This might be a really stupid question but I need help.

[EXILEDinATL]

I have a nemesis clone on the way. I wont be able to go buy batteries until Friday. I was hoping and wondering if I could use my Samsung ICR 18650 battery that came with my evic in it? I just wanted to ask before I did something stupid. I have a Nobel 1 hybrid coming in real soon too. But that one is coming with batteries.

I found a Nemesis at Fasttech and it sure looks like it will take a 18650 - I copied and pasted that below;

Can be powered by 1*18350 battery/1*18500 battery/1*18650 battery (batteries sold separately)

Just be sure you're using IMR (safest due to battery chemistry) - or ICR protected batteries.

If that ICR is not protected, then don't use it. When you have the money, just get AW IMR's. Genuine AW Batteries at RTD Vapor

If you can't tell if the batteries are protected or non-protected, to be safer I'd say not use them. Never use any unprotected ICR battery in any mod. You can use a protected ICR battery in a mechanical mod, however the current thought is IMR (Li-mn, safer chemistry, high drain) batteries are preferred over protected batteries. - reference http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/129569-rechargeable-batteries.html

To be completely honest with you. That is what I am tying to figure out. I can't find out if they are protected or not. I have seached everywhere.

IF the Batteries do not clearly 'state' what they are, don't use them. Wait and be sure.

Without a clear picture of the battery for us to see, or any identifying lettering/numbers on the battery, there is no way for us to tell which battery it is. I'm sure Samsung makes IMR, protected and un-protected batteries. With out more information no one can help you.

The Evic has built-in protective circuitry with its processor, so the choice of protected vs un-protected is not as critical. Well, take that back. Regulated mods need high drain batteries, which are IMRs.

I know Samsung makes the following IMR/Hybrid batteries which are safe, but they are not ICR.

INR18650-22P 2200mAh 10A
INR18650-20R 2000mah 22A​

Un-protected batteries should never be used in a mod. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

[EXILEDinATL]

this is exactly what it says on the batt every picture I have seen says thing a small bit different.
"ICR18650-26FU
Samsunng SDI
4ca1"

edit* this should be the same thing just didn't say if it was protected or not.

I've seen those batteries, in a store that sells eVics. I didn't trust it when I saw it then, I don't trust it now. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I prefer my dental work to be done by a doctor...

Got Vapes carries this battery and says it is not protected.

Nice job, Bad!

Nice job, Bad!

Thanks. But I'm still confused why Joytech would have Samsung make a dedicated ICR non-protected battery for a regulated mod with boost circuitry for variable voltage/wattage. Typically regulated mods require a high drain battery such as an IMR or IMR/hybrid.

 

[skdragon]

yeah, go for a good protected battery, its better safe than sry

A good IMR battery is safer than a good protected battery. Reference - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/129569-rechargeable-batteries.html

Beats me. I wouldn't use that battery for my mods.

However, others might disagree. Here's an interesting read:

Too many people are pushing AW IMR batteries and EFest batteries unnecessarily. There's no EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you NEED to spend the extra $$$ (or £££ for that matter). Just because I recommend these batteries does not mean that you SHOULD get them for yourself, it means that I can CONFIRM that they WORK WELL. In other words, you could do worse...

Business is in business for themselves. If they can interest you in their product by packaging it with a junk battery, then that's what they'll do. Most consumers leap before they look. If this forum wasn't here, there would be nothing standing between the unwitting and Joyetech's sales.

The eVic ICR battery is NOT protected

 

[madqatter]

Batteries are not something I'd want to take risks with. I'd definitely shell out a couple extra bucks apiece for something safer.

Yeah, we established that an hour ago. But thanks.
