Vamo battery help.

[Roscopecotrain]

Just found this on UKV "Torchy 2400mah 18650s fit no probs" so they come in slightly cheaper now as free postage.

Every penny counts.

The Torchy batteries have a good reputation. I think I'd go for his IMR ones to put in a Vamo though - I'm not sure what current drain his 2400 ones will take and you want a battery that will cope with a reasonable high drain rate for a VV device. Also the IMR have the advantage of safer chemistry - oh and they are £1 cheaper lol

Would i see much of a difference in the time they last from the torchy 2400mah and the torchy imr 2000 mah ones.


Sorry for so many questions just on a tight budget and want to get it all right.

That is the ones dave recommended brysoni, think i will go with them just to be on the safe side and slightly cheaper too.

How long do you find they last in your Vamo between charges?

I think i could get more out of mine but when i get in from work i always forget to charge the dead battery and it only gets a few hours charge instead of fully charging it.

I've ordered two of each size BUT need a decent charger cos someone said the one in the vamo kit is pants. I'm well confused but will work it all out when I get it

The IMR ones are 2000mAh - so I guess they would last at least a day for most people, but of course it depends how much you vape and at what voltage. In theory, the 2400mAh would last a bit longer, but they are a different chemistry and how they would cope in a VV device I don't know. These capacity measures though assume you run the battery right down to 3 volts or less which you couldn't do in the Vamo - you probably wouldn't go much below 3.5 volts, so the capacity to that level may not be so different between them.

Well worth getting a decent charger, probably the best bets at a reasonable price are the Xtar or the Nitecore - lots of vendors do them and I believe there are a few good deals around.

+1 for the Xtar WP2 charger
