REGULATOR WATCH – Vaping Clampdown? | Royal College of Physicians, John Britton Talks COP7
New from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch!
Is the World Health Organization poised to kill millions of people? Just as vapers in several countries began to feel like events may finally be turning in favor of e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool, the harsh realities of the global public health movement shattered any optimism.
The World Health Organization is just wrapping its Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, known as COP7, in India and according to professor John Britton, Chair of the Tobacco Advisory Group at the Royal College of Physicians in Britain (RCP), the future for vaping looks bleak.
The RCP, Public Health England and the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies have all endorsed e-cigarettes as a vital tool in the battle to end the tobacco epidemic.
Tune in to this special edition of RegWatch and learn why officials from England’s top public health organizations fear that pending WHO regulatory action on e-cigarettes could kill millions of people—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.
A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Panasonic NCR18650PF 10A 2680mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results…an ok low capacity 10A battery
Bottom Line: This is a 10A 2680mAh-rated battery that will often deliver 100mAh more at low current levels. Due to its very high internal resistance and lower capacity though it is easily outperformed by the Panasonic NCR18650GA, LG MJ1, and other high-capacity 10A batteries. I do not recommend using it over 18W/5A to minimize voltage sag.

A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Panasonic NCR18650B 4.9A 3200mAh 18650 Bench Test Results…a so-so 4.9A battery
Bottom Line: This battery is often shown as a 6.4A 3400mAh battery but it’s not. The datasheet clearly shows its rating is 4.875A and 3200mAh. Due to its very high internal resistance and lower capacity it is easily outperformed by the Panasonic NCR18650GA, LG MJ1, and other high-capacity batteries. I do not recommend using it over 12W/3A to minimize voltage sag.

A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Samsung 35E 3500mAh 18650 Bench Test Results…a so-so 8A battery
Bottom Line: This battery has a very high 3500mAh capacity rating but even at just 5A its run time down to 3.2V is a lot shorter than the 3300mAh Panasonic NCR18650GA. Its high internal resistance causes a lot of voltage sag which triggers a regulated mod’s weak battery alert sooner than batteries like the NCR19650GA and MJ1. I am rating it at 8A/3500mAh.

FROM CASAA – Know where your candidates stand on vaping
This election year, several candidates have made a point to express their support for reasonable regulation and policies that will benefit vapor consumers. Unfortunately, like the vaping community, these leaders are in the minority. Going forward, a crucial part of changing the political landscape relies on how we vote and who we vote for.
With only a few days left before the election, please take a moment and visit www.thrvoter.org to see who your candidates are and if they have expressed a position on tobacco harm reduction. And, as always, make sure you are registered to vote and that your information is up to date.
Thank you,
Alex Clark
