THE MOST IMPORTANT WEEK IN VAPE – **ACTION CRITICAL**
THE FINAL PUSH IS ON AND PUSH WE MUST!!!
Congress is considering its budget and policy priorities for 2017 NOW!
Members on both sides of the aisle are considering legislation – the Cole-Bishop bill – that would amend the predicate date and provide the necessary protections for vape shops and manufacturers around the country so that our industry can thrive.
CALL your representatives in the House and Senate need to hear from you THIS WEEK so that they know the Cole-Bishop language is a priority.
WHAT’S NEXT? GERMANY!!
Very honored to be joining my BFF Dimitris Agrafiotis in a whole new country (new flag behind me coming soon 🙂 ) as we attend the HALL OF VAPE 2017 in Stuttgart Germany!
May 06 – 07, 2017 at the Neue Messe Exhibition Center

A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Samsung 25R (6M Variant) 18650 Bench Test Results…25R5 is slightly better
This 25R6M is a true 20A cell that performs well but not quite as well as the 25R5 variant. The “M” indicates that this cell was made in their Malaysia factory.
I don’t know if all of the 25R6M’s are like this but both of the ones I tested performed the same. They have the same capacity as the 25R5 but run at a lower voltage, i.e., they don’t hit quite as hard. Tyhe 25R6M does run a bit cooler than the 25R5 though.
I am rating the 25R6M at 20A and 2500mAh.
My thanks to IMRBatteries for donating the two cells for testing (www.imrbatteries.com)!

NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Fully Baked | Hunter Vaping Legislation Ready to Replace Deeming Regs
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
Days could be numbered for the notorious FDA deeming regulations as efforts to repeal and replace gain new momentum. Next week the U.S. Congress is back in session and if all goes according to plan, Rep. Duncan Hunter will introduce comprehensive legislation which would take vapor products out of the tobacco products category and completely shutdown the industry killing PMTA process.
Is the Hunter legislation for real? Hear from the congressman yourself— only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Ampking 30A 3000mAh 20700 Bench Test Results…accurately rated, a good 20700 battery
Bottom Line: This is an accurately rated 20700 cell (20mm diameter x 70mm length) that performs well but not quite as well as the Sanyo NCR20700A.
This Ampking uses a paper top ring insulator that should not be exposed to juice or otherwise it could swell and soften, possibly increasing the risk of the insulator being damaged when put into or removed from a device or charger.
I am rating this Ampking at 30A and 3000mAh.
My thanks to Ampking for donating the two cells for testing (www.ampking.com)!
I don’t know when it will be available, or from which vendors, but I will post updates as I find out.
