best 16340 batteries for saber touch vari volt??

[frnkj74]

Greetings everyone I have a question about some 16340batteries for the saber touch vari volt, where would I be able to pick some upat (reasonable price), but I’m wanting some that have a mah rating higher than880 (so the charge lasts a really really long time in between charges… I’m abit of a heavy vaporer) & that they actually fit…what I mean is I’ve readabout batts that don’t allow the cap to screw down all the way…also a goodcharger for them, not a fast charger ‘cause I think fast charge = fast discharge(please correct me if I’m wrong…sorry but I consider myself still a bit of anoob in training especially when it comes to mods) thank you in advance to anyone that can lend a helping hand &your help will be VERY MUCH appreciated…vape WELL MY FRIENDS..vape WELL

There are a whole bunch of batteries out there that claim to be a certain mah, but sadly, it's is not always true. If you buy your batteries from ebay or one of the chinese web vendors you never really know if the mah rating is correct or a fabrication. Your best bet is to buy from a reputable vendor that will stand behind their products. AW is a big name in batteries that have proven very good, but I have used the flamed Trustfires and both the regular and IMR Panasonics with great success. You vape long enough you will get a stash of batteries and will find your favorites. As far as chargers, I use the highest mah rating I can find. The best chargers will have separate channels for each battery, this is very important. Fast charge in Lithium batteries does not mean fast discharge. My main charger is a Soshine SC-S1 with 4 slots and it works great! Have fun!

Again, totally depends on the individual battery. However... An 18350 is slightly bigger and generally will last a bit longer. FYI, the battery number tells you its physical size. The first two numbers are its diameter and the second two numbers are its length.

I use the red AW 700mah 18350s. They last twice as long as the Trustfire 16340s I got (they had flames on the plastic and were advertised at 600mah I think). As a bonus, they fit the battery compartment perfectly, and don't rattle around like the 16340s do. I've been rotating the same two sets since I got my VV last August, and they're still going strong. I highly recommend them.

I've grown to loathe 16340's because the gray Trustfires I've picked up aren't a consistent size and the life in them is equally unpredictable (ymmv - maybe I'm unlucky...could happen). I've tried an 18350 in my mini when not using the (wonderful) pass-thru. Will pick up a pile and try in the 5v.

Thanks for starting this thread!

you're welcome sewknitty & thank you for giving me your opinion on the 16340's, I'm starting to find out that these batteries are not as awesome as I thought they would be, I mean I haven't tried them yet 'cause I don't have a mod yet but I like to research everything before I buy & I do that with everything not just vaping stuff don't wanna buy a lemon know what I mean, I bought a lot of lemons when I was younger now I carefully take my time thumping & feeling & looking before I buy my fruit lol!! vape well my friend vape well

does that mean that the mini can use the 18350 as well?

I'm not sure ainako you'd probably have to contact sewknitty on that one since it's something that they stated, good luck finding out though...may the vape be with you....

Yes and 100% sure.

I'm having dropping voltage problems on my saber vv. I'm using 16340 protected trustfires. It sounds like switching to AW IMR's will remedy this? And I can use two 18350 AW IMR's for the best battery life and voltage control? Just wanted to make sure I understood this correctly! I love the switch and the look and feel of my saber, but I can't use it with the voltage drop I am currently experiencing! Thanks!

Amber, if you are using dual coil carts, make sure your Saber is the High Power version... will have a second sticker inside that says 5 amp edition. This edition will not have any drop off. See, dual coils draw a lot of amps. Using (2) 16340 AW IMR 3.7v batts will help.

 

[AmberB]

I stay away from dual coil because I feel like it blows out the flavor. Singles only for me! I ordered two sets of AW IMR 16340's yesterday and can't wait to get them in and start using this beauty. Thanks so much!

 

[Sir_Lawrence]

I agree with you about dual coils... I hate the "popping" sound, and I get a harsh taste.

 

[VD93]

Sir_Lawrence, can you confirm that the AW 18340 batteries will work in the Saber Touch VV (High Power)? I am awaiting mine in the mail.. I bought the 16340s, but I really need long battery life, as I work 12-15 hour days, and am a pretty heavy vape(about 4 mils a day in a tank). I would welcome any suggestions that would get me to the longest battery life I can get with this device.

Feel free to PM me if you don't feel comfortable discussing using batteries other than the recommended 16340s publicly.

Thanks, and SEND MY MOD!!

 

[Sir_Lawrence]

If you mean 16350 batteries... then yes... 2 of them will fit and give longer battery life.

These folks are apparently using 18350s in their Sabers successfully... That is what I was asking about.

 

[Sir_Lawrence]

Oh, I have never tried them, but if they work for them, I guess they are OK.

 

[VD93]

They are 3.7v and 700 Mah, rather than 550. The question is, do they really fit?
