Pretty new to real vaping. All shiny and new to this place

[denzil]

Hi vapes, I signed up just now. Started vaping the silly pen style ecigs a while back whilst driving and delivering for multi drop company here in West Sussex uk. I kept losing the chargers for them and batteries kept dying on me so went back to roll ups. I was gutted. Here I am a few months down the line with a new job that sucks and due to low pay and me mismanaging my low pay I realised I couldn't afford to buy tobacco for a month so spent the last 60 notes on an evic-vtc mini regulated mod 60watts upgraded is formate and ended up with it pushing out 75watts and the added function of stainless steel coils use (bonus). And then purchased all the vg and pg and nicotine etc to make my own juice. Happy now because I can charge my battery via usb and no chargers to lose!

Hopfully we can help each other out and learn some stuff?
Could do with help making decent diy juices I've made a couple that are good but you know how hit and miss it is when you start out doing this. .. getting flavours strong enough and getting the mixes right etc.
Anyway. ..enough of the rambling (I blame the whiskey and cokes I've had tonight)
Currently vaping home made toffee apple but got bored so dropped a few drops of vape kitchens milk candy down onto the coils in the ud goblin mini

Hi denzil. And welcome to the forum. First thing I want to know is, what battery have you got in it? And secondly, do you know about battery safety?

Hi mate the battery is 3.7v 2500mah which I bought from my local vape shop in Crawley. I don't think they are brilliant at all in fact I've bought a second one cos the other one seemed to lose its longevity and went flat pretty quick the other day so I had to spend my last £18 on another £10 battery and a bottle of juice that I wish I hadn't cos it's crap (also from the shop )

Battery safety? Tell me more. ..

Hi Denzil and to the forum battery safety is very important but I'm sure a few in here will point you in the right direction the make of your battery would probably help them see if your batteries are suitable for your device I would hope that if you bought the device and battery at the same time your vape shop would have kept you right tho
We have a fantastic mixing section with lots of members recipes I'm sure there are some in there you would like

check out the mixology section mate tonnes of recipes available and any question you ask someone is bound to have an answer.

From your description i'm going to guess you have bought Samsung 25r batteries.
You can get two here for £9.99 www.dnavapes.com/products/set-of-18650inr-samsung-25r-batteries
Theres also a light blue version of the 25r they have the same spec but the newer green ones are supposedly able to take a bigger number of charges before they're no good.
You can get 2 of the blue ones here for £10 www.boldvape.co.uk/batteries/141-samsung-inr18650-25r-2500mah-battery-x2.html

Or there's the LG HE4 batteriesplus.co.uk/acatalog/Pair-of-LG-DB-18650-HE4-Yellow-Li-Ion-IMR-18650-Rechargeable-Battery---3.7-V-2500-mAh-Lithium-cell-1938.html?gclid=COnAg_-f0skCFSgGwwodVFACZA

They all have a 20A continuous discharge rating so they'll be fine in the Evic VTC Mini.

If you can wait for a while you can get batteries cheaper from Chinese vendors you just have to wait several weeks for delivery.

Thanks my batteries have no name stamped on them but both were bought from same shop and apparently the vendor knows his stuff although he's an Indian guy and I found out hard to understand wtf he was on about lol. The first battery he supplied was light blue colour and the second was green but both have same voltage and mah according to the white labels with black typed print...I assumed they are some cheapo type make :/ surely if they were decent they would be proud to have "samsung" or something printed on. .. maybe I'm just suspicious

hi and

some of the 18650's available are only really suitable for use as emergency grenades and if you want them to last longer then getting a decent charge/discharge/tester unit is a must, something like this www.gearbest.com/chargers/pp_160440.html if you want to look after yourself although there are others around that do a decent job if you have the cash then the current sales time is when to buy .... they also flog the Samsung 25r batteries as well but be prepared for this stuff to take 2 months + to arrive I think they have ot hijack the factory to get each shipment there selling them so damn cheap atm.....

as to the rest of it good luck

denzil They don't have brand names on because those types of battery weren't designed to be sold as retail items like duracells and stuff.
They're made for use in battery packs for things like laptops,power tools those kind of things and being enclosed in battery packs they're not seen or individually replaced, once the battery pack is dead you just buy a whole new pack.
