    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    Most accurate would be the measured voltage of the battery while under load, but that is next to impossible to do with most VV/VW mods. Next best is the resting voltage with a meter. Just know that the working loaded voltage is going to be slightly less than the resting voltage.

    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    The pulse width modulation is strategy to achieve the desired voltage, but doesnt have too much impact on the drain current unless you want to get into the more advanced details like peak current vs average current. The basic principles are quite simple; energy cannot be created or...

    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    For a VV or VW device, resistance has no effect on battery drain current. The current at the coil will be less with higher resistance, but the current from the battery is going to be the same for high resistance as it is for low resistance. The only variable is the efficiancy of the regulator...

    Is 4.27V on a Li-Mn IMR considered an overcharge?

    IMR's are fine down to 2.5V. With a good charger (Xtar, Pila, NiteCore) they can be safely brought back from 2.0V with no danger as long as it isn't habitual.

    Lower conductivity of certain materials can be overcome with increased size. Copper would be nice for current flow, but also more maintenance intensive as it will oxidize much faster than brass. So is the brass sufficient for our use? Than depends on what your specific use is. For my...

    Cgr18650ch in a natural???

    I'm not saying that a fuse is a bad thing, it is certainly a good thing if you want the additional layer of safety. But for many mech/rba users it will be a show stopper. The Shortstop is slightly more lenient... Both quotes are directly from the manufactures site. If you prefer low...

    Cgr18650ch in a natural???

    It's is a great battery rated for 10amp discharge. They have a spotless safety record and will stand up to a lot of abuse. As always, a battery is only a safe as the end user, so you need to know what your setup is going to be asking from the battery. I run my CGR's with a .5Ω IGO-L on a Sig...

    Storing batts for long term that aren't in use..

    Close enough to 40%. More like 40%-60%. Like I said, it isn't critical, just somewhere in the middle of the usable voltage scale will do fine. If you find yourself checking the voltage every few minutes as you vape to hit a specific voltage, you're putting way to much effort into it.

    Storing batts for long term that aren't in use..

    3.6-3.8V. It isnt critical. If the batteries are still in good health it will take many months for the voltage to drop below the safe threshold.

    SVD batteries????

    Orbtronic sells genuine Panasonic cells. They purchase them through a distributor that re-wraps them and puts their logo on the battery.

    I'll save the Canadian military humor and just say...that's not how we do it down here. I think I meet your criteria (although uniformed service has nothing to do with identifying a bad idea), and I second Wit's sentiment.

    SVD batteries????

    I looked up the blog post before my earlier post. My opinion remains the same. Trustfire is NOT a decent brand. A fancy wrapper is just lipstick on a pig. With the *Fire brands you really dont know what you are getting. Is it a 3000mAh or a 2500mAh? They can't be honest enough to put an...

    The button head does need to come off in order to put the washers on. If yours has been thread locked, you could cut a short section out of the washer to make it a "C". Then slide it over the button post and crimp it on with pliers.

    Couldn't disagree more. Voltage drop is a measure of efficiency. Why waste energy that could be better utilized as a more power to the coil or as longer battery life between charges. Bottom line is that if you have excessive voltage drop then there is something wrong. My 2 #8's were NOT well...

    SVD batteries????

    ^^^Really...REALLY...bad advice. I'm probably one of the last people that would be accused of being a Safety Nazi or fear-monger, and I couldn't care less about what people do on their own accord. But when someone is asking for advice, I tend to lean toward the side of safety because if they...

    Rsst and battery life

    "Battery life" on a mech mod is going to greatly depend on your taste. For example, your 1Ω coil on a fresh charge is going to give you about 15 watts. Lets say that your taste finds that 13 watts from your RSST is weak and not satisfying; the end of usable battery life. 13 watts is going to...

    Efest 18650 or AW IMR 18650?

    In the traditional sense of LiMN = LiMn2O4 = IMR.....the CGR/CH is not LiMn. Panasonic doesnt like to disclose the chemistry, but if I were a betting man my money would be on LiNiMnCoO2. That is of course based on the performance characteristics and the fact that LiNiMnCoO2 is a literal hybrid...
