Hey guyz,i am planning to buy a mtl setup and was wondering how to decide on good battery as i cant get a good explanation to the terms being used.i plan to vape around 15-25 watt and am looking for a 18650 battery that can last me well.i also saw people saying that sometimes its better to go for more amps than mah.So i was hoping someone can help me understamd as well as decide in some batteries
Hi everyone,
Hope your all having a great weekend! Hopefully someone can help me figure out any good canadian or American reputable vendors for 18650 batteries for my arrow sense mod. Out of all the vendors listed in the battery thread, only one had the batteries I wanted, but it was in the US and would cost over $50 for shipping. Hoping to find shipping for $20-30 canadian instead. I am particularly interested in the batteries on the forums listed as tested by mooch in a stickier post. Or Sony battery with 2500 mah , I like to vape with two 18650 batteries at 60-80 watts.
So, I know that the Sony VTC batteries were the like "Go-to" battery. But they are being faked a lot and are hard to come by some authentic ones.
So whats the next best option?
I have a few different batteries and I definitely can tell the difference in the quality of the hit, and the life of the battery.
I have a red IMR 2000 mAh 18650 and it hits the worst out of all of my batteries.
Then I have a blue samsung battery (Can't really read the writing) but I can see it says 25r on it. This one hits decent.
Then I have a green 2600 mAh battery. Its a beast. Hits like a champ and lasts long. I would like to find a similar battery to this one. Im guessing this is the Sony VTC 5.
I really want to find something that is just as good as the Green one.
Does anyone know where to find these or a similar battery that is 2600mAh 30 amp? If so, are there any deals going on online where I could get a good price? Id like to order some new batteries.
Thanks for the help all!
Edit. One more question. Anyone know the difference between the Amps on each of the batteries? Just from guessing id say the red is 20 amps, blue is 25, and the green is 30? Does that sound right?
Hello All,
Does anyone know which 18650 battery would last the longest when vaping at 13 watts? I have listed some below but any not listed recommendations are welcome as well.
(PS please don't respond with battery safety information or suggestions for me to look at mooch ratings)
Also, does anyone know if the vendors in the last 3 below links are reliable?
Thanks!

So I was doing some research on what my next mod will be for my new sub ohm tank with its .25 ohm coil and my decision was originally between a Sigelei 150 and a Smaug 150w but then I went to Luxyoun's website and saw the Luxyoun Mac 150 Watt. I thought for sure I would have to go with a box mod to get over 100 watts, which I originally hated the idea of because I would much rather have a cylinder mod. I can't find almost any information on this device so its hard to decide whether to get it or not. I think cylinder mods look wayy better than box mods and are way easier to carry and feel better to hold so this might be the perfect mod for me. It uses one 26650 battery so there will be a long battery life and a high amp rating unlike a 18650 cylinder mod. I know it will be thicker than a 18650 cylinder mod but I'm fine with that over a box mod. Does anyone know of any cons about this mod? If you know anything about this device please post because I can't find a single review on it. Thanks!!

So i was thinking of starting a thread which might list every mod past and present which would be compiled by you from one day to the next. At first i thought it wouldn't be practical because no one would know if a mod had been added unless they read through the entire thread.
Then i thought if a list from A though Z were compiled systematically by members by copying and pasting the most recent list in this thread, and then contributing to it, ensuring your entries are inserted alphabetically (Even if it's only one or two mods), then eventually this thread could contain pretty much every mod that exists, and would be updated regularly, by you !. No pictures please !. Only brief descriptions such as "company name / name of mod / type of mod".
What better place for such a list than ECF, "The world's largest e-cigarette website.
Here's my contribution to start it off :
____________________________________________
Pioneer4you IPV 3 150 watt box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Pioneer4you IPV 4 100 watt box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Provape Provari V2.5 "Polished stainless steel" tube mod (1 18650 battery)
SIGELEI 100 watt Plus box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Smoant Charon TS 218 box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Tesla advanced vapourizer 6 volt -15 watt VV/VW Tube mod (single 18650 battery).
