High drain batteries, talk to me...

[forcedfuel50]

I'm working on Three different style 18650 mods and i am trying to source the proper 18650 battery. Is there any real advantage to a high drain battery over one of these that i ordered:

AW 18650 Protected 2600 mAh Rechargeable Lithium Battery - New Version

Do we need a 10, 15 or 20 amp discharge rate? Do we need such a gross overage when the atomizers don't draw that much?

Has anyone actually experimented on atomizers with high drain batteries vs. ones like the one i just ordered above?

Your thoughts?

I've used both the battery above and the High Drain and I see absolutely no difference in performance. I can't speak to how long they last because I never let them get totally drained. There are 2 points though. First is that the battery above is not a button top so either you design the mod to use a flat top battery or you'll have to buy magnetic spacers. Secondly, if you are powering say a double atty SB, I'd imagine that the extra discharge rate might be helpful.

i have yet to try these batteries i have heard many different points but i will say i have mostly positive things about these batteries.

But if you do base your mod off these you should sell them with the mod because they run out quickly and can be hard to find these batteries. just a thought

I'll try to make it to also fit the Ultrafires, i mean, those are still a good battery for the money and you can vape a damn long time on them.

But my real concerns are, will a battery such as these vape just as well as say, a 15 amp continuous discharge battery? I think i've read most atomizers are only a couple amps. Seems like overkill.

Mods in triplecate;-) I do imagine they'll take two CR123a's too Not so sure 6v isn't going the way of the dinosaur though with the new low resistance atties coming out?

David please do not design the Mod, for the FLAT TOP BATTS....Cause they are a pain in the ...

I have both types in hand but no mods to try them yet. However I can tell you that there is about a 4mm size difference in length. Hope this helps.

Ok stupid post on my Part.... Should have read it more Carefully.....One thing though Bud... Don't rely on these Low Resistance atty's to quickly.....They are certainly getting a lot of Complaints from ECF Members....Some of the Complaints Include....

Burning out to quickly
User's don't really notice any difference what so ever
Some of the Users even stated that's it's complete Junk
And Even if it does work....Only One supplier as of now carries them
That's Just a few On the Forums I'm sure there's More

A nice sturdy spring can close that gap in Pro/unpro style batts and NO....HV will NOT be goin dino David I LOVE my option of using a reg atty on 3.7v using 18650s and the option of 2 3v batts ...low resistance attys pop faster than a baloon in a dart game so please, keep on doing this mod! Ur KILLING me lol, Ive been waiting for this FOREVER and a day! Im also very excited!!!! I like my mods big, my voltage variable and my attys regular please

I find myself curiously aroused by that...

 

[redrhino]

Yeah Dave these Low resistance attys are NOT what Drew made them out to be at all.....
crashtestjeep is just one post of a bunch, about these attys POOPING so quickly....

I've got both the IMR 18650 1600mAh and Ultrafire 18650 3000mAh and honestly can't tell a difference. The closest difference seems that the IMR performs at peak for as long as the Ultrafire despite the mAh difference. But I can get 2 Ultrafire bats for less than 1 IMR.

Dave here is a LINK to whole Thread about high drain batts it's about 17 pages long But it's defiantly worth reading.....
