That will be very interesting to see the results of, and I look forward to them wether they give good results for most vapers, or the opposite. I can already see at 75W the high amp load. 

I do not have advanced testing equipment, but I have noticed with most of my single cell mods I get better life with a 25R vs a higher capacity 30Q. I can only assume this is due to voltage under load giving me a weak battery message earlier. 1140 MAH doesn't sound much, but I can believe that in our use of said batteries. 

On my DNA75 I do have the cutoff set to 2.75V, which with the batteries I use is within their specification, as is 2.5V but that is the very end of the cycle and any lower would not be good. 

Which mods have you come across that do take batteries this low under load? As I can see how amp levels would be much higher than people assume when the voltage is this low in a regulated mod. 

I think mods that offer 200W+ on 2 18650's are pushing things much too far safety wise, 100W per cell is asking very much from an 18650. 

If you wanted to buy from Fogstar again (I do know Fogstar is quite highly regarded), the LG HE4 is the cheapest option at the moment- £4.15 for one battery, £4.07 for 2 ETC. The 25R is slightly more expensive, but not by much. 

For 2500MAH, 20A cells, I get either 25R's or HE4's, whichever is cheapest. Both will serve you well and work great in your RX 2/3. 

You could also go for one of the 3000MAH, 20A cells, such as the LG HG2, or the Samsung 30Q (This is actually rated at 15A by Samsung, which is still higher than the 10A of your current cells, but Mooch has rated them as a good 20A CDR cell). 

If you are only planning on using the mod at 40W max though, even the 10A batteries will be fine, as long as they are 10A under the wrap. You would be drawing up to around 7.16A in dual 18650 config, even less in triple 18650 config.  
I am pretty sure that particular vendor wouldn't lie though, but am unsure which battery is being used. 

I quite like the look of that mod, and for the price, including an RDA, it is a bargain.

I realised quite a while ago that for me at least, low cost mechs were ideal. I have a large regulated collection, and a fair few mechs, but each of these mechs have been under £30. My two best performers are a all copper, JA clone, which was only $11 and bought with FT points. I didn't expect much due to the price, but it is a solid performer.

The other was more expensive at £24, a Wototo Phantom, but it is probably my favourite performance wise. I see some mechs that go for hundreds of pounds, which is fine if you are into high end mechs, but for the most of us a much cheaper mod will still perform very well for us and keep us happy for much less.

I think I will have to order myself one of these due to the price, thank you for sharing it

If true, that is fair. I do know many people had complaints about Uwell coils in the Crown V2, so it could of well been that. I have not seen any evidence on the contrary though, so am unsure myself. 
Even the Toxicological information posted here does show it as a respiratory irritant. 

Although, I use Ti without worry, and people worry about using that as a coil material, and feel safe doing so. I use it much less than other materials, but still feel OK. I only mentioned in case it was not a known topic here. 

I was not sure if people here were aware or not, only reason I posted- no malice intended . 

First off, I am new here so don't yet know you, but I am very sorry to hear of your loss pipeman01. I wish you the best at this tough time.

Secondly, I am glad you have had a good experience with a brick and mortar, and it helped you out on this occasion in an emergency .

Unfortunately, where I live the B&M shops are pretty rubbish, and the staff are either clueless, or give terrible advice. One store in Basildon, I had the employee telling me how safe his 0.09 build was on his 'competition' mech.
He took it apart, and said see anything different? I said no vent holes? He said yes. I asked if he was going to drill any in, as I probably would myself. His reply was "No, it is lined with silver and vent holes would lower its performance".

I have no problem with people who like to push limits, but when they are announcing it as very safe, and there was a few new vapers with me, and also that vent holes will lower overall performance (remember how much surface area there would still be for conductivity), I don't feel it is too good.

I do understand not everywhere is like Canvey and surrounding areas though, and there are nice places in England lol.

Hi VapingBad . 

I realise Charge rates are different to discharge rates, and also C rating from back in my RC heli days when I used Li-Po packs. I never imagined I would be using similar packs in a smoking alternative in years to come. 
I can sometimes have an odd way of going about explaining things, I do have some damage up top after a period in hospital in 2014. I used to get confused very easily and forgetful on leaving hospital, although it isn't as bad as it once was now.

My main battery of choice is the 25R and the LG HE4, and from both of their datasheets they are identical in specification in regards to their CDR, and also their charge rates. Also other tests are identical if I remember correctly. I don't own any Panasonic batteries myself. 

So going by battery university's advised charge rate, of 0.5-1C, that would be between 1.25A (Samsungs recommended rate) and 2.5A? That is good to know, and I will use 2A charging when I need a battery charging a bit faster. 

OK, even though it is not universally accepted, it is still good to know some tests have been performed and have shown this can occur. 

Thank you for your advice . 

Ahh, my mistake. I had seen a MTL RTA called the Pico, that I had heard good things about. Looking again though, it has 3 small airflow holes, not just the 1 that (I think) is on yours. 

Wow, the mod looks very small, which was why I mistakenly thought it was the nano. I like it in that finish a lot .
