Squonkers are Bonkers

I've liked Samsung, now on the fence till I see some trustworthy news.
If you think LW has trustworthy news, they also told me Samsung isn't the quality it was. I don't know how they come up with that assessment.
We still use Samsung batteries in our mods. Hubby and I have lots of the 30Qs and never had a problem. I use 50E (21700) in a couple of my squonkers and never had a problem. Of course, we take regular care of them, charging in the dock, not juggling them in the driveway, not using them for playing fetch with the dog, etc...

Anyone with a Mölly - what kind of batteries are you using?

This was a new Molicel P26 after a couple tries - it is going to be recycled. I am afraid it'll happen again if I try another one. PXL_20211228_034408446.jpgPXL_20211228_034350819.jpg

Fucking Moly’s

From the v1 to current, they’re still munching batteries.

Although, I am sure it was sized to a Samsung, which is smaller than the Molicel’s.

Just as the earlier versions were sized to the LG Brownies and all sort of issues with Samsung, Sony batteries.

I've had no trouble tearing wraps at all. That said, it is not a slam it in and yank it out kinda mod for sure. Only certain ways to do it. Also that said, I don't have any Moli 18650's

No wraps? Don't recycle a new batt, I have wraps.
Is it worth saving, kind of looks like a small indent on the bottom of the battery. I figured I wouldn't take a chance. I learned the Molicel P26's are almost a full mm taller than the Samsung 20S while checking.tonsee what would fit better.

L’Atelier aka Raphael is specific about his mods, generally the battery he has with him when he designs a mod is the battery that typically only fits with relative ease.

Not sure how the newer Moly’s are made in regards to the divot on the contacts, but with the 18650 versions I had to micromesh the edge of the strip contact where there was a tapered edge to it and slightly take down the negative divot so it wouldn’t eat Sony wraps

Damn, looking back it does look like it dented the battery

Molicels do run a tad large - and Molly's are VERY tight.
I use VTC5A batteries in them. Still tight - but if you're a little careful, you can prevent rips...usually.

(Note - Sony/Murata batteries are a bit hard to find these days...)

Anyone know if the area around quebec is still locked down?

Bought a mod through classies. Don't want to PM with bad timing

Mod was listed months, and delay is partly my end too

Just wondering

Canadian here, if someone is telling you that Quebec is locked down, they're not, as an excuse for not shipping a mod, you have reason for concern. I was in Quebec recently, there's nothing that would stop anyone from shipping something in place.

I'm not too worried, but thankful for feedback system here

I will message him later. I interpreted "Some kind of isolation" (I think it was, might have been quarantine) as lockdown

Thanks man

Quarantine might be different, up to 10 days here in Canada.

Good luck, I hope everything works out.

Happy New Year Fellow Bonkers.

With all the fancy gear I picked up this last season, the daily vape that surprised me the most in 2021 is also the most inexpensive and simplest I’ve ever owned.

The Vandy Vape Requiem with Entheon.

Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous ‘22

*looks on at the "Stumpy Porn" while enjoying his affordable SXK Core clone on a Lost Vape's Furyan mod*

For giggles looked up an authentic core. At $215 USD per unit, they can bet I'll go buy 35 at $6 USD per unit clones.

Yes I know there may be subtle machine nuances. Really though the clones are made of same materials.

What real difference merits the extra cost for authentic, simply brand name? Yep, frag that.

Say I add $4 per unit for shipping, or even $10 now. That's still $199 difference per unit. *smh*

Agree, sure maybe the machining is just a touch better. Not worth no $200 better I can pretty well guarantee.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Reckon some never realize enough is enough. *sighs keeps vaping*

Failure rates aside. Has anyone owned a bomber pro circuit mod?

I worry about 3 clicks off. I take fairy puffs. Usually 2, sometimes 3. And it might turn off

Maybe I could find someone to remove that component of the circuit, if necessary

The only mosfet mod I owned was actually a mosfet. Not a circuit board that people title based on 1 component as "mosfet"
