APV that uses 26650 flat top batteries

[JRohrer]

Hello all. I am an avid vaper. I am also an avid hardware collector:
batteries: Ego twist, itaste VV 3.0, itaste MVP 2.0, and 3 different size ego's.
Mech: Kamry K101, and Infinte Cartel Copper.
tanks: 2 Kanger Protank 3, 1 Kanger Protank 2, 2 Aspire Natulaus 5.0, and 2 Aspire Mini.
RDA: 2 TOBH ATTY V2.
Batteries: 4 Efest 18650 2000mAH flat top.

I've got alot of hardware LOL. My next interest is a APV that will work well with my 18650 2000mAH batteries. I love my itast APV's, but I also love the idea of quickly swapping a battery when I'm out and about. I've been doing some research and see that there are lots of options.

My biggest question is: Will my collection of 2000mAH batteries work well with the APV's out there. I have read that some APV's want a higher drain battery. I don't want to purchase new batteries for the APV. I am not much of a max watt/volt vaper. I find that I rarely go above 9 watts when using a tank. Max wattage in an APV isn't that important to me.

I'm leaning more towards a tube style then a box mod also. I'm also a tech geek so screens and flashy lights are a plus.

Does anyone have any experience running APV's using 2000mAH batteries? Am I dumb to want an APV that uses 26650 batteries with what I already have in my collection?

Thank you in advance!

Those Efest batteries are 10amp batteries, you might be able to use it in a dna30 clone. 30 watts at 0.3 is right at 10amps.

I wouldn't get I to any higher mod with those batteries though.

I use a flat top Efest 20amp battery in my Cloupor dna30 and works great.

Since you are using your devices at 10watt mostly , it is not very likely you will go over the limits, 10A, of your batteries.
However you should use an ohms law calculator like Ohm's Law Calculator
for a while until you get a bit of a feel for the loads you put on your batteries. (Which can always be calculated if you know the resistance of your coil and the watts or volts you set your device at)
It is not the number of mili amps (mah) but the maximum continuous discharge rate of a battery that determines if you are safe.
This rate is usually indicated in either amps or C. The C rating you multiply with the mah and devide by 1000 to get the rate in amps or vice versa. (1.5C with a 2000mah battery makes a 3 amp max discharge for your ohms calculator. )
Most apvs will do fine with your batteries. Don't buy the 50+ watt ones though without buying some high drain imr batteries.

No I think it makes sense to buy a 26650 device. You don't have it yet no? so if your budget allows, go for it.
