batteries ,what a pain

[mcquinn]

you are correct but Janty sells the same battery for e-cigars ,the Stick and Kissbox passthroughs and it will fit the Joye passthroughs with the battery inline.I don't know about the Stick but the passthroughs do have a circut board external of the battery.

The whole protected thing is getting out of hand. The Chinese commercial bigger battery mods have the protection circuit built into the device, just like all regular e-cig batteries do. People buying the DSE-905 were replacing their new batteries because SLB ships unprotected batts. The units have always been protected, who cares in what fashion. With home-brew mods and expensive American mods a protected battery makes sense. But with all the scare mongering everyone is forced to offer 'protected' cells and folks are trying to cram them they aren't needed.

Now I need to decide if I want to stay exclusive with the 10440's or go for AA size cells and build some more mods

Forget the 10440's. Go with the 14500's, they are basically the same price. You will see a noticeable difference in vape quality as the 14500's will maintain a higher voltage longer than the 10440's which drop rather quickly into so-so category. Also note the protected 14500's are a tight fit in AA plastic boxes and the protection circuit also intrudes on the positive terminal. some trimming of the negative spring and some fiddling at the positive is needed.

Also note this $2.68 price includes shipping.

I have blown a battery up and it was not all that exciting ,it might be if it was sealed tightly in an aluminum pipebomb but I kinda doubt it .I just have an aversion to having one of everything ,I prefer to stick with what I got if it works.I put two of the 10440's in parrallel on two of my mods and it seems to hold up quite well.Maybe when the four 10440's I bought go bad I will make the switch but I am sure the protected 14500's will not fit my UltraFire WF-138 charger.
