A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Beware of high-amp, high-capacity battery ratings!
If you’re thinking of trying any of the high amp-rated, high capacity 18650 batteries just remember…
There are no 3000mAh batteries rated above 20A (continuous).
There are no over-3000mAh batteries rated above 10A (continuous) and some are a lot lower.
If the wrap says otherwise, it’s a false rating and that company is not being honest with you.
A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Shockli Blue 30A 2400mAh 18650 Bench Test Results…a poor performing 17A battery
Bottom Line: This is a poor performing cell that I am rating at 17A/2400mAh. While the wrap does list both the continuous and pulse ratings, normally a very good thing, its claimed 30A continuous rating is wildly exaggerated. Its high internal resistance, nearly double that of most good 20A cells, means that it suffers from considerable voltage sag. At 25A continuous it got hot enough to boil water and at its claimed 30A continuous rating its voltage quickly collapsed. Its pulse performance was significantly below that of most 15A-20A cells. Its appearance doesn’t match any battery I’ve tested so far.

“VAPING PLIERS”
Several people have asked me about these pliers that have made a few appearances in the videos, so I thought it time for a post.
They were gifted to me by the “Tall Tile Guy” (he is very tall by the way 🙂 ) at an event and I’ve used them a LOT. They’ve gotten me out of some stuck situations without scratching up my tanks or devices.
He sells them on Ebay and you can click the photo to be taken to the listing.

MOLECULE LABS STEPS UP TO SUPPORT “A BILLIONS LIVES” NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE!
By now you know that the documentary A Billion Lives will be premiering in the United States on August 6th. What you may not know is how critically important it was for Molecule Labs (manufacturer for vape liquid brands such as Cuttwood, Halcyon, VonVape, and Volcano, among others) to step up with a significant sponsorship of the after-party. Without that commitment, the North American premiere (and the noise around it) would have been delayed. In the film publicity game, success is gaining wide attention – which is best accomplished with the one-twopunch of a well-attended premiere screening, and a huge, crowded, highly publicized after-party. Large sponsors are always necessary to make these events successful.
As a result of Molecule Labs’ support for vaping and belief in the importance of this documentary, there will not only now be a timely North American premiere (a mere two days before the FDA regulations start kicking in), but also five weeks of increasing media attention (traditional and social); highlighting the corrupt, unethical, and borderline evil opposition to what should be hailed as the largest public health advancement since germ theory. We are in a critical period in the history of vaping, public health, and freedom, and this couldn’t be coming at a better time.

A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Efest Metallic Purple 7A 700mAh 18350 Bench Test Results.. a poor performing 4A battery
Bottom Line: This metallic wrap Efest cell is a poor performer and I rate it at 4A. It is much worse than its predecessor, the 7A 700mAh V2 purple cell and performs very much like the V1 version. Its capacity is good for its rating though and I rate it at 800mAh. It lists both the continuous and pulse ratings on the wrap, which could be a good thing, but the continuous rating is exaggerated and the pulse rating is meaningless without knowing the pulse width, duty cycle, and the criteria for setting the rating (temperature? run time? voltage sag?).
