I bet you you can get a reputable vendor.

I have to admit (unless it's a custom's issue or something) that the price of shipping to your location would be lower than the price of facial reconstruction.

But I have gotten a bit hardcore about batteries honestly. Seen too many nasty explosions.

IDK good luck and all that though.

Hey friends i just received the kit. Got the samsung 25R 18650 afterall.

So to use it in this mod i have to use the battery adaptor. But im not sure which side of the battery(positive or negative) should be inserted into the adaptor.

You can see which adaptor it is/how it looks like here, if necessary (it shows up about 60% of the way scrolling down that page and then shows up again, better look at it at 70% of the way down):

Yep... thats exactly the problem i had. I tried looking up online and saw it placed both ways, so i was unsure.

It looked like it didnt matter, but i thought it would be better to check with you guys.

@Punk In Drublic @Baditude @Eskie @sonicbomb

Just one more question gentleman, its kinda unrelated, but otherwise i would have to open another thread.

What about vapes that come with internal batteries (usually mini versions of the main mod)? Do they basically have a lifespan? I mean, if you arent able to replace the batteries, i imagine they must have, correct? If so, how long do they last? Or can you just keep recharging them forever?

As I think this out further, it probably is a better idea putting the adaptor over the negative end of the battery because if put over the positive end of the battery it could inhibit the escape of gas should the battery vent.

The adapter does allow for venting, but that is my reasoning for inserting negative side

Devices that have internal cells, once the life of the cell diminishes to the point where the device is no longer functional, or displays poor performance, the whole device needs to be replaced. Calculating that life can be difficult for it will depend on how it is used. But a good guess would be approx. a year. Assuming no other failures of course.

You're correct in that you can't replace the internal battery. As the battery is used and ages, it will lose its mAh capacity over time. You'll notice that it doesn't last as long per charge. This is usually pretty gradual. The battery should be useful for 1 - 2 years if used daily. After that, entire device will need to be recycled and replaced.

How hard you push the battery probably determines how long it will last. If you have an 80 watt mod with a 2200 mah battery, and vape at 75 watts its life expectancy won't be as long as vaping at 30 watts instead.

Generally all Li cells are good for between 300-500 cycles of charge discharge. You can kinda figure out from there how heavy your use will be to get a ballpark on how long the device will hold out. I have one mod with a replaceable Li ion pack which only gets light use and the original pack is still holding a charge just fine. And that's well over 3 years. But again, it's not in frequent rotation.

Depending on future regulations in the US, a self contained battery system may be all that gets approved to avoid the issue of using loose Li batteries never designed for retail use. These were designed to be used in manufacturing battery packs for things like cordless drills or older laptops that had swappable battery packs. Not us folk.

There are pro's and cons to both internal and external batteries. Mods with internal batteries are often smaller and more pocket friendly, and some people (especially newbies) aren't comfortable with using the external batteries... which also require a separate charger, which is an additional expense if buying their first vape setup.

With external batteries you are more easily able to monitor the batteries for heat production while they charge. If the battery reaches its voltage cutoff during use, it can easily be replaced with a second battery to be able to continue vaping. With an internal battery mod, you'd have to wait an hour or two to recharge the battery before you could continue to vape.

We don't get to chose which internal battery the manufacturer uses, but we do get to choose the batteries used in an external battery mod.

Internal Battery (Lipo) or External Batteries (18650)? Which type is right for you?

That's the mod I have. I liked the idea of a swappable Lipo and a still having the option of using the sled.

One thing that just crossed my mind... for MTL tanks i should be using batteries on my mod with the highest capacity possible right? Since MTLs are mostly high resistance/low wattage types of vapes.

The samsung 30Q would be the best option from the mooch sheet on a dual battery mod from my understanding. I should be good up to 90W which is well above than what id use on an MTL, and would be getting the most durable/more time out of them before having to recharge than any other option.

Is that a correct line of thinking?

A dual battery mod with 30Qs in it at average 10W mtl vaping should last you a few days before needing a recharge. Unless you vape 40 ml of juice a day mtl. But I'm guessing that's doubtful. I hope.
