Hi,

It's been a long time since I posted.

Can someone please recommend a good UK vendor for 18650 batteries please?

Also, does anyone know where I can still get a new eVic VTwo Mini? I know it's a really old mod. But I really like using it and my current one is battered.

Regards
SB

And given this requirement, can you recommend a cell from this list of 18650s?

https://www.nubattery.co.uk/18650-batteries

Mooch has rated all of the Molicel batteries highly. The P30B is nice.

Molicel P30B 3000mAh 30A £7.49

Samsung 25R 2500mAh 20A £4.69 - if looking to save some money. Mooch rated those highly as well.

I have some of each. They perform nicely.

Plug in your values at Steam Engine ... Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law works for Mech Mods. But you need Watt's Law for Regulated Mods to Evaluate the Amp Draw at the Battery.

To see things in action , Go Here... Battery drain | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators and set things to "regulated (APV)" and "power regulation"

Notice how Battery Amp Draw is dependent on Wattage the Mod is set to Output and what the Battery Voltage Level is when the User pushed the Fire Button.

Lower Battery Voltage causes a Higher Battery Amp Draw.

I remember the theory but the the maths I forget, I'd also forgotten about steam engine. As the voltage in the battery decreases the mod pulls more and more amps from the battery to maintain the wattage. Hence you need to know how many amps you are pulling when reach your personal battery voltage minimum, and make sure the cell can support that current draw,

I've used 25Rs before and found them to be seriously lacking.
I've been using Molicel P28s for a long time. I use a single battery mod with a pair of them in constant rotation, and they don't last more than a year which I suppose is ok. The P30B is supposadly a 30amp cell, I need half of that, surely I could scarifice some of that amp draw for more amp hours no?
The Sony VTC6 looks to be a good match for me.

No one has commented on the eVic mod, and I would surprised if they did. The last one I bought was new old stock and that was about three years ago. Probably got no chance of finding one now.
Perhaps I could ask for suggestions on a modern replacement?
Single battery regulated mod thats good up to 50 watts, no temp control just wattage. Needs to have a really firm battery door, loose wobbly doors drive me nuts. Tidy, small simple, tough, I love to drop a mod.

Yeah... That how it works. Watt's Law is => Watts = Volts x Amps

But why do the Amps increase when Voltage decreases?

Because if we apply a little Algebra, we can rewrite Watt's Law as... Amps = Watt's / Volts

Notice now that Amps is a Quotient. The result of Dividing One thing by Another. The Result of a Fraction. And anytime the thing on the bottom of a Fraction gets Smaller, the Quotient gets Larger.

Anyway. That's the Math Backstory.

As to an eVic VTwo Mini. I think the Only place you are going to find one of those is behind a Velvet Rope in a Vape Museum. LOL.

As for something a little More Current, You might check out an Innokin Coolfire 80or a Coolfire 80 NEX. I'm kinda out of touch with what's out there. But I'm pretty sure the Coolfire 80 is still being made.

Hi mate,

How about the Jac Vapour Series B to replace the Evic?


JACNEW10 = 10% off for new customers.

Cheers
