Ultimate battery tech?

[ChillerVapes]

Determined to find the very best battery for my LT (when I get the extender) I have been looking at the different battery technologies out there at the moment and have found the
LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC) batteries...
They seem to be amazing on paper, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried them or has any more info about them other than these sites I've looked at:
batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_based_batteries (look at the table about half way down)

and this:
www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&p=120265

if you google: LiNiMnCoO2 18650 buy

there seems to be a lot of eastern manufactures already selling them!

You can buy them on Ebay just search CGR 18650 CH battery.

Torchy has done them in the past but has none listed at the moment see HERE

What do you reckon, are they better than IMR?
You seemed to know quite a bit last time we spoke about batteries lol

Safercigs sell them www.safercigs.co.uk/-Panasonic_CGR_18650CH_2250mah/p705283_6977657.aspx

No not really, look at the discharge graphs on Torchy's ebay page, they are good but not as good as some.

Why do you think LOADS of people that have used them recommend AW IMR's?
It's because we have tried them and tried others as well and the AW IMR's do what we expect at a reasonable price and SAFELY.

Take the advice these people are offering

I've gone for cheaper options and yes they do work, for a while, and some of them for a while longer

But you cannot go wrong with AW batteries.

Honestly this vaping lark is a continual learning experience

I'd loved to have known then what i know now

But perhaps that's the fun, but money wise these guys know their stuff and they know shed loads more than me.

Go with it and enjoy

A few pence more and a decent vape beats cheapness all day long

I use exclusively AW IMR and the Panasonic CGR18650CH you have been pointed at. The Pannies get more use in 18650 size - they're reliable and solid.

i use the pannies too, excellent batteries, they just keep going and going....................worth the money

If you want Panasonics, Safercigs is probably your best bet. You will find them advertised on the net at all sorts of prices - in the USA they are about $8, but be suspicious of a very low price, there are lots of fakes about! The cheapest way to get AW's, provided you are buying a few, is to buy them direct from AW himself. His prices are here:

The IMR's are about a third of the way down the page - you have to take into account the postage and insurance charges, and of course the possible import charges. To buy them just e-mail him here:

They take about a week to arrive from Hong Kong.

you can get Panasonic CGR18650CH from here www.apolloecigs.co.uk/product-p/ab18650.htm bought 2 yesterday on offer at the moment £5.95 each

hey thanks for that, I didn't notice the "next page" button at the bottom of the accessories page lol
Did you get charged for postage? It says "this item qualifies for free postage" and yet they are trying to charge me nearly £4 for having it delivered! ???
