No! NO! Those are NOT batteries meant for vaping.

The highest mAh you'll find (for vape-suitable batteries) are the Panasonic 2900mAh 18650's.

Hey Christie, nyiddle is correct that battery is an ICR chemistry that is violent when things go bad. Using an IMR or hybrid battery is a much safer option.

Among other things, there is no information on the amp rating for these batteries (as far as I can find). These batteries are pretty much strictly for flashlights.

Hello and welcome to the forum CCooper75. Glad to have you here!

The only suitable batteries for vaping with are IMR (Li-Mn) or IMR/Hybrid, safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries. Check out this blog by Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert). He has a list of batteries (and chargers) that would meet your needs. Pay close attention to the Amp rating (especially if you are using rebuildales), not the mah.

So my Samsung ICR-2600 Mah battery should get disposed of and I should get a good brand IMR for my 1.8ohm 4.8 Max voltage device? I do like that this battery lasts a very long time. But if I have to get a high drain battery 2200-2400 mah battery and just charge it a little more often but i'm safer I wouldn't be mad about it.

You can still use your ICR batteries for other applications. They work great in flashlights if you have any that take that size battery.
