Protected to unprotected battery conversation - help needed

[watervapour]

Hi all,

I have mistakenly purchased a protected 18650 battery which is not comparable with my device. Ive googled some videos showing methods of conversation by removing the protection circuit board. May i ask some experts here whether it is safe to do so?

Thanks in advance..

Dude there a thread on this.

There is a potential danger by doing this... Especially if you are using it on a mech mod... Worst case it might just explode in your face while vaping if theres some kind of short or .....

Just spend the dough and get a new batt.

Never ever attempt to convert a ICR to unprotected. You may end up blowing your lips and fingers. These do not have the same composition with IMRs.

Remember the MRT phone charger fire? High chance it is using non-protected ICR and the circuitry of the charger failed.

I have not try anything cause as what i know is, Provari recommend to use AW IMR Battery.

So i want to know which battery is the same or better than AW IMR.

Sony VTC5s are the best out there right now. A quick google for local shops will tell you where to buy.

Sony vtc5 and LG he2 (and the purple 35a Efest, the same battery as the LG) are probably the best ones right now. Great voltage curves, high amp ratings (30 vs 20a), low internal resistance, and safe chemistry. Not sure if they come in nipple top variants though.

Yup, but just to clarify, the Efest 35A limit is PULSED discharge vs VTC5's continuous discharge. Both will be more than sufficient for all but the most extreme subohm builds.

Well Bro, Provari recommends AW because of the nipple head. IMO any IMR nipple head cells would work well on Provari.

Sony VTCs are great however it won't work on Provari unless you got the adaptor IIRC.

Yes, the LG/"35a" Efest is 20 amps continuous, but as you say it's more than sufficient for most builds. I myself wouldn't feel comfortable doing a build that would require a 30a battery (though higher amp rating is always a good thing, if for example the mod starts to auto-fire)

Hmm, i was confuse by them cause they recommends AW cause they said they tried out lot of battery and this work the best from their website.

So i at least want to know which battery i can get from local if my AW ever die on me.

any good battery to recommend ? currently using 2400 mah 18650 , can only last 3/4 of a day

Efest purple or Sony VTC5. Efest purple is available in nipple or flat top. Sony VTC5 has a worldwide shortage now. Grab them while you can.

Are they both good enough to use on provari?

Efest purple and sony vtc 5 are THE best batteries at the moment.
