With an e-cig that uses a boost circuit like the Vamo, you want to use High Drain batteries, which are safe chemistry.
Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?
- choose the safest and right battery for your applications here. Includes a list of name brand, high-drain, safe-chemistry batteries with mAh & amp ratings in 18350, 18490/18500, and 18650 sizes.

It all depends upon the chemistry the battery.
Unprotected IMR (Li-Mn) batteries are what are recommended for mod use. (These are high-drain, safe-chemistry)
Unprotected ICR or protected Li-ion batteries should never be used. (These are low-drain, not safe-chemistry)
The battery in question (red 2600mah Sanyo) appears to be an unprotected ICR (Li-ion) battery, and should NOT be used in any mod.

the Sony VTC4 and 5 are unprotected, and the most used battery for vaping purposes....
Sony batteries as the most used battery for vaping purposes? I think not; perhaps for sub-ohm purposes that would be true, and they serve only a niche population of the vaping industry. The red AW IMR or red Efest IMR batteries are much more likely to be used for general purpose vaping.
The Sony VTC series of batteries are IMR/hybrid batteries, so they are unprotected, high-drain, safe-chemistry batteries.

there are "2" kinds of protection... chemical ( IMR battery) and circuit protected ( has a small chip on the negative end, and usually ICR type of battery), the circuit protected batteries dont play well with VV/VW units. generally the nomenclature for protected batteries means the ones with the circuit chip installed.....
ok Im wrong about the VTC4 and 5 ,,,, which battery is the most used in vaping as far as 18650's?
The vape shop I frequent sells VTC4's and 5's 80% more than the AW's or Efests.... so thats where my numbers came from....
Perhaps your vape shop caters more to mechanical mod owners who are doing sub-ohm RBA's. I could see the Sony's selling more in that setting.
For typical general purpose vaping with a Vamo, ZMax, SVD, VTR, or Provari using factory-manufacturered coils the AW/Efest IMR's are way more popular. A high amp battery in these devices would be overkill.
This was the prevailing thought process two years ago. Battery technology has come a long way since then. The tables have reversed. The high-drain, safe-chemistry batteries you later recommended are un-protected batteries.
Don't use unproteced or protected ICR Li-ion batteries.
Do use unprotected IMR Li-Mn batteries.

maybe so but the VTC's are what the people walk out with even for the VV/VW units.... its just what they like to own....
The thought process I had always understood was that Li-Mn batteries are still technically protected batteries, just a different kind(chemical) of protection. I guess it would have served for me to be more specific.
