Best Battery for a Sigelei 19b

[Minjin]

Just got in on a Co-op for one of these devices. I am upgrading from an ego style pv. The Co-op also provided a kick. I am a newb when it comes to a mech. I have a couple questions.

1. Do you really need a kick?
The kick as I understand it provides short circuit protection and will cut the battery off at low voltage to keep from damaging the battery. What other functions does it provide?

2. batteries, batteries, batteries???
I want to keep the PV as short in length as possible but have a battery that will last all day.
What is the best battery?
18490? or do you recommed I just go with the 18650 I know the 650 is longer.
There are so many different batteries what is the absolute best battery?
Consistant vape throughout the day is most important.

Thanks.

There are many good choices for 18650 batteries, but for anything shorter, I would just stick with AW's.

Someone else will have to chime in on the kick.....

What sponsors have the best pricing on batteries?

AW Black 18500 3.7v 1500 mAh protected lithium-ion rechargeable battery

AW Orange 18490 3.7v 1100 mAh LiMN rechargeable battery

Which one of these batteries would be a better choice for this mod?

IMR batteries are good. It also matters what you plan to run on the mod.

I'm buying a RSST, and running dual coil carto tank

The black protected ICR battery will work well and hold charge longer with standard and LR atomizers.
The red unprotected IMR battery is necessary if you plan to use SLR coils.
It has no protection, but is safer chemistry and can handle a much higher amperage draw.

You'll be fine with the AW oranges. Safe Chemistry (IMR) batteries are less likely to go volcanic on you due to their construction.

A "kick" is a variable output device that gives electronic mod functionality to a mechanical. It sits on top of your battery to be in-circuit.

You have to drop a battery size to use it as size wise 18490+kick = 18650 length, for example.

Get the IMR's and a good charger (Xtar, Pila, Nitecore)
