Hey guys does anyone know if Li-ion 18650 batteries are okay to use in a voopoo drag 2 and will charge with a nightcore i2 charger

Welcome to ECF, Whitneyb97x. I'm not familiar with that mod, although I have heard it mentioned a lot around here. I know for sure though that that charger will charge 18650's.

edit: after browsing thru this results page - "voopoo drag 2" at DuckDuckGo, that mod accepts 18650's.

Depends upon which Li-ion Li-ion batteries you get. Li-ion batteries are not all created equal. They can have different chemistry and specifications.

We generally recommend using only the major brands of 18650 batteries made by Lg, Samsung, or Sony. Anything else is likely to be a "re-wrap" or rebranded battery of questionable quality. Are You Using a Rewrap (Rebranded or Aftermarket) Battery?

It's also important to purchase your batteries from a reputable and trusted supplier to avoid getting counterfeits.

When choosing which batteries to use for a regulated mod, take into consideration how many watts you vape at and the amp rating of the batteries.


Are you using a single, dual, or triple battery mod? In the interests of keeping things simple:

-If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.

-If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, you're good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.

-If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.

-If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts.​

Welcome to the forum. It looks like you got some excellent answers already. I'll only add to make sure you keep the pair "married" meaning they are a set that always discharge and charge together.

That doesn't seem like a common batt. Is it for older mods?

Pretty sure that's a typo. He meant 18650.
