Battery n00b confused

[Baums]

Could someone please explain the difference between these two batteris:

eFest IMR18650 Flat-Top Battery

eFest IMR18650 Flat-Top Battery

I just ordered a Zmax and want to get the best for it. Thanks all.

Also, any difference between button or flat top?

That second one listed is not an efest it is an EH battery.Not sure if they re-wrapped the efest with EH???Flat does not have the button(nipple top) in the center top for easier connection

One seems to be a 2000 mah battery, and the other is 2250mah, so the 2nd one should, theoretically, provide slightly longer vape time.

Also, one has a nipple and one doesn't. You should find out if the ZMax requires that the battery have a nipple, requires that it doesn't have a nipple, or if it doesn't matter.

That being said, I'm not familiar with this brand. I try to stick with AW batteries.... but perhaps someone else, with experience with eFest batteries, can chime in and say if they're as good as AW or not.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance. If they'll both work, go with the 2250 mah batteries.

Everyone beat me to it!

Some mods need the button to fit the hardware and others work fine with a flat top battery. The best advice is to email your vendor and ask for advice on the best battery for your Zmax. Or, you can float around the forums after searching for "best Zmax battery" and listen to those who have been through the search.

For instance, my Provari has a center contact that is flush with the circuit board. A flat top battery won't make contact. It's more about battery length and contact suitability than personal choice.

I do use Efest batteries and the first one IS an Efest 2250Mah batt. i use these exclusively,nothing else since they hit the shelves a little over a month ago.The second one is an E.H. batt i do not use them and not sure how well they perform.

The 2250 efest do come in button top but the button top is recessed into the top of the batt.Meaning the top of the button is flush with the top of the batt itself.

EH stands for E-Home. No experience using them, and they don't appear on this reference chart: Brand Comparisons, however they seem to receive positive reviews here on the forum. Efest, considering their increased availability over and equal performance to AW, are the way to go, IMO.
