Hey Kimbo, funny enough the one part I have settled on is the battery, I will definitely be getting the Efest purple battery.
Is there a difference between the 35a and the imr or are they the same battery?

Hey Kimbo, funny enough the one part I have settled on is the battery, I will definitely be getting the Efest purple battery.

@bwbwings that i cant answer, i just know get the purple 35a to be save. On the IMR i will let someone with more info comment
I am still a newbi
Same thing....it is a Efest (brand) IMR (safe, high drain chemistry) 18650 (size) 2500 mAh (capacity) 35A (surge discharge amps - continuous discharge amps are actually 20A) battery.
I think the 35 stands for amps, taking a look it seems like you get:
Efest 35A 2500mah and
Efest 20A 3100mah IMR,
Both are 18650
I am tempted to go for the higher mah but I hope someone with more knowledge can help.
Efest 35A 2500mah and
Efest 20A 3100mah IMR,
Both are 18650
I am tempted to go for the higher mah but I hope someone with more knowledge can help.
Nobody knows what the continuous discharge amps on the 3100 are, but if you do not go below 0.6 ohms on coils they should be perfectly fine.
The best batteries for the pitch black side of resistance are the Sony VTCs.
Hi @bwbwings -
It would appear that Efest is trying to market their batteries better by displaying the spike or surge current limit rather than the continuous current limit. As Andre pointed out, the surge limit is 35A but the continuous rating is 20A (these are all things I believe from reading up on it but have not tested it myself)
So the 3100 mah that has the 20A "surge current" limit - probably has a continuous rating of around 10A or thereabouts I am guessing.
I have both these batteries.
Obviously, the higher mah is better for longevity and the higher amps is better if you want to go very low on ohms and/or have a bigger safety margin.
I have found that the 3100 mah batts work perfectly in my 0.8 ohm and above builds. I have not gone lower than 0.8 ohms yet. They do last longer than the 2500mah batts. So my preference is the 3100 mah batts currently.
But if you go very low ohms, then for safety reasons, I would suggest the 35A ones.
Hey Andre, you can't go introducing new batteries now...
hehehe. I think I'll stay with the Efest for now and worry about others later. At least this is one part of the equation I have sorted out.
Haha, should probably change my name to "pyp" then.One would never guess that from your avatar
Hey Silver, thanks for this, I feel a bit more comfortable getting the 3100mah for now and look at others at a later stage
I started out on ce4 clearos and non variable ego batteries, used that setup for a year but smoked also. I was also on a pretty tight budget when I decided to go to the next step. I decided on the SVD with 2x samsung 2600mah 18650s and a Kayfun 3.1 clone, been using that setup since mid May and haven't touched a camel since, worth every cent. This combo is rattle free, rock solid and has a real quality feel to it. I run 28g kanthal coils between 1.2 and 1.5 ohms between 8 and 11 watts, sometimes as far as 12.5 watts on rare occasions when I need a little extra kick. I will religiously recommend this setup to anyone that wants a better vape than the ego starter kit set ups.
Hey Bumblebee, glad to see we are not the only one's going through this. Your words are encouraging that there is hope
I agree that everyone has their device that they love but on the whole there has been some awesome advice

I am in Fourways, work in Sandton. :S
Lol, like you did in your post above the quoted one. I know one cannot be totally objective, but I do try to give my advice according to the needs expressed by the original poster. Otherwise I would just be promoting Reos. And personal experience with a recommended device does give some credibility.
Hey Andre, I did pick up that you liked Reos but you had some awesome advice which I am extremely grateful for
That is beautiful, but you SHALL give him a few toots on the Reo as well!If you feel like a drive out here, you can try out
Not sure when I would be able to get out there but if you are gonna be at the Vape meet it will be great to meet and chat.
Thanks for the great offer
No problem man, I thought you might like to play around with it for a few days, and see for yourself.
Which reminds me @bwbwings - would you please insert your location in your personal settings.
Just a city/area is fine. Click on your name in the top right and choose personal settings.
It helps with lots of things on the forum
Lol, yeah exactly.... had to post that after I read my first post, we all do it to some extent
and on that note I still maintain that the SVD with the Kayfun on is the best combination.... (that I have personally experienced)
Well it is at least 142 times better than what I had

, did the whole zeemaps and everyhthing Is this better?
