18650 battery question

[carldamnit]

I purchased some CGR18650CH (high rate) batteries for my new innokin SVD. From the pbusardo website, they seem to be just what I wanted.

Today, for giggles i took apart a new (and not going to be used) Li-Ion battery pack and got all excited. Inside where 3 CGR18650CG batteries. From what little I have found they can still be drained at 2.5 amps.

Does anyone have any info on if these could cause any problems?

Thanks

I've heard of some people using these, personally I wouldn't risk it though.

I second gjshaw29's opinion. Best to only use high-drain batteries in higher voltage/wattage devices. In fact, my Tesla will not even work unless there is a high-drain battery in it. Turns on, gives readings, but will not fire the coil. I'm sure this is a safety feature, and for very good reason.

The regular ones might be fine, however, for a normal 3.7V non-varying tube mod. Add in variable voltage and/or wattage, and high-drain is really mandatory.
