Different question. I am happy with my stock batteries. Has anyone switched to the 2700 mahas and been surprised by the increase in quality?
Honestly, MFLB is so kick ass.
Hey Eddy, I have a bunch of batts, including 6 of the stock ones (bought directly off blisssville and/or vapeworld or whatever that place is called-- nice guys there), probably 4 low discharge ansmann 2500 mah and 4 maha 2700s.
i initially thought the higher rating would mean more power output from the batt, but this is not true to my experience. i work at a robotics firm with a bunch of electrical engineers and i asked them about this once, and they said that if the voltage is constant the power output will be the same. but the voltage will not be constant and the battery with the lower power rating will start dropping its voltage faster than the higher rated battery. not sure how much truth there is to this but these guys usually know what they are talking about.
so, it would seem that the higher rated batt should not only last longer but generate more output. but i have not found this to be true. or if it is, the difference is not stark enough for me to notice. i really don't notice a diff in longevity either but there obviously is a difference, i just have not paid attention probably.
frankly, for some unknown reason, i prefer the ones i bought from blisssville and vapeworld (think i got my lb from vapeworld and bought some extras, and then picked some up from blisssville later) -- the stock batts. i am not sure why, i just find myself reaching for those over the others even though i know they carry no benefit over the others in reality .
i did buy the maha c-900 or 9000 or whatever it is called charger. real fancy. again, i thought this charger would do something to my old batts to make them more powerful, outputting more power, allowing me to take quicker but more powerful hits, but i have not found this to be true, no matter what the science behind all this dictates. instead, i find that batts last a little longer now that i did the whole refresh and analyze etc. stuff with this charger. the charger is also good for slow charging, which is what i do these days. was it a good purchase, this charger? i am not exactly sure, since it does cost some cash. it is obviously nice to have longer lasting batts while on the move (although, most of the time i don't really go out long enough to need more than 2-3 batts which is easy to carry in a pocket, and if i do go out for long enough, then i prepare and carry more batts, those batt carrying cases come handy then, or i just roll joints, so it is kind of a wash for me.)
the PA seems like a great idea, but for some reason i am not interested at the moment. a thing i like about the lb is there is nothing tying it to an electrical outlet, and i wanna keep it that way. got others for home use. the claims of more power output make the pa very attractive to me though. i may pick one up at some point.
sorry for the long post, i can't seem to say something without making it a long assed rant hehe.
edit:
oh, also wanted to say: the boston t is what the subway is called here. no issues for me. i don't use a juice carton etc to hide the box (though, you fuckers with the creative camouflage are brilliant!) and never really had a problem. but, sure, if you want to get creative like the guys above, the juice carton and the coke thing are very awesome and definitely would make things less sketchy i'd imagine! boston is a college town and smoking weed isn't really a big deal, so ymmv. def be careful if you can help it brother. (just noticed you're from new york city. you'll be fine vaping on the subway.)
Go watch it now! hehe, kidding. Off to work I go.
