Alright so, the suggested battery for the Reo Grand, is the AW IMR 18650 1600mah version, yes?
OK well, leading with the notion that I KNOW the suggested battery is the lovely AW IMR 18650 1600mah version, I have a different battery to suggest to you all.
IMR 18650, LiMn 2250mAh Battery, Button Top
(I got mine somewhere else, but they no longer have them, and this is where I found them in stock with a google search)
After some research, turns out this battery is the same as a Panasonic 18650.. I believe the CGR18650CH(there is a thread somewhere in the APV forum), which gives this a 10amp capacity.
10amps. Not that high you say right? Well, you can run a .5ohm coil with room to spare(8.4amps) on a 10amp load battery, so unless you have modded your Reo to go real low, this battery is a good fit.
Notice the Bold?
This battery, is a hair thicker than an AW IMR, and a bit longer. My Nemesis is a mod which has a snug fit for batterys, this won't fit in the nemesis at all. And its a little longer.. just a bit, but its there.
Now.. why is this good for my Reo LP, and why do I suggest it to you all?
Being a little bit longer than the AW IMR, AND being a button/nipple top like the AW IMR.. it fits the Reo battery slot a little bit snugger. It makes contact with the firing pin just a little bit better. Listen it could be anecdotal only, but I feel like the mod fires easier and more consistently with these batteries than with my AW IMR 18650 1600mah version. I feel like that slightly snugger fit keeps the battery exactly in place, and that slightly longer length gives that little bit easier firing of the button.
Another plus, is 2250mah.
Im running much higher than I usually do.. .8ohm. IDK how these will do when they're using they're whole amp draw, but at .8ohm, these batterys stay above 3.7v for a long time. I changed one out this morning, thinking it had to be time to change it, and it was still 3.9v.
Im not saying DONT use AW IMR batteries. Theyre great batteries, through and through. I happen to have these already, so I thought ID try them out, and I noticed the mod seemed to fire a little bit easier. And I DO notice they last a long time, thats for sure.
Just thought ID throw some info to the Reoville Town Bulletin Board.. If you don't like my flyer, all good.. stick a yard sale flyer over it and call it a day
