Im sorry if this is in the wrong place. Oddly enough this is my first time ever posting on a forum. A while back i bought some cheap ultrafire 18650 batteries that were obviously a lie, stating they were 4000mah but they die quickly. I recently bought the reuleaux rx200 and i have them in there. Ive been vaping at 42w but im wondering is there a danger of them exploding in there from being overworked? Or will it shut off and not let me use them. Any help would be appreciated. Dont feel like losing my face. Thank you!

NO 4000mah 18650 is safe to use in a 200 watt mod.
Yes they could very well vent, possibly very violently.
Get some at least 20 amp CDR rated batteries.

DANGER DANGER DANGER!!!
Do Not Use Ultrafire batteries in Any Vaping device !!
No! You are Not Safe using them!!!!!!!!

Now that I have your attention. I repeat, Do Not Use Ultrafire (or Any "fire") batteries in your vaping device.
If you were building your own and had a 5amp limit, say vaping at 1.5 ohms or Higher, I could see it, and have done it. But we are talking about 8 watts there. Those are IRC batteries made for flashlights. Even then, they may not perform properly. Get them out of your device.
Also, there are no real 4000mAh batteries out there.

one of the #1 rules of vaping, right behind "have backups for your backups" is a law on batteries. NEVER buy batteries from an E-bay dealer of whom you do not personally know &/or TRUST, either completely/personally, or through a 3rd party, like a reviewer on ECF such-as myself. i DO NOT recommend EVER buying batteries from E-bay, although there IS a few reputable battery dealers on Ebay... you simply cannot afford to play the dice when it comes 2 batts. you cannot afford to skimp on the batteries. I skimp on almost everything BUT the batteries.... I buy the cheapest mods I can possibly find. I even buy the cheapest JUICE I can possibly find- in fact, I'm usually vaping on plain-old bulk nicotine, with 3-4% RY4 flavoring added to the mix bottle. As-far as batteries go, I have ALL Efest and AW batteries, other than one Panasonic that I got with a mod-kit a while back. I even skimp on battery CHARGERS!! NOT batteries!
I recommend you ONLY use those batts in regulated mods, and, if you've used them in single battery mods AT-ALL, prior to using them in your RX, then I suggest you stop using them in the RX all-together and rather continue using them in 1-battery regulated mods only. You MUST devote a set of batteries to a mod that uses 3 batteries parallel. You CANNOT/SHOULD-NOT USE batteries that were used in other devices, in your 3 battery mod. u MUST devote a set to your RX 3 battery mod, or, buy two sets of 3 and devote all 6 for use in THAT MOD ONLY! This will prevent any 1 battery from stressing more than the others, this prevents 1 battery from draining faster than the others, etc/cte....
be-caaareful when it comes-to batt-safetyyy!!! It's the ONE, SERIOUS thing, that us vapers actually HAVE TO ABIDE-BY and LISTEN-TO! KK? KK. Have fun, and, ENJOY your vaping journey my man!! Enjoy it!!

with that having been said, I went back and read OP's original post.
I agree completely with SupplyDaddy, when I say that you should-NOT be using Ultrafire Batteries in your mods.
These Ultra-CHEAP, Ultra-Fire batteries simply are-not made for electronic cigarette vaporizer devices.
Your PVs (Personal Vaporizers) are NOT going to perform correctly w/these batts in the battery bays.....
These devices were not TESTED for IRC batteries, they are not made to use IRC batteries, and you need to STOP using IRC batteries.
SOME alternative-chemistry batts ARE okay for use in our devices, but I highly recommend you NOT use unprotected IRC cells.
In-fact, even PROTECTED IRC cells are underpowered for our devices, DESPITE what CHINESE/FOREIGN dealers may TELL YOU!
I recommend you ONLY USE HIGH-DRAIN, IMR-CHEMISTRY, 20 to 40amp BATTERIES, in your personal vaporizers.

