Can anyone clue me on the longest lasting 3v stackable batts? For my Silver Bullet? Also any carto reccomendations for 6vs? I ran the two cartos I had left, the first one lasted me a week, then started getting weak and nasty tasting...I was bummed. I am on my second and I forgot where and what kind they were. I'm back after a year btw. Thank you! I also might add that when I was really obsessed with vaping I turned away from Johnsoncreek juice. But that's the only one I liked when I just started back up again. Thanks again

I really don't recommend stacking batteries in any mod unless it was specifically designed for that.

AltSmoke specifically warns against stacking batteries in the Silver Bullet. They even print out the warning in red lettering on the website.

Having said that, before knowing any better and prior to purchasing my Provari, I experimented with stacking the 3 volt RCR123 batteries in my own Silver Bullet for a couple of weeks. Also tried the 5 volt Nimh batteries (require a dedicated charger). You'll quickly find that you will be changing batteries every couple of hours, and the ability of these batteries to hold a charge will quickly degrade, too.

By the time you purchase enough batteries and dedicated charger to reach your goal, you could have best used the money on a Kick and sleeve, or a variable voltage/variable wattage APV. Be aware that these batteries were not designed to be used in the manner you plan to use them. Using any device for other than they were intended carries an inherent risk.

You will be much better served either Kicking your Silver Bullet or purchasing a dedicated variable voltage APV for higher voltage vaping.

Thanks, so I get a VV APV... Wouldn't those drain my batts faster? Can I Vape at 6v's with VV, obviously, but don't you stack batts in those as well? What batts are used? I know the ProVari did, and if you used a 3.7V high drain, wouldn't the batt life be shorter anyway?

I have zero experience with stacked batteries so I can't compair battery life, but I can tell you my experience with battery life in vv APV'S. the one I use most is a provari mini with 18350's and 18490's. With 18350's I get about 4 hours vape time. With 18490's I got about 6 hours. That of course is my vape pace. Yours may be different. Most vv APV'S out right now don't require stacking.

This kick is new, can you explain it?

The kick is a drop in module used in unregulated tube mods (like the silver bullet) that regulates the wattage from 5-10 watts.

I was always fine with a normal 18650 battery, and an IGO-L RBA. solid setup right there. make your own coils to your liking. if you are feeling ballsy, get some 26 awg kanthal to wrap your silica wick

in this pic is 30awg, I think.
