Will these batts work with Buzz Pro?

[arbogast]

I just ordered a Buzz Pro from Liberty Flights (UK). I'm thrilled, can't wait, stalking mailman etc.

But these batteries - will they work?: Cytac RCR123 3.7V batteries with PCB - sold as a pair
I haven't found any reviews / mention of them here at ECF towers.

I'm aware that the Powerizers (rcr123a 3.7v) are the way to go, but can't find someone who sells them in Europe.

Any help much appreciated.

The 32mm length may make them a tad short (16340s are 34mm lobg) but the voltage is right and their the right diameter so if you can get a good connection top and bottom they should work fine I would think.

Fairly sure they will connect but might slightly rattle. There should be more spring compression than 4mm. Might have to slightly stretch the bottom cap spring.

 

[arbogast]

Thanks a lot for your answers. I really appreciate it.

I think I'll use a spacer instead of stretching anything.

Still would like to know if someone knows of a powerizer rcr123a 3.7v vendor in europe, though.

 

[Ruppy]

Not that I can find on google. Pretty sure mike gets his from the source directly.

.....Customs sucks.....As things become more of a world market they are going to have to rethink the whole customs thing eventually.

 

[arbogast]

I hear you! Still I'm too impatient to wait for that

I'll see if/how it vapes with the batts I ordered. If it doesn't work, or performance is bad, I'll probably just giggle frantically, saliva running down my chin, and order 2 pairs from notcigs for a total of around 50$.

AW 750mah tested really good , search for those ,

#3 on my list is a Trustfire 1,000 mah white , or 880 mah blue

 

[arbogast]

Thanks BuzzKill. I'm honoured

They got'em at cloud9.

Just to make sure, it's these, right?: http://www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/epage...bjectPath=/Shops/yxve46fvrnud/Products/B63-09

yup those are the ones Thats what im currently using

You might be able to slide a business card in the tube if you have a rattle. Some of done it and that took care of any more rattle.

Congratulations....you're going to love your Buzz Pro.

The Buzz Army rolls forward......

Sir! Yes sir!

Arbogast, I've been using these batteries with great success ... and their runtime is a bit longer than of the blue ones:

TrustFire 16340 880mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

Though they come from HongKong, I had no problem having them shipped to Germany - if you stick with the limit your country sets to how much you can import legally and free of charge, they will even be delivered door-to-door... be prepared however for about 4 weeks delivery time! In Germany we can import things freely if the value of the merchandise does not exceed 22 Euros .... don't know about Norway's regulations. But you can easily find out with a short google search, customs normally publish their rules and regulations publicly.

The Powerizers are of course the better choice with a runtime around twice the time of the flamed trustfires. But if you can't get them, the ones I linked you to are the second best option!

That's what I've been using but after they give up I'm going to try some of those 1000mah Mike mentioned.

 

[mamamia]

Well I got a pair of Powerizers with my (old blue) Buzz ... they are phenomenally longer lasting. But I'm not sure if they are the same like these 1000 mAh?

 

[arbogast]

Thanks to everyone in this thread. I'm grateful for all your advice / experience / thoughts.

In case others might need this info: The batts I linked to work fine - no cardboard or spring stretching needed.

I don't know what battery life I'll get yet. Will update when I get a feel for it (haven't got the equipment needed for testing batteries, if I did, I wouldn't know where to start)

For run time, I always just go by how many ml of eliquid I use between battery changes, at about how many volts and watts. (equally, at about how many volts and what's the resistance of the carto or atty).

With the powerizers I tend to run 6 - 7 ml of eliquid, about 4.5V/8W with a 2.5 ohm cartomizer, about 1.8 amp current draw. When I use a 3.1 ohm carto, I tend to run just slightly warmer, up toward 5.1 or so V, a bit over 8W, about 1.7A. I'm pretty consistent in watts and current draw, so not surprised that I'm getting pretty run time results.

I might get slightly longer run time with the higher resistance cartos, but not enough to care about. I like the 2.5 ohm fusion performance enough with my eliquid that I'm happy to trade a little absolute runtime.

 

[mamamia]

Runtime in hours can be important for people who go out to work each day - just so that they can make sure to carry enough extra batteries in case power runs out. That would be awful, wouldn't it!? I don't go to work any more, so count me out. I just enjoy and need not care too much about runtime.

 

[arbogast]

Just an update on the Cytac RCR123 3.7V batteries with PCB - sold as a pair

They work, but runtime isn't optimal. A pair last me a little less than 4 hours w semi heavy vaping.

 

[markfm]

No surprise, unfortunately. A lot of battery claims are nonsense. You can buy a pair that says 800 mAh, they actually test 400.

 

[arbogast]

Luckily I was aware of exactly that, when I ordered. A bad battery is better than no battery.
