After seeing a post about this cell on the Fluid Vapor website I picked up a couple and I’m glad I did.  I’m very impressed with this battery.

It appears to be outperforming all others in my collection.

It’s been added to the Battery Info section and there are some photos and discharge graphs below.

I especially like the labeling on this cell, clearly indicating that it’s rated at a 10Amp draw.

I’ve got it in the device I’m testing now and I’ve never seen a cell maintain a 4.1V charge after this much vaping.

A sincere thank you to Julian Perez and MODBLOCK for this new mod holder. I love it. It has a new home in my chair!

I am 28 and have smoked for 14 years on and off. I quit for a few years then life slapped me in the face. (Doesn’t she always?) Then in early 2010 I found Vaping. I stayed with it for about 3 months. But my Volcano atty’s & “tank-o-mizers” just weren’t doing it for me. Horrible VTF. So I stopped. So I continued to smoke until I found out I was pregnant. I quit. Until after he was born when, once again, life pushed me into the muck. I started (Analogs) up once again. I stopped (Vaped)…… Then started (Analogs)…… Fail. I was sitting on my computer one day and found literally by accident GrimmGreen. (I was looking up the show Grimm) Which led me to your videos eventually led me to yours then to your site with just oodles of information!!! The rest is history!!!

Blessings,

A CRAZY looking device launching at the end of the month from Innokin.  They’re calling it the itaste 134.  Here’s a first look:

A new section has been added to the Information section to the left… Battery Information!

This is a work in progress.

I eventually want this section to contain an overview on battery chemistry & battery safety in addition to the battery tests that will live there.

I have some battery discharge graphs there now with more to come.

A PBusardo Review – BT804 Dream Tank & Contest Winner

In this vid, we talk about the upcoming Battery Info section on TasteYourJuice, my not so dreamy experience with the Dream tank, and pick the winner of the “Fictional Drink” contest.

Post Review Follow-Up:
6/4/13 – Well, according to the comments coming in on YouTube, I’m doing it wrong. However, I followed the instructions as presented on the website:

So I’m going to take a look at the comments, compile them, and see if I can get any better performance out of this one.  Cause right now, it’s more of a nightmare than a dream.

I am 41 and was a smoker from age of 15, started out with cigarettes and
then went to cigars wich I smoked from about 19 to 41.I smoked the little cigars and
about 2 packs a day sometimes more . Tried pills” Chantix ” plus a list of other
stuff doctor prescribed but they helped very little . I also tried snus witch didn’t
help at all so I tried reg chewing tobacco that didn’t last long. Then I decided to
try disposable e cigs they were ok but not what I wanted so I got one of the ego
style kits with juice, this time it worked I love vaping now and don’t crave any
type of tobacco at all. I enjoy vaping and I can breathe good smell stuff and taste
buds are back. It has only been 3 weeks but I don’t want to smoke ever again and my
family is very happy about that

Hello Phil
First I would like to thank you for all of the useful information I have received
from your videos and web site, they have made my personal vape experience much more
enjoyable.

I am a newbie to the vaping world at just two months in. I was a pack and a half day
marb light smoker for the past eight or so years when a friend introduced me to
electronic cigs.
I bought my first kit from a local vape shop and was instantly hooked! After the
first month however, I was starting to get frustrated, my basic ego clone style kit
was not cutting it anymore , I had spent more money than expected trying to upgrade
attys and tanks batteries etc. and was not satisfied with the quality of vapor I was
getting from my set ups. I was clueless about vv watts ohmz and how different
systems work on different devices, I figured if it fits it should work and that
should be that. You can imagine my frustration after spending over $200 the first
month on pretty much incompatible equipment. I was just about to give up and stray
back to analog when I came across one of your reviews on youtube. The information
and ease of understanding (some of the terminology was like trying to understand
Korean), really appealed to me and I thought I would give it another shot. Your
review on the Kanger pro tank was the game changer for me, a relatively inexpensive
system that I could use on my ego c twist 1100 mah and produce great vapor, taste
and throat hit “VTF”. I have also purchase the evod after your review on it and just
love it! My next step is upgrading to an apv and the information you have on this
site for this category has been the most helpful yet. So in conclusion to this
rambling e mail :] I would just like to thank you again for what you do, the vast
information and knowledge I have received from your forums have really made my
experience great!! Thank you and happy Vapping! :]
