Nice Set Up!
Blu you've gotta post your trippy tips and matching GLV. You've got some nice gear.
The outside ones are the Touchwoods. The Grip is a regular VV power Grip. I don't have the Lava Grip....yet.
Thanks Huffel - got new tips and GLV today ... you saw "Baby-O"? Still waiting on my black and gold ....
1.) Am I right in thinking that all 18650's are 3.7v? Don't you need something higher to run a variable voltage mod that goes up to 6v? Please excuse my noob questions by the way!
2.) Would that mod work with AW 18650 3.7v 1600mah batteries? Is the mAh too low? If you wanted to run it at 3.7v, would you suggest Boge 2.0 LR cartomizers? What made you choose Boge 3.0ohm cartomizers?
18650 are 3.7v. VV can work in one of 2 ways: stepping up the voltage or stepping down the voltage. The former use 1 battery (e.g. the Provari), stepping up at the expense of longevity. The latter generally use 2 batteries in series. 3.7v + 3.7v = 7.4v, which is then stepped down.
There is no such thing as "mAh too low" to work... lower mAh just means just shorter life. AW are more honest about their ratings than some brands, though.
Typically, IMRs aren't really necessary in the 18650 size (unlike smaller sizes, where only high drain are sufficient), especially when there are 2 of them. A pair of ICR 3100's would last for days!
Using higher ohm cartomizers like a 3 ohm will increase your range w/ vv equipment.
True story. My aw icr 3100 lasts me a solid 2 days even with lr dcc's.
This is my rough stack and I really like it but I'm getting the itch for a provari.
cba, which Touchwood do you like more the Mini or the 18650 ??I have a Lava without a home.That should be remedied shortly though.
I like the mini more, because of the size. That may change when I get a kick for the 18650. I LOVE VV!
erich, I am grateful for your answering my questions, especially since you wrote it in a way that a noob like me could understand! I would have responded to your post earlier but I missed your post! Thank you!!
andyman97 - Thank you for sharing that info with me!! I really like the rough stacks but you know what they say, "Happiness is a Provari!" Just kidding, I made that up!
But they are awesome!!!
My new PV. . . loving it!!
ego E-power 18650 replacing my faithful but tired 510-T.

I just put up a pretty lengthy review of The Alpha in the Mods reviews section.

Here's the problem with using that high of a mah rating...they won't fit every VV mod on the market. The higher the mah is, most of the time, also means the longer the battery in terms of length.
Not necessarily true depending on the C ratting. Too low of mAh with a low C ratting means it will not put out enough amps to fire an atomiser well. You have to also consider how many amps the battery is capable of supplying and that is why the high drain batteries are popular for the smaller form factor batteries but aren't always necessary at the 18650 size depending on the C ratting of the battery.
My flawed understanding is that the C ratting is relative to the internal resistance of the battery and other factors in the way the cell is constructed.
This is definitely not a professional opinion but just from information from my limited research =]
Edit:
Good reason to shy away from generic or low quality batteries. That's why I use "Dangerous" Unprotected high C 18650 batteries. I just hope one of them doesn't blow up on me one day. Not a recommended practice especially in a multi battery configuration.
