Hey guys, how y'all doing?
Is a couple of Panasonic 2500mah's good enough for the sigelei 150w or should I go higher?

GO HIGHER

Right-O. Isn't that the same? What if I go higher? eg 3500

No, it's not the same. Although the mAh is the same the batteries CDR (continuous discharge rating) are different. As far as safety goes, amps are king.

The mAh stands for milli-Ampere-hours and indicates how much electric charge the battery can provide. The higher the mAh, the longer your battery will last before it needs charging.

However, you must first choose a cell that has enough amps for the highest wattage you will be vaping at. Below is how you calculate it.

Here are links to some of Mooch's battery blogs:

• There are no 18650 batteries with a genuine rating over 30A!
• Battery pulse ratings are useless!

Thanks Susan-s, I got more than enough info from your post. This is great. Lol, I need to think before I type! I still don't understand how LG would supply 36a 28650 with their brand name on them.

That is not LG making that claim, it's the vape shop printing the "pulse discharge rating" in the items description.

LG, Samsung & Sony do not print the CDR or PDR on any of their cells.

If you want a UK supplier, check out "Torchythebatteryboy". He has a presence on UKVapers with a very good reputation for quality and service.

Torchy (big_f_d_d on eBay) and Ecolux (ecoluxshop | eBay) on eBay are trusted vendors.
