Got my new VTR, battery choice?

[Isx15man]

It's got the efest 2000 mah battery that it came with. What's a good choice for a replacement that's got a higher mah rate?
Also does it matter about the amp rating on my VTR?? I've heard sony and Panasonic are a excellent choice.

Thanks

I always use any unprotected IMR flat top battery. Sony and Panasonic are both good. The VTC5 is an excellent choice, as is the AW or the Efest. I've got a button top Efest IMR that is actually too long to use in the VTR, hence the reason I say stay with the flat top. Since your VTR is providing the overcurrent/overdischarge protection, there is no need to use a protected battery which adds to the length.

I have a VTR and use Panasonic NCR18650PF (Li-ion) flat top batteries, last quite a while, they are 2900mAh. I have no complaints with them.

The only batteries that wont fit are the nipple top ones.

The amp rating does not really matter, the chip I hear is limited to 5Amp anyway, so as long as your selected battery can handle that discharge then there should be no worries.

Here is bad's list I would at least make sure it's 10amp plus for your vtr. Possibly the efest or vtc5 or something like that.

Thank you. That link didn't work. It goes to a different page.

I used the same batteries in my VTR and SVD. I get a solid day-day and a half of vaping out of them.

efest makes a 3100mah that will work in the vtr.. Amazon.com: 2 Efest Purple IMR 18650 20A 3100mAh 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Batteries: Electronics

For a VTR you don't need a VTC3, VTC4, VTC5 or a Samsung 25R. You can easily stay within the confines of 10 amps and be ok it's not going to sub ohm or do anything crazy.
I'd go for a 10 amp battery with a high MaH rating for longevity, the Panasonic NCR18650PF mentioned above would work fine, eFest is ok too but remember 3100mah my foot it's a 2500mah LG with an eFest wrapper.

Hmmm.. the '35amp' efest 2500mah is the LG, but this 3100mah is different..

Like has been said above, panasonic ncr18650pf or ncr18650pd are a solid choice for the vtr.

Went to the vape shop and they swapped out my battery for a NCR18650PF . They said it is a 2900 mah battery.

The Panasonic NCR18650PF last 2x as long as most batteries I've tried, even the button top version fits. Great battery.

The purple efest 18650 3100 mah beats the Panasonic.

 

[Isx15man]

I really like the Panasonic NCR18650PF. It last me all day and I vape most of the day and also my VTR battery indicator light never goes past the green level now for vaping all day long at work and home.
Thanks everyone. I think I will look into the purple efest as a back up battery.

I was surprised how much longer the purple efest 18650 3100 mah lasts than the Panasonic.
