Need 18650 recommendation

[Surfer369]

I order from imr batteiries and it’s been almost 7 days and I haven’t received it. I have mod and tank that i can’t use because no battery.

I want to order a battery from my vapor store or gianvapes. I am hoping that I will get it in 2-3 days.

I ordered the lg battery and these two stores don’t have it. They have samsun and Sony battieres which should I order. My local vape store has it for a whopping $12.

I'd stick with the known reliable vendors on Mooch's trusted vendor list for cells.

IMR didn't provide any tracking info on your order?

They did and it was estimated as sept 12th and I reached out to them and they said they don’t have any updates the usps ground is anywhere between 5-12 days.

Looks like I bought it from the right place. Just getting impatient, will be using with a uwell nanchuku mod.

I guess I will wait a few more day.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Uwell nanchuka is an 80w capable single cell regulated power device, without knowing your intended power range best to use a 25a CDR cell.

20a CDR up to 60w.
25a CDR will be good up to about 75w.

Or use 30a CDR cell if you intend on using full power range consistently. .

Steered towards LG HG2 and Samsung 30Q. Beginner foolproof batteries will go a long way.

The LG HG2 can be used in a single battery mod up to 60 watts. Very good battery when used for the right application. To vape at a higher wattage setting than 60 watts will require higher amp batteries.

Samsung 20S 18650 2000mAh 30A Battery

This is rated more 20A by Mooch... And he'll be missing the extra 1000 mAh.

Say what? ---> Bench Test Results: Samsung 20S 18650...hardest hitting 18650 right now, beats HB6 and VTC6A

 

[Baditude]

Choosing the right battery should be based upon the application that it will be used. It's always a seesaw debate between the most amps needed and the most capacity (mAh) desired. You won't find both in a single battery.

Sorry, confused with the 20Q Bench Test Results: Samsung 20Q 2000mAh 18650...15A battery, do not confuse with Samsung 20R or 20S
Nevertheless it's an overkill for a person with an 80w regulated mod.

Well, if going for the full 80w a 30 amp battery is the best choice.

Looks like they already ordered, but I'll toss this out just in case somebody else looks through this thread later. The Samsung 25S is a great cell. It is 25A, and runs better than the highly regarded Sony VTC5A. Well worth tracking down.

I too had issues with IMRbatteries having very slow shipping times. So much so that I stopped ordering there. One of my orders I had to wait a week for it to just ship out, and everything I ordered was in stock. I started using 18650batterystore (which is also mooch approved vendor). Better prices and much faster shipping times. I'll never order from IMR again.

I've been lucky with IMRbatteries.com but I think they're near to my general location and no, they don't always have the best prices.

Honestly, the LG battery you speak of is excellent.... Unless you want to use it in high drain applications (which it sounds like you may) so in that case, you'd be better off going with a higher capacity battery.

Good luck I hope something usable arrives soon.

He was speaking of using it with a Nunchaku kit, more than plenty! Heads are about .4 ohms, vaping that at 40W should be enough.
I steered him to IMR batteries because he wanted a reliable site in the US. Agreed, not the cheapest, but quite reliable. He won't be sold knockoffs.

Your geological location should have no effect on processing time, only shipping speed. My last 3 orders from IMR were all very slow to process. With 18650batterystore my order is processed and shipped the same day, or the next day depending on when I place the order.
