FT batteries

[Dusif]

Hey all im kinda getting tired of the vapetime of my panasonic batteries, so now i need some new ones BUT... I dont have a clue on what to get so now i need your endless ammount of wisdom to help me find the best batteries on fasttech... Of course since i do like low ohm vaping they gotta be safe at low ohms so the lower ohm they can handle the better... And of course long vape time is a must

I certainly understand if some people wants to sat NOOOOO DONT SUBOHM!... And im not going to... But i want to build a dual coil that hits 1ohm and if one coil breaks without me knowing... I dont want a bomb near my beautiful... Well kinda pretty...
Ok i dont want the ugly mug to get any worse!

seeing how the panasoni and the sony (if still listed) are the strongest batteries they got last time i checked. you may need some mnke or aw's.

so I have to ask what battery and how long are you getting out of them.
i run the 2900's and 3400's on a .8-.9 coil and can get well over a day of steady vaping sometimes 2 when im home I have 2 mods i rotate and i think i change the batteries in them once maybe twice a week now.

But i want to build a dual coil that hits 1ohm and if one coil breaks

its actually the other way. you have to build 2 2ohm coils to get 1 ohm. so if one pops the resistance will actually go back to 2 ohms

Actually, really low ohms (requiring high battery output) and high mAh numbers (long time between charges) don't go together. You can get one or the other. Which Panasonic batteries do you have now? How low do you want to take your ohms?

Congratulations you just managed to make my head spin!... How in the world is that even possible?

And im getting 8 hours... Ish

I have 2 panasonic cgr18650ch

And i basicly want to do 0.7-1.5 but i would like to go even lower if i ever feel like chasing clouds without having to worry about the before mentioned mug

those are pretty good low resistance batteries, but maybe try the aw 1600's they are legendary for their holding times on low resistance.
the sony is rated for 30 amps
and the mnke is considered one of the better low resistance batteries.

sadly none of them are at fasttech they used to have the sony, havent checked in a while though.

 

[dhomes]

Sonys will be restocked mid october

Panasonic cgr18650ch you can get off amazon, 4x for $30 shipped

If you plan on using sub ohm coils in an RBA/RDA, it is extremely important to use the highest quality battery and the correct type. Coils 0.6 ohm or lower requires an IMR battery that has a maximum continuous discharge rate of 15 - 20 amps​. Only a few batteries have this specification. The AW 18650 IMR 1600 mAh, MNKE 18650 IMR 1500 mAh, and Samsung INR18650-20R 2600mAh meet this specification.

You can't have long battery time and still expect to power sub ohms. It's not physically possible. Either one or the other.

Below are the best recommended safe batteries to use in mods. I've listed the maximum continuous discharge rate (amps) for each model of battery. I've also included a link to an automatic Ohms Law calculator so that you may determine if the voltage and resistance coil you plan to use will be a fit for any particular battery. Don't exceed the amps that a battery can produce, and leave a safe margin of error.

Ohm's Law Calculator

AW IMR
18650 2000mah 10A
18650 1600mah 24A

Panasonic ​or Orbtronic hybrid
CGR18650CH (IMR/Li Ion hybrid) 2250mAh 10A
NCR18650PD (high drain-high capacity) 2900mAh 10A

Samsung hybrid (LiNiCoMnP)
INR18650-20R 2000mah 20A

MNKE IMR
IMR18650 1500mah 20A

Sony IMR
us18650v3 IMR 2250mAh 10A

Sony high drain Li Ion (*not protected)
SE US18650VTC3 1600mAh 30

EFEST IMR
18650 2000mah 10A​

* The Sony 30 amp battery suggested in another post is an unprotected li-ion battery, confirmed by a staff member at FastTech.

I've got the same batteries myself and vape anything from 1.2 - 2.4 ohms with them. I'm not a heavy vaper though and usually rotate at least 5 mods at a time. So my pannys can last between 3-5 days.

Coils 0.8 ohm or lower requires an IMR battery that has a maximum continuous discharge rate of 15 - 20 amps

where did you get this from? .8 ohms is only 5 amps


EDIT:
actually i see you said under. not paying attention - yea it would be wise if going in the .6 and lower range to use something with a little more wiggle room

My bad, I'll make some minor corrections.

I had based my cutoff along with PBusardo's cutoff limit of 0.8 ohms being as low as he recommends going with sub ohm vaping with mainstream IMRs.

0.4 ohms @ 4 volts = 10 amps, the limit of the mainstream IMRs. I recommend allowing for some room for any margin of error for a homemade coil.

I still dont understand the need for sub ohm coils if similar (maybe not the same) results can be achieved by micro/nano coils. Plus if I understand correctly - a battery would last longer with a 2ohm micro coil than a 0.5 ohm sub?

Just a heads up. Doesn't seem like FT is the ideal place to buy batteries at the moment. Check the last few pages of this thread:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/430819-fasttech-thread-all-fasttech-posts.html

Some strange mix of shipping issues with batteries, some holiday coming up, and the possibility of a typhoon hitting China. Sounds extreme to me... but don't take my word for it. Haven't read all the details myself.

I agree, china has some mailing regulations, which they are now enforcing and I know many battery shipments are being held up lately for inspection as well.

and did anyone actually read the post? he wants some safety never said anything about subohm vaping LOL

I did. He said this, "Of course since i do like low ohm vaping they gotta be safe at low ohms so the lower ohm they can handle the better..."

Maybe I went overboard and misunderstood his question. Low ohm is not the same as sub ohm.
