Discharge @ 10A.

Guess which one is the fake?

Pretty much - bottom is time rather than capacity, but can calculate from time.

Set to discharge at 10A, 2.8V or 1 min cutoff (whichever comes first) then rest for 2 minutes and repeat.

The fake HE4 has much worse voltage drop, runs warmer but not hot - but then again I'm not constantly discharging @ 10A, only 1 minute at a time.

Yellow = original HE4 temp
Red - fake HE4 temp

Orig vs clone HG2. Much better than the HE4 at least

Anyone here tried making clapton from SS?

I believe the VTC5 15C is more of a pulse rating rather than constant current discharge.

For constant I believe they're rated @ 20A as per their data sheet but when vaping you're not going to be holding down the fire button for more than 5-10 seconds or so at a time anyway.

I'll be on rewrapped batteries too after unwrapping mine and testing

Not sure what to do with the fake ones I have now - probably get a bicycle light which takes 18650s

I can't notice any significant differences in the build quality.

I do prefer the DNA200 version though (to fiddle with the Escribe software mostly) but again there's a big price difference between the 2

Got it from a seller on Lelong at launch - was RM730. I thin you can buy them a bit cheaper now on Shopee etc

Free shipping - always ends up going via Singapore post.

I used EMS a few times and although faster always got stopped by customs and charged duty / GST.

How do you use bank exchange rate ? I'd prefer this to PayPal ! Can earn more credit card points that way too

Damn I need to pay more attention, I'll pay attention when I next order something

Try Scottish roll wicking method ... Holds more juice !

Both times was around RM50-60

Actually I wouldn't mind so much if it was fast .. But it isn't really much faster than the free shipping.

From HK/China to Malaysia around a week , tracking always takes a few days to update.

Once it arrives it'll show as held for customs inspection - 3-4 days later a letter arrives which has to be filled in and sent to them by email or fax with the invoice.

Once the customs charging is applied they'll send it to the local Poslaju office for collection. Charge is GST (in my case RM50-60)

With the free option which ends up going by Singapore post it takes a similar amount of time as it doesn't seem to get stopped by customs adding all the hassle inbetween.

Also I don't drive so if I need to collect that's an extra RM50 Uber ride on top!

Dual triple twisted 32g SS 316L in Aromamizer today - lots of flavour and vapour.

Not easy on batteries though ! Stays at over 100W to keep at 440F!

Rewrapped some of the batteries I was testing on - see thru with black O ring

See thru wrap is actually quite useful - can mark them underneath the wrapper with marker before wrapping - when I write on the wraps it always wears off after not too long!

The other Shopee guy keong2323 also sells fake HG2, and they're quite a bit worse than joenida's fake HG2s. At 10 on/off discharge measuring capacity at only around 1500mAh (blue line)

You mean 2 different resistances - ie. coil 1 0.25 Ohm, coil 2 0.5 Ohm?

One coil would get hotter than the other, and TC wouldn't work

Yeah I ordered those 510 stands from FT too.

Been buying far too much vaping stuff .. some of the tanks (Crius, TFV4, Crown) I have in both black and silver to match different mods

I have a drawer full of juices etc.

And some of those Daiso boxes for wire - I think I've got some of every guage of Kanthal (ribbon, round), Ti, Ni200, 316L (but only really using 316L at the mo..) .. now looking for 317L to try
