Batteries and box mods

[sumiquatchim]

I am going to be buying a 50 watt device. Runs on one 18650. I will be chain vaping (2 puffs per minute) at 25-30 watts. I will be needing a battery and a charger that will last me about 2 years. How many batteries should i buy and also what charge 4 bay or 2 bay?

At that wattage and vaping frequency, I'd get at least three 2100 - 2600 mAh, 20 - 30 amp IMR batteries, and a 4-bay charger. Use the batteries in a rotation. Not sure they will last a full two years, but they should last at least a year.

Evolve, the manufacturer of the DNA boards, recommends using a high drain battery with at least 12 amps continuous discharge rate.

If you actually keep up the pace and wattage you've stated in the initial post all day my guesstimate would be 3 to 4 batteries a day and maybe even 5. I go through 1 sometimes start on my 2nd one per day using a 1.2 ohm build at < 15w using a VTC 5 and I'm far from a chain vapor, several times throughout the day won't hit it for 30min or more.

Unless the story has changed, I highly suggest NOT using those batteries for anything mod related.

Apparently they are rebranded Panasonic 18650BE.
