It's been forever...need a new battery

Hi. It's been a while since I've been here. I haven't had a need for anything, vape wise, in quite a while. But now I need to replace my aw 18490 batteries, and I just saw a thread saying the aw factory was destroyed. So apparently I need a new suggestion.

I need something safe as I'm using Reo mini. Can someone suggest a brand please?

 

Hopefully. It was very disappointing to learn that the aw 18490s were no longer being made since these were really good batteries for that brand, performance wise. Hopefully someone will suggest another that they have faith in. No t really interested in blowing my face off with my mech and a crap battery.

 

Ok...so I've also been looking at alternatives and have learned many things, most not pleasant. First, Reo Mods has closed down. This was really sad news. Second, I also checked about efest 16500s and I can't seem to find a source with these in stock. I don't like these as an alternative, but I read that they are the only brand making this size. If that's inaccurate then hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

 

Hm, I normally build a 1.7 coil, so I'm not sure if that's high ohm per se, but not sub ohm.

 

I use a Reo so...can a person use an rta with a reo? An rda is what I use, specifically a single coil.

Man, I totally feel like a newbie again lol.

 

That's what I expected after reading a conversation in a different thread on this subject.

 

Ok, so as an alternative I'm considering the vandy vape pulse x (not sure if there's multiple versions but the one I'm looking at is 80w). I know it takes an 18650 battery, but how do I know if it needs a button top or flat? it didn't say i the specs and I can't seem to find that info.

edit, ok so no it isn't the 80w one (i was confused as I had that one on another tab). It says fully mechanical, so I guess that to mean exactly that. Still unsure on whether it needs button or flat top batteries.

 

Thank you. I don't know if you saw my post after I just edited it. But the one I was actually looking at said fully mechanical. So then I take that to mean unregulated. Is this accurate? I have read that some that are calling themselves fully mechanical do have some regulation, but it's not controlled by the user. Anyway, The battery information you mentioned would work with this model too I guess. Correct?

 

thanks

 

thank you guys so much for the helpful info. I picked up another mod today and I'm also looking at getting a regulated something squonky (so many products to check out) so I can have one of those too. I did get the efests, though I'm not confident about those. I may also get the keeppower and see how they do. I love my Reo and don't want to stop using it for lack of batteries. Oh the irony, my mod can survive being run over by a vehicle, but still can't work because there's no batteries for it. Totally silly. I'm just happy there are some reasonable alternatives to consider (though likely not as durable. hopefully that won't have to be tested). Most appreciated everyone.
