I know nothing

[jayd3000]

Okay here is the thing, I don't know anything about mods. I been using ego simple little device since 2012. But out of the blue I decided to buy the a Kanger 40w KBox. It suppose to be idiot proof. Well they are wrong.

They say I need a 18650 20a battery or higher battery but I bought a EFAN Gold 26650 60a 4200 mag IMR battery is this battery safe for this mod...

Please help me,.....

I don't know anything about that particular mod, but I'm pretty sure it takes 18650 batteries, so if you bought a 26650 battery, it's not going to fit.

You want a batter with a 20 Amp Continuous Discharge Rate(CDR). The most common would be Sony VTC4/VTC5, LG HG2, Samsung 25R, LG HE2 but there are others.

With these batteries the first two digits are the diameter, next two the length, last one is shape.
18mm dia 65mm long and 0 means round.
mah is how long a charge lasts
amps is how much of a load it can take

The battery you got won't work with your mod if it's a 26650. We have a couple good battery experts here (I'm not one of them ) that I'm sure will chime in.

an 18650 LG HG2 would be perfect for that mod.

As you will see when you New Battery Arrive, it's gonna be to Big.

An 18650 Batteries have a Nominal Diameter of 18mm. And a somewhat Standard Length of 65.0mm

An 26650 Batteries have a Nominal Diameter of 26mm. And a somewhat Standard Length of 65.0mm

When they said you should use an 18650 20A or Higher, what they were saying is that you should be Using an 18650 Battery with a Constant Discharge Rate (CDR) of 20 Amps or Higher.

It's the Constant Discharge Rate that is Important. And some Battery Descriptions will say that they are something like 60A (60 Amps). But this is for a Pulse Discharge. And on a e-Cigarette, Pulse Rating are not Meaningful.

Because we Hold Down the Power Button Longer than what an OEM will consider a Pulse.

^^^ That would be a Good 18650 to Use.

Where's @BrotherBob with all his helpful links at? When he posts them up, read them and you will have a much better understanding of what's going on!
Welcome to ECF, it'll be alright!
As others said, the LG HE2's, Samsung 25r's and Sony VCT4/5's. Check out RTDVapor, little more expensive than some, but you know you are getting what you order, not a fake!

Thank you for the information. I'm a old fashion kind of guy. I don't know much about anything technical. When it comes to watts, voltage, ohm's etc. I know what I like and after 4 years of using a ego stick like thing. I want to try something different. And themod I'm buying has two buttons on and off and the watts you are using simple.
Thanks for the info, also maybe in another 4 years I might upgrade.

You've found the right place to ask questions if you ever have any.

If you haven't already, you should consider joining CASAA, the consumer advocacy group for vaping, and help make sure there is something to upgrade to when you're ready in another 4 years.

We've all made mistakes and it's still cheaper than smoking.

Hang on to that 26650 as you may end up with something that needs it some day. Or trade/gift it to someone that can use it.

Or
File the above and just get a Eleaf Istick 40w TC with a built in battery. I non sub ohm so mine is over a year old.

Maybe I will keep the extra battery and do a little give away here. ( If my wife will let me)
And moderators don't care.
