Advice needed - longer lasting 18350 batteries?

[loobiebloo]

Recently I have been sorely tempted by beautiful things and now have several mods which require 18350 batteries (and 14500!).  I do understand that little batteries can't last as long as big batteries but there is so much talk on here of battery life that I thought I would ask the question because some may be better than others.

I will be interested in this thread loobiebloo as I am using 18350's at the mo and have found the only way to extend battery life is to have 2 lol.

I top want miracle batteries
I bought a pair of efest batteries, protected, from touchy boy on eBay - they are 800mAH which is highest I could find for protected 14500

Hi Pepperty, I assume your 14500s are for the Cube (one of my beautiful things)? The ones I've got are 700 mAh so improvement is definitely possible. Good!

The largest (true and widely available) capacity of an 18350 battery is 800 to 900 mAh.Anything more than this stated as a battery capacity of this size is probably not true. I have around 6 18350's that I cycle through 2 AW IMR's and 4 ICR batteries.

I don't find that the ICR's last any noticeably shorter length of time so considering their price I'd use them again, HOWEVER they are not "Safe Chemistry" like the AW IMR's (or Efest's) so the ICR's are not recommended for use in Mech Mods.

So buy from a good Vendor like Vape Escape or Safercigs or any other that can assure you that their batteries are genuine, or for a slightly better deal buy from Torchy on Ebay or buy direct from hi on UKVapers (10% less than Ebay).

Yes and it's an improvement by a fair bit on the 700 aw imr pair I had ( but they could be rip off? As was rushed eBay buy)

For batteries I'll now only buy from touchy or reputable sites, thinking on I decided not to penny pinch when our come to batteries

[Pepperty]

...... damn you autocorrect. I meant 'torchy' NOT ' touchy' ooops

Thanks for that, Pepperty, I bought a pair of Efest and they don't last very long at all - need to give Torchy a try (have only heard good things about him) but waiting for answers on the 18350s as there seems to be a lot more variety there.

Torchy is reliable for Batteries, discount on UKV, AND he knows LOADS about Batteries, NOT all Batteries are good for Vaping MODs
