Is 3400ahms 18650 battery OK for Vamo and itaste Mod?

[deboraht]

Hi all,
I need to get some more batteries, the highest ahm I use is a 2400, 3.7 volt flat top.

I have lower ahm ones and they run out fast.

I have seen some that go up to 3400 - 4000

What is the limit if there is one?

Thanks in advance

For regulated devices like the Vamo and iTaste you're better off using an IMR or Hybrid that has at least a 10A max discharge rate. The AW IMR18650 2000mAh and the Panasonic NCR18650PD 2900mAh both have a 10A rate and are probably the best choice. The Panasonic NCR18650B is only rated at 6.8A, which is below most VV or VW device recommendations, the protected batteries only have a 5.8A or less rating.

Thanks a bunch!
The Panasonic NCR18650PD 2900mAh sounds good. (Not that I have the vaguest idea what "IMR or Hybrid" mean)
And whoops got the letters around the wrong way.

Don't worry, I didn't understand half of what was here when I started, I've just been around long enough to learn, just stick with it and you'll be fine.

Vamo will not even fire with some protected style batteries! They turn on and the second you hit the button to vape it powers down. I love AW and most manufactures recommend them so they must be doing something right.gl rmw
