    Another 18650 recommendation thread!

    If you read my posts, specifically these parts, you'll find that these questions haven't been asked before: "if I'm only vaping up to 30w, then (would) the Sony VTC6 last longer than the LGs or Samsungs?" "After 50 discharge cycles at 15A, the capacity of the VTC6 is reduced the most, and the...

    Nice! Currently using the Xtar VP2 charger. Can't remember why I chose that over the VC2...might be because of the choice to charge at 0.25a, 0.5a and 1a in case I needed a quick charge.

    Ok thanks everyone. It was only if there was a simple way to see if the capacity was much lower now. Doesn't look like it so I'll just buy a couple more - they're not expensive :)

    Thanks all My Samsung 30Q batteries are about 15 months old, and the LG HG2s are a bit over two years old. I'm sure that they're not lasting nearly as long as they did, but is there any way to quantify this? I've checked with a multimeter, and when fully charged, the voltage is showing around...

    Thanks Ken, is that: (28/3.2)/0.9 = 9.7amps? So it's the low voltage cut off that should be used to calculate the discharge current, and not the voltage displayed on my mod? (which right now has actually dropped to 3.74v)

    Ok great - watched that video now. VTC6 comes out on top due to lower internal resistance, and ultimately higher capacity. However... Bench Test Results: Which lasts longer? VTC6, 30Q, or HG2? After 50 discharge cycles at 15A, the capacity of the VTC6 is reduced the most, and the 30Q takes...

    Thanks bwh I know it's between those three, and they're all 3000mah - I was just hoping that there's one of the three that sits above the rest in terms of longest lasting, if vaping at a fairly low wattage.

    Hi all Will keep it brief as I know similar questions have been asked loads of times. I'm looking for the longest lasting 18650 battery - ie. time between charges. I use a Kanger subox mini (single 18650 mod) and only ever vape up to 30w. Always use 0.5ohm coils. No idea how some people vape...

    Thanks Beam, will look into those

    Small mouth to lung tank with drop in coils

    Hi everyone, thanks very much for the detailed replies. Had a look into the items you suggested: -Triton mini - can't track one down! -Zenith - just too chunky unfortunately -Innokin T20s - she might be ok with this but obviously it means her changing her batteries and the whole setup is a bit...

    Small mouth to lung tank with drop in coils

    Just spoken to her. She's fine with a wider tank :) Just doesn't want a box mod, which means I'll need to get her one of those metal skirts so that the tank lines up nicely with the battery. So we can forget the ego fit, just needs to be 510. Any other recs? Cheers

    Small mouth to lung tank with drop in coils

    Thanks guys, too chunky unfortunately! Looking for something similar size as the protank mini, which is 14-15mm diameter. Btw in my first post I meant to say Aspire nautilus mini, will edit it now.

    Small mouth to lung tank with drop in coils

    Hi all Need to recommend a new tank for my mum. She's been using a Kanger Mini Protank 3 for a while but is always having problems with the coils getting flooded. Looking for: -Mouth to lung tank -Smallish tank diameter -510/Ego fit -Top fill -Drop in coils Only tank I can see is the Aspire...

    I just want the best...

    Finally...managed to get one stable at 1.6ohms. I think the coils were touching the sides of the head before.

    Sorry, not 0, 0.4

    Tried 5 times now. 6, 7 and 8 wraps. No coils touching that I can see. Getting 0 resistance on my Itaste. Any ideas??

    hmmm I just measured the wire and it's 30 gauage, 0.25mm

    I just want the best...

    arghh...just tried again...7 wraps. 0.6ohms apparently.

    That was on a standard Evod coil. I just tried to make my first coil and it was a complete failure! 6 wraps, 0.2 kanthal (32 gauge ), 2mm ekowool. 1.2 ohms on the multimeter. 0.6ohms on the itaste. Played with the coil, moving them about. Now it's around 0 apparently. lol
