That hurt my head jcat and I read it the other day in the main thread and this was way shorter.

What about Teflon like in that pinnical vape in the airpath.

Sorry Dreamer :) ... I know I can be a little wordy/rambly at times but sometimes its difficult to present my rambling thoughts in any coherent way even to myself :lol: ...

I'm pretty sure Teflon as used in most vapes (apart from maybe the flaking Teflon coated ceramic Solo bowls?) is pretty darn safe ... for instance the whole bowl/chamber used in the MiniVAP is Teflon ... not to mention the cone ... so the MiniVAP uses Teflon (PTFE) extensively, and it seems super inert (no taste at all and quite possibly the cleanest tasting vape I own)

Edit: forgot about the Cera ... the Cera tastes as inert ... that high-grade ceramic has no taste like Teflon and glass ...

Oh I didn't know that PTFE was teflon...I don't know anything I see. I have a smooth flow which has that and of course my INH and others.

I actually liked what you wrote but a second time hurt but you know I am playing with you.

So how do you like the cera vs the INH vs the solo? I think it would be way to hard for me especially with the switch, having to open and repack all sounds like work to me. I am really disappointed. Maybe the ascent will pay off or the pinnacle which I had no interest in cause it is not my style but who knows.

Anyone have any input on how the Cera LL compares to the VB Pinnacle for vapor production?

Got mine today as well, Ordered Jan 3 for those curious. Thing is pretty sweet. Charging the batteries ATM but thought i should let u JAN pre orders know the time is coming. :rockon::rockon:


double edit: After looking through my email I actually did get tracking info from TET, the email came soon after i ordered 4 batteries from amazon so I didnt pay close enough attention and thought it was tracking for the batteries.

Ordered mid January and got my shipping notice a couple hours ago. Didn't purchase the batteries or charger so that may have helped get it out a little sooner (or not).

I just got my shipping notice at 6pm last night! I was around my bandmates and I just exploded with excitement after reading my email. From a bystanders view youd think I just saw my favortie sports team win a world championship. :rockon:

I have some of their Twas Brillig juice and I like it. It's the first e-juice I've purchased, so I'm not the most experienced person to give an impression. But, it does taste very good to me and the ordering experience with them is amazing, excepting the long wait for shipping. It took me 3 weeks to get my order, but they included a tiny sampler bottle of their orange creamsicle flavor and all of the packaging is personalized and amazing. Unfortunately I'm using some really crappy e-cig gear that I got for free. Can't wait to upgrade to the Cera liquid cart.

Hello FC Members,

I just got my tracking. Jan 31 order date.

This will make up for my second broken VXH Cloud. My friends Cloud just broke yesterday too.

I recommend Heathers Heavenly Vapes. I bought a huge pass along mega sampler pack with 12 AIV juices & a bunch if others. the AIV flavors all tasted similar, I was expecting better. HHV is wild stuff. The sampler pack had 7 difft top shelf brands, HHV ruled by a good margin.

I ordered 4 more batteries.. thats 6 i have total.
Once the Cera batts. are charged do they lose charge from just sitting around waiting to be used?

Li-ion batteries do not lose much charge while stored, but they should not be stored for long at full charge. The recommended storage charge is 40%.

valuable info. i find a lot of times batteries for a vape can be more finnicky than the vape itself. but these seem like pretty good batteries they have picked out for the cera.

One of the things to beware of is the number of counterfeit batteries out there. The 18650 form factor isn't commonly available in stores so you usually have to go online. That opens the door for the scammers.

Take this CGR18650CH that people are scrambling to buy. That's because it's been discontinued, so guess what the counterfeiters out there are thinking? I'd be really careful if I came across what looked like a good deal on them. I'd want to be sure that the vendor is reputable and that my purchase is protected. Amazon rather than DealExtreme, for example.

Also, it's highly unlikely that any of the stock Li-ion chargers shipped by any manufacturer is actually a good charger. In fact, I'm not sure there is a good Li-ion charger for less than $50. All of the cheap inexpensive chargers, including the sort vapourizer manufacturers are shipping, do not terminate charging properly. Each cycle reduces the battery lifespan more than the last one. It's an ever-steepening decline, and vapourizers already use batteries in a way that shortens their lifespan.

Many of us MFLB owners invested the money to buy a good NiMH charger like the Maha MH-C9000 (~$60). I suspect that a lot of Cera (and FV) owners will be trying to figure out what charger to get soon. That will be fun.

Pak, So what charger is best for the batteries us Cera users are using?

I'd be willing to invest in a good charger if the one I have now is going to run my batteries down over time.

This is why I said it would be fun. It's not easy to find an answer to your question. First, a disclaimer: I am by no means a battery expert and anything I say could be wrong. Having said that, if you don't need to charge LiFePO4 (3.2V batteries, FV owners take note) then my searches tell me that the best choice is probably the Pila IBC charger. (I don't own one.) There are other choices but you have to check carefully if you want to find one that terminates properly. I have no idea how much this affects battery life, by the way, I just know that improper termination shortens it.

The 18650 world really isn't oriented towards loose battery use. They're really meant to be used in packs like the ones for laptops, or built into devices with their own charging circuitry. It's been like that for at least five years so I'm not expecting much to change.

Hey guys, total noob to the battery scene and was wondering if the Panasonic CGR18650CH 3.6 Volt Li-ion 18650 Battery 2250 mAh would properly charge using the TET supplied Tenergy charger? Sorry if this has been covered ad nauseum. Thanks in advance.

Yup, that'll work perfect. That battery is the most sought after right now. No need for apology; batteries are confusing!
