battery problem or the mod problem?

I tested them with my in line meter.

efest 18650 off Amazon. (because they Prime so, easy return if fakes)

Here's a great video of mooch on the vapor trail channel.

@Mooch - thanks for the great informational video!

Which Efests though, there are quite a few?

An inline ammeter or voltmeter? What made you set a 30A rating and not some other number?

 

[BlueMoods]

there is only one efest 18650 that I can find for sale anywhere I shop and, that's only on Amazon.

Which efest are you using?

efest has at least 4 18650 cells they claim as having a 35a rating on the wrap.
3000mAh
2900mah
2800mah
2500mah

The only thing about an efest battery that can be 'authentic' efest is the wrap, they do not manufacture cells.

Just because a cell *can* put out 30A, doesn't mean it *should* or that it's rated for it - you are almost certainly overstressing those cells, drawing 30A - AFAIK Efest doesn't rewrap *anything* with a CDR of 30A.

My efests were okay but doesn't mean they will be every time

Hi Syaafiq
Can't add anything but agreement with everyone suggesting dumping that AWT battery. It is not 40 amps & 3400 mAh because the highest amperage battery available (from reputable battery makers) in that size is 30 amps and that one has sacrificed capacity to achieve it as it is only a 1500 mAh. That means you simply can't trust that AWT battery to be safe since you have no idea what its true amperage limit is. A 20 amp 3000 mAh is likely the most popular vaping battery in use.

40 watts should ampage at 12 watts an so forth, on my alien and rx it reads at 12 as it should on my samsung 30q. When I tried efest it read at 7a so you can see how terrible they are

I don't think those words mean what you think they mean. ;D

The amp display on the Alien (and all other mods with an amp display that I know of) show the amps at the atomizer, not at the battery.

Why do they do that, you think? Seems a pretty useless figure, to me. Worse, even, than just not showing amps on the screen at all, since now people will think (and do think, clearly) that it references input current (amp drain on the batteries), which actually would be helpful to know, if it were the figure shown on the screen, which it's not. Why not? Surely it's doable, right? Mod knows the watt setting, knows the battery voltage (presumably) and knows its own efficiency level (presumably -- I mean, those last two are how it knows it's got the first one right to begin with, right?) so it already "knows" what the input current is. Why, then, choose to show the other, useless (as far as I can tell) "output" current instead? It just doesn't make sense to me...

I've been thinking about that myself. The scary thought is that the manufacturers don't quite understand how their own devices work. But surely it can't be that bad?

LOL...surely, you jest.