Efest??? Never again.
And I do not believe there are an 40 amp CDR 18650 batteries in existence yet.

I'll add, buy batteries from name-brand manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, LG, or Samsung, not "made for vaping"-batteries such as Brillipower, Efest, awt and so forth. There are no made-for-vaping batteries. They are rewrapped name-brand batteries, often from lesser quality batches, that are severely overpriced and overspeced. There are, for example, no batteries rated over 30 amps, and only a couple that can actually do even thirty amps.
20 amp batteries will let you use the RX200 up to 180w. The Samsung 30Q and LG hg2 will give you the most runtime. If you want to use all 200w, get Sony vtc4 or LG hb6. You're battery runtime will be a lot less in that case though.

Indeed. Boycott Efest. They're lying scumbags who endanger their customers. They should not get a single cent from vapers.

the Efest batteries I bought from madvapes YEARS ago, still work flawlessly. I haven't heard of this boycott or that they were lying to us.. in fact, i thought that they were a real benefit to the vape community, i thought they were catering to us on a very personal level, last i checked? NO? I had no idea! I will look into this and most-likely never buy again...
I also have a couple of the EH batteries, which seem to work ALRIGHT, although i did get a DOA EH battery once, in the distant past... Other than these two brands, I only have experience with Panasonic and AW... & I tend to stick with AW when buying new batteries.

Can I ask another quick battery question?
I'm going to get the Wismec RX200, and 6 new Samsung 25r's.
I have a Nitecore 4-bay intellicharger. So when I charge 3 batts at once, two of them will charge slower, being on the same circuit, while the 3rd will be on it's own circuit and charge faster.
Does this mess up the "married batteries" idea? Or am I being over-sensitive?
Thanks!

I will only add that it is incumbent on us all as responsible vapers to at the very least understand how to both identify and purchase safe and appropriate batteries and use them properly. I know it is difficult in this age of the 30 second attention span, but when it comes to purchasing vaping gear, my moto is and always will be: trust no-one -- not even reviewers -- nor folks who make unsubstantiated claims of expertise. (Note the word unsubstantiated, which automatically but not entirely excludes folks like Mooch etc who show their data and methods without exception. Good on them!)
I can't count the number of useless, shoddy devices etc that I have bought over the years, based on a review by some "popular" amateur, only to chuck them in first a drawer, then a few boxes and soon I will need a bloody warehouse for all the rubbish! When it comes to making money, there isn't a single person on this planet that does not have a price for their integrity. That I have many years of experience with directly and can state categorically without reference because deep down you all know it's the truth. But please, please do not take my word for anything either. If you are going to vape, you owe it to yourself and anyone who is near you to use your noggin and git some learnin' about batteries! I am quite honestly alarmed that this is still something that requires saying. Such knowledge should come automatically for anyone who buys a device. It's like running with scissors or playing with matches or poking a fire: don't do it unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Marry each trio like this: 1A,2A,3A/1B,2B,3B
Good choice on the 25R's. I run these in my RX200.
Do not use any battery with the word FIRE in it.

Thanks for the answer, but I do not quite understand the marrying schema you propose.

Sorry to jump in, but label each group of 3 batteries as shown: 1A, 2A, 3A and 1B, 2B, 3B and so on, so you end up with matched sets of 3 for that device. You see?
Do the same with pairs or quad sets for whatever device and you will greatly reduce the risk and get yourself set for identifying any individual battery issues down the line. And I agree, 25Rs are decent cells, but I suggest you read through at least some of the battery forum to understand why. It won't take long and folks will be more than happy to assist you.Again, my apologies for stepping on toes. It was not my intention and I hope you will understand my zeal.

Sorry,I forget to say label them- post New Years Cranial Flatulence. Thank you TrueNorthist.
It's good to see your steady hand still on the tiller of the good ship ECF Classy. I hope you are well and enjoying the world good lady. (Tips hat, then stumbles and falls out the window)Moved to Batteries and Chargers
