I saw what you wrote in the GLV thread, that was nice.:)

This needs to be at least 75% as sturdy as my GLV has been for me, between dropping, pocketing, and heavy use, its been an unfailing workhorse -- I know that this is a different type of use but since I'm a veg I need durability!!!!:)

Shadow-
What size/type batteries are you planning to run on? Are IMR's in order?

You're killing me Jim... lol :)

As I stated previously the device will use one (1) AW BRAND 18650.
The standard black (2400mAh) or orange IMR (1600mAh) cell.

I will ONLY recommend the AW cells. They have a proven track record and quality control.
THeir response and performance graphs clearly show their superiority as well.
Their protection circuits typically work as intended with low failure rates.
THe IMR cells are a "safer" chemistry cell that aong with higher C ratings, provide some additional peace of mind.

Does this answer the question?

Shadow cut him some slack. He's just excited and want's to keep this thread on the front page of ECF. Hurry up you're killing all of us here.

I know Pete, I was just messin in a lighthearted fashion. :)

You guys are great. I just seriously wanted to be sure I had answered his question.
It was an excellent question that others may also want the answer to.
But our little thread has grown a little so it is good to keep the info topside.

Sorry-thought I remembered something but I did a thread search on "batteries" on the thread and it didn't come up...it will now ;-)....

Just asking cause I'm putting in an order to AW... you might want to look at the redilast 2900 too- but they come in at 68.5+ mm..
.. you're preaching to the choir on batteries/chargers and safety....don't get me started on that subject...

Provide me a link so that I can check out that cell and I would be happy to explore it.
I would also be curious to know if it (like the AW) is a rebranded Panasonic. They seem to be the best out there.
Higher mAh ratings are nice, but the C rating is the most important factor here. If it can not tolerate transient surges in a specific window, it will be useless.

Sorry, I hope that made sense. (It does in my head ;) LOL )

you made perfect sense... it is indeed the same internal Panasonic NCR18650- not rebranded, they have different PCBs and different detail in the wrapping and shock protection.

Redilast being made with a slightly more impressive anode contact using a rubber seal where AW used plastic.

EDIT: Gave wrong link first time

Redilast running a bit longer on the bottom end, probably related to cut off circuit....
Review/Comparison of AW vs Redilast.


The Redilast looks to be a bit sturdier than the AW....

The guys over at CPF haven't said anything negative about them yet. If they aren't better they appear to be at least equal to the AWs in quality.

And in case you were worried about discharge down to 2.5V....

FWIW- high transient spikes (depending on how long) may make IMR the way to go...

Not up to speed on all batt tech, how does IMR AW compare to Redilast? For amps and safety for vaping? In VV and regulated 5V mods, had been using AW ICR: AW RCR123a Protected 750 mAh Battery

Then tried the AW IMR version (red) with only 550 mah but seems to give a much nicer hit. Would you be willing to provide a brief "layman's" explanation and also how it impacts the 18650 as well?

T.I.A.

briefly: you are probably exceeding the Protected RCR123's current rating and getting some current limiting from the protection circuit. The IMR can deliver more current. The same could apply with the 18650 if the spike causes the current draw to clip or shut off the current.
Here's a thougough explaination of battery types.

ADD: after you read that the IMRs are safe chemistry whereas the Redilasts are protected lithium Ion....