Vamo V7 40 watt tube mod (Single 18650 battery)
Voopoo Too 180 watt tc box mod (2 18650 batteries)
________________________________________
it's a list of all the mods i own at this present time.
If you're going to add to the list then you can add any mods you can think off as long as you place those mods into the existing alphabetical order ( description should start with the company name). Batteries such as, say, vision twist aren't mods so lets not get into those. Tube mods and box mods (Includes internal/built in battery mods) only please (Squonkers included)
And lets not forget Mechanicals.
If you think a previous desciption is incorrect then correct it.
Ensuring company names come first in your description will enable a logical, consistant "alphabetical" understanding of the list by anyone who views it.
If you don't know the name of the company who made the mod just insert the name of the mod etc.
So I just bought a kit, it doesn't come with batteries -- which I wasn't told (was led to believe it was charged through the USB port according to vape store employee). So I ordered x4 Nitecore-NL1834 18650 3400mAh 3.7 Protected Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries and now the door won't close. I read an old article saying that Protected 18650 can be bigger. If there's a possibility of buying batteries that cost $18 a pop shouldn't they let you know there's a chance that it won't be the right size?
Is there a trick to getting the battery lid to close or do I need to now buy unprotected 18650 batteries and hopefully get my money back on the protected batteries I bought?
Over the last 24 month or so, mods became bigger and bigger due to increasing sizes of batteries and comically large tank attys. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that I only need to change the battery and fill the tank once per day, that's awesome, however, some of those devices got to a point where they became not very portable anymore... Gone is the time in which the mod can be put in the pockets of your pants.
So, as far as I'm concerned, I got realy tired of those huge mods and went back to one of my first mods, no VV no VW no temperature control.... Its the REO mini..... Super small and tough as nails.
After a while I kept looking for something comparable but a non squonker mod. I found the Ministick with the 18650 extension.
I have it now for a few weeks and I'm sooooo happy with it.
It's just a tad larger than the REO mini but it carries the 18650 battery and the Kayfun V4. This mod would be quite a bit smaller than the REO mini if I take the battery extension off, which is very impressive.
I will very likely never buy another regular tube or box mod just due to its size.
I see only pros for side by sides, they are the perfect combination between small size and good battery/tank capacity, so I'm naturally wondering why they are so little loved?
What is your point of view?
Hi guys. Can I use my INR 18650 Samsung 20A battery with a .5 coil and try out 50 watts? I have a new mod.I have looked through the titles and searched all day but don't exactly know what I need in terms of battery. I don't even know how to use the calculators properly. Can someone direct me to some info which would help me. Thanks
So I have (2) 3100mAh Efest batteries rated @ 20A and (1) 2500mAh Efest batterie rated @ 35A. I'm experiencing a pretty annoying problem with all 3 of them and that is they aren't lasting nearly as long as I feel they should be. I can EASILY vape through a battery in less than one hour while heavy vaping. I'm aware that I am sub-ohming and that requires more power from the battery but these are just going way too fast and something isn't right. I have a BEC Pro mod that takes a single 18650 battery and I'm vaping an Aspire Atlantis tank @ 35 watts with the .5 ohm coil installed. I charge each battery fully with a Nitecore i2 before using them and it'll say 4.2V on my mod & on my Smart BEC app it will say 100% as I take my first few puffs but then starts draining at a ridiculous rate until they are dead. I am not aware what the mod efficiency is on my BEC Pro or if there might be something not working properly within my device. Can someone please help me find what's wrong with these? Maybe some of you have eperienced this problem with Efest batteries in the past? Thanks in advance!
Edit: These are genuine Efest batteries as I bought them straight from the manufacture on Ebay.
I ordered a SXmini SL class with the sx485j chip and it recommends a 35a battery. I only use .15ohm coils at 60 watts so I should be good with a samsung 18650-35E right? Going to buy 21700 batteries once these start losing their charge because I just got them recently..
