Did I buy the wrong batteries??

[Sl4gathor]

I just ordered a sigelei 100w plus, along with a Foxnovo F-4S charger and 4 Panasonic NCR18650B's
I thought I did enough research but stumbled across a few posts stating there unsuitable for vaping...

I usually run my coils in the 1.5-2Ω range and stay in the 12-20 watt range, currently using a Tobeco Kayfun 4 clone.
I was looking for something to last a bit longer then my MVP 20w...

Those cells have a 6.8A CDR. At the low voltage cutoff of 6.4V, you would be pulling 6.77A from the batteries at 39W. So, in theory, as long as you stay under ~39W those batteries should be fine. However, those are ICR chemistry batteries and generally not recommended for vaping. If an ICR cell does vent, it does so violently.

For peace of mind, you can spend $25 and get two pairs of safe chemistry Samsung 25R 20A cells and be good all the way to 100W if you were so inclined.

I wouldn't use them, you're too close to potential venting. This would be a good battery for you and would handle lower ohms quite well. IMR 18650 Battery 30A Orbtronic SX30 Ultra High Drain Hybrid rechargeable Li-ion | Li-Mn

I requested a cancel as they have not shipped yet, if not no biggy, I will think of something....
Thanks to your avatar, I read your response in Daryl's voice.....heh

So then it's down to Orbtronic SX30 or Samsung INR18650-25R
If them are the correct Samsung I will prolly go with them

Yep, those are the correct Samsungs. Hit up Lightning Vapes, order two 2 packs, use code LV15 at checkout - $23.80 with free shipping.

One more quick question, the Samsungs are on the way, I searched and couldnt find much, but obviously my search skills suck.....

Do I put them in the charger and discharge them then charge them back up before using, or just top them off and use as normal??

Top off and use.

don't feel bad SI4gathor.... I did the exact same thing but mine (bought sigelei 100w) was for lasting more than the MVP 2.0 version. Ditto on the I have a guy at work that is ready to quit analogs and I am hopefully going to get him to buy a setup that uses those batteries for a beginners stand point. That way I can pay it forward and help out a fellow future vaper by supplying them with 4 brand new batteries and a new but older (2 month old) charger since I bought a new charger with 4 ports. Those batteries ARE NOT FOR LOW OHMS OR HIGH WATTAGE.

I know that myfreedomsmokes.com does not allow returns on batteries. They would not take them back for refund or exchange per their return policy. I do not know about other sites as I never ordered batteries anywhere else.

Hopefully the order cancelled in time for you. Enjoy your new toy

Was not able to cancel. I'll hang on to them, maybe someone eventually will be able to use them.....
