Ok, don't laugh, I just dont get it yet :)

[Bella Chic]

Ok, so, I've been using the eGo and the Riva for almost a year now and will be getting a battery mod very very soon. I have questions about different batteries and there life. For example, I get a fulls day use, plus some from my eGos and Rivas and they arn't the super high mahs that they have out now 'n days. Got them both with they first came out and they are still doing just fine. Here are the batteries I am wondering about...

1634
18650
10440

If I can get a full days use out of my eGos and my Rivas which of these battery types should I use? If there are any other choices out there that would be better you can go ahead and chime in on those battery types too if you want to. I just don't know anything about the battery mods yet and would really like to know. I don't like to have to charge and change out batteries constantly so that is why I got the eGo and the Riva for just that purpose and they have done me well and I need batteries for mods that will give me the same result. I know I want to get the Infinity when it come out (can't remember the battery it takes) and I really like the Precise mods too. Thanks so much for reading all of this and helping me out.

How about a 14500 at 900 mah? This should give you about 30% more power than your eGo which is probably around 600 mah and still give you a nice size mod. The 18650 at 2400-3000 mah (if your getting a day plus out of your eGo at 650 mah) will last you several days but these things are fairly large and the mod required to house them might not appeal to you.

 

[Bella Chic]

Thanks Rockproof Ya, I don't want a huge mod so thank you for letting me know about the size with the 18650. The smaller the size of the mod the more comfortable it will be for me. I have small hands any way. I like the Infinity because is sleek and simple and I'm a sleek simple type of gal. 14500 sounds good to me, I'll have to look around at the battery mods types that take that battery. Thank you for your help

 

[Rockproof]

Let me know what you go with. Yes, I must agree, you certainly look sweet...but girls that look that sweet are rarely simple

 

[Bella Chic]

LOL. I am pretty simple. I don't like wearing makeup, but I do like my hair to looks nice and do pamper my skin, but other than that I'm as simple as they come...the great outdoors are my favorite so I'd rather play then paint my face lol. And I said sleek not sweet, hehe, thank you for the compliment.

 

[Bella Chic]

I just googled 10440 900mah batteries to see if there was such a thing and there are. I wondering if they are the same size and if they will work in battery mods that take 10440 batteries...hmmmmm

 

[Rockproof]

Let me check. What we want to look for is mah.

 

[Bella Chic]

OK cool, thank you very much

 

[Rockproof]

Looks like the 10440 will give you 500 - 600 mah. This is probably about the same (or maybe less than your eGo). What is your price range for your first mod? We can then start looking at some options for a 14500 if thats the way you want to go. Btw, a 14500 batt is the same size as a standard AA battery (to give you an idea of how large the mod might be...pretty small eh).

 

[Rockproof]

Check out some threads in ECF. Just Google -"Best 14500 Mod" or "Best 16340 mod" ...plenty of old posts you can search through. Let me know what you think after the research and I'll give you my $.02

 

[Bella Chic]

Ok, will do and I thank you very much for your help. When I googled the 10440 I googled it as 10440 900mah and a few sites came up, thats what it looked like though. I didn't click on any sites it just said they carried them so who knows. I'm just so new to the battery mods that I don't know dittily lol

 

[RedAlert]

I'd stay clear of the 10440 batteries. They may be listed as 500 mah, but are probably closer to 300...tops. They are small, so the size of the mod will be also. You might want to look at something that takes a 16340. You can get those in higher mah ranges(I always reccomend AW batteries, they are higher quality), the AW being 750 mah, so expect about 1 hour more run time than your ego.

As for a mod, YOU would need something that works great and looks as nice as the user ( had to insert the shameless compliment there ) My reccomendations to fit the bill. P16 from superT, or when Jay finally finishes it, the new GLV mini2. Both are/will be made in stainless, so they will have the looks and durability. A woman always looks great with someting shiny on/in her hand.

[Bella Chic]

Hey RedAlert...y'all are makin me blush with the sweet compliments Thank you! I do like the P16, wish it had a tapered top instead of the flat top though, but that's not anything that would deffer me from it cause it's so darn pretty. I will stay with the AW batteries then, since they are better and have more run time. I saw the GLV Super Mini and thought it was just to cute, lol. I know I'm going to get the Infinity, but maybe I can get me something before that comes out. I know most everything I like has a wait time, I'm just confused with battery stuff and what to be able to have a battery that will last me as long as my eGo's and Riva's do Thank y'all for helping me understand all this battery stuff.

Small hands? Big battery life? MOD!!!! Sorry, system overload. I just made a box mod from Madvapes-510 kit. The box dimensions are 2 5/8" tall, 11/16" deep and 1 5/16" wide! Btw, it contains a 900 mAH batt.

