*GEM: A new RTA by MarkBugs

Thanks. I will definitely give it a shot with the battery themselves. I hear you on the bottom cup as adjustment. It is always screwed in all the way with no contact. I have to stick a spring in which I inevitably lose every time I need to change the battery. If you had to glue a contact into place on either the top or bottom where would you do it and when I say "glue" I guess it would be soldering?

I would just order a couple of the batteries mentioned that work without issue, I wouldn't start soldering or gluing anything, definitely don't need to do that

Agreed. I have AW 18650 flat tops and they don't fit. I will try pulling up the top of course but does AW also make them with a nipple and that is what I should be looking for? Those I can find locally. But yeah, I will try a couple of the other ones folks have recommended.

Yeah, I've only ever used the nipple AW.

The VTC4 or LG HE4 will get rid of most of the thread ring or whatever its called, I would shoot for a couple of those. The AW nipples are taller, so the bottom won't screw down nearly as much

I'm gonna go make sure the HG2 fit perfectly real quick too, those are probably the best ones to get right now, 3000mah

^^ I believed AWs only came as button top, didn't they? All my AWs are with nipple, I haven't found any flat-topped AWs yet.

I thought so too???

I have 14500, 18350/490/650 and all are button tops

My 350's and 500's all have nipples.. My AW 650's do not. But I bought them all at the same time so maybe they are fakes?

LG HG2s fit the WAE2 perfectly, bottom cap screws down perfectly.

Illumn or Orbtronics, GOGOGO

20A and 3000mah, oh so nice

I got some 30Qs coming from a GB ($5.20ea, hells yeah)...curious to find out if they wind up fitting the WAE2 also.

It is nice that all the LG batts fit so nicely though, I've been running the HE4s in my WAE2 for a little while now, and the battery cap tightens down exactly where you would want it too [emoji14]

I will have to mail order some of this VTC4 or LG's. For whatever reason all the vape shops where I am sell Efest's with flat tops.

Ginger Vape has LG HG2s, aren't they in NY?

Anyways, I would save a couple bucks and get the HG2s, they have 900mah more capacity then VTC4s, and are $7.99 instead of $10++

I use Purple Efests all the time on my WAEs. The 20A / 3100mAh ones. They perform well.

I would stay away from the protected batteries. Use AW, vtc4/5, lg he2/4, samsung 25r. Any of those will work.

Samsung 25r does not work in the WAE2. The others do.

Best bet today is the LG HG2 3000 mah.

 

[Kruzer00]

I'll try the LG's then. [emoji106]

I shouldn't comment on that because I've taken mine apart and retrofitted a dna 40 large screen. I may have lowered the positive battery contact on the reassembly. My 25r works great in mine.

Haha, yeah...don't tell anyone else to get 25Rs just because they work in yours

Sometimes I forget that mine is special although I really shouldn't.
