Sound OK to me. It has less mAh (milliamp hours) but it's high drain (that you don't need with 18650 size since you only need 2.1 ish amps). You may put it aside if you wish, but I'd use it. Less mAh means less vaping duration so it will drop off quicker. Sounds like you're doing the right thing.

You should think about a multi-meter if you haven't already. Then you can test the voltage easily and see actual #'s to go with your experiences. All batteries drop off. The quick drop is from 4.2 volts to 3.7ish volts after a fresh charge. It stays around 3.7/3.6 for quite a bit, and when it hits 3.5 it drops again like a rock.

Nobody talks about stacking 18650 here,no need to pull the alarm



Single cell (crappy battery) venting. Just one example. It can happen on charge. It can happen when shorted.

Use either A) protected batteries or B) safe chemistry (Like IMR)
See ECF's guidelines.
