Avid vapor Reo batteries

[sixofusernames]

I'm getting my first cisco atties and noticed they had the IMR high drain 14500 batteries. I was wondering if anyone uses these in their Minis, and how they compare with the AW IMR red ones I already have, I need a couple more, and I'm already at avid vaper, should I try them??

I have a variety of 14500 batteries. Blue, gray, red, red and black. I can't say I see any big difference.

They are the BDL high drain 14500 batteries. They are not good batteries on the Mini. The ***Fire are pretty substandard too.

Thanks!! I'm gonna try them...

Buy the AW protected NOT the BDL IMR's:

Crap I already ordered them. Maybe I can cancel. Why Are they not so good for the Reo?

RE: BDL High Drain batteries. I don't know why they don't perform well. By the specifications, they should perform brilliantly, but by experience of too many REO users, they are duds in use. I think the older ones were fine, and then they went downhill. Manufacturing problems?

Sorry, the BDL IMR are junk. Tried one on a mini waiting for my AW to arrive, very very weak vaping with a LR atty. May be better with a SR if that's what you're using. You may be able to cancel the order if it hasn't been processed. I would also suggest the protected AW (black) if you can't get the red AW IMR.

I would like to mention the flat top batteries will make pressing the switch harder and also puts more pressure on the positive contact.

 

[want to quit]

Agreed with everyone. I had no bat's when my mini arrived and bought one with a flat top ASAP my Red bat's arrived I throw it in the trash junk waste of money.

I got what was suggested and got the AW IMR 14500 batteries. They will be the red ones. I got several of them and so far I am really pleased with them

The BDLs self-drain faster, when stored, after charging. We had 14 of them, and by the time we rotated back to the ones in the box, they had lost a lot charge. More than three days, stored, between use/charge cycle, the lowered charge was noticeable. All of mine were only 2-4 months old when I replaced them with the AW IMR.
