They are quality batteries made in Japan by Panasonic, with their standards to maintain. Two days plus from them on my Vamo and I vape a lot. They seem to be getting a bit rare, I could get these a couple of quid cheaper a few weeks ago. If you want safe chemistry ones the Apollo cigs Panasonic ones are a steal. Supposed to outperform AWs for half the price.

The Panasonic CGR18650CG are good too, similar to the Panasonic CGR18650CH

I have these 3400mah Panasonic's too and they fit well. Pricier than the unbranded ones, but what price for safety ?

Instead of starting a new thread, thought I would ask this question here.

when you guys are not using your Vamo, Lavatube or any other device that takes 18650 type batteries. Do you just switch it off, or do you also remove the battery?

If it is gonna be off for a while I do, overnight for definate, lithium batteries have to be treated with respect

Safety, and batteries that live up to their capacity claims

Cheers Robby.
Overnight is when I have been removing mine so was wondering if I was being over cautious.

I dont remove them, just switch the Vamo off

I remove the battery from all my devices overnight.

I leave mine in and on, probs not the best idea but never had any issues to-date. I do however have them in a stand where there is now chance of them rolling and accidentally fireing. Just my in-put.

I`m thinking of drilling the holes in the wood and putting some plastic tubing into the hole. Gonna have to coat the wood with something, maybe a clear resin would do. It really is pretty old and rotton lol but it should look good with a bit of resin to seal it a bit.

Such a pain to find good 18350's at a reasonable price. Guess I'll be using my vamo in baseball bat mode when out and about.

I am glad I got one of my Vanos as a kit, it came with two of the small batteries, but unfortunately there dont seem to be any that have a proven higher capacity than 900mah. The ones in the kit work great though (the grey ones that you see)
