I haven't really figured out if the battery size of the mod has anything to do with vapor production and thoat hit, or if it's purely the lenght of battery live before switching.
I assume the cartomizer plays a huge part as well?
Anyhow, let's just compare two models.
My Stealth with a 18350 battery vs a 26650 mod; what would be the difference beside vaping time and less battery changes?
Thanks so much and again, sorry for the novice question, if it's in the wrong thread feel free to move it.
Btw, using a tank now (Thank you Torque :) and it finally works, using a 3 punch whole carto. I had no clue that vaping could be so unproblematic......

PS: One more question. I really look forwars to the new GGPP, but am worried that I won't figure out Penelope. I highly doubt I can make my own coils; did Imeo mentioned some pre-made coils and how would that work (would it just be something you drop in)? Well, I guess worse case scenario I would have to sell Penelope and use Proteus with a tank.
Anyhow, thanks and it's good to be back ......

You should get the same performance out of the same type/brand of battery I believe only the duration should be effected by size. My vape is the same with AW imr 18350 or AW imr 18650. 18350's just don't last as long.

As for coils, just takes some practice to get the hang of it, don't be intimidated. And yes Imeo is supposed to sell pre-made coils in different resistance, but you will have to wrap them around the wick.

O yes you can. It takes a bit of practice, but as quite a few have shared, even their "crummy" coils performed really well. Let's say you REALLY mess up a few during the learning curve...the worst thing is a bit of time and a few cents in materials as you learn and gain experience. In no time you'll do fine. Part of the fun is looking back at our mistakes and laughing at our screwups. A while back I replaced the connector on a GGTS with the new brass one Imeo made and it didn't work. I spent an hour trying to figure out why and suddenly realized I forgot to put in the inner connector parts for contact. How dumb is that? lol

Kinda, but you have to account for the batt's potential output of current as well as how long it will sustain its voltage under load.

Hi Silver! Welcome back, we missed you.

3.7v batteries all charge up to 4.2v which is a sweetspot for many people. Although all 3.7v batteries charge up to 4.2v, the smaller the battery, the quicker the drain from 4.2v down to about 3.2 or 3v when you run out of power and require a charge.

When I run LV (one battery), if I run an 18650, I get 4 or 5 nice vaping hours. If I run 18350, it still vapes nicely for me but I choose to swap out after 2-3 hours because beyond that, i don't get he throat hit I like.

As for Penelope, if its half as good as the Ody, it will be great. I hink Imeo is trying to make his new rebuildable easier to use so the premade coils will be the way to go. Don't underestimate yourself, coil making is just a matter of practice and patience.

Hope all is good and love to Jet!

Thanks Torque, will let Jet know that you said. I think this whole "situation" effected my brain. Gee, I jump from wanting to sell one of my Stealth to both, then freak out again because this will leave me "modless". Well, at least there's the GGPP to look forward to and yes, with a bit of patience (which I still have to learn) I will be able to figure the coil thing out. Thanks again for all your help and concern, you are truly a great man. Have a wonderful weekend.

Dont be skeered its only wire and wick material its not brain surgery at all.... Oh and stop selling off your mods... just knock it off and keep them... Penelope from what I understand will be rebuildable only but proteus will have a 510 connection in other words just a more slender GGTS with VV control.... the P&P is essentially a slender GGTS & Ody short mode....
