Is this a suitable battery

[andybell]

Hi,

I'm not really up on what batteries I should use but I'm thinking of picking up an Xcube Mini, will this battery do the job?

I get em at staff price for just under a fiver.

If this won't do what should I get?

Thanks, Andy

No, no, no.
I wouldn't put them in a TV remote let alone a vaping device.
Buy genuine Samsung, LG or Sony batteries.

I think you'd probably need a flat top rather than a button (it may not fit) and you won't find anyone here that will recommend an Efest battery as they are re-wraps of unknown batteries, so impossible to say if it will be suitable.

That's a button top battery so it likely won't fit in a mod. Go to fogstar.co.uk or http://ecoluxshopdirect.co.uk/ and depending on how you intend to vape, get yourself some Sony VT4's or Samsung 25r for reliable high amp batteries or Samsung 30Q or LG HG2 for good 20 amp max cells with a bit more capacity (3000mah)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! contact this lad - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ilovetorchythebatteryboy/
And first of all - search forum and get familiar with 18650 batteries, safety first.

Without knowing how you intend to use the mod, I'd probably recommend these..

That's all I needed to know! Thanks for the info.

I'll stick with a know name.

Just planning on using it with a Cleito mainly between 40 - 50 watts

Seen the xCube mini for £25 locally so was just wondering about a suitable battery, all my other mods have had them built in.

I believe the xCube charges the battery, is this OK or should I consider a separate charger?

Separate charger mate.

I use the inbuilt charger on my eleaf istick TC60W when i'm running low and not at home with my lithium charger, otherwise they go in there.

You need 25A discharge rated batteries at least, I bought my LG's from fasttech for $9 for two 25A rated genuine cells. They came within 7 days by standard belgium post delivery (but at the present time I think batteries are being watched for so expect delays/them not to turn up from overseas!)
