Correct battery for evic?

[AlphaMamba]

Hi guys,

I want to buy a new battery for my evic... I saw in this thread discussion about the 3400 mah battery for evic, which I want to buy however the link in the OP to gotvapes does not work anymore.

Is this the correct battery to buy below? And should I be getting flat top or protected top?

$12.96 Panasonic NCR18650B Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping


Thanks

Which Evic do you have? The Evic VT? One that can run sub-Ω coils?

If you give us the specs or model # we can give you advise.

Your Evic (original)* is a regulated mod. It uses buck/boost circuitry to regulate voltage/wattage. It will perform best with a high drain IMR battery with at least 10 Amps of continuous discharge rate. Why High Drain Batteries?

The Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah battery will "work" in the Evic, but there are far better batteries available which will allow your Evic to perform optimally to its full potential. This battery has a continuous discharge rate of only 6 amps. This battery was designed and is best suited for a low drain application like a flashlight.

Any of the high drain 18650 batteries listed in the below blog link will perform well in your Evic. I will suggest:

Panasonic or Orbtronic NCR18650BD 3200mAh 10Amps
Panasonic or Orbtronic NCR18650PF (LiNiCOMnO2) 2900mAh 10Amps
Panasonic or Orbtronic NCR18650PD (LiNiCoAl) 2900mAh 10Amps
Orbtronic 18650 3500mAh 10Amps (new)

* If your Evic is the newer high-wattage model, you'll need a 20 - 30 amp continuous battery.

The Panasonic 3,400 (green) battery was the 'original' EVIC (v.1) battery along with a similar (pink) 2,000 Samsung.
They work, they are cheap. They also don't really manage to provide full performance.
Also, they are not IMR.
I have 4, but certainly wouldn't buy them now... not with much stronger and safer batteries available.

The Panasonic (and Orbtronic) NCR18650B 3400 mah battery is actually an IMR/hybrid battery (nickle/cobalt chemistry), safe chemistry but not high drain.

The pink Samsung was an ICR chemistry battery. Not high drain nor safe chemistry.

Neither battery was what I would consider to be an optimal battery to use in any vaporizor. It just showed me how little the product designers or marketing team knew about batteries that they would recommend either of them for their product.

I never knew that. My VTC 5 died on me, so it'll be interesting to see how better batteries perform in 'outdated' mods. I can't see my using my evic, but the Vamo (V5) is still in operation. That was always weak with the Panasonic 3,400s.

Seems that one above I linked says for flashlights only, so I guess This is the one I should be buying? 3500 mAh IMR 18650 battery high drain rechargeable Orbtronic cell 3.7V Li-ion

What do you know about these?
Seems a lot of money for a 10A battery.

that this is a better battery to get. Should I be getting flat top or button top?

Yeah, the two batteries are different chemistry. You want the IMR high drain model (not protected).

It has a lot of mah capacity (3500 mah) for a high drain battery.

The vast majority of vapors are low watt/high resistance vapers and place more priority on capacity than higher amp output. 10 amps is plenty for a Tootle Puffer.

Shouldn't matter for your Evic. Unless the manufacturer states that their product requires one or the other, either will suffice.

Yes, I guess so. Anyway... I just got home to 2 new batteries in the vape mail!
