No, as stated earlier, the PLB-55 in all its forms are not a good choice because it’s too fat at 26.7mm. There are clear warnings about it’s size at MTN Electronics.
The links from HKJ require you to use the advanced post editor due to the spaces in the URL.
I don’t have much experience with Efest. I’m not sure if I trust them since the batteries under the wrapper can vary over time and their ratings are sometimes incorrect. So I’m very skeptical about that brand.
Well then he could get the Ijoy[D=26.22mm] 26650 4200mAh OR The Golisi[D=26.0mm] 26650 4300 mAh[least V sag of them all].The Shockli[D=26.0mm] 26650 4300 . That is not easy to get in the USA,especially at a good price.
The Ijoy is the most accessible of the Two. The Golisi is very expensive if you buy from a USA vape shop,would have to get it overseas!.
I checked out the Liitokala and it is also too big[D=26.8mm] according to HKJ’S review.
My hometown dealer[Liionwholesale] is out of the Ijoy.
I think his best bet is the Efest, either that or pay more money or wait and buy from China.
I know this does not help the OP,I am glad that I have the Catapult V6!! NO issues with battery size and great performance
Ok everyone. I have one Efest purple and it works great in the ODF30. I wasn’t sure where to find them, but now I do thanks to Wolfdog. Never heard of mahbattery.com before.
Hmmm, HKJ’s specs may be a little off or maybe the cells vary. My Liitokala cyan are about 25.3-25.4 and fit the ODF30 just barely. It’s a tight air seal. The cells slide in and out slowly due to tight fit, but they do fit.
Looks like they just sold out. They were in stock on the 5th when I recommended them in post 12.
I purchased four imren purple 4200 mah 26650 batteries at wholesale price locally at perfect vape warehouse, online they cost much more but I have had excellent results with these batteries in my ft03.
When you look at HKJ’s 26650 comparator, Shocklii 5500 vs shocklii 4300mah(green) graph look very weird. At below 15amp discharge, Voltage sag still in favour to the Shocklii 5500mah. But when it come to above 15amp discharge, the 4300mah(green) can handle heavy load. That why I change my mind, 5500mah look very strong for me….
Edit: its Shocklii 26650 4300mah (green) imho typo
I have the Sofirn HD 5000mah button top, it’s a normal size cell. Just a tad smaller in diameter than the Shockli 5500. I don’t know about the normal Sofirn 5500mah.
