Battery question.

[Bonskibon]

Thinking of purchasing a kick but it says in the description to use with IMR batteries and wondering if my LG H2 are of that chemistry to use with?

EDIT: I meant to say HG2 and NOT H2 which created confusion that turned out to not even be necessary. It was my fault and I'm sorry.

Stop. Dont order the kick yet because you have alot of reading to do.

You need to learn basic battery knowledge before touching a mech.

You should only be using IMR batteries, and you need to understand what you are doing or you are gonna get yourself hurt.

From your OP I can tell that you havent done much research at all.

Im not being a ....., Im being honest.

Vape safe.

Looking it over now. I have done research, but guess I need more. Thanks for pointing that out about the batteries. I use the LG H2 in my regulated devices but was unaware that they could NOT be used in a mech mod. I need a certain battery for that.

LG HE2 and HG2 Are IMR cells.

If you dont know what batteries you are using, you are asking for trouble.

Did someone advise you to buy this gear?
What mod are you using?

 

[Bonskibon]

@Bad Ninja so from what I'm seeing using an IMR battery in a mech mod is safer? Can IMR batteries be used in regulated devices? I do have a couple IMR 18350 I purchased a while back for my Vmax.

Yes, depending on the requirements of the device.
High drain IMR cells are listed with a Continuous Discharge Rating.
You device and your builds need to keep power requirements below this threshold.

Seriously you need to spend some time reading.
Be safe.

I'm using the LG chocolate battery in my istick 60w and was a battery I picked from Moochs list.

I won't be vaping anything under 1 ohm. I feel like I'm getting yelled at.

Its a good cell.
Its an HG2.

It sounds like you know where to find the info, but havent bothered to actually read it.

 

[Bonskibon]

but havent bothered to actually read it.

That's not true. I am trying to understand and just asking questions to BETTER understand. Thanks for your help.

Sorry.
My bedside manner isnt very PC but lets get real:
We are both grown adults discussing the dangers of sucking on a 20amp cell to get our nic fix.

I will always give solid advice, but I dont candy coat anything for adults.

 

[Bonskibon]

I got upset by they way I was being talked to, but have calmed down and now have a better understanding about the different battery types. Just needed a little guidance was all.

High drain ( > 20 amps) IMR cells by a reputable manufacturer (i.e. Sony, LG, Samsung, and Panasonic makes some nice IMR 26650) are the only batteries you should use for vaping; the only exception would be a mod with a built in LiPo.

If I'm using LG HG2 for my istick 60w... am I using the wrong battery? I understand now the "safer" chemistry to be used with mech mods.

 

[Nikea Tiber]

High drain IMR cells are all you should use in regulated mods as well; the only exception at the moment are regulated mods with built in LiPo battery packs.

 

[Bonskibon]

Then WHY am I being told that using LG HG2 in my regulated mods is ok? wt......

 

[Bonskibon]

I've been using the LG HG2 batteries in my istick 60w mod for months and NOW I'm being told I shouldn't be using them?

I think you're misreading the info. IMR or IMR hybrid batteries are the only batteries recommended for ALL vaping devices.
