Anyone named King is worth a listen.

I laugh at the 'pulse' rating. Never have I ever seen any evidence of it in the load testing I've done over the years. I also find the assertions that pulse tests better cuz that's how we vape silly. Lets look at this pulse test. Does this high amp "pulse" occur during the few milliseconds (the width of the trace?), Samsung now lists their pulse at less than a second I guess in high end cordless tools this may come into play, punching at frozen screws. One thing it shows is the amp rating means nothing with these 'new' brands that have shown up with their exorbitant claims.

For those into reality shows this one was mesmerizing.

One of my favs from that era.

Although your advice is sound, you'll never vape at 4.2V.

Seems nice and a good value, but I don't trust the 'Capacity: 3.5ml' spec.

And? For one Chrome's spell checker puts all others to shame. It doesn't just check individual words, it checks them in context, e.g. there vs. their, where vs. were vs. ware etc. I can also easily keep track of my 2 separate Google Voice accounts/phone numbers from my main account. And the fast voice search works well. Don't need you to tell me which browser I should use. No is this forum area meant for your browser, fanboi insights.

One of the weirdest posts I've read.

If it lives up to it's specs it will be an absolute winner. So many improvements over the original iStick. http://www.eleafworld.com/product/detail.php/istick-50w.html Seems perfect for the new vaper, nothing else to buy (batteries, chargers etc.) or worry about. Truly plug&play. And at 50W and .2Ω capability, most vapers will never outgrow it.

Did you try working the center pin on the HH.357 out a tad? Seems like you only need about a hair more.

This forum isn't very Chrome friendly. Most of the problems involve quotes adding extra spaces tough to get out of the quote box. IE works fine. That said with with Chrome's market share it makes no sense. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

No reason to overpay for a crap name like Efest on your batteries, those you have are simply over-wrapped LGHE2s. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Efest+18650+%2F+2500mah&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.XLG+he2+18650&_nkw=LG+he2+18650&_sacat=0

Really nice. A better vid. Note the last step that trippy missed.

That should be fine as long as you go no lower than ~0.4Ω (about 10A). These inexpensive China parallel mods are not a good choice for ultra low subΩ builds (over 10A draw under load.) I know you are stuck with the B&M but there are many decent PVs out there priced right these days online. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10011746/2018102-luxyoun-100w-variable-wattage-vw-box-mod It's like he was embarrassed to like it. His constant harping about it using a single battery grew old. That it's capable of 100W doesn't mean you have to run it there all day. They also make a 50W version that is ~$4 cheaper.

Have you looked at it? Have you took apart the switch?

It's aluminum.

Hello and welcome.

Things have been moving on quickly. This is probably a good bet and cheaper than the VTR with double the wattage. http://www.myvaporstore.com/iPV-Mini-30-Watt-MOD-Pioneer4you-p/p4u-ipv30ss.htm For just a few bucks more than the iStick (with it's wonky 510 connector) you get a PV with a well respected YiHi chip and a much broader range of options. Features and Specs: Loading resistance: 0.5 ohm -3.0 ohm Output Voltage range: 3.0 V – 8.0 V Output Wattage range: 5.0 w – 30 w YiHi SX130 chip Floating top pin Visual operating system Low voltage protection Low resistance protection High input voltage warning Output short circuit protection Reverse battery protection Dimensions: 3-3/4"L x 1-9/16"W x 7/8" Utilizes one 18650 battery (removable and sold separately) USB charge port

I consider Efest to be as far from reputable as you can get. Even labelling them as 'IMR' is laughable. True IMRs are LiMn2O4 or abbreviated as LMO. Panasonic makes no cells with that chemistry. This is a Panasonic rewrap. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fvape.li%2Fefest-imr-18650-3100-mah-20a-attention-ces-batteries-sont-dangereuses%2F&sandbox=1 Here is a test from one of the flashlite forums. The bottom 2 traces are at 20A discharge. Note the initial voltage drop, can't even do 3.2V. Pathetic. Also note the poor tracking (the different results) between the 2 samples tested for each trace. Looks like they are using Panasonic cast offs that are dumped into the loose cell market. Here is a test of the Samsung INR18650-20R which they rate at 22A continuous @ 2000mAh Here we see the Samsung at 30A ( which is 36% MORE than it's stated 22A rating) manages ~3.65V out of the gate. At 20A looks like ~ 3.82V. We also see that up to the 20A trace it pretty much hits it's stated mAh. Also note how well they track, this is also a test of 2 samples, for the most part they look like one single trace.

Yes it is primarily for single coil builds.

How bout $23 http://www.fasttech.com/products/3028/10006473/2018000

I like it that way, those over hyped Nitecores always undercharge. That's well within spec. Most datasheets list: Today's batteries are quite robust and cheap (compared to when I started), may as as well fully charge them.

Nice to see some real numbers for once. What charger you using to get 4.22V?

Actually LG with their HE2 drag them down to a 2V cutoff, as does MOLI for their mAh ratings. Actually true/pure IMRs, LiMn2O4 ( or LMN) tap out at about 1600mAh. Your '35A' Efests are LGHE2s which are listed in their datasheet as 20A continuous discharge batteries. Here's more Efest nonsense. 20A? Here's a test of the LGHE2 20A battery vs. the Efest Panasonic 3100 rewrap. Probably those were Sony 18650s. It was a major fiasco that affected Acer, Apple, Toshiba, Dell and any other poor saps who used Sony 18650s. Sony has had to recall (10+million) cells and also dispose of more tainted inventory (43 million) than all the other major manufacturers combined.

There is no such thing as a 5000mAh 18650... period. A protection circuit (PCM) will significantly impact performance. An example: Total mAh means nothing to us, we need to look at vaping mAh. Note Panasonic bases their mAh at a 2.5V cutoff, in the test above using a 2.8V cutoff we see how it falls short of those claims. If we use a more realistic 3.2V, vaping cutoff the 3400mAh Panasonic only manages ~2000mAh, the protected version only gets ~1500mAh.
