My first mech mod but....

[MysticalNyte]

Greetings everyone!

I ordered a Kamry K100 kit which comes with Kamry generic batteries 18650 and 18350. So I need some advice. I know there are a ton of batteries out there and I'd like to buy better ones but don't know which ones.

I don't plan on sub-ohming, maybe 1-1.5-ish for my coil builds. I have two used black button-top Efest 2250 mAh IMR18650 3.7 Li-Mn batteries that I used for my SVD, which it died and am not using, that I bought from the Classifieds here. Are those any good?

Many thanks in advance for any responses!

I've heard bad things about the battery and charger the k100 kit comes with

Yeah, I searched Google and came up with a post about the generic batteries that come with it and it says to use them "in case of an emergency". So, I'd like to get pointed in the right direction.

Here's a link to a thread, look at baditudes(3rd post) links. He won't steer you wrong.

It depends on what size battery you want to stick with. For 18350 & 18490/18500, all I use are AW IMR. I don't use 18650's, so I can't recomend, but for those there are a whole world of possibilities. I'm currently contemplating ordering some of the new purple Efest. I've read good things about them and it's always good to have a higher amp limit just for the extra safety that it provides, and, as a bonus, usually a higher amp rated battery will have less internal resistance, which means more voltage at your coil!

I've been using the Efest 18650 2000 mAh batteries for months now in my Sigelei 24 and I'm quite happy with them. I have 8 of them that I rotate through my mech and I use a Nitecore charger. No problems, no worries.

I use MNKE, AW, and Sony 18650s

I don't have a mech mod but I use AW 18650s and 18490s in my ProVari.

RTD Vapor is where I get all my AW batteries.

I use Sony 30amp VTC4's in mine because they are an industry leader in battery manufacturing and can handle any load I place on them (I do not go below 0.5ohms). Even if I don't go sub-ohm they provide a great vape for a longer duration of time compared to a pair of Efest batteries that I have tried. You always can't go wrong with the AW's because they are just proven to work. If you get AW's go to www.RTDVapor.com or Fenix Flashlights, Cree LED, Lithium Batteries, Lithium Ion Batteries, Li-Ion Chargers, Leatherman Multitools, Spyderco Knives and more! , I get my Sonys from Illumination Supply, Quality Flashlights and More! which has the new VTC5's with 2600mah as well as the VTC4's and Triangle Vape LLC which has a great price on the VTC4's ($7.00).

^^^^^^^^^^Agree with PhatRon. I have good results with the VTC4s.

The 2250s should be fine for your intended use.
