Orbtronics 18650 2900mAh High Drain Version part 1

[TheSystemHasFailed]

However Bish assured me that the battery will turn itself off in case of a short. If you are still worried just don't leave it in your mod for a long time.

I knew something was happening! We are talking about these pd2900's, right? I was trying to pulse a short out on a mech, and it wouldn't fire! I was like, unprotected, but not firing and NO heat. Hmmm. I should at least see the short manifest for a second, right? NOPE! Wont-even-fire!

EDIT: Big laughs were had at the castle later that night...turns out the screw in my mech needed to be backed out just a hair to connect on the AGI, as the IGO-L and AGA-T have slightly longer contacts. Was sad for a second.

I just ordered 2 Orbtronic 18650 PD2900's (just got a confirmation from fluidvapor that they were back in stock) - I find myself going below .7 ohm, or at the very least on the edge, so I figured these would help!

 

[Bishopheals]

I use these batteries on a daily basis since I'm below .7 ohms. When I use my mesh genies I'm at .25-.4ohms On silica rba I'm at .4-.6ohms.

Bishopheals...
Can you please measure the complete lengh of these batteries in mm (from base to the top of the button)?

AW IMR 2000 mah red?
ORBTRONIC 18650 PD2900?

Thanks

They are the exact size?... I was expecting the AW to be around 65mm and the Orb to be ~67mm.

Thanks

Fast shipping from fluid vapor, they sent out today (day of the order) - nice!

 

[imeothanasis]

aw=65 and orb=67 vision. When I said that I received 2 batteries form Bish I meant 2 orb ones

Thanks

Thanks Bishopheals for your tests and let us know these batteries.

I am charging them in the charger that came with Provari. I am not sure what that is.

Well after hearing all that good words about these batteries i couldn't resist getting some as my almost year old AWs are quite old now and not performing good enough on my 0,7 Ohms Dual Coil Iatty everyday setup.

But I really couldn't see the reason to get the Orbtronics. Let me explain:
These are the orbtronic protected cells
and these are the UnProtected NCR18650PD 's

The protected ones don't have the PD cells in right? They have the B's...Well Panasonic makes a protected one too. Why should i get the Orbtronic?

As far as the NCR18650PD which are the ones you reviewed they are still unprotected. I really don't understand what they've done more than take a Panasonic NCR18650PD and wrap it in a new label? I really want an answer in this.

I still went ahead and got the genuine Panasonic NCR18650PDs from FastTech .

The genuine Panasonic PDs are half the price (same price give or take for 2 batteries) and with WORLDWIDE free shipping in compare to the Orbtronic that wants 45+ USD for shipping in Europe.

Madgr thank you finally. I have been saying the same thing all the time but I'm weak at expressing things the right way I had to get the orbtronic because I needed button tops for provari. Otherwise definitely I would have gotten the original flat top ones. Don't like unprotection in my mechs.

This is a long thread to read.

Are the unprotected ones a go or no go in a Provari?

 

[madgr]

aalwani the genuine B's work just fine in the Provari. My friend has used that configuration for a long time.

They are definitely a GO.

 

[JJOOHHNN]

Hmmm, I have 7 18650's currently.

I do hate to have to get up and change batteries also. I think that runtimes increases do not go up in a linear fashion but is more dependent on how that sag. That is what I think at least.

I wonder how much more usable energy there is in one of these when used in a Provari. If they will add at least an additional 2 hours of vape time on my Provari I want to get some.

 

[madgr]

John they propably gonna last less. Depending on what voltage you do consider a battery empty on a mechanical mod.

Thanks for that bit of information.
