Update on ultrafire BRC 18650 3000 mah 3.7v

[vinylmason]

For all that like the 3.7v option,you will love these,I loaded one yesterday and used it for 10 hours almost nonstop I mean I really put it threw the test holding the button down for 10 20 seconds and puffing like a madman,I really tried to kill this thing,hit it so much I had a headache from it lol,got up this morning and continued for another 4 hours (crash you nailed it 14hours) and that was on one that was not fully charged started at 3.7v and it didnt stop till it went under 3v.so for a moderate user I wouldnt be afraid to say this thing would last a couple of days easy. to bad im spoiled on the 6v now lmao.anyway I give these a BIG wish they would make a 6v 18650,,,BTW I am using these with the GGT not sure what else they will fit in.they do not fit in my adaptever might with one of his new 6v sleeve

I got about 30 hours heavy vaping out of a 2500 mAh one - so you must really have been hitting this very very hard indeed.

 

[vinylmason]

Yes mam I was trying to kill it so I could get back to the 6v lol

hehehe, I see. I am going to do a full range of time tests on all options once my current 18650 finally runs out.....

the battery I used was not fully charged either so im sure you would get 30 hours + with these

 

[Lisaf01]

Well, I can't tell you what the fully charged voltage was on my one either cos my multimeter died on me (ok, my fault I dropped it down the stairs, oops)

 

[moog]

I find that they are all a little hit and miss but its still a long time....

You may have hard time finding a 6v since li-Ion cells are usually 3.7 volts! Of course, you could tape 2 CR2s together and make a long one but the 800mah may be a problem hehe!

This is interesting, the second 2500mAh 18650 I tried, I only got 13 hours out of it - perhaps it's a crap battery or perhaps I was doing more "uber-vaping".

Did I just coin a new phrase?

 

[grimmer255]

The only mods that got my attention are the SB and GG-T. I got the SB and it is a fantastic mod. And soon once Ikenvape.com is up I will get a GG-T. I don't want to use 6v. Currently Im using the 18500 Ultrafire battery with the SB. I hope to be using the the 18650 once the GG-T comes out.

Other than 18650 battery having longer life is there any other noticeable differences in vapor vs the 18500 battery. And can the 18500 (gray battery) be used in the GG-T nano?

Grimmer tell me more about this SB since I'm thinking about purchasing one.

Grimmer tell me more about this SB since I'm thinking about purchasing one.

Its crafted out of 6061 aircraft aluminum. Chad was in the US Navy and is really savvy when it comes to electronics. He really did a great job making the SB mod. The switch is completly sealed and its drip friendly. It will come standard with the 510 threads but you can get the 901 and 801 adapters...(smaller screw on adapters for $12.50 each). The SB.v2 will come standard with the longer bottem piece for the 18650 ultrafire battery. Or you can use the Cr123 batteries to make it 6v....so you have a choice with the voltage you want. SB.v1 uses the 18500 ultrafire or CR2 batteries so its shorter. All in all its a very well built mod. Oh he really puts a shine on them before they go out. I hope this helps. I will say this for a 3.7 v the vapor is really good.

You lost me on that one. Why would 2 CR2's together (800mAh) be a problem? It's what I'm using in my GG right now, at least I think I am. The batteries are the little green ones and they say, "TR15270, 800mAh, 3v. Am I wrong to use these? Hope not, they sure work good.

 

[moog]

Vinyl..... the dimensions of the battery seem too big for the GGT.....am I looking at the right battery?...thanks

You are ok sharon, keep using them

Thank you Imeo. I just PM'd you.

Well I now have to say, I've joined the group of people who absolutely LOVE this device. How wonderful it is! Pretty too...I haven't even put flowers on it, it doesn't need dressing up!

Have you attacked it with a nail buffer yet Sharon?

Have you attacked it with a nail buffer yet Sharon?

Hey Lisa, actually, I have. It looks great and my nail buffer isn't the best. I have a GREAT Dremel that I'm thinking of using. Sure shines up pretty, doesn't it!!!!

I used some very fine sandpaper from my silversmithing stuff to sand the button and the caps. I then used my dremel with a felt polishing pad and a block of buffing compound. I finally used a leather nail buffer to finish it off. I originally was going to keep it industrial looking, but I had the dremel out within 24 hours of receiving my GG
I will probably get the dremel out again when my skinomi arrives...
