18650 batteries

[dherrington]

Does anyone know where I can get some long-lasting 18650 batteries? I bought some on Amazon and I am lucky to get 4 hours use out of them. The ones madvapes are selling are the same brand, so I would like to stay clear of them.

I am not a really heavy vaper. I just want one that will last throughout the day when I take my smoke breaks at work.

Thanks.
Doug

Try getting AW IMR batteries. They are readily available with many vendors.

I'm a heavy vaper and I get 4+ hours from AW IMR 18350s, I have no Idea how much run time I get from their 18650s, I can vape on one all day at work, come home and my batt still shows 3.8 volts, I would suspect it's your batterys. I vape an RBA which are notorious for draining batterys. I have never had a problem with life. I don't even bother to carry a back up batt with me anymore. If you have a multimeter, check you batts voltage when they come off the charger, I have a Efest Luc and it's a "liar, liar, pants on fire". Half the time it says my batts are fully charged (4.2 Volts) and they are only at 3.8 or so and I have to put them back on the charger. Good batterys are cheap insurance. You can spend ....-loads of money on Mods and vape delivery devices and they will suck for want of a good battery. The Orbs that Thrasher linked are very intriguing, just ordered two (thanks Thrasher....my CC now hates you too), RTD batteries has really good Batt prices, quick shipping and takes PayPal. They also carry a lot of vape stuff at good prices so keap a tight grip on your wallet.

aw from rtd pannys from orbtronics. both guarantee A grade SKU's

sometimes a good charger can make all the difference as well.

I agree the difference between charging batteries using the USB port on my eVic as opposed to the charger is more than twice as much from the charger

Well, charger helps....

However, use time is a function of A) How they are made B) How old they are C) THE DRAIN.

Since you didn't tell us, I assume you're using some SLR setup with penta-coils and draining the hell out of them. So just follow the advice above and get the best IMRs (or similar safer battery) you can find.

If, by chance, you are not pulling many amps, you may be able to use protected batteries in a mod with some protection in it (not built like a pipe bomb). Actual Li-Ion batteries hold more, at the expense of possibly going violently thermal. I use stacked Li-Ion protected batteries in my can't explode vv box mod. And get well over a day out of them (more like 2 days). So YMMV.
