HATE when that happens.I picked up a samsung icr18650 for my bolt, and discovered it's li-ion
I guess I'll have to try to return it monday. They told me it had a manufacture warranty, but nothing about exchange. I asked if it was a high drain IMR, they said "yep".

Trust me... If that is the Worse purchase you make in your Journey on the e-Cigarette road, you are doing fine.
If it was me, I would turn the Situation around and use it as an Excuse to buy an 18650 Cree Flashlight. But then again, I like buying Gadgets.
Yeah, I bought the wrong batteries and ended up with a new device, too...lol
Some of us are just back asswards.
Does the battery have any lettering on it? Does it say ICR or INR on it? What color?
The below Samsung batteries are hybrid batteries that are "high drain" and unprotected "safe chemistry. These would be fine for your mod:
Samsung hybrid
INR18650-22P 2200mAh 10 Amp (teal jacket)
INR18650-20R 2000mah 22A Amp (teal jacket)

The Samsung ICR18650-26F 2600mAh is an Li-ion battery that is not high drain (purple jacket).
The Samsung ICR18650-24E 2400mAh is also a Li-ion battery not high drain (blue jacket).

It's the ICR18650-26f. the purple jacket. I took out of the box, read closer, and put it back in the box. Didn't even make it to the intelicharge. I was thinking it was the INR, but it was not.
Doh, been there done that till Bad set me straight
He's the reason that it never made it to the charger.
That batt has decent specs in the 2 to 3 amp range; there are a lot of worse choices. If you do go to the Cree flashlight route I would consider zoom because the waterproof models don't have any open vent relief holes. The cree flashlight I ordered is 2.6 amp FWIR.
Or you can see the glass as half full and have a excuse to buy a mod that the bats will work in.
Except the only one I can think of is an evic. Don't need another large mod. Or do I...
Very true. We all really only NEED evod's and ego's. Everything else is a want.
However, I do have some credit at a store that sells Provaris, And they got iHybrids in... This upcoming exchange may land me on the sofa. Oh well, at least the living room tv is bigger.
Need is subjective. Its a term people like to throw around to make others feel guilty. I say rise up mod buyers of ECF break the shackles of tyranny. Cast need aside and buy buy buy!!!!!!!
I'm waiting for an iHybrid that knocks my socks off again. I haven't been bowled over by recent offerings. The next one coming up, perhaps?
They got the new iHybrid pure in. It's pretty tempting. It's a nice looking device.
it looks so classy. If you order it, I recommend getting it here, and also getting some Varilla juice
Ihybrid Pure
