Battery Info for the Chuck

[Wafflestomper]

Anyone know about these 18650 3.7V 2600MAH batteries?
Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 2600mAh rechargeable battery Flat Top FULLY PROTECTED with PCB Lithium Ion

Seems kinda spendy, just wondering if anyone knew about the life of them... or if they'd even work.

And I'm assuming there still isnt a safe 6.0v option? Can't seem to find anything.
Nevermind, I guess this is they? http://www.batteryjunction.com/4parc390reli.html

flat top, or button top, either will work with the chucks. I only use the red protected ultrafire 3000mah batts, so i cannot attest to life or to quality.
I have had great success with these.
Based on price, I would hope they might be better quality and more of a true mah rating than the ultrafires, but not sure. Anyone notice if the tenergy's are better than the ultrafires?

I've only used the ultrafire/trustfire and the 3000mah are great!

Very nice! Thanks. Wife told me she already took the liberty of ordering some of the 2600 as she needed batteries for something else (not even gonna ask what), but I will definately earmark that.

Normally I'd horde batteries, but I'm not really sure what the shelf life for these things are.

What, if any, advantages are there in going with a higher MaH battery? Is there any appreciable difference between 2600 and 30000 MaH batts in the 18650?

I just want to make sure everything is in order when my Chuck gets here. I may even take the day off work when it arrives.

Just the amount of runtime you will get out of them. Both 2600 and 3000 will give at least 2 days of heavy vaping, but the 3000 should last just a little longer. Not really a big deal, but I believe there is a slight difference.

Well, you of course need a Chuck, batteries, and the atomizer and cartridges you want to use. What atty type you order on your Chuck, will determine what atty you use. I chose a 510 since I have 510 attys and adapters to use cartomizers and 901 attys, which I also have.

Well, good news... my battery order came in today, and she had ordered the 900mah rcr123a's... so I can still pick up a couple of these bad boys and not feel like I wasted money.

Thanks for the tip RIMP

Those are the ones I use. They work very well, in fact I used one for 3 1/2 days moderately vaping, before I had to re-charge it. I bought 4, but I only rotate 2 of them. The other 2 are backups in case one fails.

Could someone please help me and tell me exactly what batteries I should buy for a big chuck? I've read this thread, but I am a dufus when it comes to batteries.

For big Chuck:
If you want 3.7 volt, order a 18650 battery.
If you want 6 volt, order a set of RCR123 3 volt batteries.

Plain enough?

Absolutely plain enough. Thank you.

But ah, which option is better, 3.7 or 6 volt? Thank you so much for your time and making it simple for me.

I think you will find some of this to be personal preference. I have some juices that vape and taste great at 3.7 volts but not at 5v -and visa versa. I cannot speak from experience from the CHUCK as I am awaiting the birth of my first. I do however have seperate PVs in 3.7 and 5volt and this has been my experience. Hope this helps some. Part of the fun is experimenting.
