Recommended Batteries for 3.7v and 7.4v with GGTS?

[kenmhall1]

What batteries are recommended with the GGTS for 3.7v and 7.4v vaping? I'd prefer protected...but I guess it will really depend on price for now...I will (hopefully) be purchasing my GGTS and AVS this next week, so I'll already be out a good chunk of change - plus some high voltage atties - so I'd rather skimp on batteries now and get better ones later ('cause I'm going to need a charger, too)

thanks

I use 18650 for 3.7 and 2 cr2 for 6V

all of them are cheap on DX and free shipping

 

[kenmhall1]

What about 7.4v, though? Can you run 2x 17670's, or are they too long?

 

[imeothanasis]

yes, they are too long ken and dangerous too in case of an explotion

 

[kenmhall1]

So, imeo, what are the recommended (protected) batteries that can be used with the highest (mAh) capacity to achieve 7.4v?

 

[imeothanasis]

you can use cr123 batteries ken. The cheap ones from DX or the lifepod from my sellers or the AW batteries from my sellers. AW are expensive but have better performance. Lifepod are very good too. The cheap ones are not bad of course

Never had a problem with AW branded batteries however I have with ultrtafire,just saying as YMMV trustfire and soshine are not bad either as a cheaper alternative,that said AW ship 10440 with soshine label,who really makes these batteries? I have no idea.

I recommend the black AW 18650 2900mah for 3.7v vaping, and the Tenergy LifePo4 750mah batts for 6v. 7.4v is a bit over the top IMO. Also if you don't mind the shorter battery life then the red unprotected AW 18650's are good for some heavy hitting at 3.7v and much cheaper.

Will 2x Ultrafire 18500 1600mah 3.7v protected batteries fit?!?

Not sure but the GGTS will be at is largest point, I personally used for many months 7.4v on the GGTS and must say i can get a full days vape with consistant power with 2x AW IMR (RED) 16340's 550mah. You should be good to go!

I use 2x's AW 3.7 ICR123 750mAh batteries for 7.4 volts

OR

if their diameter is up to 18,4mm then they will fit ken

no he's concerned about length; two 50mm cells won't fit unless you use the 18650 extension, one or two of the midsection pieces should do it. if you want to stack batteries in the GGTS w/out additional parts, the best route is two AW IMR16340s as keon said, but you could also do regular 3.7V 16340s (CR123A), 3.7V CR2 batteries (15270s), 3.7V 14250s, or even 3.7V BDL IMR18350s or the regular 3.7V ultrafire 18350s...but again, best setup is the AW IMR16340s.

 

[kenmhall1]

Ok...I ended up getting 2x protected 18350s at 3.7V and 1200mAh - hopefully that'll get me there without needing any additional extensions...

I've used the standard UltraFire and Tenergys for quite awhile, but recently upgraded to the AW's and I can definitely attest to a difference in both charging life and hit/vapor production. I'm using mostly LR or HV attys now and they definitely run better and longer with the AW's. If you're just using regular atties then the UltraFires and Tenergy's will do fine.
