18650 3600 mah batteries

[crk0756]

Hey gang,

Dont know if this is the right place to post this, but I just bought 8 Ultrafire 18650 protected 3600 mah batteries for $3.95 apiece off the madvapes site.. when I left they had 174 left, and stated that it was a limited time only deal... better grab them while you can.....

mods, please move to the correct area if I posted this in the wrong spot...

I got some in my shopping cart right now.

Please post back when you have used them, I would love to know how much longer they last compared to the lower mahs

Just ordered 4, the largest I have had were the 2600Mah, so these should be quite a bit of difference.. will let everyone know.

Thank you for posting this!

I am interested as well. 3600 mAh seems too good to be true, especially at that price.

Well, it is too good to be true because 3600 mah is most definitely overstated. Even if they are internally resisted, 3600 mah in an 18650 is just outside the scope of possibility. But, even though the manufacturers of these sorts of batteries routinely overstate mah ratings, it's still a great price even if they overstated it by by a thousand mah or more - and even if the cell quality isn't top-notch. A general purpose 18650 for less than 4 bucks is a good deal.

for that price i might take a risk and order an extra 18650, just for the heck of it, i left my mod in my car (hot florida sun), and the battery is absolutely dead (guess it overheated and vented or something), so my stock is down one...

Thank you for the heads up on this fantastic deal!

 

[crk0756]

My order should be here in the mail tomorrow, and once I get some charged up I will try them in both an evercool mod and a dual mod and post the run times.... Always happy to post a good deal for all to benefit from.....

This is such a good deal it has me thinking about an 18650 mod, which I really do not need. I do have a question that maybe some of our techies can answer.

With all of the VV and DC vaping we are doing these days, this forum is full of posts that insist that high-drain or high discharge rate batteries are required to safely handle the load.

I tried to find some technical details on this particular battery but so far no luck.

Are these batteries up to a high workload? Or are they more suited to generic 3.7V vaping?

Thanks, JJ

I just ordered four of them while there still in stock. They're going fast! I'm getting ready to make a VV Box Mod that runs on the 18650's. If these can't handle the load, I'll just make a regular 3.7 volt mod instead. It will vape for days at a time!

 

[crk0756]

On 3000mah 18650's I get about 2 1/2 days on a set of batteries in a dual mod..... Order came in today, and 1 out of 8 is a dead cell... Sent off an email, and started to charge the rest..... Then my rapid charger smoked so down to the old trustfire tr-001, which has been a workhorse so far... Will post results when I get them charged and vaping!!

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

I got 4, and one is dead. I also sent them a message, haven't heard back yet. The other three are working as well as my 3000mAh's do.

Thanks for the updates!

For the sake of all of us who are trying to learn, here is an excellent thread on 18650 batteries. It is not too long and extremely informative...

Ok started vaping on the dual at 10 pm, at 11:43 still showing 3.97 volts and have gone through about 2 1/2 to 3 mil of juice... (Chain vaper) lol .... and this is the first charge so they should pick up next charge if they follow through like my other batts.....

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

OK, out of 4 I actually got two wonky batts, but I did get a notice from MV that they're sending one out to replace the one I messaged them about. For the price, I don't mind taking the loss on the other wonky batt. The two that work, work very well and last me all day like my 3000mAh's do...get me through 6ml a day.

 

[crk0756]

As of right now, batts are down to 3.76 volts on the dual, and I have been hitting it pretty hard. Got a message back that asked if I wanted 1 batt or points, took the points to save them on shipping just one... Order from them quite often, and this was my first dead batt out of a large pile.

I ordered two of these and have had them for 3 days. I have not tested actual voltage, but they noticably drop off in power rather quickly, much faster than my gray 2600mah ultrafires. The hit feels very diminished after about 2 hours of use. They do keep working all day, but with the decreased hit feeling until they are recharged. I'm not very happy with them - interested in hearing other's experiences. FWIW - I am using these with dual-coil mega cartos.
