Your 18350 Batteries...

[RawRam_cpt]

Just a little bit of crowd sourced research.

What 18350 batteries are you using?

How long do they last you?

Any failures or weird battery deaths?


If you use these, please share your experiences...

Not a size much used, I think. If I remember correctly they are 700 mAh. So if you are a heavy vaper and go sub ohm about 2 hours would be my wild guess.

 

[RawRam_cpt]

Indeed. But what about running bog standard 2.2 ohms on a regulated mod at about 8 watts? Are you using them? Where were they purchased?

No RR, not using them so I'm guessing. Heavy vaping on a regulated mod at about 8 watts, maybe 2 1/2 hours. I really don't know.

Thank you, CVS, you have come to my rescue on this one. Wow, 8 hours is a long time for a 700 mAh.

Thanks peeps!

Anyone else using these???

CVS, I NEED to get a few AW 18350s from you... But need to wait till my charger gets here from Slowtech. Apparently it's coming from Singapore via the planet Neptune.

What charger did you get, RR? I got the Nitecore Intellicharger and am very happy with it.

For my Reo the AW IMR 18650s and for my Vamo and K100 Panasonic NCR 18650PDs.

Sweet. Can I ask where they were bought? The AWs in particular.

The first ones I imported through a sort a back channel (they only send you like in 4 at a time). It takes ages. Lately I have been buying from Cape Vaping Supplies, which is not only local, but a reseller on this forum and delivers great service. Just PM CVS. Pricewise it is about the same, but much faster from CVS.
Edit: They are in Cape Town, which I presume with your handle you are as well. So that could be even better.

Hi Matthee and Rawram,

Which nitecore charger did you get? The one that does 4 batteries or just 2 batteries?
I did some browsing on nitecoresa.co.za and the 2 way is about R250 while the 4 way is R395 i think.
Nice that they can be used for lots of other rechargeable batts.
Think i will get that one when the time arises. I will probably go for the 4 way in case i want to charge other batts as well.

On another note, what do you think of the nitecore 18650 batts, for vaping? I know not for the high drain low ohm applicaton but what about for other vaping uses. Anyone used these batts? I see the nitecore 3100 mah are R205, versus say the Panasonic 3400 mah which are R200 at eCiggies

Just don't tell them you want to use it for vaping - tell them it is for your flashlight

We contacted them last year to see if we could buy bulk from them, and after they heard it was for electronic ciggs they stopped responding to our mails

EDIT: Erm, not last year, earlier this year - I'm already in 2014!

those nitecore batts, they are protected, but i can't seem to find there anywhere what the max amps is you can suck through the bat without the protection circuit kicking in. that might be a stumbling block there?

I've tried it on my SVD, and it did not work. I've now put it in my flashlight, and it works like a charm!
