Yellow AWs, those are new (well new to me at least)? What are the specs? Haven't used 18350s in a long while, and I'm unlikely to start using them again, but I'm always interested in what's out there. 9-12w should be well within the capabilities of any quality 18350, and you should get a decent runtime. Enjoy the Dicodes!

I think he means these:

I use single 700 mah 18350s in my ZMaxes running 3.3 VOLTS. Watts require more chip activity thus using more battery power. Set to MEAN mode, again less chip intensive than RMS mode. ProTanks using 2.4 ohm nr-r-nr coils, nearly all power used goes into creating vapor, not wasted by traveling thru resistant wire before it even reaches the coiled portion of wire.
My office is behind the wheel of a semi. I vape all day and almost constantly. Have to with my gear of preference. I get 10-12 hours from my 700 mah batteries and my 650 mah VV Evods and eGos on their lowest setting. vaping 2 1/2 - 3 mls daily.

running 1.8 ohms and 9-10 watts, I got 4-5 hours. Because I was never sure of the battery in the mod first thing in the morning, I carried two others in a plastic case.

If I had errands after work I started wondering how long I had before I had to get home. That was early on when getting nic was a needed thing. I ended up giving it away to a light vaper. I moved up to 18650s only and that person did, too.

I just helped a guy get a Provari Mini and I got him the extensions to use an 18650. I didn't even bother with a 1200mah 18490.

I guess, given the choice... Hope all works out.

I used to use AW 18350 IMR batteries in a Mini Provari and a couple of other variable voltage regulated mods. However, since I began sub-ohming I rarely pick up a Mini Provari or my P3 in 18350 mode. Back in the day I'd carry up to three batteries to last me throughout the day.

With the power demands of today's atomizers, I believe its an end to an era with 18350 batteries and 18350 mods.

Do u mean ure able to get a day out of an 18350? If so what wattage are u at with the 1.3
I'm sorry! I read it as 18650! I need glasses!

But now that I read it correctly! LOL! I use a Provari Mini (18350) with a Kayfun at 1.2 ohms. Set at 4.2 volts (my other mods usually reads that at about 14 watts) a battery and a half lasts me all day. I always carry that and my Reo with me and I swap back and forth through the day. If it was my sole device I would probably say 2 - 2 1/2 batteries a day. I go though about 4 mls in my Kayfun a day. That's about a tankful right?

Sorry about that.

Dang, Baditude now prefers sub ohm vaping , it's time for me to put on my "please kill me now " T shirt and go for a stroll in a neighborhood that leads the nation in murder and violent assaults .

Can't take it anymore,

farewell everybody

I primarily use AW IMR 18350s in mechanical mods and Provari Minis. I build my RBAs with single 1.2ohm Kanthal coils and I go through about three 18350s a day. The power demands of my atomizers and my preferred style of vaping are compatible with 18350 batteries. 18350 batteries aren't going away any time soon and I have enough mods that take 18350s to last me several lifetimes.

When I go out, I carry 2 ProVari minis topped with Kayfuns @1.7ohms ... I vape them at 7.5watts.

I do not drain either battery or empty the 3ml tanks during a day.

If I am going to be out unusually long ... I bring 2 spare batteries in a battery case, and a spare 10ml bottle of juice to top them up.

18350 batteries are perfect for my vape style.

I would be interested in hearing why he decided to switch up , the guy is a wizard with e cig stuff and i have no doubt he has sub ohm ed before .

Probably just kind of got burnt out with the same thing for so long , most people probably feel like switching it up now and then to keep it interesting .

Bet he will be back to his Provari's and Kayfun at some point .
