what are the best 18650

[VapesAlot]

BTW regular AW 18650 do not fir in the LT. It functions but the batt is too long even the flat top. So you will be fine with the IMRs - which will fit your LT, because the batts it comes with are junk.

actually im looking for batterys that will fit both the omega and the lava tube. i have the batterys that came with the lava tube and was expecting them to work in the omega also and later i well pick up some more of those batterys that will fit both

no problemo..my omega using that battery also..aw imr..

I've seen some LT users put an oring between the tube and the cap to close the gap with the AW 18650 - I would assume this wouldn't cause any issues?

That's what I am doing

so if the aw imr are longer that makes me worry, i have even shorter batterys than aw, with no button top. can someone try their lava tube battery in their omega and confirm if it will indeed fire with them. im sure someone here has those two mods

No need to. The Omega and SB for that matter take them all because of the bottom spring.

AW IMR will fit fine in Lavatubes if thats what your afraid of, think they are around the same size, its the AW protected batteries that are a bit longer

Correct 68mm vice 65mm

Have noticed the AW IMR 18650 3.7v 2000mAh do leave a small gap in the LT where the 1600mAh version fit perfectly

The higher mAh version is shorter? Seems weird.

hey guy been shopping and came accross this battery from vapor geek. it looks the same as the one i have but with a larger mah. but cant seem to find if its chemically safe or not and dont know if its any good SANYO 2600mAh rechargeable Li-Ion 18650 Battery whats your thoughts on it

That one definitely isn't a IMR battery, just based on its C rating( it has a 2 C rating) IMR should be much higher, and the battery capacity. But it will definitely suite the need of any pv since hte current limit is pretty large to start with.

I don't think AW IMR goes as high as 2600 mAh.

 

[DevilFishPhil]

The newest AW IMR has 2000mAh

But is it safe to use in an omega

But is it safe to use in an omega

Since i don't own a omega or do I don't to much about it, I can't really give a concrete answer for it.

but theoretically going off by its posted stats:

Capacity: 2600mAh
Nominal Voltage: 3.7V
Length: 65mm
Diameter: 18mm
Max Charging current: 2.6A
Max Discharging current: 5.2A
Size: 18650 (Cylindrical)

Yes it should be safe to use on a omega unless your omega requires a current draw higher then 5.2A.

I = V/R 5.2= 4.2/ R

R= . 807

Even at its top voltage ( 4.2v fully charged) it would require a 0.80 ohm atomizer to push it past its max discharge rate of 5.2A. Even then the protected circuit should kick in and prevent that ( i'm assuming its has a protected circuit, you need to contact the vendor to make sure)

So answer your questions, yes it should be safe to use on a omega since by its stats it pretty much the same size as the standard imr and its rated amp draw is more then enough the omega.

I have both the 3100 Mah AW and 1700 AW IMR, and both work in the LT.

The issue is that the 3100 mah AW is a bit longer, which mean while it does screw on, it leaves a bit of the grey exposed, which can be hidden if you feel the need by a rubber o-ring. This however is only cosmetic.

what happens when you use imr batterys and you run them down to far, i konw when you use protected they will cut off, but what will happen with imr if you forgot to charge the battery and ran down. do they just not fire? do they die and the battery not work anymore?

U tend to just kill the battery and shorten its lifespan when you run them down to far.
