Holy crap-high drain 18650 battery on ggts!

[clyde2801]

Been enjoying my non hv 510 atty on my ggts with a 18650 battery. Nice vape and TH, and now almost three weeks on same atty!

Read post by another okie, and bought one. OMG, this turns my TS into a 3.7 fog machine! Has anyone else tried this?

BTW, I just placed an order for two more....just to make sure you other suckers don't run them out of stock before I need another one!

Expect to see a classified ad very soon for a good deal on some sets of cr123's!

Thanks for posting this. I've been stalking the lighthound site waiting for these to come in stock. Bought two 18650's, two 16340 LiMN 3.7 and two AW 10440. The 18650's will be great in my GGT, GGTS, Chuck, Prodigy V1 and SB/DBSB.

I may have to rent myself out as a fumigator in my spare time....

Really, it's that good? Have you tried it with the i3 atties yet?

No, I have some regular 901's and a couple of i6's...which I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever use.

 

[harpo]

I tried it on all my devices and didn't see any noticeable difference.

 

[clyde2801]

What attys did you use them on?

 

[harpo]

Same as you 510.

DaMulta, on SB sub-forum, had the same experience as you Harpo. It did perform better on the Double Barrel SB due to the bigger draw put on the battery with two atties firing at the same time. You can see at about the 3:50 second mark, the vapor with a single atty on a LiMN battery is about the same as a LiFEP04.

I'm guessing it's due to how much current the atty draws. Harpo, have you tried it with different atomizers? 801,901,510 etc etc? Different atties have different current demands from the battery. I've heard the 510 draws higher current. Can anybody confirm this?

 

[clyde2801]

Don't know what to say, except that I could.

I'll take a freshly charged reg 18650 and compare them again. It seemed to be night and day for me.

Yeah I saw that. I tried it on a 510 and 306 and didn't notice any difference from my other 18650s. I've also heard it might work better on a juicebox so, when I get mine I'll let you know. I might try it on an 801 later but 801s and 3.7 volts is not that good for me.

well clyde if you don't want your I6's send em my way... I like them a lot.

 

[boomboom]

No joke, 801's at 3.7 are bad!!! I too heard about the JB and LiMN working better due to the lower resistance of Carlos' atty design. 2.5 ohm I believe.

I think it's lower than 2.5 ohms. I believe it's 2 or 2.1.

I'm sorry, but I ethically cannot support you in your bid for GG hegemony.

boomboom. Do use the I3 atty on your GGT? If so, how is it? I haven't ordered any yet because I heard great things about other products on here just to be disappointed. Not directed at you OP, like I said before I got them for their C rating. Back to the I3. At $13 which is high for an atty I'd like to hear more opinions.

 

[clyde2801]

My 510 has been heavily vaped daily for almost three weeks now, if that makes any difference.

I LOVE the i3 atties!!

They hit way harder than a standard 901. There is actually TH present, unlike standard 901's. The vapour at 3.7 is comparable to a 510 at 5 volts. I swore, I would never go back to 3.7 volt vaping. But I tried the i3's at 3.7 and love it. I love it so much, I want to buy a Slim now. Thus, the reason I ordered the 10440's from lighthound in preparation for getting a Slim. The i3 at 5 volts is like vaping a standard 901 at 6 volts. They really are good. Haven't popped a single iatty at 3.7/5/6/7.2/7.4 volts since getting them about two weeks ago. I like the DSE atties way better than the RN iatties that Imeo used to make. The old RN's were not durable and always shorting out on me or the silicone ring would come loose and they leaked like crazy.

Check this thread for more opinions on the i3.

Yeah I sent my AFS back. Massive leaking. Waiting on the new one. I haven't used my GGTS in a month waiting on the parts to fix the leakage issues. I destroyed 2 pcb's on 18650s dripping with a 510 so I stopped using it. I like BE112s at 5 volts and higher. They're beast, haven't blown one yet. I guess I'll have to ordered some i3s from Rob. I wanted to wait until he got some i6s back in stock but you convinced me otherwise. Since I don't vape at 7.2/7.4 I'll leave the i7 alone. Don't have the batteries for it anyway.

Edit: I shorted out the two TW atty's in the first 5 min of use. Glad Imeo went with DSE style.

I can confirm that the i3 has helped me use my 18650 again. I was not happy vaping at 3.7 for a long time until I hooked up an i3 in my AFS. Now it is all I want. It hits like a 510 used to on 3.7v for me.

I just ordered one of these new AW 18650s and a 18500 to test this out for myself.

I do know that the 510 does pull more amps than 901s and 801s due to the lower resistance. So this new high drain battery "Should" perform better with a 10C rating.
