Howdy there (again)!

What do you mean by batteries? Are you referring to like.. An Ego or something with a fire button on it? Such as the iStick?

Or are you looking for physical batteries (for a mech mod or whatever)?

You need to be a bit more specific.

For replaceable rechargeable batteries (for a regulated and/or mechanical "mod"), you want safe chemistry, high drain batteries called IMR ( Li-Mn chemistry). Li-ion or ICR chemistry batteries (generally called "protected" batteries) are no longer used in vaping. Never use over-the-counter Alkaline batteries from hardware/electronic/department stores.

AW, Orbtronic, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony are reliable brand name IMR manufacturers. Ego batteries are Li-Po chemistry.

Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?

Where you buy your batteries can be just as important as which ones. Many unscrupulous manufacturers and vendors selling batteries these days. Buy only from reputable, trusted vendors such as RTD Vapor, Lighthound, Illumination Supply, or Orbtronics.

Hello vapers. what do wattages do with vaping? :)

I want to know which are the most reliable battery when it comes to vaping. TIA!


Watts is there measurement of output at the coil. Not to be confused with volts, which is the current supplied to the coil. Your voltage in conjecture with your coils resistance (ohms) gives you your wattage.
As to the battery question, I always recommend regulated mods for beginning vapers. Less risk with their built in protections. What you are looking for will affect which devices I would recommend. Look at the innokin products, like the new MVP3.0, the istick 30w & 50w are also great beginner devices with plenty of room to grow, all of which use internal batteries you charge through the device itself.