 

[Bella Chic]

For some reason the box mods just don't do it for me. I like the rounded, tube mods (I know, that's what she said). The box mods just have not appealed to me, otherwise I would go that route...maybe I'm not as simple as I thought, lmao! Thanks though, I really appreciate your input!

 

[Bella Chic]

Well thus far, other than the Infinity I'm going to get when they are ready, I like the P16, even thought I really love the P10, there just isn't a long enough lasting 10440 battery out there I guess, wish it would last as long as my eGo/Riva batteries cause I would be all over that one and I really like the GLV Super Mini too, it's just to cute. You would figure, with all the technology we have they could make a tiny battery be more powerful and last long while still being rechargeable, but that's life I suppose. If there are any other suggestions on something sleek, small and sexy like the PV's I've listed above just let me know or any other small batteries that we are talking about for that matter

The series of numbers used to describe the cell is actually directly defining the size of the cell...

10440 = 10mm x 44mm, The "0" on the end usually just means that it is "cylindrical."

-----------------------------

08400: Same dimensions as a AAAA cell.

Found in small form factor ecigs (the 9mm diameter jobs). Convenient size... Poor battery life (~150mAH). Plan on lots of charging options and owning multiples. Check with manufacture of ecig to make sure they are using safe chemistry cells before purchase.

-----------------------------

10440: same dimensions as a AAA cell.

Any 3.7V 10440 with a label rating higher than ~300mAH should be laughed at, pointed at, and made fun of. The purchasing of any such cells with ridiculous claims only encourages the continued practice of blatant lies in the industry. Do not support it.

Searching around the net for cells of this size may reveal many possible results in a 3.7V cell, the problem is that the only cells in this size that would be safe for use in an ecig would be LiMn (IMR) or LiFePO4 chemistry. Do not use Lithium Cobalt chemistry cells in this size to drive an ecig, the load is far beyond the maximum safe discharge rate for those cells.

-----------------------------

14500: same dimensions as a AA cell.

Any 3.7V 14500 with a label rating higher than ~750mAH should be laughed at, pointed at, and made fun of. The purchasing of any such cells with ridiculous claims only encourages the continued practice of blatant lies in the industry. Do not support it.

In this cell size, with most normal atty's the current draw is technically still on the high side for safety. I would suggest looking into LiMn (IMR) chemistry cells for this cell size for use in ecigs. The performance will be more consistent and the cycle life and safety will be much higher. AW sells very honestly rated IMR (red label) cells in this size. Check them out!

-----------------------------

16340: same dimensions as a CR123 cell.

Any 3.7V 16340 with a label rating higher than ~650mAH should be laughed at, pointed at, and made fun of. The purchasing of any such cells with ridiculous claims only encourages the continued practice of blatant lies in the industry. Do not support it. (Even AW has his cells over-rated here by too large a margin, I like most AW cells, but his black label protected RCR123s are mediocre in capacity and performance, most of the other cells he has sold over the years have been much better).

Basically this cell size is on that same barrier of safe operation as a 14500 for the regular LiCo chemistry stuff. LiMn (IMR) chemistry would result in much better performance. AW also sells an honestly rated IMR (red label) cell in this size!


------------------------------

17500: Same length as a AA, roughly same diameter as a CR123. imagine a CR123 x 1.5X the length.

Good quality Lithium Cobalt protected in this size can safely handle even low resistance atomizers (down to ~1.8Ohm). AW brand 17500s have a label rating of 1100mAH and routinely test out HIGHER than that label rating at more normal discharge rates. IMR chemistry may be available from some sources but are not necessary at this cell size. I wish more battery mods took advantage of this size, it would be a great balance of size and capacity.

-------------------------------

18500: Same length as a AA, 18.5mm diameter (~2mm thicker than a CR123)

Typical capacity of LiCo in this size is around 1400-1500mAH. Plenty of oomf to run ecigs safely.

-------------------------------

17670: length and diameter roughly equal to 2xCR123 cells stacked in series.

Typical capacity of LiCo in this size is around 1500-1600mAH. Plenty of oomf to run ecigs safely.

-------------------------------

18650: Length of 2xCR123s end to end, 2mm thicker.

True capacity varies from 2000-3000mAH. Don't trust "3000mAH" claims from brands like ultra-stupid-fire and stuff. Higher capacity doesn't always mean better performance in an ecig application.

-------------------------------

Cell quality and charger quality is very important for both safety and over-all user satisfaction. A protection circuit is not likely to prevent the type of safety issue that can arise as a result of a poorly made charger or cell.
