350 or 650?

[Altaire Versailles]

Do people usually vape with an 18350? Is that standard? The couple times Ive seen people vape with mods theyve always been in 350 mode...When I use a mod in public I usually use it in 18650 mode but people keep saying stuff about how big it is, but it just feels comfortable like that, I can get my whole hand on it. Holding a mod with an 18350 in is annoying.

What do you guys think? What do you carry? Does it change depending on where you go? Just curious

I use 18650's

Now that you mentioned it I just opened up the 2 pack of 18350's that came with my vamo 9 months ago; testing at 3.8 volts; I guess I ought to make use of them.

I use 18490's in my SVD, I don't even own any 18350's or 18650's


Of course I've had four 18350's and two 18650's (AW IMR's) in my cart over at RTDvapor for quite awhile, I just keep forgetting to order them when I have the spare cash. I think I will have to do that this week, as I'd like to use 18650's at home, 18490's while out running errands, and 18350's when I need a more stealthy device (like in the movie theater).

I use 490s' when I'm at home, cause I don't care if they die. I like having lot's of spare power though, so when I go out it's the 650's.

 

[HauntedMyst]

18500 and 18650's for me. 18350 is too small.

 

[imsoenthused]

At the rate I can kill 18650s using 18350s wouldn't even be a funny joke. Heck, I'm getting about ready to start using 26650s just to carry fewer batteries around when I leave the house.

I use an 18350s in my ProVari Mini, as I like the smaller configuration. If on a long road trip, I will use the Twins and toss in an 18650.

Box mods get the 18650.

For mechs, I prefer the 18490, unless my atty set-up requires a VTC 18650 for the amp rating.

Last few months I've been carrying a stingray in 18350 mode topped with a K-fun, like the size as it fits entirely in my shirt pocket. I also carry spare batteries which I swap out after about 4 hrs. Also carry a back up, Sentinal M16 topped with a K-fun in 18350 mode.
At home I Run Sigelie Z-max, Chi you, Nemisis in 18650 mode, I feel they're just too big to be carrying around.

When I'm out and about, I mostly use 14500s or 18350s.

18500 and 18650's for me. 18350 is too small.

lol i totally feel you on your sig lol

I tend to use my K100 or Caravela in 350 mode with a kayfun 3.1, and carry 2 extra batteries in a silicone keychain holder I got from sun-vapers. Makes for discrete vaping, and still have plenty of power for all day vaping.

 

[Griff.J]

I use AW IMR 18650s and 18490s. Not enough mAh's in an 18350 for me.


Nemesis in Hybrid 18650 Mode /w a Kicked 18490. vs VaporShark DNA. I'd hardly call these huge.

 

[optsmk]

I only use 18490 batteries or bigger. 18350's are just a waste of time because they discharge too fast. Small is nicer, but not when I have to carry 3-4 extra batteries to make it through the day.

I prefer my outdoors setups to be less than 10cm + drip tip. So, 18350s for me. At home I use all three 18000 sizes. For some reason I prefer a side button on 18650 setups and bottom button on anything smaller.

 

[nukleusx]

650 all day long, home or at work. Have a few 350s and no 490/500s. Don't like how the 350s go so fast for me, even sitting at my desk, so they just sit there staring at the 650s wishing they were a little bit taller.

 

[Baditude]

It depends upon the mod that I'm using and the situation that I'll be using that mod.

Most of the time I use an 18350 in my Provari Mini for easy portability and being more pocket friendly when out and about. I just carry a couple of spares in a plastic battery case in the other pocket. I also have the extensions to use an 18490 or 18650 battery in the mini.

I use 18650's in my two mechanical Silver Bullets, used mostly at home with my rebuildables. I use an 18350 in my Gripper when I need to stealth vape.

 

[Dampmaskin]

I like 18350s for their size, and 18650s for their capacity. Therefore, most often I use 18490s.

 

[tj99959]

Every one of these is running on an 18490.

I regularly use 650's and 500's all the time for my regular vaping needs. I do have some 350's but don't like using them cause they seem to die at the least opportune times.
I build 1.2-1.4 ohm coils for my regular vape and I can heat up a 350 in a mech rather fast and that's scary to me, not hot enough to cause problems but hot enough to notice there could be a danger lurking. With the same build a 650/500 don't heat up.
Something else that could shy you away from 350's is that they have a charging lifespan of few hundred charges before starting to wear out and die, so a 800mah 350 batt would require 2 1/2 times the amount of chargings than a 2000mah 650 would thus wear out much faster.
I can't be bothered to have to stealth vape in which could require you to use 350's. I use my 350's now in a crappy epipe to dryburn and test my coil builds.
Each to their own and some like the 350's for their size, but I don't.

I rotate through and charge eight 18650's and carry my Provari or my Sigelei Zmax at home or when I'm out. 18350's last me an hour to an hour and a half, so I don't normally use them unless I need to be really stealthy. It's 95% 18650 ... 5% 18350 when I'm vaping at home or away.

A fresh 18650 and an extra in a plastic battery case can last me over 24 hours, vs 3 or 4 hours for two 18350's.
