Quick question on madvapes VV boxmod and 14650 batts

[RobFindlay]

Does anyone know if you can use the 14650's? I have several already and would rather not have to order up a set of 14500's.

mod in question: Variable Volt Box Mod w/ Voltage Indicator

Sorry if this has been asked before, I just gotta place this order quick before I hop on a plane

No, 650s are to long, it's built in a AA box so you'd need to stick with 14500.

I'm not sure what size the 14650s are, but if they 're any bigger than the 14500s, then I'm pretty sure the answer is no. The 14500s are pretty snug.

agreed....no extra "wiggle room" for longer batteries in the madvapes vv box mod, gotta use the 14500s OR if you're good w/ a build kit (or know someone who is)--order that instead & assemble in your own "box" that is big enough to accommodate 14650s (just a suggestion). I just got a build kit to play with...contemplating making a double 18650 vv mod just for super long battery life....I get about 8 hrs on the 2-14500s"chain vaper" that's my 2 cents, hope it helps

14650 batts are much larger fits in e-power type mods. 14650 batts are same as AA batteries. So no, 14650 will not fit in Madvape's box mod.

The five-digit battery designations (18650, 14500, etc.) are a simple code. First 2 numbers are the battery's diameter (width) in millimeters. Next two are the length (height) in millimeters. I don't know what the fifth digit means.

18650 = 18mm wide, 65mm tall.
14650 = 14mm wide, 65mm tall.
14500 = 14mm wide, 50mm tall.

Diameters of most batteries are usually fairly accurate. Length varies, however, sometimes being a couple millimeters longer than the "official" designation because of the protection chip. IMRs (lithium-manganese chemistry) are usually the "correct" length (because they have no protection chip), while protected Li-Ions (lithium cobalt chemistry) are often slightly longer with a chip. That's why some batteries (usually Ultrafires or Trustfires) don't fit in the battery compartments of certain mods that take 18650s or 14500s.
