Sorry. No, I was asking why type of battery I should use. I'll be building it myself as I FINALLY found the perfect item to use as an enclosure. But I have only room for one battery.
Most high drain 18650's should be up to the task....
AW IMR's are always a suggested choice.
The guys at Provape and Evolv, swear by them.
i wouldnt want to go smaller than an 18650, because battery life would suck @ 5V.... but that is just me.

You need to provide details on how/what you are using to get 5V from a 3.7V battery and how much liquid you vape in 12 hrs.
The problem with high drain batteries is that they dont hold the capacity that a Li-ion 18650 could.
your looking at up to 1000mAh +/- less for the highdrain 18650's.
you MAY get a full days worth of vaping @ 5V, but that depends greatly on how much you vape.
I would carry a second battery (if the battery is removable) or add a USB charge port, if your worried about all day vaping.
I dont do 5V vaping, so i cant give you a rough idea of what you would need, but maybe someone can chime in that does. *edit* WillyB is in!

I'll be using a 3ohm carto or a 1.5ohm DC tank. I vape about 3ml a day.
Carrying an extra battery isn't a problem. I just want to build a simple PV with a momentary push button switch for use with a 510 atty. No LED light.
I assume I won't need a regulator or anything else?
..... i dont know of a single cell battery that pushes out 5 Volts, without some type of booster.
i was under the assumption you already had a chip in mind...

Thanks. That's sort of what I'm trying to figure out.
So...what single cell should I use for vaping at 3.7 volts?
This would get you close (4.8 volts) w/o having to use a booster circuit...

with your 1.5ohm DC, any would do really....
i would just get something like a Protected AW 18650. But this is my choice of branding.
Some say that they feel a difference with IMR batteries. Its been a while since I've used a DC carto on an unregulated mod, so i cant actually remember if the hit was any better.
either way, find yourself some type of way, of protecting your mod.
(2cent-fuse, Protected batteries, whatever)
DOA shorted cartos suck....

That would work, but battery life and having to buy a special charger for it , would suck.
But it is an option.
I'm just not a fan of not being able to balance charge a 4 stack of batteries...
*edit*
deleted... not a good idea.

Depends on your enclosure space .... 26650, 18650, 18500, 18350, etc.
Agreed. Have a bike light that has 4 18650s in a single battery pack, lasted 2 months. Have since split them and charge independently.
It certainly wouldn't be my 1st battery of choice... But if 5 volts are required and a boost circuit isn't an option, it's an option worth taking a look at.
This battery seems to be getting some postive feedback:
Amazon.com: 4pcs Panasonic CGR18650CH 3.6 Volt Li-ion shipping free 18650 Battery 2250 mAh: Everything Else
So if I use that, what would I use for a battery holder, or how else would I wire the positive and negative? The only mod scheme I familiar with is the puck. I have no experience working without a wired battery holder.
I think you'll be disappointed by these. They don't last very long and don't hold 5v under load for long if at all.
