Torchy batteries for a mech

[dannyw14]

Would someone be able to confirm for me which Torchy batteries are alright for using with a mech, for a 0.5-1 ohm dripper?

Don't want to spend more than £15 (unless I have to). Are the efest 30amp IMRs OK?


(Got all my preparations done for cooking Christmas dinner, including pre-making 8 portions of hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict which was such a PITA. So I thought I'd do some shopping)

Just get Torchies own 30A sony's (They are the VTC4's), and are only £11.99 for the pair direct. Either that or I would go for his 30A Samsungs at 2500 mAh for £12.99

Torchy blue (18650, 2600 mah) are well worth purchasing. Best battery merchant.

Also a charger worth it's weight in gold is the Xtar WP2, In drunken moments (whoops) I've left them overnight and come down to find a powered up battery, a WP2 off charge, and a house not in flames.

Not torchy but these are decent www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181555601847?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Been using them in a mech with a dripper at .7 ohm with no issues

Good job on the hollandaise... my OH has a penchant for eggs benedict too and has made a request for it on xmas morning. Luckily she's not overly posh and happy with the powdered stuff from asda (powdered hollandaise that is not eggs, lol)

Off topic... got up late today (last day at work before the holidays, plus the cat was meowing all night, and I got a cramp in a foot at 2.30, excuses excuses) so arrived 10 mins late at work. What was I on about? Oh yeah, I forgot to change the battery at home on my vaporshark, so had to use my isticky on breaks on the way to work, on (one) break, and on the way home. It performed like a champ at 10W. Hooray for isticks!

[dannyw14]

Am I being stupid, is there somewhere to get them other than the eBay shop? I'm not seeing the £12.99 VTC4s

Hollandaise isn't that difficult, just requires patience. But the more eggs you use, the longer it takes to emulsify, 4x the eggs, 4x the time...
