First off thank you so much Jay and Sara for the free GLV. I have been drooling over this mod for quite some time now. Now that I finally own one I am more than impressed. Thank you so much for all your hard work, time, and kindness.

I am going to keep this shirt and sweet. If you own an XL mini you owe it to yourself to pick up a set of these batteries. The 600mAh rating really turned me off of these at first but I am getting a solid 8 hours out of these vaping pretty much non stop.

They are coming off the charger at 5.6 volts and vaping at 5.1 volts under load for the first 15 minutes or so. They drop voltage pretty quickly and go down to 4.8/4.7 under load and stay there for a good 7 hours. After that they start to trail but still produce excellent vapor. I have not fully drained one yet. Once I can feel that vapor start trailing I gave been swapping them.

Www.electronicstix.com

Check them out if. They are well worth it!

WOW...!! I thought the XL Mini's were supposed to be 3.7 units. If you can get 5v out of it then that makes me wonder what full size XL can vape at.

How cool for you and congrats again on your new aquisition. Thats just great of Jay and Sara...!!!
well they normally are used with 3.7v batteries but the OP is using the NiMH mod batteries that are roughly 18650 sized (thinner and slightly shorter) and are 4.8v batteries. They are awesome batteries BTW. I have two of them and they are great. Gotta use a special charger for them though.

The XL Mini is supposed to be a 3.7 unit but madvapes and electronicstix both sell 4.8 volt NIMH batteries. You must use a special charger with them though. The ens one is superior if you want to try them.

These are some killer batteries. They also last a lot longer than the 600mAh rating leads on. I was expecting 4-5 hours per charge but am getting 8 easy. I could probably keep going but I don't want to over discharge these to much.

They fit in the XL mini fine without spacers and don't rattle unless you realllllly shake the thing. There is no rattle in normal use at all.

I believe the XL 5v is regulated unlike the 3.7. The 5v XL uses 2 18650s and it does 5v.

Yeah it uses 2 18650 and is resisted down to 5v. You can use the XL mini as a 5v with an nimh battery.

This might be my new 2nd favorite PV(sorry but I'm a notcigs fan boy :) ).
