    Are you upgrading to Windows 10?

    My personal transition from 7 to 10 was hideous and painful, but I finally got it figured out, and now everything is peachy. I actually enjoy using 10 now, although I still can't get IE to work properly (couldn't get it to work well on 7 either), so I've just stuck with Chrome (which works as...

    Average flashocolic age

    I'm 45 (going on 14 :twothumbs). I didn't really start to get "into" flashlights until the early LED stuff started coming out, but I soon lost interest, as the older LED stuff didn't perform all that well (or at least the stuff at the price I was willing to spend). About 5 years ago, I decided...

    e-cig explosion lit face on fire, busted 2 teeth

    Ditto! I have two eVic VTC Minis, one dedicated to 1 ohm plus and one to sub ohm. I use Panny NCR18650PFs in the first, which are rated for 10A continuous, but at the resistance and wattage I use it at it's pulling a max of 3A. On the second (sub ohm) I use LG INR18650-HG2s rated at 20A...

    e-cig explosion lit face on fire, busted 2 teeth

    A mod is any vaping device that doesn't resemble an actual cigarette and has a larger capacity removable/rechargeable battery. There are regulated mods, which have circuitry between the battery and atomizer that controls the voltage, amps, etc. going between the two. They can be fixed...

    Nitecore Batteries Unwrapped

    Nitecore would have taken the Panasonic or Samsung cell and attached the protection pcb to the minus end and strip leading to the plus end, then shrunk their own wrapper over that, so the factory wrap would still be between the body of the cell and the strip.

    Eneloop AAA Disappointment

    That's probably it. I use AAA 'loops in my Streamlight Microstream and Stylus Pro, as well as in my pocket Radio Shack radio (12-587). They give nice run times in all these applications.

    ZebraLight's new 12-volt models require an **Unprotected Battery**

    I've been vaping on unprotected Panasonic hybrid cells for about 4 years now. Right from the get go I made sure that the mods I used them in provided various protections: reverse polarity, short circuit, over discharge (and overcharge in the case of those that allow the battery to be charged...

    Nitecore MT40GT battery question

    A few basics off the top of my head: -Use protected cells (which it sounds like you will be) -Don't mix brands, capacities, or cell types (i.e., use two identical cells) -Make sure cells are closely matched. For example, I use 4 identical Orbtronic protected 18650s in my Fenix TK61. All show...

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Do INR cells (MJ1, etc.) have a similar internal resistance to IMR? If so, then yes, I'd be interested. I've heard that some chargers can overcharge IMR. I haven't experienced this myself, since I've only used Nitecore "i" and "d" series chargers, but if your Opus is charging ICRs up to 4.22V...

    gyzmo, have you taken votage readings on any IMR cells fresh off this charger?

    Mountain Electronics

    I'm running 3 of their Nichia units in Solarforce hosts right now. Phenomenal stuff for the price, and way better and more consistent than SF's own drop ins. :cool:
