Click through the modes and have your wife slap you in the back of the head whenever you start whining. Eventually you'll stop whining.

Gj, something tells me it wasn’t Scotty that was whining when changing modes…I could be wrong though.

What…that…I…

Comfy! Explain yourself! :expressionless: Don’t just flash photos without explaining them!

Yes, where would you mount the earplugs?

Comfy is using the shielded inductor instead of the open toroid, the shielded inductor makes the driver much quieter.

Buut I’m not whiiiiniiiiiiiing. LOL, Gj. I mount the plugs in my nose so the lithium fire smell does not bother me.

There's a new 2-3 cell driver as well as the new Efest 35A 2500mAh (untested) cell and Sony VTC4 available on the site now! A few other restock items (Noctigon, etc.) also arrived today and I'm getting them accounted for and up as we speak.

Wow da. EFEST 35A 2500 mAh? the Samsung 24R killer or equal maybe? Thanks Richard!!

I also have 25R on the way, but they may be a week or so still. None of the suppliers have even heard of the 24R? It's also not on Samsung's website, but the 25R is. Not quite sure what's up with that.

VTC4, do tell… More about the C4

Here's a 25R: http://www.akkuteile.de/samsung-inr18650-25r-2500mah-3-7v/a-100657/

Weird, maybe proto/pre-prod, maybe fake?

Wut? U never heard of SuPower Battery? No SuP for you...

Edit: Can't find the Efest 35A 2500mAh? 18650 or 26650?

Upper left hand corner, Latest - picture of purple cells…

But yeah Richard, the new 26650’s are nowhere to be found.

Ahh, left side of home page - stupid me, I was look'n in the battery section . Pretty purple, hhmmmm. Well it can have tulips on it if it can beat a Sam 20R... The 24R or 25R Samsung is rated at 25A I believe.

This site: http://www.batterysupports.com/liion-battery-c-4_5.html?page=1&sort=20a is interesting in that it has lots of hot batteries and lists their internal resistance. According to them, the SONY is a little lower than the 20R or 24R/25R, but 2500 mAh is really nice...

Richard: I have to know -- what's the deal with that 5A driver? is it a Super Shocker contender or pretender? 5A ain't enough (of course for me) -- can she go higher on us?

Tom, it can go much higher.... I've had it up to 7A with 20Rs but I'm not sure how long it will last at that current. Haven't time to thoroughly abuse it yet to see how long it will hold up. I ran it for about two minutes and it felt pretty hot but it was in the open air.

My Efest 35A is just about done charging... will let you know how it does vs a freshly charged 20R in a little bit.

RMM - I'm lik'n everything I'm hearing from you lately... Watch out!

How did u get the 7A? 3S cells, 3 LED's? Any resistor modding, etc.? 2 mins of runtime is fine for me.

7A was with 3 cells, 3 XM-L2s installed in a BTU shocker. I had the driver sitting loose with access to the battery carrier. Completely bypassed the resistor going into the inductor. This seemed to put it into at least direct drive. I think that a few stacked resistors might be more reasonable.

Not much to explain, just an fet and a shielded inductor.

Ok, I guess that the VTC4s were a big hit, they're already sold out. The new Efests are going fast. I think that the vaping community got wind of it.
