Battery question

How much difference will 3.6v batteries make vs. 3.7v?

They're the same. We usually say 3.7. batteries often say 3.6 on the side. Same things. Li Ion cells.

Just wondering I found some ultra fire 14500 3.6v 1000mah IC protected 9.25 for a pair just making sure they would work for my reo mini I'm getting.

Sounds like it will. Assume the reo takes 1 14500. BTW.. mAh ratings are like the 1 cart = 1 carton ratings.... meh. lol.

Assume you have a charger too? Or is one built in? IDK where "The 269" is, but if in the States..... you can see reviews at sites like Welcome to MadVapes LLC

Some swear by the AW IMR batteries (high drain). Others specific brands. I think it's a get what you pay for type of thing, sales notwithstanding.

Of course, use protected batteries (those are).

I got the a smart charger already. I would rather have protected than high drain so I don't over charge/drain them.

Btw the 269 is michigan

$10 for two isn't bad, but their header says $9.95 flat rate shipping for orders over $100! What is it for orders under $100??? I'd definitely be looking at Madvapes!

Also check deal extreme. They ship from China so you have to wait a couple of weeks, but shipping is free and the prices are about half what you'd pay from a state side vendor.

Shipping was only $3.95 i ordered them on tuesday and got them on thursday. They are in Seattle and I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Very fast. Only issue is that they are actually only 900mah instead of 1000 mah like advertised I emailed them requesting they fix the product details.

Most of the time the mah ratings are overstated anyway, 900 is optimistic, 1000 in a 14500 size is a bald face lie. As long as the batteries are working for you and you're happy with them, you're fine.
