If you're getting batteries, the capacity aka mah is not the only number you look at. You need to know the C rating which the max discharge current the battery is capable of handling safely(Sometimes this is expressed in ampere or simply A. This number is not always indicated and you have to do your own googling.

In English it mean if you have a battery of 700mah rated at 3C, the battery has a max discharge current of 2100ma which is 2.1A.

Of course, you can have a 10,000mah battery rated @ 1C and you have a max discharge current of 10A.

In a non-protected battery, driving it beyond the C rating may result in catastrophic failure, protected batts may simply refuse to work assuming the circuitry is working as it should. For that matter, IMRs(non-protected) simply fizzle out instead of blowing your mouth and hand to kingdom come.

The Li-ion batts used in PV are like exotic sports car. Anyhow use it and you may end up in the hospital's ER.

Thanks for the info domtine.
Just noticed the compatible with trustfire charger note.
Damn.. ordered bamboo from ... and topped up a couple of stuff to hit the minimum for the discount.
Should've ordered the charger from there too.
Is there a way to check if I'm overcharging the batteries?

If you're using a charger that is designed to charge lithium batts, you shouldn't worry about overcharging them. The charger will stop charging once the batts reach 4.18-4.19V and enter into trickle charge mode to maintain the voltage until you remove them from the charge.

Lol cos when I am working I can't vape all the time ma. 700mah can last me a day man. But when I'm at home, definitely cannot. Haha.

Same problem when at home...eventually someone will come out with a wireless/pass thru power supply for all our mods.
Imagine,vaping at home all day and the only thing you have to change is your liquid!
By then really can be choo choo train liao :evil:
