EH 18650 2000mah batteries ...

[Ranic85]

So I ordered AW IMR 18650 2000mah batteries, and pbdragon.com sent me these crappy EH IMR 18650 2000mah batteries. I am trying to see now if I am returning the batteries, or if the C rating is good enough to do .8ohm dual coils. Unfortunately I cannot find any information on the C rating on these crappy cheap batteries anywhere. Can anyone help me? I am really kinda upset, considering I just got my nimbus and was excited to go sub ohm.

If you ordered AWs, they should send you AWs... EHs are on average just over half the price of equivalent AWs.
Having said that, they are quality batteries, I own EH 18350s and 18500s . I've seen the 18650 2000 mAh advertised with a 8C rating, but personally wouldn't push them past 10 Amps.

So I should be okay with using them at .8ohms pulling just over 4 amps? I just dont want to blow up my face.

You should be good with those, just test it and make sure they don't get warm/hot.
By the way, here is a link to Hoosier E-cig, they state 8C discharge: EH 18650 2000mAh IMR

Odd how many people automatically assume something is "crappy" just because they've never used it before. I've been using the EH 18650 2250mAh (relabeled Pannies according to some folks at the candlepower forum as well as EH themselves) for about 3 months with no issues at all. Also have a few of the EH 2000mah that seem to be holding up well. The 2250mah are 10C...the 2000mah, best as I recall seeing, have a 8C rating....

Aw imr 18650 1600 mah have a 15 c rating not 15 amp. Its 24 amp continuous discharge rating.

Ordering two EH 18650s tomorrow. I will report back to this thread after a week of using them almost exclusively if I can remember to, since this thread already has a good google ranking when searching "ecig EH battery" Hopefully they work well. You can get 2 2000mah EH 18650 batteries for $12 in comparison to the $20 you would spend on the same mah AW branded batteries.

I have had a bad experience with ONE of the EH batteries I have. I had a red button top, & a blue flat top 18350 EH batteries, and the red flat top just stopped charging. I don't believe it was from over-discharge, but it could of been & my memory has pushed that fact out. The BLUE flat top EH battery still works flawlessly & it actually does just as well as any AW 18350 battery. I also have two 18500 EH RED batteries that work fantastically, with no complaints from me. They seem to be on par with any AW battery vape-quality wise. & they have lasted me over a year with minimal use.

I'll report back here after I've used the 18650 EH RED batteries for a week or so.
