Um... Chad had this to say about the 750mah version....

Quote:
Actually, the 750mA LiFePo4 are not rated for the current required to fire or atomizers, the link above is more suited for vaping needs. The LiFePo4 batteries are not protected as well.

The website says they are protected....(these are the batts I use and I got them from the same official Canadian SB supplier selling the SB)... but ya same size batt at 900mAh, interesting.

I don't doubt it. But god knows Chad knows alot more about batteries than I do. I accidently ended up buying the right ones. Wonder what the difference is. And I mean practical difference. Like do the 750mah versions misfire sometimes, or not burn the juice as hot... that kind of thing.

Love my silver bullet...and i just vape it at 3.7 v...plenty enough for me. Consistant hits and flavor with the cartomizers that i use.

Thanks for the review

I can't compare (haven't tried the 900 mAh), but the 750 mAh work beautifully...

Hello, I have a SB with 801 and 510 atomizers. But neither of them work good with cartriges (I keep them nice and wet) I get little vapor and a very nasty burt taste. My 801 works good only when dripping, but not with cartriges, and my 510 kind a works only when I drip. I dripp 3 to 5 dropps into the atomizer and I only get good 6 to 7 puffs and then a nasty burt taste I also cut the bottom of the 510 cartriges and I get little vapor and a nasty taste. I like the 801 better when dripping only. Do u know why my atomizers are not working with the cartriges and have u tried the cartomizers with the SB? Thank you for your help

I have one set on the 750 mAH and one set of the 900 mAH and find no noticeable difference between the two sets.

I can only say with experience from 510/dripping SB at 6v. I assume you are using the 6v option? You can't really use cartridges at 6v - it'll burn the filler, only use dripping with cut down blank carts. At 6v you need that atty wet - 4-5 drops, soon as soon as the vape gets dry or slightly burnt you need to drip again (it's a fine line, drip too much and yer gonna flood - which can also cause poor performance, just clean the connections with some paper towel - don't blow the atty out, waste of juice, vape a bit to suck the juice in and clean the excess). It's subjective too... I can use up the juice in 5 huge drags, but you don't need to drag so long at 6v. 3-4 sec for great vapour and hit. I usually get 10 to 20 puffs before I re-drip, depending how much and how long I'm hitting it.

I did order some cartomizers and an adapter to try out... haven't arrived yet.

I'm still fairly noobish too, anyone wanna way in on this go for it...

That surprises me, mwahle. I would think at the very least the 900mah would last longer.

... You can't really use cartridges at 6v - it'll burn the filler, only use dripping with cut down blank carts.

I've actually used the BFD mod and it didn't burn @ 6v. It can't keep up with wicking if you're hitting it heavy tho'. I keep a few full for on the road and just try putting the damn thing down here & again!

Very, Very true.

I'm a noob too, but I've been told alot of good things about 6v vaping with cartos. I'm gonna order some soon and try them out. We'll see.

They may last a bit longer, but I usually put them in the charger before the charge is depleted.



Make sure you have the correct adaptor for the cartomizers. (I think it is a 510 battery to a KR808d-1/green cig/901).
