So I went to my favorite vape store to help him install software to get free ufc fights and he in return gave me 2 900mah 18350 batteries and I gave them a try and it was just the boost I needed thank you everyone for the knowledge.

That's a unusually high mAh for an 18350 IMR battery. What brand is it? :unsure:

They were free!!! Figured give it a shot. I thought all unprotected batteries were imr..

NO!! Never use unprotected ICR batteries in any mod!! And do not stack those batteries in any mod, either!!

  • There are un-protected ICR batteries which are used in flashlights and lap top computers. Never use them in a mod. These are the type of battery which can explode.

  • There are protected ICR batteries which can sometimes be used in mechanical mods using factory-made coils (clearomizers & cartomizers).

  • IMR batteries are unprotected because they use safe chemistry and don't need a built-in protected circuit like ICR's do.

Just for the record, if you are running dual coils in parallel (both coils sharing the center post), you need some more larnin' in Ohm's law. Resistances in parallel add like this 1/(1/r + 1/r). In the case of dual parallel coils of 1.6 Ohm, you get 0.8 Ohm.

Just reiterating so you will be safe.

Also, I guess I should simplify, the above is the general case: if you have three coils sharing a center post then the total resistance is 1/(1/r + 1/r + 1/r), r being the value of the resistance (Ohms). And so on and so forth (four 1/r's for quad coils, etc.).

But for a dual-coil parallel, you can just divide the resistance of one coil by 2, tri-coil by 3, etc. Assuming the resistance value of each coil is equal or roughly so.

Figure a lot of people are allergic to math, so why push them away with it.

I glad... 2 350's seem to really just kick it up a notch. Its not much, but it is noticeable :)

Are most/all imr batteries unprotected?

IMR's are unprotected... But they dont need protection 'cause they are safer than ICR's to begin with...



As for ICR's.. There are mods out there (like the VAMO) that come in a kit with 2 350 ICR's. If you used them and they work without getting hot, they should be ok until the new ones arrive.

These are the ones that come in the VAMO 'kit'.. $4.39 ICR18350 18350 3.7V "900mAh" Rechargeable Lithium Battery - acural capaticy 799.1mAh at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
