What is made in Japan?

[KansaiMike]

I would like to use products made in Japan. So far I have only been able to find:

Panasonic KEEPPOWER 18650 3100mAh
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00D75D458/

bamboo gauze by mamorinuno
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00EE8CIYK/

Both of these are top quality. I'm looking for anything else made in Japan that I can use: vaporizers, organic wicks, ejuice, ato/cartomizers, pg, vg, tips, chargers, accessories, flavors, and even ester compounds.

I hope this can help us not have to pay shipping costs and avoid the loooooong wait times.

There is a page on facebook that sells batteries and juices. Just search vape fuel japan. Hope that helps.

I think the juice and the battery are both made in Japan. They sell us18650vtc's which is Japan made. I am not sure about the juice that they're selling

I'm not sure if you want that battery, while it is probably good for a flashlight, it's still a protected Li-Ion battery. You want to stick with Li-Mn batteries. Sony and Panasonic do make LiMn batteries, but not sure where you are going to find them online. Check the links in the thread about Japanese vape shops to see if they carry them.

Batteries are the one thing you should never go cheap on.

Vapercone has AW batteries which are really good. VaporCone

VaprSpot has AW, EFEST, and Sony which are all good. BATTERIES & CHARGERS

Thanks, I'm looking for items made in Japan. I can source items online and have them shipped but I'd rather support locally if possible since it means we can get higher quality without having to pay high shipping costs.

 

[mbottema]

Both of those shops are in Japan. And the battery you listed may be a high quality item for a flashlight, it may not be safe for a mod (mechanical or otherwise). If you are looking to support local business and save on shipping, both of these vendors are in Japan. You will save on shipping, wait time and support local business.
And VaprSpot has Sony batteries that are better.

Obviously there's the ramble mod, which I believe is the only Jp made mod. It's telescopic, which I don't personal like but it is well made and feels good at 18350. The fact that it's telescopic & that ugly ... logo makes it meh to me, that and it's $150.

Sony VTC5's, Honda Civics, and Ninja's

Also there's this organic cotton from japan that was told to me from a friend from the states that says it's starting to blow up in the vape world.

I'll be getting some to see how it stacks up to the cotton i've been using (Medigen 100% cotton).

Kogendo オーガニックコットン

Here's a site that has it in English, just in case you need a translation.

I hate to keep mentioning this but battery safety is important and I would hate to see somebody get hurt.

Batteries made by Japanese companies recommended by mod battery experts (see link below)

Panasonic
CGR18650CH (IMR/hybrid) 2250mAh 10A
NCR18650PF (LiNiCOMnO2) 2900mAh 10A
NCR18650PD (LiNiCoAl) 2900mAh 10A

Sanyo
UR18650EX 2000mAh 20A

Sony Hybrid
US18650v3 IMR 2250mAh 10A
US18650VTC3 1600mAh 30A
US18650VTC4 2100mAh 30A
US18650VTC5 2600mAh 30A

Protected ICR Li Ion. Lithium ion class batteries, also called "protected batteries".

These batteries use a built-in protective circuit because they contain volatile chemistry that can become unstable quickly when they are severely stressed. Circuit failure can lead to battery failure, venting violently with flame in an event called thermal runaway. These batteries have a higher capacity (mAh rating) than IMR batteries and have been used in single voltage applications in a mechanical mod with factory-built coils. Not recommended for regulated mods, RBAs, or use in a mechanical using a Kick.

As stated in the following posts here on ECF http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/4848-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected.html

Thanks. It's pretty difficult to figure out which battery is considered safe when we hear of so many warnings. Wouldn't it be nice if all e-cigs had circuitry to detect batteries and then act accordingly--same with chargers.

This is probably a conversation for another thread but I couldn't help myself. Haha.

Yes, that would be nice. But it's a good thing we have a forum to help us. I sure don't want to be the first person to burn my hand or blow my face off because of an unforeseen error.

There's the Sakura mod which should be out soon. It looks kinda like a Turtleship but with Japanese writing instead of Korean. Like the Ramble it also has Rhodium plated silver contacts.

Is it made in Japan?

@mbotemma
Do you know of a chart that shows common battery amperage compared to what we might use for coils in rebuildables? Like, if I like micro or nano coils at 1.2-1.7 ohms and I vape 2 hours per day, what kind of battery should I buy.

Haha. I know it probably doesn't exist, but it would be cool.

I'm gonna post this on the battery forum. Feel free to reply there.

 

[mbottema]

The link that a shared has a lot of info and there are several links within there that share a lot of information on batteries. I only listed that because there are several batteries which they recommend that are safer. There are also several videos and articles on line that reflect the same view on vaping safe batteries.
I am NOT a attery expert by any means, so I refer to battery experts when I'm looking.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Just grab an AW IMR 18350/18490/18650. Some of the best batteries there are for the vape world. If you're gonna sub-ohm get the 18650.
