Is a panasonic 3400mah ncr18650b battery good for vaping?

That battery is a Li-ion and not recommended for vaping, it is best to use an IMR or Hybrid battery. In addition the CDR on that battery is only 6.8 amps.

No it isn't, the amp draw is too low... It's a flashlight battery.

As those above me have said, this battery was designed for low drain applications like a flashlight. It's amp limit (6.8 continuous discharge rate) is too low for today's high drain mod applications.
