Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with different 18650 batteries for my vape, right? And let me tell you, it’s a bit of a jungle out there. I started this whole thing because, honestly, I was tired of my vape dying on me at the worst times. So, I went on this little mission to find the best 18650 battery for vaping in 2024.
First, I hit up a few forums and read a bunch of reviews. You wouldn’t believe the amount of info out there! Some folks were saying to go for these high-capacity ones, like the Panasonic NCR18650G, which boasts a whopping 3600mAh. Sounds great, right? Longer vaping time, fewer charges, what is not to love? Then I learned about the LG INR18650-M36, which is almost as good with around 3550mAh.

But here’s the kicker: I also stumbled upon some warnings. Apparently, you shouldn’t just grab any 18650 battery, especially those from old laptops or power banks. And I used to do that! Turns out, they’re not built for the kind of power vaping needs. They’re these ICR types, which have low current capability and are generally just not safe for vaping. It is a big NO-NO!
Then I heard about Molicel. I got some Molicel 18650 batteries and tried them. What I realized is that they’re pretty awesome, especially the P28A model. It is said that they’re reliable and deliver power better than some other big-name brands. I put it in my vape and, man, what a difference! The power delivery was smooth, and it felt like my vape was performing at its best. I’ve been using this one for a while now, especially when I’m going for those high-wattage vaping sessions. I love the feeling and I know I will not be disappointed by sudden death of my vape.
- Tried high-capacity batteries: Started with Panasonic and LG, but learned they weren’t the best fit for my needs.
- Avoided wrong batteries: Discovered that laptop and power bank batteries are a no-go for vaping.
- Found Molicel: Tested the P28A and was impressed with its performance, especially for high-wattage vaping.
So, after all this experimenting, I realized that the Molicel P28A is a solid choice for my vape. At least, it works like a charm for me. It is the best for me!
It’s been a journey, but totally worth it. Now, I can vape longer without constantly worrying about the battery dying on me. Plus, I learned a lot about battery safety along the way, which is super important.
