5 volt mechanical vaping

[rogergendron1]

Hey guys i found a source for a 18650 battery that is 5 volts ! Its posted in the clearance at rtd vapor. Its a 600mah 5v 18650
I was wondering if anyone used this battery or vapes there mech mod at 5 volts or higher with a genny or driper. I want to pick up two of thease and give it a go but wanted to know about how well a mech vapes at high volts. I know 2 cr 123s will give 6 and 2 18350s will give around 7 but that seems a little high for me and I wouldnt feel confident with stacked batts in a mech vaping a red hot coil. This single 5 v seems like a nice step up for vaping.

Want 2 of thease
Specials & Closeout : 4.8V NiMH 600mah Battery


Anyone use this or one like it .
Is it safe ... I have the charger already for other batterys I own
And at 4.5_5 volts what kind of coil would you recomend on a genny ? 3 ohm 28g kanthal over ss rope ?

Very curious

Also any other better options for high voltage vaping for a tube style telescoping mech .

So with a mech we have the option to go 3 volts one cr123 with mag spacer 3.7_4 volts normal batterys 4.8_5volts special battery 6 volts cr123s 7pluss volts stacked 18350s

Whats the best option for higher voltage ? Should I try that battery and baby step up a little ? It seems like its the logical thing to do.

The only gripe I have is that I have to dig out my old big batery charger and the battery is only 600mah hence the need for two or three of them .

I wonder how long it would hold that 4.8_5 volt vape range befor drop off

I'd rather drop coil resistance than run a 600mah battery.

I tried those NiMH batteries in a Silver Bullet for a very short time before I bought my first variable voltage APV. They last a very short time between charges. That 600 mAh rating is way over exagerated. After a couple of weeks of sporadic use the batteries only lasted about an hour at most. Consider how many batteries you would need knowing that. I found them to be extemely disappointing.

And you do realize that those NiMH batteries require their own special charger. For the money you end up spending on batteries and a special charger, just a few bucks more and you could have had a decent variable voltage/wattage APV in a Vamo. Shoot, even a Twist or Spinner would be a better value.

Take my advice and spend your money elsewhere.

I may be wrong here but those looked like stacked batteries in a pretty sleeve. So if you are worried about stacking batteries. Wouldnt this be the same thing?

sent from my Provari with a mini rda!

Yeeh i suspected they wouldnt last long. .. but an hour or two from your expwriamnce wow they must be crap.

Thanks for the input

I want to try high voltage vaping on my mech with rba's so my option now is stacking batterys . I kniw its not recomended but can be done safely as in always use the same 2 batterys together and always charge them together and mark them a and b and rotate them from top to bottom every battery change .

What should i start with ? 2 cr 123 for 6 volts ?
And are the 16340 the same as cr123 just 3.7 instead of 3 volts .

What do you guys recomend for high volt stacked batterys in a mech .
Aside from a good fuse or saftey

Why not do like others have suggested in this thread and use less resistance for your atomizer rather than fiddle with stacked batteries?

That is a stack of four 1/3A size NiMH batteries.
I'm intrigued by the 2/3A size, listed as 1600mAh, 10C.
Discussed them in a thread here:

high voltage vaping died off when we started getting more options besides a couple of 3ohm cartos. not worth the trouble and you get more risk for no real gains. but if you really want to go high voltage start wrapping coils in the 3-5 ohm range.

this is back in a time when vendors would say "LOOK new low resistance cartos! all the way down to 1.7 ohms!

I suspect high voltage vaping "died off" when it became apparent there is more profit to be made on Li-Ion batteries compared to NiMH batteries. The only significant risk with high voltage vaping with NiMH batteries is the shorter life expectancy of lower resistance coils. There are many significant gains. The most important being safety and peace of mind. Half the world's population, through no fault of their own, has an IQ at 100 and below. If they don't learn and scrupulously follow the rules regarding safe vaping, they risk serious injury with Li-Ion batteries. Higher voltage requires less amperage to produce the same wattage. The less amperage we demand from our batteries, the better.
