A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Ampking 40A-50A 3000mAh 21700…performs identically to Samsung 30T but in a different can
This cell performs identically to the incredible Samsung 30T, including temperature, but is in a different steel can. I was told it is a Samsung 30T by Ampking but I am unable to explain the use of a different can.
The Samsung 30T and its rewraps, like this Ampking, are the highest performing and hardest hitting cells available to us as of May, 2018.
This Ampking’s “40A-50A” current rating is exaggerated and undefined but the 3000mAh capacity rating is accurate.
I am estimating this Ampking’s ratings at 35A and 3000mAh, same as the Samsung 30T.
Two cells were donated for the purposes of testing by Ampking (http://www.ampking.com). Thank you!

I want to work for the vaping community full time! If you feel what I do is worth a couple dollars a month please consider becoming a patron and supporting my testing efforts: https://www.patreon.com/batterymooch
These tests only note the estimated ratings for these batteries at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” batteries or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of personal injury or property damage. They are not meant to be used outside of a protected battery pack. Never exceed the battery’s continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.
Any rating in the tables can change at any time as different grade cells appear on the market or we get swamped with fakes. Please, never assume that the ratings in the table are permanent and will never change! Always download the latest version before considering any cell purchase.

Hi Phil
Just watching the smokers show today have watched every episode since you started.
I have sent a link to four of my work college’s of each episode’s and all of them understand a lot better what benefits vaping have over smoking.
Each of them came to me to help them purchase a starter kit and juice this was 3 weeks ago since they started and they all are loving it and 100% off the stinkys.
So guys your show is doing a good job educating smokers about the benefits of vaping we as vapers need to advise smokers where to view your show so we all have a part to play to get this info out.
I was watching tonight and when you were discussing the benefits over smoking its not just a health benefit we have a large area of our country that suffers every year from bush-fires evidence says a lot of these are started from smokers throwing smoke butts from vehicles this would be eliminated if they vape not to mention all the cigarette buts that litter our streets and waterways
So at the end of the day vaping is a cleaner and healthier solution for us as people and the environment.
Keep up the good work guys
Thanks
Jeff

VTA ANNOUNCES NATIONAL CONVERSATION
ON MARKETING STANDARDS
SIGN UP TODAY!
VTA has been providing detailed guidance and leadership on the issue of proper product marketing and marekting standards for more than one year. Now, in light of FDA’s enforcement actions against improperly marketed products last week, VTA will host A National Conversation on Marketing Standards on May 16, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. (EDT) / 1:00 p.m. (CDT) / 11:00 a.m. (PDT).
This conversation will focus on three key areas:
- Review FDA’s actions and the claims FDA is asserting.
- Strategies for dealing with product removals (whether you are a retailer, wholesaler or manufacturer) arising from FDA enforcement actions.
- VTA Marketing Standards for Membership and what your company needs to do to address this core concern.
This is an important conversation. We encourage you to SIGN UP TODAY for this online meeting. We also encourage you to send this e-mail to anyone and everyone in the industry that you know. Because this discussion is too important, we are not limiting it to VTA members, but are offering our thoughts to the entire industry. Don’t hesitate. SIGN UP TODAY!
————————————————————-
BACKGROUND, ICYMI: On Tuesday, May 1, 2018, the FDA announced that it and the Federal Trade Commission had jointly issued warning letters to 13 companies covering 8 specific products. The FDA claims these products are misbranded under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, while the FTC claims they violate regulations governing unfair or deceptive marketing. Specifically, they cite the fact that it is the “labeling and/or advertising that cause them to imitate food products, particularly ones that are marketed toward, and/or appealing to, children.” As importantly, FDA is taking the position that such marketing may drive children to consume the product which, of course, is neither intended nor safe. Though it has been covered broadly in the media, it is important that you review the FDA’s statement and warning letters yourself, which you can do by clicking here.
The industry can and should expect that more warning letters covering even more products will be issued to more companies. FDA has clearly indicated that this was only the first round. What this means for your company depends on the products that you are selling and/or marketing.
VTA is again calling upon all of its member companies to adopt the VTA Marketing Standards for Membership and to ensure that their marketing and selling practices are conducted in accordance with those practices. These standards should be adopted by all companies within the distribution chain as we all have a responsibility to ensure that from manufacture to distribution to retail, we are not putting a target on our backs and undermining the enormous work that we are doing to convince regulators that this industry can and will act in a responsible manner.
Thank you for taking the time to join us on May 16, 2018.

From David
Hey old friend. Years ago you recommended the MVP 2.0 and the Aspire Nautilus to
help me quit smoking. It worked, for five years. Then work got to me. Recently due
to staffing shortages and a promotion I have been working seven days a week, this
has been going on for months. (I work with at risk youth in a residential setting).
I had long since moved on from the mouth to lung crowd and into the 3mg sub ohm
crowd. As work got more and more stressful, I became more and more desperate for an
outlet for stress, and eventually broke down and bought a pack of the dreaded stink
sticks. You know the story from there. I noticed the change almost immediately, I
was more tired, I ran out of breath faster, I was getting colds more frequently. I
tried to quit using my current mods and tanks, however 3mg direct lung just wasn’t
enough. So I started researching mouth to lung. It was then that I found the
Platform Series and the Kroma-A and Zenith tank. I received it today. I smoked my
(hopefully) last cigarette today. Not only was it comforting finding a product that
you had a hand in developing it was comforting seeing you not only still at it, but
still the same as you were years ago. Honest reviews, a little comedy, and a
willingness to help. Thanks again my friend, for again saving me.
