Hello all. New member here. Just read the article on batteries and learnt alot.

Recently got into vaping and am absolutely loving it. So the one thing i learnt from the above read was to never use an ICR 18650 battery for vaping. Am I correct in saying that.

Hi and welcome. Yes you are. ICR batteries are not for vaping. Use IMR batteries instead.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Jimbobjones. Glad to have you here!

Yes, that is correct. ICR batteries are not "safe chemistry", "high drain" cells. And their CDR (continuous discharge rating) is very low.

Sounds like you read one of @Baditude's blog posts.
