Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

[AndriaD]

Yep which means a max amperage of not over 15.

Hmm, I dunno.. I've got some AW 18490s that are 18A.

The mech must have a center pin and the 510 connecter on the tank connect with that and not the battery top.

Sorry Robert I'm kind of missing why you are telling me this.

And to add a little excitement with that devil may care outlook.

I'd suggest a Cherry Bomber, nothing like a hard hit from the CB to get your heart racing....

The Kick will only fit on an 18650 if you have a mod that has a kick ring -- Chi You I know for sure, and I think some others do too. Otherwise, using a Kick means using an 18490/18500.

Andria

The Nemesis has a kick ring. It has so many tubes that you could actually fit any battery in it and use a kick (18350, 18490/500, or 18650).

Close enough my 15 amp was just a close guess. And Mooch does not seem to test the shorter batteries from what I saw.

Probably because I got confused?

ok dokie. Probably tDragon's involved.

Looks like the CoolFire 4 has hit the clearance section at MFS $24.97. And Ladies they have the Pink in stock!

Cool Fire IV Kit by Innokin

Had to jump on this one...been wanting a CF4 for like...months! With a coupon code I got it was $24.94 including the shipping. So that was a deal I could not refuse.

Guess what is my Christmas present this year! lol! Now I have to go buy the hubby something for under the tree. We weren't going to exchange gifts...but at that price I could NOT say "no"!!!

Well, if they're authentic AW batteries (the only kind I buy, from sweet-vapes.com), they've already been tested -- that's why they're AW batteries.

I bought some Efest 18350's for 2.54 I think it was each. For my Zmax V3, should be fine in there. 4 amp max on the Zmax. The 18500 Efests I bought for $1 have worked fine. Well one just plain died, no voltage. But I have been using the rest a lot and they are fine. Too cheap to pass up.
But I use Doodo Browns for my Mech and VTC Mini.

I just can't see paying $9 for an 18350 when I pay $7 for an 18650 HG2.
btw the same Efests are about $9 everywhere else too.

I do see that the 18350 AW's are 7.95 at Sweet-Vapes. Better price than the Efests most places.

I got my Efests for my Sigelei; they're also fine in my Vamo. I got the AWs for my mechs, since I always use a Kick, so I needed the shorter ones; really have no need of 18A, but I figured extra safety was a good thing for a mech, and they cost the same as the lower amperage ones anyway, at sweet-vapes.

The Samsung 25Rs I found at ilumn are $5 each -- not too shabby for 20A batteries! Plus the battery case they throw in when you buy a pair.

Yeah great deal on the 25R's.
And the case alone costs from 1-3$ elsewhere.

Oh noe

Did it survive?

Unfortunately not There will be 2 replacement glass bits on order after Christmas - the rest of it is fine (they're pretty solid) so all is not lost

ETA : At least it was empty as I'd just given it a wash

I get you. I just don't want you to go off of my word alone. That's all.



I have only used IMR batteries in my mechs so I can't advise you on protected batteries

Your words helps, but of course I won't only take one source. I always check many places and sources to make up my mind.

The Kick will only fit on an 18650 if you have a mod that has a kick ring -- Chi You I know for sure, and I think some others do too. Otherwise, using a Kick means using an 18490/18500.

Andria

Nemesis uses a lock ring

So today I got tools for rebuilding, subox, orings, cotton and wire, in four different packages. Perfect.

Andria

Which means you should not go above 9 amps.
As the battery ages the mAh degrades, as the mAh degrades the CDR degrades.

Vapez
The Kick ring for the Nemesis is a spacer, not to be confused with the lock ring. (the center gold colored ring in my picture)
Also you can either use a kick or a fuse, but not both at the same time. (you would have to have two kick rings just to have enough room for both)
