WOW...Efest Purple 18650 35 Amp Batts.

[Heavyrocker]

Sorry,i meant 18650..

First time ive ever tried a high amp batt im my Paps Lux mech/Mini Orchid, and its like nite and day.The vapour is more intense and more flavour.Ive been using 10 amp batts all this time..80 OHMS.28 ga dual coil.

At .8 you are only drawing 5.25 amps, your 10a batteries must have been in really rough shape or weren't 10a CDR batteries to begin with.
4.2v / .8 = 5.25a & 22.05w

Several reliable & accurate independent sources have tested the purple efest 2500mah 35a battery and determined it is actually a 20a CDR cell.

I have 3 of these. Love them. Last a respectable amount of time, charge quick and seem to hold a charge after taking them off, for quite a while. I won't trust the "rating" and keep them under the 20amp max but meh, for $10 I couldn't complain.

Yes,i know those batts are really 20 amps,but i dont plan to go below .50 ohms,if i decide to go super low ohm ill get ''better'' batts.I gotta say tho,the performace is mind blowing.

The 10 amp batts i was using were green ICR`s from Fasstech.

At the OP level of resistance and the level I vape at the purple efests work just fine. They way outlast my sony's that are only have about 20 cycles more on them. My lady and I use them in Valkyrie's and the builds are the same and the purple efests are just fine.

can anyone tell me where I can get some competition batteries 26650.I have a congestus that I double stack and it hits like a run away train

Compa...............What? No such Battery. Just look for Good High Discharge high Mah Batteries. MNKE and several others make very dependable 26650's

Oh, and Stacking is not the wisest thing to do. Especially if you don't know everything about the Batteries you are using. (EVERYTHING)

The Efest 35 amps are 20 amp continuous, and 35 amp pulse for 70 seconds I believe. Which is sufficient for most vapers. That's why they sell them as 35 amp batteries, for ecig users.......

10A batteries typically have higher internal resistance than 20A batts which means higher voltage drop under load so less power across the coils. Use will increase internal resistance until it becomes quite high compared to a new battery.

Which green ICRs from Fasttech HR? Are they Panasonic? Hopefully not really ICR too

Industry standard is to spec a battery by its continuous discharge rating. The companies that use pulse ratings without specifying that are IMO purposely taking advantage of people who don't understand, so they will sell more batteries. Specially in vaping, it's an unethical practice because of the safety issues.

 

[deach]

Coming from Flashlights and RC cars I agree that the rating should be what the continuous Amperage is. Some of us use the batteries for things other than vaping or in conjunction with vaping. Always research the batteries you are buying no matter what the label says and, irregardless of the manufacturer.

Just for the heck of it, this morning before work I built a parallel 0.4ohm coil out of 28 gauge Kanthal and have been using it with my eFest 18650 "35A". Fantastic vape. Unfortunately its around half the resistance of my many other coils so I went through 2 batteries today (I pull mine at 3.7v every time) makes me wonder how the eFest 26650's would work comparing for battery life...time to do some research methinks....
