Unusual USB power bank, better option, complete £5

[Hampton]

Was hoping mine would be here before the Easter break but no.
Instead I amused myself by buying a big lump of nic-base and a few more shiney bits. I'm now about £150 lighter.

Perhaps Fast tech isn't working out so cheap after all. lol

i am sure those that robby (mr Vamo queen) has posted are just battery holders with a couple of led's and a usb ready for you to put a circuit in but still a great buy for the case alone and the batt holders.
insert a module, atty connector and a switch and you have a 3 bat vv mod for peanuts

LoL.. this is what worries me with a new supplier (new to me), ordered some juice to test the water and crossing fingers it arrives.

I was silly and added an item which has 'shipped in 5 days' status. Never noticed and now wondering if I should remove said item from order.
Also getting more Panasonic batteries..the CGR18650CG green ones 2250mah. Excellent value for money considering you can get almost the full 2250 mAh out of them at the cut off 3.3 volts. The larger ones are more expensive and will not give very much more power if cutoff is 3.3v. Also the drop from 4.2 to 3.6v is better (flatter and more mAh) so a better choice for non regulated mods. The suffix CH is the same except does not have a PTC for protection against shorts ( so I believe) so can give up to 10 Amps. Who needs 10 amps let alone 4.7 amps of the CG which is cheaper and I would rather have the additional safety should a battery get shorted.

I have both those batts and have stuck to using the green ones in my Vamo, I get well over a day using them.

Has anyone tried the new Panasonic JK01042013AF 18650 size which has a capacity of 8000 mAh and so should last about 4 times longer and has very flat output voltage of 4 volts and can be recharged in a standard charger in under 1 hour?

No one taken the bait then with my little silly April Fool.

Hopefully my orders should be here later this morning. Just checked the tracking info and it said that they both arrived in the UK on Friday.

Hi Mev, you have nothing to worry about, it`s about two weeks, but they are very efficient in what they do, two or three people appear to check the order, they are very good communicators, answer emails quickly. Also they dont say they have shipped something if they havent. It has been three days sometimes before an item has shipped, but I would rather that than be told something has been shipped the same day I paid for it when in fact it hasnt been shipped at all. I ordered some E liquid a couple of days ago and it was shipped today. All i want from a vender is the truth, and I am pretty sure we are getting it from this vender. I have had aboyt six orders from them so far with a few more in the pipeline, more than happy with them :-) Mev


Did you notice if you go to your account on the site, they actually take a pic of each order when it is shipped, hard to make out the print on the label, but I can see my address on the package okay

Robby,
Have you used this vendor before & haw long is standard del time?

[Greigster]

Received my batteries from then in about 14 days from ordering and the little pen light gas torch was received 5 days after despatch. Great company and as Robby said, if you go to your account and check order, there is a photo of your package including your address on the envelope

[denis9t9]

Thanks Greigster,
Was looking for a charger may give them a try not in a rush as Son in law has not returned from China with my goodies yet

Yes I have Denis, as for standard delivery time, it`s about 2 weeks, the usual far East "slow boat" shipping. 

[denis9t9]

Ok,
Thanks Robby, you will soon have to buy a bigger property to keep all your gear in. lol

Just as I finished that post, the doorbell rang and postie was there (thought they were off lol) and low and behold the battery case was there and it is exactly the same as the pic, on reflection, the completed version

www.fasttech.com/products/0/10003913/1280801-4x18650-emergency-mobile-power-rechargeable-batter

is the better option for a fiver.

The other one is good value for a £2 mod box maybe (even as a case), good battery hardware in there and switches etc. A 4 18650 battery mod pretty easily achievable for a weeks vaping.
