Need to find the C rating of it and see how high of a discharge it can handle. I know some PCCs like the Volt or Bloog uses cell phone batteries.

The Boge Revolution V2 uses something like a cell phone battery. I think the Darwin does too.

I doubt either one use a battery that is actually used in cell phones though. As others have said the current drain is likely to be too much.

As slimest said and I repeat that battery is dangerous to use for vaping, it could explode in your face. I would not use it.

Tell that to the guy who also produced the battery safetyfuses (that are coming to market soon) and makes mod's that use HTC battery's in them...
Hand-Crafted ePipes, custom made personal vaping devices from ePipeMods.com ...more than just an eCig

If someone as reputable/know vendor make's em.. And also is a spokesperson for safety...
I don't see why he'd do something that would be soooooo dangerous, that it gets half of you on your back feet.

You would have to know the load capacity of the batt he is using to know if it is safe, the original batt in this thread was less than 1c and that is dangerous no matter who uses it, unless the Fin's have a secret we don't know or it is just so cold they won't burn. lol

That is a 3500 mAh batt very different from the 850 mAh that started the thread.

The box is powered by a 3500 mAh HTC EVO 3D Li-ion 3.7V battery.

These batteries are dual IC+ PCB proctect including over current, and short circuit.

The batt in his box will handle over 3amps and the original discussed less than one amp. Most attys draw over 1amp..

A single cell phone battery is designed to be low drain and last as long as possible, while it may fire an atty it would certainly be underpowered an the strain would only encourage tragic failure. That 3500 mAh evo cell is still designed to be low drain. That being said, running two cells in parallel not only doubles the mAh, but also the current. Protection concerns aside, 2C is still not all that exciting.

Hany, I have no idea of the supply issues in Egypt, as it is we just got a local supplier of AW IMR's about two months ago here. If you can find a way to import from somewhere then the world is your oyster. Those Sanyo's look to be worlds better than any commercial ecig operation, and certainly a cell phone battery. They don't have PCB protection so you want to be careful not to discharge too low and watch that they charge properly. Not dangerous but you need to be responsible with them.

thanks for your reply

what you mean with discharge. do you mean that i stop use when it near to empty. not to use untill it very empty?
notes: i am heavy somk in normal cig i smok about 2 to 3 pack/day is that problem for unprotected battery?

you said its not dangerous that mean it will never explode??? i will use external unvirsal recharge
or what is the problem maybe i make to avid it. and what is the problem make any battery explode in my face to avid?

sorry for my too many questions but i am afraid from explode when use near of my face....

Hany, if you are new to modding, and it sounds like you are (welcome aboard btw ;)) battery choice and use is NOT something to be toyed with...you aren't playing with a flashlight here, vaping is essentially the controlled shorting out of a battery with the expressed aim to create heat. The batteries used by the modders on this forum are used for a reason, they have been proven to be safe (99.5% of the time, hey nothing is perfect :p). There are some pretty knowledgeable peeps on here that have seen it all and want to see you succeed (and see what cool stuff you may create)...drop the cell phone batt idea, you'll only be demanding about 400+ % above it's designed output rating and bad things will happen.

We want you around long enough to maybe create the next uber mod that we'll all spend $$$ on :D

Anyway some people who do not know how accumulators work, try to ask, but if answers don't fit their opinion, they hope to find alternatives. If they find them, nothing can keep them from test.
We warned, now everyone can make decision :)
What is scary is how many people pop in and say they can and have used these unsafe batteries and because they didn't explode they have a false view or give a false view to others that they are safe.

I agree totally with Slimest...peeps hear what they "want" to hear, it's just human nature...I once asked over 100 doctors...finally I found one that said smoking is totally safe...there you have it!, a professional opinion, sure, he held a doctorate in theoretical physics but who cares? where's my smokes...:laugh:

I remember the anecdote:
- Doctors say that drinking a wine is dangerous...
- Hey, I gave to my physician some money and he accepted everything...

:)

hany3h, burnt taste means:
1. Bad, already burnt atomizer
2. Your atomizer does not have enough liquid
3. Too much power on the heater (too much voltage or too low resistance).
4. There are basics about using e-cigs. They are described everywhere.

Seems that you lost in your problems. If so, try first realize, where is your problem: bad atomizer, bad liquid supply to heater, too low resistance.
But I think that you just have to adjust liquid supply according to your style. Use search, for me Google is the best.
