best 18650 batteries?

[caasing]

If you were to use a 20A battery in a regulated mod that needed a 30A battery the chip in the mod would protect itself by telling you "high temperature warning" and refuse to fire if the board started getting hot.

However, the mod has no idea if the battery is being stressed too hard or not. And a battery being stressed too hard will have a shortened life and, if stressed hard enough, can vent or worse.

Some mods might monitor the battery voltage drop but that doesn't tell you how badly the battery is being overstressed as different batteries have different voltage drops. Some mods can monitor the temperature of the circuit board but that doesn't tell you the temperature of the battery, no matter how close you mount the board to the battery.

You must still select a battery that can handle the current the mod draws without overheating.

That was sick. Great explanation.

Though I have to ask, is the Subox Mini capable of any of these functions? Meaning let's say I'm using the Subox Mini and I make the mistake of overdrawing on the battery, what happens?

Actually wanted to order my vape already but realized that didn't come with battery/charger. I'm wondering if Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mA 20A continuous or LG HE2 is more recommended for Subox Mini?

 

[caasing]

Both are fine as far as I've heard. Samsung 25r is a cheaper one though.

@caasing hm... That's good to know, I would try and get my kit and battery at the same time now knowing that it's safe.

 

[caasing]

Yup if you get your kit up north, the stock batteries they give sometimes are ICR type which are up to 5.2A. Seen one case with my friend. Just be careful and stay safe! Always good to read and find out how to be safe.

Will try to source for locally discreetly first before sourcing online, getting up north doesn't seem to be an option for me since not daring enough Haha.

For the battery it wouldn't be illegal. There are local shops here selling reputable batteries like LG and Sony etc. Anyway always change the crap battery given if u go nearby up north.

I'm using LG chocolate bar, and if I want to Vape at 80 to 100w, it's not safe right? Based on the calculations, I need between 25A to 31.25A..

Actually came across this Vappower 18650 30A Continuous Discharge Battery

Anyone using it? The brand looks hipster enough

 

[KenshinAdryan]

U use 1 or 2 batt?? As far as I know Smok uses 2... LG Choc bar is rated at 3000 mAh, hence you’re getting great battery life on your mod, and they have a high enough amperage (20A constant current, 35A pulse current load) u should be safe.

First glance looked like fappower. In my mind wth are u vaping??

I know. Personally I'm equipped with LG HE4 batteries. Vappower seems like an effort to rebrand their batteries. Got one type rated at 50A at that. Sounds too good to be true actually haha

It does seem cheap though...

Thanks! Using 2.

hi guys, anyone have any idea are the authentic efest imr18650 3.7v 3000mah 35A rewrapped of lg hg2?

just found a link for it Efest Purple 35A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Test Results...only a 20A battery, equal to HG2 and 30Q though

kimak all ignore my question

 

[KenshinAdryan]

Is Samsung 26H good?

kimak all ignore my question

Your question subjective...
1) what are u using it for? - I know vaping... But those batteries can be used for other things...
2) @ what ohm are u vaping? Sub ohm? Ohm? Sub sub ohm?
3) are you chain vaping? Or tarik and let go?

Different batteries have different strength... Also different prices...
We all above 18.. Hence appreciate better question... And u will receive better answers.

KIMAK dunno how to google?

KIMAK I found some reviews here

Also, PUKIMAK, Someone mentioned this: They are OK for non-subohm builds, but as noted elsewhere the 5.2A limit means you can't go lower than 1.0 Ohms safely.

You're welcome, kimak.
