The only batteries that are appropriate for vaping with are "safe-chemistry", "high-drain" IMR or IMR/hybrid batteries. ICR batteries may have higher MaH but their CDR is too low to make them appropriate for vaping.

    The differences between all the types and chemistries of the batteries we use makes any distinction between IMR high drain batteries and the others hard to make. As long as you stay with IMR and INR chemistry cells then it's best to select the battery you need based on individual capacity, performance, current rating, etc.
