Istick pico Mega battery choice made me unsure ..

[caccemannen]

Hello peepz
So, I quit smoking like 13 months ago and have been sucking on EGOs from joyetech, they are straight forward and did the trick since i stopped smoking on day one and never looked back, but i decided to try a sub ohm mod.
So i settled on Istick Pico Mega, it came with the melo 3, but after reading up a bit I decided to order a Smok baby beast tank aswell, the coils are 0.3 on both tanks.

Since the mod can take 2 types of batterys I first ordered a couple of LG HG2 3000mh 30A and then I decided to order 26650s aswell, now here is where im confused, I have found ample recomendations on the HG2s and did my research, but I stupidly ordered the 26650s based on 1 users say so.
( im using a Liitokala lii300 LCD screen charger to properly charge and test the batterys )

The battery in question is a 26650 3.7 V 5000mAh INR 26650-50A with the following stats :

Model : INR 26650-50A
Rated capacity :5000 (mah)
Standard voltage :3.7 (V)
Charging current :2000 (A)
Overall dimensions :26 * 26 * 65 (mm)
Capacity: 5000mAh, 0.5C discharge
Charging current: Standard charge: 0.2C, fast charge: 1.0C
Standard charging method: 0.5C CC (constant current) charging to 4.25V, then CV (constant voltage 4.2V)
charging until the charging current ≤ 0.05C
Maximum charge current: 1C
Maximum discharge current: 1C
Discharge cut-off protection voltage: 2.4V
Charge cut-off protection voltage: 3.6V
Discharge temperature: -20 ° C to + 60 ° C
Charging time: 1-8hrs (standard); 1hrs (fast)
Internal resistance: less than 20mΩ
Charge and discharge times: more than 1000 times
Self-discharge: less than 100uA

After seeing so many cautions about batterys blowing up and being safe I suddenly didnt feel so confident about my choice anymore, so I turn to you good people to set me straight.
Can I use these 26650s safely in a Istick Pico Mega with a Smoke baby beast tank, 0.3 coils at say like 56 watts ?

thank you very much in advance.

Hi and Welcome mate,
No..I'm sorry, that 26650 is NOT suitable for vaping.

"Capacity: 5000mAh, 0.5C discharge"
To convert "C" to amps, Multiply "C" (.5) by the mAh of the cell "5000mAh", results in 2500Ma divide by 1000 and you have a 2.5Amp max discharge for that cell.

Battery mAh & C Rating = amp Calculator

Please select a suitable cell from the "Mooch" list. Please buy from a trusted vendor listed in the BLUE portion at the bottom.

Cheers
I

Welcome to the forum

Sorry you were misinformed about the 26650's but as you see from @Izan post that they are not suitable for vaping.

Thank you Izan & AzPlumber for quick replys, It was wise to follow my instinct and check i see
I ordered the Basen black just now, they seem to be a good choice.
I hope the vendor lets me change the 2x26650 batterys for 2 more HG2s, if not its not a big loss.

thank you again.
