Making my first mod, please help

[saltysharktoes]

Is there any good way to remove the 510 connector from a battery? Just ruined one battery/connector trying to do it, going to order connectors - but in the mean time would love to snag one off the old stupid battery i have laying around. Also whats the difference between using the Ni vs Li batteries?

mod is based off a puck.

Are you taking the connection from old pen style batt?
If so I also just screwed on and old Atty or carto and put the batt side in a vise and wiggle the carto until it comes free sometime you have to grab the carto with some pliers so make sure it's one you don't like or use ..
Try that and if dosent work for you I'm sure someone else will chime in with another idea

Do you mean the difference between NiMH and Li-Ion?

The number one difference is safety. NiMH batteries don't burst into flames spewing super heated gasses and electrolyte if shorted or over-charged. They can still get burning hot though. Another big difference is you need 4 NiMH cells in series versus one Li-Ion cell individually to obtain the voltage required for an atomizer.

Here's some specifics;

Nominal voltage for a Li-Ion cell is 3.7V. Nominal voltage for a NiMH cell is 1.2V

Comparing AA size cells (that would be 14500 for Li-Ion), charge capacity is around 2200mAh for a NiMH cell and 750mAh for a Li-Ion cell

In terms of power, that's 2640mWh for the NiMH cell and 2775mWh for the Li-Ion cell.

Internal cell resistance for a AA NiMH is around 150mΩ. Internal cell resistance for an ICR 14500 is around 50mΩ.

When using 4 NiMH cells in series, total battery resistance is around 600mΩ compared to 50mΩ for a Li-Ion. An extra cell is required to compensate for the much higher resistance so 4 NiMH cells are required in an e-cig mod instead of 3.

The lower cell resistance of the Li-Ion results in less wasted power and much more efficient power delivery. Even though Watt-hours are close between the two, the NiMH burns more of that up internally so, Watt-hour for Watt-hour, you get significantly better run time with the Li-Ion.
