Mooch's Recommended Batteries

You are responsible for your own safety!

These batteries are designed, manufactured, and sold only for use in a battery pack with the proper protection circuitry and battery management system. They were not designed for vaping (electronic cigarette) use or for use without protection circuitry. Use of these batteries is AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of personal injury or property damage.


  • Only buy batteries from a known, trusted vendor of genuine batteries.
  • Never use a battery, charger, or device that is not in perfect working order.
  • The plastic battery wrap and top insulating ring must always be kept in perfect condition to prevent short-circuiting of the battery which can result in the battery bursting.
  • Never exceed the battery's continuous discharge rating (CDR) or charge rating.
  • I am not responsible for any damage or injury sustained by anyone using this information to select a battery.

Hey mooch. Thanks for all of your support and research in making the vape community safer.

I use a reuleaux 2/3 and typically use the 3 battery option, but once in a while I'll use the 2 battery option. The max wattage is 250w however I usually hover around 80-90w with a 0.12 ohm dual coil configuration. I've been using illiumn vtc4's and it seems they are having trouble charging this morning. So I think it's time to trash them and buy something new. What would you recommend? Vtc6's?

Also, do you have a recommended 18650 charger? I have a nitecore i4 charger, but the charging post broke from the first battery slot. Was wondering if there was something better, or if I should just get another i4?

Thanks!
 
Sir, my daily setup is asmodus minikin boost 155w. I'm using fused clapton so I'm vaping around 75w - 80w.
What's the best battery for my daily setup?
i need a battery with a great wrap quality because sometimes the wrap is broken within a month

Thanks!
 
I don't have any recommendations for a battery with a durable wrap as all weren't made for this kind of use. :)

Two battery mod?
At 80W you're running at 40W per battery and can use 30Q's, VTC6's, or HG2's.
 
Hey Mooch, I know you are busy doing your new videos and such, but your
Mooch's Recommended Batteries has said UPDATING THE TABLE for a while now. Any idea when you'll be done and have a new table for us?
 
I'm also looking for the table. Is there some reason we can't see the older one? I'm looking for a single battery I can run regulated in a hotcig RSQ at 80w (assuming it does the full 80w). Looking for maximum battery life. Are VTC6s ok or am I pushing my luck beyond 75w? HG2s and 30Qs appear to be the same so would I be better off with VTC5a? What wattage is it safe to run VTC5a up to? Thanks

ModBox,
As it says above, it’s being updated. A table with old recommendations I can no longer make is useless. :)

I hope in the next few weeks to have the table redone. Answering a couple hundred messages a day, doing the testing, doing the videos, doing the research....all of those are screaming high priority requests by lots of vapers. I’m trying to get them all done but being one person, just volunteering my time, means that things can take a while.

Why don’t you guys want to watch my videos? The second and third ones have recommendations.

Why not read the test reports for the batteries you’re considering? Everything that would end up in the table comes from the test reports. All the info for the table is still available.
