Hardest hitting 3.7v Mod?

[Jimi Mack]

I have several 3.7 mods and was looking for input on what you think is the hardest hitting 3.7v mod on it's own. I am not interested at this point in VV mods, not looking to carry too many batteries with me when I am in the field. I go through about 3 14500 batteries from leaving home for work till I get home from work a day.

I am just looking for what you think is the cleanest hardest hit from a 3.7 mod, I like using std 510 cartos. Out of the few mods I am using now, I am noticing that over short amount of time their hiting or punch from the unit gets weaker than when it was new, ever after cleaning and maintenance. Look forward to your input, thank you.

honestly you'll get a cleaner harder hit just from upgrading your batteries to AW LiMN high drains...

lets say you're using 900mAh ultrafire 14500 batteries and a standard joye atty at 2.3Ω...
the atty wants 1.64A.... that battery is only capable of delivering 1.3A max...
so you're overstressing the battery which causes it to degrade over time and you get voltage sag (since the battery is at it's max the voltage has to sag to lower the amp draw to match the max amps that the battery can deliver)

however the AW LiMN high drain 14500 is capable of delivering up to 5A... more than the amp draw you're asking...so no voltage sag...3.7V will hit at 3.7V...it'll hit harder...

think about it a mod is a battery holder... how it hits really isn't going to change from one battery holder to another.... changing the battery WILL change it though...

Try a Phidias with an 18650 battery!

I actually have been trying the AW batteries over the past week and noticed that. I was not really sure if it was the AW batteries or the fact that they were just brand new compared to my month old regular Trustfire 14500 batteries. But I do notice still a difference from Mod to Mod, that being said I know the quality will differ from Mod to Mod as well.

are you talking the black AW Li-Ions or the orangish red AW LiMN high drains?...
if it's the LiMN high drains it's definitely the batteries...they'll give you more of a hit...
as for the differences mod to mod...there may be some minor differneces because of wiring and electronics and switches...me I use all mechanical mods so really there's no difference other than batteries...

I have been using the Black AW for the last week. I also just ordered this morning the AW IMR 600Mah batteries, figuring that is what you were referring to. This will really allow me to compare the batteries and find out the big difference and may allow me to also re-enjoy my Mods.

yes the IMR ones...those are what I'm talking about....huge difference...

comparatively the 900mAh ultrafires are capable of 1.3A max... the 750mAh black AWs Li-Ions are capable of 1.5A max....and the 600mAh AW IMR are capable of 5A max...

so brand new black AWs are just very slightly better... the IMR are worlds apart... the black ones still don't hit the amp draw that your atties are looking for where the IMRs do..
some that only look at mAh may be concerned that they won't last as long but I find that because they do hit harder you end up pressing the button for a shorter amount of time so the overall battery life is pretty much identical

Thanks for steering me down that road. A little less in the mah, is nothing if I am going through 3 regular 14500 in about 12 hours. I am not vaping them empty but once I feel the hit has gotten to week to deal with, I just change them out. Now with the AW IMR, even if I go through 3 batteries in the same amount of time but each hit is just as hard as the 1st, it solves my issue... at the moment. Now I will give the IMR a try at 18650 and see if that improves my mods for that battery.

Sounds like great advise!

I do know that I just asked Kaji/Ryan two days ago which batteries he recommended for his Ali'i 3.7 device, and he also recommended the LiMN batteries, and explained that you'll get the same draw, from the moment you put them into the device until the time they run empty... unlike other batteries, where as the battery starts to lose power, the draw begins to get weaker and weaker.....
