So what would a U shaped SbS be called?

a U-SbS


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It all depends on the brand and model of the batteries @bombastinator2. You can buy 3000mAh 18650 and 26650 cells which has the same capacity. You can buy 3000mAh 21700 cells too, now that I think about it. And these 3 examples, they would last the same in a mod. The amp rating would probably be different though.

But what I am using are 2500mAh 18650, 4000mAh 26650 and 4000mAh 21700 cells. Probably typical of most vapers. And since my single 18650 cells are old and tired, they are exactly half of my 26650 and 21700 cells. So that is where my numbers come from.

The problem I have found, is that unless you are really really careful, the MHA capacity is a “claim” rather than a real number and is often grossly inflated to the point that it has lost any real meaning. The only number to pay attention to is the actual tested amount. Which of course is NOT printed. The result is that people tend to pay more attention to model than number, and as a result people will use older chemistries for a long time.

Ah... why it is true some manufactures stretch the truth. Most of them well known and used for vaping are quite accurate. We can see that with @Mooch recommendations. My RC chargers are also deadly accurate. And back in 2015, I purchased two XTAR VC4 and they are still are working beautiful 9 years later. And they are also accurate. Sadly I later purchased XTAR VC4S and VC4SL chargers. Fine chargers, but they only read half of the actual mAh. I speculate they are reading the input current at 9v which would be correct for 9v. Sadly lithium cells are charged to 4.2v, not 9v.

And my old and tired single 18650 are not 2500mAh anymore, but are 2000mAh cells instead.

Might be getting better over time then. At one point, at least, it was nearly random

I haven't seen that to be the case. Huge players like Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, Aspire, etc. weed out cells that doesn't pass the mustard. And they sell off the rejects as scrape. Some unscrupleless buyers will sometimes sell off these as authentic. Maybe this is what you have ran across before.

 

[bombastinator]

The problem is those cells get sold to rewrappers who may just rewrap them as counterfeits. Falls under the “be very careful” caveat.

Is that a squonk?

 

[DPLongo22]

Is that a squonk?

No, sir. It's a side-by-side. VERY highly reputed & regarded.

 

[bombastinator]

One could do a side-by- side squonk, it would just have a smaller bottle. What’s in the bottom of that atty section then? Empty space? One could argue most squonks ARE side by sides.. they just fill the entire side with bottle.

Underneath the atty there is full of a dicodes chip to keep the Limelight running tip top, you don't want to fill that up with juice

 

[ShowMeTwice]

electronics --- an Evolv DNA60 chipset in this case

Empty space?

NO!!!

Is that a squonk?

Nope. See the most excellent video @DPLongo22 posted.

Perhaps it would be helpful if I broke-down the photo I posted.....................

Note: Some mechanical SBS mods DO have some open space beneath where an atty attaches to the mod.

Note 2: The Limelight SBS mod comes with either an Evolv DNA60, DNA60C or a Dicodes BF60 chipset.

One could argue most squonks ARE side by sides..

No, sir.

Simple definition of a SBS mod: A side-by-side is a mod that has the atty sitting "side-by-side" to the battery. The top of an atty, minus the drip tip, usually is "nearly" level with, or at the same height, as the top of the battery cap on a SBS mod.


"That's all Folks!"

Thanks DP!!!

Dejan (and the lovely Maja) are a true delight to work with. Top notch people (and products).

This is my Ennequadro (Italy) v1 Flexy mech SBS.

It's the smallest 18650 SBS that I personally know of... at 72mm in height. There is some "open" space under the 510 connection.

I also have an Ennequadro v2 regulated Flexy w/DNA60 [it has no "open" space below the 510].

 

[ShowMeTwice]

jus' for the fun of it...........

One of my Aspire Mixx SBS's ....BUT.... with an 18350 battery (normally takes an 18650).

So, I guess........ that makes it an "unside-by-side" ( neutered ) mod now, or a UBS mod.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

One could do a side-by- side squonk, it would just have a smaller bottle.

took me a bit......... there already is a mod that can be used as a straight-up SBS or a squonk

BP Mods Tomahawk SBS Squonk mod. There are one or two folks on ECF who have one.

in SBS mode.......

in squonk mode.........

BP Mods does ( ummm, did ) sell the squonk module only (5.5ml). That would work with any SBS mod (or any other mod w/510).

Buy Authentic BP Mods Tomahawk Replacement Squonk Bottle / BF Adapter

The Authentic BP Mods Tomahawk Replacement Squonk Bottle Kit / BF Adapter holds 5.5ml capacity and suitable for BP Mods Tomahawk SBS & Squonk Mod. Suitable for: 3FVAPE Recommend Products:

www.3fvape.com

3Fvape and Health Cabin are OOS, there may be some other online stores that still sell it.

Still.......... not sure why anyone would want a SBS mod that squonks when there are several "rock solid" squonk mods on the market already.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like, for example, my Limelight mech squonker.
