TBH, I don't remember. I'm just banging out the discharges and filing the graphs. When I get them all done I'll be comparing results and posting the data. 26650's are significantly less efficient than 18650's though. A 4200mAh 26650 definitely does not have 1200mAh more of capacity than a 3000mAh 18650 at decent power levels. It's only at lower power levels, perhaps under 35W or less, where 26650's start to be able to flex their extra capacity.

You should be seeing better run time than a HG2 or 30Q though. Do you have one you can use as a comparison?
Thanks for that, I'll give it a try...

The green Efest's came this morn. They fit real nice in the Stout and are currently on the charger. When charging is complete, I'll put them in the Stout with the same topper (Serpent) that I used with the MNKE's and see what happens. I know, I know, Efest!! But they can't be any worse than the wide space MNKE's I had!! Fingers crossed.

Running my MXJO .40 SS in temp mode about a half tank so far. I thought I read in the VTC mini thread that you can see the remaining voltage if you click the fire button 10x while the device is off. Being that the board is almost identical it should do the same.
The replacement is working much better than the original device. Other than the 18650 that rattles the device seems enjoyable.

IMR but they are out of stock right now. Vapor Beast has a decent price on the 4200MAH and are a dependable vendor.

And my Silver Stout was received by VF this morning and by 2:00PM my new one was in the mail. Talk about turn around on a RMA, pretty damn good CS!

And Randy at RTD just sent me a message, same deal received and my PP account already has been credited.

It's so cool working with vendors that have integrity and good business practices!

Update on the green 4200mAh Efest's.

Same set up as the wide spaced MNKE's, Stout @ 40 watts, Serpent with .75 spaced Clapton.

The MNKE's wouldn't fire above 60 watts and I got two tanks (approx 8ml) when I got the "weak battery" message.
The Efest's did fire above 60 watts and I got 3 1/3 tanks (approx 13.5ml) when "weak battery' came on. Granted these are 4200 and the MNKE's were 3500.

Conclusion: beats the sheet out of me!! lol
