Mech batteries with Magneto and Evic.

[Sthur]

I have an evic with the pink Panasonic battery. Is this battery safe for a magneto? How low ohm can I go with magneto? Was only going to run micro coils on octopus or 3-4 wraps on rsst.

Also will a geb (FiRePo4) work in evic ok? Says online it's safe chemistry.

Thanks.

Need some links. I can't find these batteries.

I think the pink panny battery might be this one: Google Image Result for http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v1/1051435321/LG_18650_3000mAH_Li_ion_rechargeable_battery.jpg

My eVic, however, came with a pink SAMSUNG battery: http://www.myvaporstore.com/Samsung_ICR18650_2600mAh_Battery_Flat_Top_eVic_p/joye-ss18650.htm

Sorry pink samsung battery above. Samsung ICR18650 2600mAh Battery - Flat Top - eVic

and blue geb Li-ion Battery
2000 mah 3.7v

Either for evic and magneto Bad?

I wouldn't use the samsung in the mech, as it is a protected battery, and I believe does not put out enough amperage. Other, more experienced battery gods will chime in, I'm sure.

I'm not at all familiar with the GEB batteries, and could find no specifications in the C rating or the continuous discharge rate. I would not use those batteries in a mod until those stats can be confirmed.

The Samsung battery should also not be used.

My research says the Samsung ICR18650 2600mAh battery is a protected ICR battery. This means its chemistry is not "safe-chemistry" nor is it "high-drain". Regulated mods typically perform best with high drain batteries, as their buck boost processors need the high drain ability to do higher voltage production. ICR batteries typically have insufficient amperage to safely fire regulated mods at high voltages, RBAs or Kick modules, usually less than 5 amps. The Kick comes with instructions recommending its use with only IMR high drain batteries in mechanical mods.

Below is a list of recommended IMR or Hybrid batteries which I have collected for both mechanical and regulated mods. Pay attention to the identifying numbers and letters when choosing a battery.

Special IMR/IMR batteries are required for safe sub-ohm vaping: batteries with a continuous discharge rate (CDR) of 20 amps or more are required. These batteries insure only using 80% of their capacity and allow some safe headroom for added safety with sub-ohms.

When using sub-ohms, you need to know the amps in continuous discharge rating for your battery, measure the ohm rating of your coil, and then use the ohm's law calculator below to find the amp draw the coil will pull from the battery. Never exceed the amp draw of your battery.

If you can not understand the above information, you have no business doing sub-ohms.

The short answer is: No

Do not use that pink battery in a mech.

I should learn to be as direct and to the point as this.

Thanks bad, you info is always greatly appreciated.

Some of my favorite batteries are the grey Panasonic CGR18650CH cause they're good for moderate builds and are some of the best for mechs. They have a drain of 10A and are 2250 mAh.

What I use now, however, are Sony US18650VTC3 because they have an insane drain of 30A. Meaning you can literally do .1 ohm builds on a mech without them blowing up. They're also pretty cheap at like $11.76 at fasttech for 2 of them.
