Mods and things.

[LuckyLulu]

I have tried a few mods 5v up to 7.4v and found I prefer 3.7v with an LR atty. I am loving the Midi Vapestack from madvapes.
I haven't vaped anything else since I got it and bought another as a back up.

I started reading this thread to learn and see what everyone's advise is. I have no advice, but one thing that might have been overlooked is an explanation about the batteries. The number of the battery is equal to it's dimensions. The first two numbers are the diameter in mm, the second two numbers are the length in mm and the last number is reserved for a decimal pt if needed. (This Applies except with unique named batteries such as CR123A.) Larger battery usually means longer life but also means larger and heavier mod.

You probably already know that the mAh is milliAmp hours. It means that in one hour that is how much milliAmps it CAN use. Actual use time is a factor of how many milliAmps is actually being used. Theoretically, a flashlight using 500 milliAmp bulb and a 1000 mAh battery will last two hours. 1000/500=2.

Sorry the chart didn't work in the forum format so I'll do my best to separate them.

Common name / .capacity.(mAh) / Dimensions Diameter x Length (mm)
18650 (aka 168A) / 2200–3000 mAh / 18 x 65
14500 / 900 mAh / 14 x 50 Same size as AA cell.
10440 / 340 mAh / 10 x 44 Same size as AAA cell.
14250 / 300 mAh / 14 x 25 Same Dia as AA but half the length.

18500 / 1400 mAh / 18 x 50
17670 / 1800 mAh / 17 x 67 2 times the length of a standard CR123A.
17500 / 1100 mAh / 17 x 50 The same size as an A cell, and 1.5 times the length of a CR123A.
14250 / 300 mAh / 14 x 25
10280 / 200 mAh / 10 x 28
10180 / 90 mAh / 10 x 18

RCR123A or 16340
Tenergy 30200 [7] ,
R123,
RCR123A,
RCR123 / 750 / 17 x 34.5 Same size as, and substitute for, CR123 primary lithium for cameras and flashlights. Protected version.

Wow. That is incredibly helpful Hyonlyph ! I know nothing about batteries and it was one of the things I was confused about. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of that! I'm sure I'll be referring back to this when it's time to buy.

It was one of the most confusing things for me. I just recently found the chart online but now I can't find it. I think it was in wikipedia. I'm Glad it was helpful.


edit.... oh... found it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_sizes
