AW 18350 Battery..

[brig]

So I went out and bought 4 of these AW 18350 3.7 800mAh batteries for my lpg. I charged them up and checked them with the volt meter before putting them in and the meters reading 4.19v. Am I missing something here what's the deal... They are kick ass in my lpg mod though..

3.7V is only about 40% charge. 4.2V is 100% charge.

Are you talking about the .01 V loss? It could be due to machine error or the charger shutting down as soon as it hits 4.2 (hence 4.1999)

Not sure what your missing. What's the problem?
I just bought a couple of them to try. Good to hear your liking them !

I've had 2 since Nov. use in my Zmax mini, work great, will last about all day , that's heavy vaping for 8 to 10 hrs. for me.

What build do you have in it. I put a parallel micro 5 wraps and its causing the batts to drop off too quick. I've been rebuilding everyday trying to get it right...

Its 28g a1.

I'm using 26gauge, 2.5mm dia, 9 wraps, single coil @ .9.... Seems to do good so far. Using an smpl 350 tube, so the atty has direct contact with the battery. Very efficient.

***edit***
Pleasantly surprised how long this little battery is lasting. Went through about 4ml of juice and the battery was still sitting at 3.80v. Would be great if someone made a little box mod to fit two of these batteries.

Im gonna build that after work tonight and vape it tomorrow. Looks like its chucking pretty good.

How does the 18350 AW 800mah, compare to the AWT 800mah. ? The AWT's are 5 bucks, the AW's almost 9. I have 2 of the AW's I use in my V5, also have 4 Effest I use in my Zmax mini, they say 800mah , but don't last as long or seem to have the power of the AW's. I got them because they were on sale. If the AWT's are near as good as the AW's, I'll have to get 4 . Or can someone recommend a better and cheaper 18350 than the AW's ? Thanks, ordered another Zmax mini on sale, the one I got in Nov. has held up very well.
