Batteries for Vamo v5- Help Please

[buliwyf]

Could any one point me in the right direction as to which batteries to get for my Vamo v5 , i am confused about flat tops/nipple, Protected /Unprotected, 18350/18650. High drain and other specs. Any trusted links?

Thanks

buliwyf Ive got efest red high drain button top in mine . Thats what myepack sell with the vamo kit so I would guess they are the right sort
Ive got both 18650 and 18350 , long mode and short mode . 18650 last better but not so pocket size.

Hi buliwyf and to AAEC........ you might want to take yourself over to the New Members section first and introduce yourself where you may get more answers and some lovely welcomes too.

I may be the wrong person to give advice about batteries but here goes.....

You want UNPROTECTED for the Vamo, 18350 in short mode and 18650 in extension mode (not sure about flat top myself but I use button top in mine) and I use Efest and Torchy (Ebay).

Thank you all for the help. Are the 18650's too long to carry about in my trouser pocket? How many hours would the 18350's vs the 18650 last on normal vaping. A vision 1300 lasts me 2 days from fully charged. Torchy's look

I get 8 hours out of panasonic 18650's not sure what rating is, and 4 hours from 18350's of a fire name i dare not mention, as for trousers pocket, depends if your looking for female admirers or not, not worked for me yet lol

You should NEVER carry LiIon batteries loose in your pocket! As many (me included) will affirm, I burnt my leg when some coins shorted the battery, the coins burnt my leg and the battery got pretty hot too, if you short a LiIon battery it could vent.

You can carry them in a battery case, or in your device, good vendors will supply a case with your batteries.

18650's are 65mm long and 18350's are 35 mm long (see the correlation in the number and length?)

18350's last me 4 - 5 hours

18650's last me over 12 hours (I have some Panasonic 3100 mAh batteries)

But it all depends on how much you use one, what power you run at and the resistance of your coil, the bigger the mAh the longer running time, but be careful some high mAh rated batteries are too long or too fat to fit in some mods. However Vamo's have some of the biggest battery tubes on a Mod.

DO NOT buy batteries with "FIRE" in the name, they are usually over stated in their mAh rating.

I've probably got the same pannys DiscoDes. Took a while for them to get up to capacity, but now would last a day and a half if I pushed them.

Thanks DiscoDes, I never knew that. probably saved me some harm. i just noticed on ebay there are some18500, Do u have any idea about them? Is this between 18350 and 18650? Would they fit in my V5?

No they would not fit a Vamo V5.

You get 2 tubes, one for a 18650 and one for an 18350 with a Vamo.

TBH the 18500's are not much of a step up from a 18350, maybe 1000 mAh

No they won't fit buliwyf as you've guessed 18490/18500 batteries are mid size between the other two, so they won't fit your Vamo.

I've found these 18650's to be good in my Vamo's:

Thank you for the help, i'll go for the 18650 protected. Flat or nipple top doesn't matter for a V5, correct?

nonono...... UN-protected batteries in a vamo. Electronic mods have protection built in to the device, if you use protected batteries in them, both protection circuits can "fight each other" for want of a better expression, and the device won't function properly like that.

Flat or nipple, either is ok in a vamo.

lol GunJack.........loud and clear, Thank you
