dumb question

[decoy]

yep i know its been asked before but not quite in this way

what would be the highest wattage chip you can run off a 18500 batt

i have a cunning plan

[VapingBad]

ConstDisCghRate x 2.5 gives a little head room as the boards lose up to 10% in inefficiency and the battery sags,
so 10 A = 25 W, 20 A = 50 W, 22 A = 55 W, 30 A = 75 W.

i dont know, but i wouldnt take them over 20watts, just to keep the battery life at a decent time frame, can reccomend the yellow awt 18500 batts. there very good

[phtumshk]

torchy was selling a couple of 20A 500s for a tenner.
Only 1100mahs though.

kinda want to run a dna 40 off one but only if its safe

I have no idea, just wanted another look at dem lush knees

so they would be ok for dna 40?

The AWs look good to go.

I can't find any good info in them, same when I tried for an IMREN 18650, Torchy shows a graph of them being tested at 20 A, but I doubt that is the CDC rating and suspect they are the same or similar rewraps as the EFest Purple, but that is just a guess.  Ripshod may know more, but if it is as Evolv board it will reject the batteries if the voltage sags too much so you would be OK and just get shorter vape time at high watts.

[smarties]

Come on decoy spill the beans

[Ripshod]

There are no good reviews that I've seen for any Imren batteries. lygte-info.dk haven't tested them, neither have I. The fact Norbert at Ecoluxshop doesn't sell them speaks volumes for me. For whatever reason they failed to impress.

Bloody good in torches tho

[phatfil]

fwiw i got some awt imr18500 3.7v1299mah 18a (yellow skin) batteries for my zna30 clone after seeking advice in here and have found them very good.
i can get a (working) days vapeing out of one battery no problems.. tho rarely push them beyond 20-25w on the mod.

tbh i always carry spare batts so run time is not to much of a biggy
exploding mod is
im hoping the price of the 40 watter drops a wee bit now the big boy is out and they add the titanium wire to it

and am i right in thinking i can wire in 2 fire buttons to the dna

You could wire 2 in parallel, you can take the cap off the on board button to save space, but if you take it off you have to bridge the contacts as it is part of the circuit.
