You can get something like the Istick 100 watt (dual battery) for $20-$25 http://www.vapecrawler.com/results/Istick 100
2600 mah? Do you know which ones they were (can't think of any rated at 2600) ? I'm asking, because that's a pretty basic, reliable popular mod - so just trying to help so you don't run into the same issue with another one!
Thanks jaycub. That eliminates anything I've been thinking of selling, but it will help others know what you're after.
Gotta agree with Amanda on this. 50 watts is 50 watts, no matter which mod it is. Some mods can be a bit off, so if you set 50 it could be anywhere between say 45 - 55, but the watts are adjustable so you can set for the vape you want.
The only 2600 mAh LG batteries I found by Googling are LG 18650B3 and B4 like these at FT. They don't specify a max amp draw but I found it listed at 5 amps here. 5A will give you about 16 watts per battery. If you draw more than that from them they will have significant voltage drop and the mod may well not be able to output the power you set. These are typical of what's used in laptops and very likely not the safer chemistry found in the typical batts we use for vaping. These are the ones that burn when they're pushed too hard or shorted. I wouldn't vape them.
If it were me I would buy better batteries first and try the mod again. That might just fix the problem and batts are like $6 a pop.
these were the batteries. sorry for the confusion!
Samsung ICR18650-22F are pretty much the same as the LG I thought you might have. Max amp discharge is listed at 4.4 amps. Here's a review on Candle Power Forum. He tested to 7A and the plots don't look too bad, but if you're trying to draw 15A from them they are really going to suffer. Plus, these are ICR not IMR or some hybrid and these are the ones that burn when stressed too hard.
@Mooch has a great list of the typical batts we use. You can find it here. Any 18650 that's rated for 20A or more is a lot safer than what you're using and will perform much better for you to boot
Those are batteries from a laptop right (Samsung 22F)? I think the amps on those are very low. With better batteries you may find your old equipment performs just fine (Samsung 25Rs are good)these were the batteries. sorry for the confusion!
Yes they are also good! But be sure you get your batteries from somewhere reliable. I buy mine from www.liionwholesale.com - he tests all his batteries so you know they're not fakes.
