CR2 batteries are what you need to use. buy lots of them as they do not last very long. I have a few pairs I ordered three months ago that don't seem to last much over an hour or so.

I thought the whole point of these devices was for long battery
life. I read that other devices would last for days. What makes
the super t less efficient? I really hope they last more than an hour.

Cr2 are the same size as RCR123a i think...

I thought the diameter of the SuperT did not allow for these because it was a smaller diameter.
Never mind i will figure it out when it gets here.

Nope ... 2 different batteries quo .... CR2 and RCR123a are NOT the same.

In 6 volt mode, the Super T1 uses two Cr2 (aka 15270) 3.0 volt batteries. The Super T uses one 16340 3.6/3.7 volt battery in 3.7 volt mode. Here is a link to the Cr2's and a charger for them-

Nothing makes the Super T less or more efficient then any other PV on the market. What determines vaping time is determined by battery type, size, rating and most importantly, how heavy a vaporer you are. While some may get 6 hours of vaping out of a particular battery, others may only get two hours due to their frequency of use. Vaping time is the most subjective and mis-used statistic floating around, followed a close second by vapor production.

If one is using the same batteries and same atomizer on two different brands of PV's you will get similar results in vapor production and battery life.

I get about 4 hours out of 2-cr2 battys 6V. It all depends on how much you vape and how old the battys are. Get 10 if you can. Also if you order from deal extreme and you use regular shipping it will take from 3-4 weeks to receive your order.

There are some suppliers you can get them from if you want them faster. I cant remember who they are at the moment but someone may chime in.

okay, that makes sense. some people who have claimed
'days' of use only use it for a few minutes at a time, give or take, and it lasts for a couple or more days. but a heavy user might get 30 minutes out of a normal battery would get 4 or more times that from these larger batteries. makes sense.

thanks for the clarification. i'll try not to freak out next time.

On another thread (I believe it was in the batt mods section) someone was rating their use based on ml's vaped per charge.

I thought that was a pretty fair measuring stick - you vape alot you use a lot of juice.

There is a difference in 6v and 3.7 vaping. People talking days of use are usually using a 18650 battery at 3.7 vaping. Or a 14500 battery 3.6 volt for the whole day.

Most Mods use both 3.7 and 6v configurations. Depends on the battery used.

You cant get that long at 6v presently as no one makes a single cell 6v with high mah rating. About 900mah is all that is made so far in the 3v battery called Cr2's.

I have seen a 3000mah battery in the 3.7 18650 models.

So you may have been confused as to 3.7 vs. 6v configurations.

Hope this helps.

Ah!
I have some 15270 here.
No idea where i bought them from.

Does anyone know what charger to use?
I don't seem to have bought a charger for these...they are so small !!

thanks
