Well I'm all fired up for a mini woodvil 18490. After that I'll be waiting in the wings for the metal mini 18490. I have to replace my mini. I let my red and black mini go because I hated the 14500 battery, and regretted it ever since. I realized after I sold it that it would have been perfect for around the house and short errands. I've been kicking myself in the tail ever since, lol.

I also wanted to say that I believe everyone was put here to make a difference in the life of someone else. Whether we realize it or not. And we don't even have to know "when" we touch or make that difference, as long as someone was affected by our actions in a positive way. That's what made me take hypnosis seriously. I used to just do party stuff, no therapy. At the end of the show I would always give the person I was working with positive suggestions to make them feel better, sleep better, confidence or whatever. Sort of a parting gift that I didn't think twice about until I started receiving tons of phone calls and emails from people saying how much it helped them. So here I am today, a master hypnotist making a difference everyday. A couple of years ago I was a New York security guard doing hypnosis for fun. Sorry for rambling on and on, my point is, I wonder if Rob realizes what a special human being he is. A few years ago he was a Cig smoker like the rest of us, and today he touches and helps to save lives across the globe. We all have that quality, we just don't know when it's going to show itself or in what way. None of us were born to just grow up, get a job and pay taxes. We all have a higher purpose and a spiritual reason for being here.
Sorry guys. You learn a lot communicating with people's unconscious minds and higher selves and the Reo Grand has me on a serious nicotine buzz that just took me somewhere else. Sorry bout that:oops:

That, my friend, is very true, and something we should all remember a little more often. Thanks for reminding me.

The AW IMR 14500 is 600 mAh. The AW IMR 18650 is 1600 mAh. The AW IMR 18490 is 1100 mAh, so it should be right in the middle.

Thank you mlinky, that should work out perfect for me with three batteries.

Just a note to all chain vapers considering a Reo, I needed 4 batteries to get through 24 hours with the mini, I'm using 2 batteries to get through 24 hours with the Grand and it appears that 3 batteries should suffice for the "18490" for 24 hours. That's with the Reo glued to my lips all day long. Just to give an idea, if, you are not a heavy chain vaper you probably will so much better with the batteries. (using AW IMR by the way).

Please disregard the post above and I promise to keep my fat newbie mouth shut from now on. Apparently after a couple of weeks of regular cycling, the batteries last even longer. Makes me really regret breaking rule #1 with giving up my mini due to the 14500 batteries. I never gave those batts a chance, gave up after only 5 days :facepalm:
I think once you own a Reo anything you start to feel like a pro.

I get about what you said in the original post out of my grand and mini with the AW batteries. I use 1.5 LR attys and I chain vape as long as I am awake.

Maybe i'm losing it because I swear it feels like im getting at least 2 more hours out of these 18650's now that they have been depleted and recharged a few times.

It has been said that when new the AW IMR need a few cycles before they perform the best. I noticed that also, after a few charges they seemed to last longer.

LOL, glad to see you back! I guess this means you are happily vaping. :)

Almost back mlinky. Tooooo much work, i'm almost as busy as Rob. I hate it because I keep one of my computers logged in to ecf all day and i'm just too busy to sit down and pop in. All I can do is walk by and look and my pretty red and black ecf background and if lucky maybe I can read a few threads, just don't have time to reply :(

I totally understand. Make sure to take good care of yourself and don't get run down. :)
