Zmax Battery

[CaptainChaos]

Hi everyone,

I've got the Sigelei Zmax & jolly good it is too (thanks lairey ) ....

The batteries that came with it were (both Sigelei) 1 x 900mAh 18350 battery and 1 x 2200mAh 18650 battery.

Now then, the smaller battery fits in lovely and it the Zmax looks lovely to hold & vape, but when I stick the longer battery in, after unscrewing the middle telescopic bit, it doesn't 'feel' anywhere near as nice.

Can I get a shorter battery but with higher mAh to put in it, so I get longer vape time with having to unscrew the thing?

Any ideas very welcome as always

No sorry, the limitation for 18350's is about 700 - 800 mAh.

Any that claim to be higher are telling porkies.

18500 batteries CaptainChaos

Longer than the 18350, shorter than the 18650 and a capacity somewhere between the two Torchy does some 18490s, clicky   These are IMRs so safer chemistry and come with a case

If you put in 18500's they are only marginally higher capacity and you'll lose the smooth look.

Ah well, never mind.

Maybe I could just get another device that is all in one piece with a longer battery

Vamo will take the 18650s

Oh no! Not another mod. The vamo would be a good buy to use your 650 in mind you.

[CaptainChaos]

You know, hijack- I was thinking exactly the same - all I wanted was a bigger capacity battery & what happens?

They're now TELLING me to get another mod ....

The Vamo IS quite nice though.

On the other hand, I could just buy more of the smaller battery, then my Zmax will continue in the shape that I like

Efest do a 900MaH battery, I just bought THESE off Torchy CaptainChaos

"Efest 18350 unprotected, one of the highest capacity 18350 on the market. Actual tested capacity 878mAh."

EDIT: Changed link to the 'Unprotected' batteries

[CaptainChaos]

Thanks cHooBeyDoo - have they been reviewed/tested anywhere?

They sound pretty much the same as those ^^^^

Pretty much as far as I can gather, just the gold ones will maybe last slightly longer.
I also have 2 of Torchys own 850 MaH 18350 batteries and they do last slightly longer than the 800 MaH Efests, so I think the gold ones would last a little longer.
I did send him a message asking if they would be OK to put in my Vamo and if they would last longer than his ones, the message he sent back was:

'I think they would be pretty similar with the Torchy (850 MaH) possibly lasting slightly longer. The EFest can deliver a higher current without tripping the pcb'
