talking about in her post. It's nice looking. It says it uses watts as low as 5 watts. That seems plenty low to me.....especially with a coil that is about 1.5 ohm. I personally like around 7 to 8 watts, myself.Totally agree!
You know that blue iPV mini I was crowing about yesterday, that my husband says to go ahead and order for my xmas present from him? Well TD in the wompers' thread gave me the unpleasant news that the silly thing won't step down.
This thing is soooooooooo gorgeous!!!!

So I'm confused what is this "step down" thing?
Take your pick.
possibles bag - Google Search
Forget about wattage for just a sec.
Basically there are two ways to regulate voltage, one is to boost the voltage and the other is to reduce the voltage. Some chip sets can do one but not the other, other chip sets can do both.
Having "step down" simply means that it can do both.
Chip sets like the DNA 20 or 30 could only boost voltage. So they supplied unregulated voltage (whatever level the battery charge was) until the battery was depleted to the level of the wattage you wanted. (if "x" watts only requires 3 volts you're outa luck, you're gonna get whatever voltage is in the battery.)

@Vapez, I live in the Netherlands. We implemented most of the tpd since....I think June this year. Shops have been visited by the authorities and some got fined for 'illegal' tanks. It is totally unclear of drippers are still allowed, they are assessed on case by case basis 
There's a nice vaping bag on FT, though I'm not sure if its practical. Looks nice tho....Dont have a link right now, maybe tomorrow if you want.

I don't believe all are Panasonic, but yes, they are "Tested" Top Quality Re-Wraps!was just sayin' , that "AW's" are just re-wrapped Panasonic cells...
