I'm sure it was 52 shades but could be wrong ? he was odd though like some other people I know

[CaptainChaos]

You know my brother?

[wibble]

[CaptainChaos]

I had my 900 MaH Efests delivered today and they are slightly taller than the normal ones

Didn't know it was slightly taller.

Here's the comparison:




Tried the 900 MaH in the Vamo, all works OK and the cap screws in fully, but only just.
Tried it in the Cool Fire 1 and all works OK, the cap screws in but you can just see a little of the thread although nothing to worry about.
Tried it in the Cool Fire 2 and all works OK, the battery cap screws in but not all the way and is jutting out about 2mm.

Not 100% sure but didn't think you could /should use protected batteries in a vv/vw mod ? hijack will know for sure

Why are you using protected batteries in a regulated Mod??

[cHooBeyDoo]

The Cool Fire (from Myepack) came with the protected and from what i've heard/read I didn't think it mattered

[hijack]

I did read that vv/vw mods didn't like protected batteries because of the added protection circuit in the battery.
My feelings are to use unprotected IMR or hybrid batteries in all mods. But I know more experienced vapers are happy to use protected ICR and know the batteries limits that they are using.

OK, thanks for the knowledge, wish i'd known before .
I should probably get some unprotected for my VV/VW mods to be on the safe side (pardon the pun) although i've been OK thus far, better to be safe than sorry I suppose.

Personally I would stay with the red efest ! Think the difference of amount of usage time is nominal , your vv/vw mods already have built in protection so no need really to use protected ones just my humble opinion

OK, slightly worried now by a couple of the above comments but thanks for the knowledge, wish i'd known before .

Ah, good spot, didn't realise to be honest
Should get my act together really
At least I have a couple of protected batteries for any Mech mods I buy in the future

[cHooBeyDoo]

Just looked back over my Ebay account and it seems I bought the wrong one's in the first place
Should of bought THESE instead, what a numpty

[hijack]

Those are the ones you got aren't they cHooBeyDoo?
