So, I'm deciding whether or not to purchase an e-lvt mod. I have a Russian 91 on top of it right now and it actually looks great and vapes great. I like all the functions and I think it will work well for my style of vaping. My only issue is that my efest 3100 batteries seem to be too big to fit into the mod correctly. I tried some lgs that I had laying around and they fit better (still a tight fit but the cover fits nearly flush). Are efest 18650s larger in diameter? If I do end up purchasing this mod, I will most likely grind on the back plate, just enough to give the battery a little more room. What do you guys think?
E lvt and efest batteries- issue

I'll post some pics when I get on the lap top tomorrow or Tuesday. Really a nice combination. I have another idea of what I want to do to an lvt but I think it's better suited in the vv vw thread.
Last question tonight, is it safe/good for the batteries to be charged in the device? I have a external charger that I'm using and I'm not sure if I should trust the charging feature or not. They last about a day and a half so far, so it's not really a big deal to have to change them out. Is rather preserve the life of my batteries than be lazy and just plug the device in. May be a dumb question, but I want to be sure.
EFEST
Just an FYI.
If your batteries are the purple Efest 18650 2500mAh 35A batteries -- they are not 35A continuous. They are really rebranded LG18650HE2 2500mAh 20 amp continuous batteries.

Here is another warning that was posted on ECF regarding another purple Efest battery: Efest 3100mAh battery caution

Which eFest 3100 mAh battery? The Purple IMR's or the Black/silver protected ICR's?
The black/silver is longer - because of the added protection - and it's a very low current battery which is unsuitable for vaping. Hell, it can't provide enough current to operate some flashlights even.

My efest 3400 is too long and doesn't fit. The rest of my batteries fit good. Flat top batteries work. I have 2 e-LVT's and I love mine. My R91 looks good on the grey mod.
They look like pretty good components in the mod. I think you should have no problem, but the e-LVT is not a true pass-through device. So I just slap another battery in mine. Also it's not good to charge a battery unattended. My e-LVT charged another battery 1/2 hour faster than my wall charger and only used 0.529V from the e-LVT battery.
Instead of modding your LVT to fit your batteries, why not get some different batteries. Skip the Efests and get some AW IMR's.
