Thanks so much for that info! 320 is better than 200!!! How long are these lasting you btw before you really feel like you need to throw them on the charger?

Obviously, it depends on the frequency of vaping.:)
I am one who is always attached to the REO,:D so my vaping is nearly uninterrupted and a pair lasts to me about 1.5 to 2 hours. But with a normal frequency should be able to do more.
For charging, I use some chargers Since for CR2 and when the batt are new, before to charge, I use them until exhaustion, then I make the first charge (the same system of cellphone batt:D)

Only one care if you order in the factory: Take only 14250 IFR with high pole, not with flat cap, because these are less good and have only 200mAh

MOQ is 100 so unless you do a "group buy" thats vendor sized quantities... (Great price though. :))

Hi Mike, nice to see you:)

the manufacturer's site says 100 pieces, but in reality, I have ordered only 40:D and wanting even less.
The problem is that shipping costs are high, then more batteries you order, more is the gain

Hi Reonauti:)

Well. I see that finally you have found the batteries to use the mini to 6v.
I knew from long time the existence of IFR 14250, and I started using them already a few months ago, before they were sold on Innovapor
My IFR 14250 I bought directly from a Chinese factory: in fact they are different from those sold in shops. Mine are blue and have 320mAh.
if anyone is interested, here is the site where I ordered. Li-Fepo4 Battery IFR14250 - China Battery, Li-Fepo4 Battery, Lithium Battery in Battery, Storage Battery & Charger

Their price is ridiculous (about $ 1 each), but shipping costs are quite expensive.
So, here in Italy, I organized a buying group with other Reonauti, just to save on costs:D
Think about it;)

Here is a picture of my mini

UFO,

Have you tested those 320mAh Batts on a real Batt testing machine ? I would bet you that they are over specked as most Chinese Batteries are and the real mAh is only 200 or so ! The Chinese Batt Manufacturers love to over spec there Batts to make them look good for sales.

No, my friend, I have not tested them, because I do not own a machine for testing amperage. However, having also the IFR 200mAh, I realized that the chinese factory ones last a little longer and it seems to me that they are also a little bit aggressive

I can't give you any updates except I use them ocassionally when I get cravings. They are terrific for that, and I'm happy to have the option. For consistent use at 6v, get a Grand.

Rob just wants us to be happy vapers :)

As long as the mod has some spring room I am happy.

i do not own a mini yet, so i can only make some assumptions.
Btw, Mini can host batteries of about 14 mm on diameter, larger batteries are not allowed.
But i think that with a dremel tools it could be possible to do a crevice of about 1-2 mm on the back side, with 45 degree angle on edges, so batteries could penetrate a little on the side and it would be possible to stack two 15266, if the spring allow them.
CR2s are terrible batteries because of the PCB, but with a good atomizer, more than 3,5 ohm, CR2 works quite fine.
I know that speak about dremeling our beloved REOs is really a pain :)

I checked. I have no idea about safety (they are not protected), but they are also not rechargeable.

It was a nice idea, though :)

You are right Margie. They are primary batteries, so not rechargeable.

Before buying my IFR14250 for vaping the Mini at 6v (I'm a 6v man:D), I did a lot of research on this type of battery.
About those at 3v, the best 14250 I've found, as I said in some previous posts, are these:http://it.made-in-china.com/co_pkcell1/product_Li-FePO4-Battery-IFR14250_hnyoghryg.html

While, about the 14250 3.7 V more than 350mAh are not on the market (if you want rechargeable batts and not primary ones:D): I know, because my Old Goat 5v use 2x14250 al 3,7v. Also in this case, I did a lot of research and the ones with the max mAh on sale are here: Protected 14250 Battery, 350 mAH

Aren't those too tall at 27mm each that puts them at 4mm taller than 14500's and 7.4v right?
