Smaller battery types? I am not sure which one to get.

[DcMagic]

I noticed that the site I am picking up my DIY stuff carries some batteries. I am interested in picking up 2 smaller batteries that will fit my mod tub when I take the middle section off.

I have the turtleship v3, the batty tube alone is two sections screwed together, so If I take the top part off and turn it into a small PV, what size battery do I need to buy?

Secondly, Once I do pick up a smaller battery, what needs to happen with my coils? I am running a Sony vtc 5 battery right now and it handles all my low sub ohms builds... Is there a comparable smaller (In size) battery that will do the same? Or do the smaller battries only handle higher ohms? I am not too sure how that works.

In a perfect world, Id like to be able to take my top section off of my mod, put the smaller battery in, and carry it as a mini-mod that will be able to handle same same coil I have on it when running my larger vtc5. I have a .5 ohm kayfun tank, and a .35 ohm patriot rda set up at the moment.

Thank you!

I don't believe any of the 18350 or other small batteries can handle the same way as a VTC can. I had a damn close call using an 18350 not thinking throwing a .5 kayfun on my nemesis and boy did that thing get HOT. I mean hot like fire not just warm, and it started to make a really weird smell. I would be really careful. Now there might be a battery around now that can handle it , as this was some months ago. Either way it is always a great idea to take a little extra time to do your research (which is exactley what you are doing lol). Can I ask why you would need the smaller size? In a situation where you needed that smaller size would you be able to live with a higher resistance coil?

I've been using EFEST IMR 18350's...10.5A draw, 700mah.

I run 0.5Ω no problem...but they sure don't last long

really you got a .5 to run on an efext 10a? that was the same battery that almost melted my face haha. Maybe I had a bad battery or something?

I just want it for the novelty of having a small mod once in a while.

I guess I will hold off on that until I find a 1ohm coil that I am happy with, then I will pick a couple up.

Just curious, when running a 1 - 1.5ohm coil, how long of a battery life do you get off those little guys?

Thanks for the info, I am going to hold off on picking one up until a later time.

With a 700mah battery and 1-1.5 you should be able to make through, say, an 8 hour work shift ( as long as your not chaing vaping that is) If it doesn't make it all the way through it will be damn close anyway

p until a later time.

I get about 6 - 7 hours on an AW 18350 IMR 700mah battery with a 1.4 ohm single coil in my KFL+.

A batteries discharge capabilities is a derivative of its capacity. If you took the exact same chemistry used in the VTC5 (30A / 2.600 mAh = ~11.5C) and stuck it in a 700 mAh 18350, you'd end up with an amp limit of about 8 amps.

Yah man...fully charged at 4.2v, 0.5Ω, gets you 8.4A. So that *should* be safe...no heat from the battery at all.

I wish Sony made VTC's in 18500 and 18350 sizes...EFEST and MNKE are pretty crummy in comparison.

yeah efest is bottom of the barrel imo.Thanks for the calculations. That is one area ( battery draw) that I am still learning. Ever since I had that incident I just don't sub ohm unless its a 30a.

Pannasonic makes a good battery to don't they? maybe they have an 18350 variant
