Hello all Vamo Battery Question

[stu]

Just a Quick Hello to all

i have a quick question as well

i have got a Vamo on order hope it will arrive soon and was wondering whether these batteries would work in it ??? if the ratted mAh is correct hopefully they should last for a couple of days

Thanks for any help Stu

Hello & welcome Stu

Although I think those batteries will most likely work in the Vamo, I really find it hard to believe they are 4900mAh

mmm interesting to see what these are like, ive just orderd some .

no ive changed my mind and taken the advice from aae-c, don't fancy burning my house down

Stick with known vendors and recommended batteries such as Efest, AW & SennyBor Also IMR are a safer chemical composition Li-Mn. If getting Li-Ion then try to get protected batteries.

There are many vendors on the board that might seem more expensive but they will probably work out cheaper in the long run.

There are also many more trusted vendors on this site !

I've recently taken delivery of an eFest 18659 3200mah from VapeEscape and it's brilliant. Lasts almost 2 days with moderate vaping, and fits really snugly, with no rattle. Would order another one with no hesitation (but with a bit more in my bank account!). Having said that, it wasn't expensive, and should last a good few months.

Thanks for the suggestions and the links i am having a rethink about what to use in it

If you do buy from Vapeescape (don't forget code 'allabout' for discount)

These are good but the 3400mAh 18650 is slightly too fat, the 2000mAh 18650 will be fine

just to break the VE monopoly momentarily, the efest 2250mah here fit a vamo perfectly and have personally been in solid use each day for a month now.

(PS: I love VE but wonder when this forum will be renamed AAVEC ... that's a vote of confidence by the way)

there are discount codes for LF kicking around

The charger on the same site states it should only be used for li ion batteries so does that mean u need to get an imr battery charger or am I just being thick

Ash, could you post a link to those? I'm not sure that the op will know who LF are, plus their website can be a bit difficult to navigate at times, although that could just be me

VE had already been mentioned on this thread and Stu seems to want large capacity batteries, don't we all? So I thought it prudent to post up the link and state that others had found the larger 18650s from VE too big!

modified ... its the wine ... and yes .... navigating their website is difficult

Ah crossed posts Ash, you must have edited while I was posting, thanks for the link

IMR are a type of li-on battery, just don't use the charger for your normal household batteries that you buy in Tescos or Homebase

That's the vape escape site
