Battery for mechanical mod.

[Espen Midtbø]

Hey guys, is this batteries good for mechanical mods?

 

[djsvapour]

NO. That is NOT a good choice.

That is only suitable for a regulated VV/VW device. I have 4 of those, they ONLY go in Evic or Vamo.

Great for a regulated vape, but not so for a mechanical.

NO "NCR" means it's an unprotected Lithium Cobalt low amp battery (not "safe chemistry"). It would turn a mechanical mod into a pipe bomb. I would not want to use that battery above a 3.5a draw (50% of continues amp rating)

Look for "IMR" batteries, not ICR, NCR, or LIPO batteries for a mechanical.

Thanks for so good and fast anwers

I see an ø! Velkommen!

Looks like it's ok from the specs shown. I use the red Efest batteries from 101 Vape. They have a 10 amp rating which is ok for me because I don't do super sub-ohm coils. And I always check my build with a calculator to be sure.

NO It's "NCR" (explosive chemistry). There is NO place for lithium cobalt batteries in vaping ! ! !

Your RED efest is IMR, not NCR. IMR is lithium manganese, not lithium cobalt!

Just thought I'd add. It's not all about capacity. It's just as much about efficiency - or how much of of the capacity is either wasted or not available in the voltage ranges (and current) we want for our uses. The high discharge batteries are high discharge because they have a lower internal resistance than more ordinary batteries. This means less energy wasted to heat production and an ability to maintain higher voltages at higher amp draws. Even for regulated mods this has an effect - less need to draw higher current to compensate for voltage drop. If you set your mod to i.e 4.2 volt output and your battery drops to 3.7v under load, your mod will pull higher amps to boost the voltage back to 4.2v.

NOOO . when it comes to mech mods. u need to use brandname proven batteries. Lg he2 30amp or the sony vtc is all i will use. just not worth the few dollars u save at the expense of peace 0f mind

NCR cells aren't suitable for vaping. Even for low draw regulated mods there are much better choices.
