Lava tube batteries

[dognero]

Just got my Lavatube today and have some Torchy FT 18650 2800mAh protected batteries and some Panosonic NCR 18650 MH12210 protected batteries.
None of these fit. ???
Can someone help me find a good battery that will fit.
Also dose it have to be protected?
Many thanks

those are good batteries but won't fit You don't need protected batteries in a mod that has it's own protection!

You could get a cheap mechanical mod for them

edited to add

these batteries will be fine in the nLT, get the 2000mAh ones the higher mAh ones won't fit

These are a decent budget alternative, but unfortunately oos

the mini LT uses 18350s

the full size LT uses 18650s

[dognero]

Now it fits
But is it safe?

[Brambles]

The LT has protection so your 'de-modified safe' battery will be safe in the LT.

[dognero]

Oh cool.
At least they are not wasted then.
Thanks alot

I wouldn't be modifying any battery and using it

In the grand scheme of things decent batteries aren't that expensive! Get the right one for the job, you're e-cig is too close to your mouth/face to be taking chances!

I have already modified my Lavatube received this morning by de-bumping the battery cap. The bumps are obviously to stop it rolling when placed on its side.

In this case the battery looks like a panasonic so is not a low quality battery so ok to do, as long as who is modifying it knows what they are doing. You are right though, not something to be generally suggested or recommended doing because there is sure to be someone who will do something wrong.

So, don't do it again dognero. B-|
