Question About Wraps

One of my 18650 batteries had a snag so I did my first re-wrap. I thought I had it positioned well before turning on the hair dryer but seems I got way more wrap on the pos end than on the neg end of that Samsung 30-Q. Here it is next to an original wrap. There's not much wrap at all on the negative end. Do you think it's ok or should do over?

 

I have a couple 20700 batts that need rewrapping but I'll never buy 20700 batts again so I don't want to buy a bunch of 20700 wraps.

Will a 21700 wrap fully shrink on a 20700?  

I have an iPV Mini that the finish is starting to look a little bad in certain areas on the mod.

I am going to cover it with a vinyl wrap, but can't decide what to buy.

Pricewise, the J-Wrap and Vapor Skinz are at least double the price or more than the wraps you can buy off of Ebay from companies such as "MightySkinsDecals1"

Are these Ebay wraps in the $7.00 - $8.00 price range of much poorer quality than the expensive J-Wraps, Vapor Skinz, etc?

Thanks,  

At what point does a peeling 18650 battery wrap become unsafe? Some of mine are starting to peel back where it wraps at the base. Thanks!  

Now that most of the stocking up is behind us, what would be a suitable procedure for maintaining items in storage?

For regulated mods, keeping them dry is probably all that is needed. But should the sealed wrap be removed to avoid condensation inside?

How about atomizers? I had a problem in removing the cap from a used RDA after it was in storage for two years. Had to resort to using WD40 because the o-rings became adhered to the metal surfaces. I ruined the o-rings in the process. Would it make sense to go through and disassemble/reassemble things at certain time intervals? Should items be stored disassembled? Will o-rings become permanently compressed over time? Maybe put some vg on the o-rings for storage? Or should o-rings be removed? It's already been said that things should be cleaned/soaked before going into storage.

I have one RDA that gets sticky while in use. I remove the cap about once a week, just so I can.

What do you do? What do you think?

we had ourselves quit the time .

met some wonderfully interesting folks , as always .

thank you for watching .  

When calculating builds on Steam Engine for parallel builds, is the wrap count the total of wraps counting each strand, or total wraps for the unit of strands?

Example: I want build X using 2 parallel strands of 28g Kanthal, and for my given resistance, SE says use 14 wraps. Is that 7 wraps with parallel wires, or 14 wraps counting the parallel wires as a single wire?

Thanks in advance, guys. I'm trying to experiment with some creative builds and I want to waste as little wire as I can on missed resistance.  

I'm not battery expert so I am not sure how everything works, but here are my concerns.

My Smok Thallo can charge at a 1.2A current but it is a USB-C, why include a USB-C if 5V/1.2A can charge as quickly with a Micro USB? I think.

So here is the question, can I charge my Smok Thallo with a 2.1A if I use the wire that came with the kit? It's hard finding a solid power bank with 5V/1A only. I cannot remove the battery, it has a built-in 3000mAH one.

Thanks!  

The wrap on the top of my brand new (3 week old) 18650 is peeling off, what can I do? As far as I know this aint safe.  

For those of you with a IPV4, Jwraps now has wraps for the device. Enclosed is a pic. They are 18.50 but when you choose IPV4 depending on the wrap it will subtract $3 to $6
