Hi this is my first post. I made this account solely to post a reply to a person who cooked 3 18350 batteries in a nitecore i4 charger. I just ordered one and have the box next to me. 18350's are not compatible with that charger. Just 18650 and whatever else is listed on the side of the box. But I can't tell them this information because I can only post here. So. Yeah. Don't charge 18350's in a charger not compatible or your battery will be toast. They don't last that long anyway. I busted open a laptop battery and there were 9 18650's inside. Yay.

You only need 5 posts until you can post in other sections. You could pull that off in a minute or two, of course then you have to wait till the next forum reset, which occurs at :25 after each hour. I don't know that it would be wise to use those batts for vaping, at least not if you don't have the specs. I think i'd pass on them even if I did have the specs.

Welcome and congrats on your vape, um yeah what vacc.vap said. PC don't tend to draw a lot of amps, so would not be a good idea to use them in vape gear, me thins. Getting proper imr or hybrid high drain batteries is always the best solution. Why risk not spending $10 on a proper battery and not risk your face, home or loved ones.

I've been using a couple of them for a week or so. They're 2000 mAH 3.7 volt. I'm not sure what brand they are but they have a blue plastic coating and took a charge. So I gave them a shot. I didn't charge them unless I was monitoring them and all of them worked but one. My vamo doesn't seem to overheat while using it and it charges at a cool temperature. I think the max mAH on a 18650 is 2500 mAH so that should be kosher? What's up with the high drain battery? I don't know what the significance is of them. Thanks for your input.
