There’s been some talk regarding the newly announced G-King graphene 18650 battery and I’ve been getting some questions about its capabilities. Here’s a video for it…

The most important thing to be aware of when watching this video and/or reading the press releases is that the 4800mAh battery they refer to and demonstrate is a battery pack, not an individual cell. The individual 18650’s used in the pack are rated at 1100mAh and 5.5A. You can see this in the video when they show several of the blue cells.
You can also see that these cells have a nominal voltage of 3.2V versus the 3.6V/3.7V nominal voltage of the cells we normally use when vaping. This means that they can’t be used in a regulated mod because it would very quickly signal weak battery due to the low voltage.
So while graphene batteries hold great promise for high-capacity, low to medium-amp batteries in the future the 18650 G-King 1100mAh, 5.5A battery isn’t a great choice for vaping with right now.
