Years ago my local vape shop had some "vape amp mech batteries"

They claimed to have the same stats as the at the time, coveted Sony VTC5A but when the wrap was taken off and the serial # checked they turned out to be old Samsung 25Rs with fancy wraps.

Man I hope they are out of business

I'm liking this one guys. Plus it charges AA & AAA batteries which is handy. The XTR VC4SL.

I'm thinking I might buy some 5000mah and test them on a new

I think your right, it's a choice between those 2. I'm getting my head around this now. I have been using vapcell 20700 3500mah 3.7v 30A max continuous discharge batteries, and have new spares that'll fit my nuchuku 2 with the kumo. Those should be good yeah?

The 5000mah caught my eye is all and I thought man those would last me most of the day. I forgot about the amps ratiing, I'll have to do more reading on that actually.

Yup I get it now. I'm going with the molicel p42b 4200mah. Thanks again guys, your shared experience and knowledge has helped me so much. :thankyou:

There's a simple calculator on the Fogstar website to check if your batteries will work safely.

I dont think that is working properly now.

I entered single 21700 at 80w and one of the results shown was a 10a battery. The amps per cell just under the calculate button is correct though.

Things are starting to make sense. I remember now years ago I had to do the reading on ampage. I'm glad I asked you guys before buying.

I never looked at the batteries. As long as the calculator works.

If in any doubt at all, a quick email to Ben at Fogstar or Ollie at NuBattery will get you good advice :2thumbsup:

Hi guys, that's all my gear arrived minus the twisted clapton wire. I was sent ni80 instead. I don't know much about this wire tbh only that it can be used on wattage setting. I also dug out a wheel of pre-made coils that might come in handy? I think I'll try a single kanthal 6 wrap 27awg coil, 3mm id to begin with. I mixed up some juice too.
