Stick the coil cooking torch on it. If the flame is green, it certainly contains copper, if it's bright red it's probably strontium (In which case get a Geiger counter and check it), if the flame is bright yellow, you didn't wash your sweat off it first. Then look up flame spectra which ought to give some idea of what's in it.

The Vamo is notorious for 510 connector problems. There are fixes and workarounds - they aren't even that hard but. I have a V3 Vamo and the 510 appears to be made of the mystical Monkey Metal with all the strength of cheese. That said, it still gets used.
No knowledge of the amax.

I'd happily recommend too - definitely one of the good guys.

A decent 2 A charger will charge VTC4 3-4 times faster than a nitecore, EG Xtar SP2 and not a Efest LUC4. Even a 1 A like Xtar VP1 would be quicker. Wont that also shorten the overall lifespan of the cell too? It's really down to heat. The hotter the cells get, the shorter their life. Reckon on 3-500 full cycles or 3 years in general for 18650 cells. The higher the discharge rate (heat) and the higher the charge rate (heat) the shorter the life. The sort of high-amp cells we are talking about are designed round higher discharge rates so are unlikely to be negatively affected by the discharge rates vapers use. I'd put in a vote for the LG HE2 18650s - behave essentially the same as VTC4 cells and a bit more capacity. They hold their voltage better on heavy discharge and have more usable capacity IMO than the VTC4s. Most of my atomisers are between 0.5 and 0.2 ohms. I'm not going lower till I get a reliable resistance tester that can accurately measure hundredths of an ohm. |
