Man, I feel old. We were so excited when we got to upgrade to 2400 baud.
As far as I know, MadVapes is the only place that has them. I spent hours looking and did find one Chinese vendor that sold them in huge quantities only but WOT had it rated untrustworthy so I didn't stay.
MadVapes seems to be out of them right now. Since you have a few weeks to wait for your Chuck, you might contact them to see when they'll be back in stock. Alternatively, you can use these in a little Chuck.I can't find protected 18350 batteries anywhere. I spent over a hour searching. Please help! I am getting ready to order my first mod, a little chuck but alas no batteries to be found
I'm going to add this to the this thread so it can be found again.
AW IMR16340 LiMN battery
AW RCR123a Protected Li-ion battery
The difference between LiMN and Li-ion
Now my new question is "how do you know when you should remove your battery so as to not over discharge it?"

Now my new question is "how do you know when you should remove your battery so as to not over discharge it?"
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but the PCB 18650 batteries that I use come with this advisory:
Internal PCB protection prevents under-voltage at 2.5V and over-voltage at 4.25V.
Correct Lilibet, the protection circuit should kick in and shut the battery down to prevent over discharge.
The discharge curve of the LiMn's is such that the volts drops off quickly once its almost dead. So, your Chuck isn't doing much at all... very suddenly. Same with 2 LiFePo4 3V batts in the big Chuck. So, when vapor drops off quickly, change the batts.
The protected batteries act the same way, except if you push them long enough the PCB turns them off.
ok which ones should I order
DealExtreme: $5.08 Ultrafire 3.6V 880mAh LC 16340 Protected CR123A Battery 2-Pack

You might consider these from MadVapes too. The shipping is bound to be much less.
ETA: Never mind, I just noticed the shipping is free from DealExtreme.

Why is it that my big battery for the Big Chuck at 3.7 feels way more powerful than my little Chuck?
Is it that it holds a higher V charge a little longer than the CR123's or is it just placebo?

It is all in your imagination.
No, from what I can tell it is because it is higher mah which holds its a charge longer. My CR123a are strong at first but discharge much quicker than my 18650 so it seems like the larger battery is stronger where as I think it is just more consistent and longer lasting.
I hardly ever use my CR123s except on certain juices because it tends to dry my throat out and almost burn my mouth at 6 volts for some reason, even with VG juice. The 3.7v with big batteries seems to do great for me and I enjoy the longer battery life.
*shrug*

Thats what I figured.. The big battery just almost feels like 5v with my 510.. which is a good thing as I need to try and get away from 6v sometimes.
I'm just agraid that I will forsake my little Chucks as a result.
Yep, the voltage dropoff is slower with a bigger, higher mAh battery, thus you're running at the higher voltage longer.
If you're gonna treat you little Chucks like ....... childs (oh the memories those words bring back from my childhood!) I know of a good home for them!

Waffle just treat it like a red-headed step chuck and abuse it during those difficult times...like when the strippers gone wild or when a trip to the mailbox is necessary. Save the big chuck from dangerous situations or when the extra strain might hurt something...I keep mine beside the bed...you know for when the extra weight might cause me to tip over improperly

I know, they already sent me pictures in trade. Thanks for the tip
If it were me...for a little chuck I'd order either these:
AW RCR123a Protected 750 mAh Battery
or these:
AW IMR16340 550 mAh IMR CR123 size LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery
while the *fire batteries are fine they are generic and the labels can vary.. I just like the AWs better and I've never heard a bad review on them...I've never heard anyone have anything but good things to say about them..
the second ones listed are safe chemistry LiMN much like LiFePo are safe chenistry and are high discharge batteries..
I'd like to purchase the following batteries from Madvapes:
1) Protected CR2/15270 Li-Ion Battery, 3 Volts, 600 mAH
2) CR2/15270 Li-Ion Battery, 3 Volts, 800 mAH
3) Protected 18650 Battery, 3000 mah
Does anyone know if the AD-108 charger will charge all 3 of these battery types? The site mentions a penny workaorund for their other chargers but doesn't mention the ad-108 charger.

AS OF TODAY....ALL-BATTERY.COM is still running the "coupon15" code for %15 off order then for orders over $25 use "tenergydeals" code at shipping confirmation page near the end of the process to get FREE SHIPPING. I have had no problems with this company or the codes and have used them quite a few times now. Just some info for folks who want to save some coin. This is not an endorsement for this company, just info for a good deal.
