Joyetech eGo C Twist 1000mAh - $19.79

...its exhalevapors

Exhalevapors is running a deal on Ego TWIST batteries.  These are Genuine Joyetech Ego Twists.  Does this matter?  I never had any issues with my Joye twists but have had many "ego style" twist batteries break on me.  Its my opinion that Joyetech has higher quality control standards.  You can get knockoff twists cheaper but if you want a Joyetech your going to spend $25-29.00 for the 1000mah - so this a good price.

I bought mine on a pre-order so mine is already in the mail :)

The Tesla is a Variable wattage/voltage 18650 APV designed by iVape to be the most functional, efficient, durable, and budget friendly mod on the market.
This mammoth of a device can operate in either Adjustable voltage (3.0-6.0V) or Adjustable wattage (3.0-15W) at the push of a button.

The Tesla features an OLED display with a fully English readout, no error codes you have to cycle through a manual for... no single button menu system that can be difficult to grasp.  The Tesla is designed for ease of use, and access to function.

We made the body of the Tesla with lots of metal, as to avoid breaking or denting, it's durable.  To avoid it being too heavy, we used a high class Aluminum alloy, specially cut for the Tesla.
The Tesla features full body venting, that is cut before being finished to avoid rough edges, and the bottom cap is completely ventilated as well.  There are several safety protections inside this unit.

The Tesla's internal Chip set has a rated output limit of 3.0-3.1A for regular applications, and employs a Pulse width modulation function, tuned to VRMS settings - for a smooth and stable hit.  The Tesla also features reverse battery installation protection, short circuit protection, and over discharge protection to make sure your batteries and device function properly.  The tesla is designed to function up to 6V and 15W depening at full battery charge, before calculation of internal resistance.Features:
PWM chip tuned to RMS settings.

Battery Choices: Power adjustment isn't the only customizable feature of the eGo APV. You may also choose from several battery configurations. The APV can use a single 18650, or two 18350 IMR batteries. If you want a smaller option, remove the center section and use a single 18350 battery for an ultra-compact advanced personal vaporizer.

DROP: Telescopic VV Transformer $44.10

...its Kidney Puncher

Here is a great deal on a transformer.  For this price its a steal.  Originally these were going for 80 bucks.

THE HARD COPY:

The L-Rider Transformer is one of the best variable voltage vaping options you will find for such a reasonable price! With the L-Rider Transformer, you can check the voltage of your battery (it requires one battery of your choice --NOT INCLUDED) and can go between 3.0 to 6.0 volts for that specific taste you are going for! Each L-Rider Transformer has a fine chrome plated brass finish, is nicely weighted, and feels very solid in your hands. With the new L-rider Transformer you also have an Ohm Resistance check. This proves very handy when testing those new devices that you add on the fly. Testing the resistance on the new Lambo Transformer is easy. Pressing the fire button repeatedly five times will show the resistance, in Ohms, of the attached atomizer or cartomizer. Not having an atomizer or cartomizer attached will show an F1 error on the screen. 
Product Specifications:

• 1 L-Rider Transformer (batteries purchased separately)
• Voltage is between 3.0 and 6.0 volts with a 2.5 amp limit
