You can just as easily mail those to me!
Those are for the vape War Chest I've slowly been building up.

I haven't even caught up with the thread. I'm still on page 60. I would like to mention, though, that 40, or even 20 years ago, the medications that keep me from being crippled or possibly even dead did not exist yet.
Taking the timeline given into consideration, there seems to be a consensus that the USPS was better 40 years ago. It may have been in many ways. For one, it was called the USPO (United States Post Office), and was completely a government operation. Most work was done by employees. They had contractors, but only for specific duties like rural mail.
Their employees were well paid, with excellent benefits. In 1980, Congress defunded the USPO and created a non-governmental entity called the United States Postal Service, a privately owned company majority owned by the US Government but otherwise independent of it. Now more of the transportation and delivery are being handled by outside contractors than by employees. Contractors have to go through a bidding process, and receive no benefits.
That said, in the past year I've seen some dramatic changes. FedEx and UPS both raised their rates by as much as 100% in some cases. I've had delivery problems with all three, but lately FedEx has been just awful, and UPS isn't even as snappy as they used to be.
When I first started selling stuff on EBay, I never even considered sending anything but small items by USPS. I couldn't imagine giving the USPS a guitar to deliver 3000 miles away. But today, their rates for that sort of shipping are about 1/2 the price of the other carriers, and their 2 day packages almost always arrive in 2 days.
Whatever. But anyway, a lot of people are living longer healthier lives because of treatments that didn't exist 20 or 40 years ago.
I got my $10 Coolfire 1 yesterday. Nice mod for the cartotanks. Basic, and very well made.

And you blew it....This must be a record

Did some research and with an 18650 battery in the Zmax V3 it and the Cool Fire 4 weigh within 5 grams of the same.If the Sig Zmax is heavy to you, don't get a Coolfire4.

We do have our moments.
But you know eventually there'll be another video posted of a jolly camel and we'll be off to the races. So to speak. Andria
Which is really funny, since an 18650 lasts me about 6 hrs and the CF4 can go for 2 days.

Uh, what rating 18650? Mine range from a lowly 2000 mAh to 3100.
Innoken has better electronics in them?Which is really funny, since an 18650 lasts me about 6 hrs and the CF4 can go for 2 days.

Mine are 2000 and 2250... both Efest, the regular red ones, since I don't need a lot of amperage for my style of vaping.
Andria
Don't really know the capacity they came from a laptop battery pack. Definitely good for the 4 amp max that the Zamx does though.
Will get good ones when I upgrade to modwomper gear.
From what the pack said on it they are Lipo.
Yep Lipo and 2200 mah per the number of parallel cells and the total capacity of the battery pack.
LI-ION 00 on the case I took them out of.

Actually, and in general, the higher the mAh rating, the lower the continuous amp rate. So the 3100's are great for tootling along, not so good for high current vapers.
I tend to evaluate by tank. If a given battery will let me vape a full tank without running out of electrical juice, I'm happy. (Given that most of those are, for me, KFs) When it's time to refill, I "refill" both.
(And actually do about the same with Spinner types and their toppers, PT2s and T3S. When a 1300
Spinner won't vape a full one, it gets designated for "around the house" and lawnmower duty!)
I vape a bit over 1 T3 tank of juice on a 650 ma battery the same on the Itaste VV3. Have no idea yet on the Zmax but I expect it to do at least 3 tanks.
The T3 claims to hold 3 ml of juice. Never measured it though.
Just looking at your banner, @Atchafalaya
1298 cigs avoided in 34 days?
How many packs a day did you go through??
Are you a diesel train?
