Am I doing this correctly? Or can I use them in both?

Hi everyone.

I have a quick question regarding the batteries for my mechanical mods. I have been keeping separate batteries for my regulated mods and also for my Mechanical devices, but I am not sure if this is needed or I can use a battery used in a mech in my regulated devices?

I have always followed safety regarding marriage, CDR, checking for torn casings and rewrapping torn casings, but I have never come across this myself.

So-can I use my batteries in my mechs and my regulated devices, or is it best I stick to dedicated batteries for mechs and regulated mods?

Thanks, Conan.

As long as the mech is a single cell mech, it doesn't matter. Assuming the cell's cdr is up to the task of your build of course.

A multi cell mech or regulated mod you would want to use same brand and model cells with close to the same resistance and actual capacity. If that's not possible, different name cells but close to the same resistance and capacity.

But it shouldn't make any difference mech or regulated.

One reason married cells are talked about is if you have 2 cells that you use in a series device but every once in a while use one of the cells in a single cell device and always that one cell, it will over time have less capacity and higher resistance than the other. So in that case you should alternate which one of the cells you are pulling for the single cell so they have close to the same hours on them and resistance & capacity stays about the same.

So for someone that can't test their cells every few months, they are better off just keeping a set married to a device.

Thank you, I always used married batteries of the same brand in my regulated devices and dual parallel mechs, although these batteries do get swapped between devices but never unmarried.

So, it seems I have a fair few batteries I can add into use for my Single cell mechs and regulated devices.

Thanks mate .

Thanks.
I understood in a series device, if you do unmarry batteries, the one with lower capacity will reach a lower voltage faster than the other cell, which is not good at all.

I always rotate my cells even though I don't divorce them lol, just always have done since I started to vape with my first series mod. Most of my cells are newer, a few months old at most, and I threw away 10 or so batteries, but I do still have one set that was purchased with the OG sig 150 around a year ago.

I gather internal resistance of these has risen, and CDR lowered, although they still last a fair time. However, I don't often vape at higher power(40W and under mostly). I doubt they would fare well in a higher power application-although when I get one of those chargers we spoke about I can actually tell the batteries internal resistance, plus their MAH in regards to a newer set.
