Hello all, battery advice?

[N9nemare]

I am new to this forum, I just joined today.. I wanted to say hello to my fellow vapers, and ask a question..

I have a SVD in the mail on it's way, and plan to by a nemsis clone very shortly as well... I was wondering if these batteries (efest [h=1] IMR 18650 2000mah 3.7v High Drain Li-mn Rechargeable Battery with Button Top ) Will work with both mods, or should I get different batteries ? [/h]

Thanks for any advice..

Greetings; Yes, 1865- IMRs will be fine. What brand of battery did you get?

I have an svd and they works in mine. But to be honest I don't get much of a batt life out of them. Few hours at best. But on the other hand, every other breathe I take is a vape. I wonder if someone can chime in on the AW batts.

Those batteries will work, but aren't the greatest of batteries.

For a single battery that works great in both mods check the Orbtronic 18650 2900 mAh High Drain. Great little batteries for VV and mech mods.

They have both protected and unprotected versions. Make sure you get the Unprotected.

The pink Samsung batteries are pretty great, can't think of the model # offhand.

I have not ordered any brand of battery yet, I'm trying to figure out which ones I should get.... I would like to order four, so I don't want to get the wrong battery....

Samsung Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 2600mAh-ICR18650-26F Rechargeable Battery-Flat Top, These?

 

[N9nemare]

Or how about the Panasonic NCR18650B 3.7V 3400mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries

That's it.

I have heard good things about the Sanyo 18650B and the Panasonic which is likely the same 3400mah battery.

FWIW.... I'll throw my idea into this.....
AW IMR 18650 1600mAH.....Button top.....24 AMP MAX DISCHARGE RATE...
Rated for "SAFE USAGE" down to .4 ohm....with a "safety margin" of 20%....it can be used to ~.7-.8 ohms...
EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT doing sub-ohm loads....the added current capacity is peace-of-mind....
VAPE SAFE!!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

I've ordered a couple of EH IMR 18650 High drain 30Amp max batteries for my Maraxus.
if you plan on building sub-ohm coils, I would HIGHLY recommend buying HIGH Constant Amp Batteries, just to be safe.

 

[Glenn_K]

The choice is more critical if you're using a mech mod, especially with sub oHm coils, in which case you need something rated high enough in Amps to handle that kind vaping.

For a regulated mod such as yours, EFests will work just fine, but you could go with AWs, which cost a few $$ more per, but are worth it; they tend to last longer between charges than EFests, and will also serve you well if you get a mech mod down the road. For regulated mods, I also like Panasonic CGR18650CHs (2250 mAh), which have decent battery life.

Make sure you get unprotected batteries -- protected batteries tend not to work with regulated mods like your SVD.

The Panasonic ncr18650pf 2900 mAh (10 amp limit, hybrid chemistry) are great. Better than the 18650b. The Sony VTC4 is pretty much the best you can get for mechs, and it works great in the SVD as well.

Just as an FYI.

 

[N9nemare]

if I need unprotected batteries for the SVD do I need protected ones for the nemi?

Thinking about just grabbing these Amazon.com: Panasonic NCR18650PF 3.6V "2900mAh" Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack): Everything Else

I'm trying to find batteries to order from amazon cause I'm not sure where else I would get them...

The ORBTRONIC battiers from amazon say protected.... I need to order these batteries tonight..


*edit* I do not plan on sub ohming

 

[SubZ3RO]

yes it will work fine

Buy directly from the source.

Hybrid IMR 18650 30A Orbtronic SX30 Ultra High Drain rechargeable battery

Those are the unprotected 30 amp batteries. They'll work just fine for anything you want to do with either VV or mech mod.

 

[N9nemare]

Is there major difference between these two batteries ?

NCR18650PF

NCR18650PD

I ordered the PD just wondering if I made a mistake at all.. I did see it on Baditude battery list..

 

[KenD]

The pf is a newer version of the pd. Different chemistries, I think, making the pf a bit safer. Both really good batteries though. Someone more knowledgeable should be able to provide more/better information.

I have another question, I am charging my batteries for the first time right now... They just came in today, am I suppose to let them sit before use? Or can I fire up my new SVD when they are done charging?

Sorry for the newbi questions..
