Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah, I've got three coming. Will post up impressions of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape4lyfe Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 21 dollars for one battery is expensive! Thats not even with shipping, even tho it seems to be a legit battery, that seems too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proetus Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 6.8 amp limit and the protection make it nearly unusable for anything other then vv devices. I wouldn't even use it in a DNA or DNA clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Okay, please explain that part to me. That is the kind of info I was looking for. The sony's I use now are 30amp and 2600mah. What is wrong with it being protected for vaporizers? This is why I am asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Protected means it has a small amount of circuitry that will prevent it from exceeding its limits. They do a few other things as well, overcharge, overheat protection etc. Generally you do not want a protected battery in a mod. Most PV's have protection built into the chip. Except mech's which have no protection obviously. Bet in mechs, you want the high drain type of batteries that can handle the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Okay so here's what I don't understand. The AW 18350's I have been using say they are 6 amp max discharge. If these 18650's are 6.5 why are they unusable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 I actually wanted the protection since I'm using a mech. But if it makes it unusable that would not be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It's useable, but it has that amp limitation that you'll need to be aware of. As long as you don't go over it you'll be fine. 6.8 amps on a mech isn't much. I wouldn't go any lower then .7. On a fresh battery, assuming 4.1 volts on a .7ohm coil you're pulling 5.86amps and 24.01 watts. By changing to a .6 coil the amps jump to 6.83 and 28.02 watts.

Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Gotcha. Yeah I just did calculations. If I'm 1.5 ohm at 3.7 volt I am at 9.12watt. Then divide 9.12w by 3.7v gives me 2.46amps. I think I'm good! Thanks bud. I'm not a sub ohm cloud chaser. Just a smoker trying to quit looking for the best battery life for my setup. Saw the protection as a positive. I have the sony 30amp for low ohm but I'm not into that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Now I want to change the title of this thread to include 6.5amp max. I guess guys building 0.6 ohm and lower coils would know better anyhow. If there is a way to edit titles let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richstag Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Haha, thanks. Its really no biggie. Watts is voltage squared divided by resistance. Amperage is wattage divided by voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just in case anyone was thinking of trying these DO NOT TRY THEM> They are too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
