Channel Title: Battery Mooch Channel Description: Since Summer 2015 I have been working to expose exaggerated li-ion battery ratings and give vapers the real scoop on the batteries we use. Testing over 200 different batteries, as of late 2017, has given me a unique view on the struggles we face when choosing, purchasing, and using these batteries. With this channel I hope to make that all a bit easier. Finding Me: My blog at ECF has my battery ratings table links, test report links, and my blog entries. Please check there first or in the pinned post at the top of my Mooch Facebook page. Disclaimer: Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of personal injury or property damage. They are not meant to be used outside of a protected battery pack. Never exceed the battery’s continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing. <video> Minding Your Mechs Ep030 – Thunderhead Creations Tauren in copper, brass, and stainless steel Description: Minding Your Mechs Ep030 – Thunderhead Creations Tauren in copper, brass, and stainless steel In this video I test the voltage drop of the copper, brass, and stainless steel versions of the Thunderhead Creations Tauren. I also test whether the dielectric grease used in the switch helps or hurts performance. CAUTION: - Do not use this device unless you understand and fully accept the risks of using a hybrid top mechanical device. - Do not use this device unless you understand how to use Ohm’s Law to choose a proper battery for the way you vape. - Never use an atomizer unless it has a fixed, protruding 510 pin which is approved for use on a hybrid top mechanical device. - Keep the plastic battery wrap and top ring insulator in PERFECT condition. - Verify the resistance of your coils and atomizer on a regulated device first.

Description

Since Summer 2015 I have been working to expose exaggerated li-ion battery ratings and give vapers the real scoop on the batteries we use. Testing over 200 different batteries, as of late 2017, has given me a unique view on the struggles we face when choosing, purchasing, and using these batteries.

With this channel I hope to make that all a bit easier.

Finding Me:
My blog at ECF has my battery ratings table links, test report links, and my blog entries. Please check there first or in the pinned post at the top of my Mooch Facebook page.
