Which batteries?

[Pepperty]

I heartily recommend Torchy.

I tentatively placed my 1st order yesterday, followed instructions on UKV and paypalled to his paypal and wrote in notes what I was ordering and within a few hours I had a personal reply and confirmation of order.

and torchy sends out his batteries in a plastic storage case
and I wouldn't give purple efests storage space I would bin them straight away
I value my safety and the people around me to much to consider purple efests

Purple efests seem to be fine in tests, not as good as the sonys but haven't come across anything dangerous. What do you know that I don't?

@scooby - I did actually mean purple efest - but gave the link to the IMR - which are anyhow supposed to be one of the best - but that's up to the experts to decide

and thanks for pointing it out

I tested a lot of defective purple efests at work and from what I saw I wont have a purple effests in my house the test results I did proved this I wouldn't have them in my bin

I wish I could publish the test results but I am not allowed so just trust me buy a different battery steer away from purple efests

[Q]

I trust you ronaldo so which of torchy's batteries WOULD you recommend?

torchys own are fantastic so are his Panasonics but if you want to sub ohm then the sonys are best

[Q]

I've got no fascination with sub-ohming, nor cloud chasing, I just want to vape.

Just 18350's for a mech mod

[ronaldo]

I would go for torchys own then very good prices and the price is for 2 as well

Can someone please confirm/remind me....

I want to order some more batteries, now idf my memory serves me right I need protected batteries for a mech mod and unprotected for a vv/vw, is that right?

also how do I know if I need flat top or button top?

and lastly... I was looking for 18350 so I can use my mods in a 'shorter' mode but I cant find them on Focalecig, dont they sell them Foclecig or am I not looking in the right place (I'm presuming after yesterdays message that Focal are now able to ship batteries to the UK again)

One day I'm going to know all these things and stop asking questions

Hello Q,


Unfortunately, we have stopped selling lithium batter due to China customs restriction Hope you could find better answer from some else.

For a mechanical mod, I highly recommend either efest red imrs or aw imrs. Just make sure they're from a reputable vendor.

no need for protected (ie. A cell wiith a pcb board affixed to the top) as long as you have a way to test your coils(multimeter)

[Q]

Just had an email chat to Torchy I asked what would be the best batteries for a Vamo and this is the advice he has given:

Hi Bernie,

normally flat tops are a safe bet except for Provari. At 1.4 ohm, good ICR should give the best vaping time.

To which I replied

I was told that ICR's are less safe than IMR.
What are your expert thoughts on this, I want to get it right.

and his answer to this is:

Its a myth that IMR are safe chemistry. They can deliver a higher current than ICR and consequently don't heat up to the same extent at the same current.
The Panasonic NCR batteries incorporate over current, short circuit and thermal protection, so in my opinion are safer than any IMR battery.

So there you have it, from the horses mouth

i know i need some new batts for sub ohming and sorry for pinching the thread but what ones from torchy ;p
and as i being cheaky whats a good attie for making clouds as i want to use it to escape the wife

[Q]

Easiest to ask him yourself [e-mail]

[hijack]

Q The Panasonic NCR which Torchy was referring is on my list of recommended batteries battery buying guide and is not the same as a standard ICR.
Torchy himself has a IMR section on his site torchy 'IMR safe chemistry batteries' Although he doesn't 'not recommend' ICR he does say IMR can deliver higher current avoiding thermal build-up.
Im probably over cautious when being asked to recommend a battery and am trying to recommend the safest battries I can think of.
