Sigelei 150w is it recommended to use Panasonic NCR18650B 3400 mAh unprotected or should I use Samsung INR18650-25R 3,6V 2500mAh. Flat Top or Button T

Thanks guys, what's there else left to say. Thank YOU.

That looks like a good deal niicore it's retailing for 17$ http://www.amazon.com/NiteCore--i4-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=8-1&keywords=nitecore



Regarding the IStick and the way you charge it one last question. Does the Istick also have an overload protection features? Or do you set a timer or something like that to not forget to unplug the usb charger cable.

Finally, Susan's coffee has run out! :lol: j/k

The iStick 50w stops charging when the battery is fully charged - no need to set a timer - just unplug it when the battery level graph stops blinking..

glad I could be of any help.

He did a lot of testing on other devices so I just noticed.

Seems like The IStick50Watts performs really really well.

Here you go:

IStick 50Watt

VS the Smok XPro M8

I'm sorry if that too offtopic just wanted to let you know guys. I found ti really useful and wanted to share this with you.

So I just translated (with Google) one of Dirks comments. And he seems to be right and does know what he's talking about

Again, an addendum and a few thoughts on the above video of mine:

If we are realistic and honest then you can not really expect a battery carrier to deliver really good values ​​for services at above> 50 Watt, because of the bottleneck, cables and 510'er connection at currents of 20-30 amp. In this case there would be in the box, for example, from the board to the 510 connector, to be installed an mm² cable for the 510 with a cross section of 1.5 to 2.5, which will be given in the rarest of cases. But even if the contact from 510'er Plus pole to 510'er the evaporator is always an unsuitable transition. The 510'er was never designed for such currents. Now we have a v3 yet sprung plus pole, which is basically good, but not in such streams, since we can no longer influence in the IPV on a frictional connection. Would Particularly in low-voltage connections and these currents would be best suitable for a hybrid device, for example as the device "the thing" by Kopp design or the "Enigma" Steam Pipes. Just compare Connections from the vehicles field where 20-30 amp flow thru the cables. You'll notice and see, what cables are actually used there and how they are attached. The current trend towards more watts makes no sense to me IMHO for us vapers and is only a hype. I mean if we Sub-ohm, chase thick clouds at above (150W), then please omly on unregulated hybrid devices, because only there we have the right connections from the battery to the coil and also this devices should be careful used by people who know what they do. Only my 2cents.

What he's basically saying (if I interpreted that correctly) is that you wont get a full and stable output out of 150Watts and above. (He was testing the IPV 3 and commented on it because of the very low wattage output and the limitations), the 510 Connector and the cables are the culprit. It's not always true what the device is displaying back to the user

That's probably why Vaporshark won't go above 50 watts because that certainly makes no sense.

so in a nutshall the IPV 3 V3 150W has an max measured wattage of 80watts with fully charged batts.
