In a moment of weakness i bought a p18650

[MarcC]

Included was 2 Tenergy 3.2v batteries and 2 LifePo4 CR123a 3v batteries, Tenergy LifePo4 charger. What else do i need to make it run the way it was meant to work? I need a few 18650 batteries (what type) for 3.7 but what atty, cartos do i use for the others? I bought it used so i dont expect jawdropping attentiveness but i would like a push in the right direction. I would like to use it with a 3ml tank for around the house,office(advice here is also welcome).

In light of the recent information on a mod with stacked Li-FePo4 exploding and causing serious injury, I would suggest reading this thread.

Since you purchased used batteries and charger, I would recommend checking the condition of the batteries and to check the voltage once fully charged.

Personally, I'm staying away from stacked cells from now on, it seems to increase the chances of problems. Also, now that so many more atomizer/cartomizer options are available for running at 3.7, the increase in voltage just isn't worth the risk to me.

I just ordered a new P+18650 and ordered 2 of the AW 2600 mAh batteries. All the AW batteries I've used seem to be of better quality than the Fire brands of batteries.

I did the same order plus some more batteries for other mods.
Dave will chime in soon bud congrats on the precise!

1. For batteries, AW all the way. If you go to super dave's precise plus page (btw, is it a precise or a plus, OP?) you can see he recommends only AW batteries for the 18650, and the AW 18650 2600mah is officially recommended..

2. For a 3ml tank, I'm a big fan of either the beveled satin finish SS cartomator from nhaler or the ez tank from cigtechs. I prefer 2ohm boge cartos with either. Clouds of Vapor have genuine map tanks still on sale, which looks like they may work with either extra long dual coil cartos or the boge (though you'd probably need extra long drip tips for the later).

3. You didn't buy new, but that's okay. There's no second class citizens on this board. (Except to say there's Snork, and everybody else!) Welcome.

A moment of weakness?More like a moment of clarity!

I'm with the Pig on this one!

As far as the 18650 battery, go with the AW 2600mah, it outperforms the "bigger" 2900 and 3100mah versions. As far as a charger, the inexpensive Tr001 always serves me well.

It is a nonplus 18650. Thanks everyone, will order a couple aw 2600. Still not sure about the batteries that are included though...
