At 35 to 45 Watts you'll want more runtime (mah) as you would be well below the amp limits of majority of the batteries out there, the three models best for that runtime would be

The Samsung 30Q 3000mah, (Manufacturer rated at 15amps but Mooch has tested them and they can handle 20amps just fine, so you have some wiggle room up to about 60watts max)
The LG HG2 3000mah (Manufacturer rated 20amp, tested by Mooch about 18amps max, like the 30Q occasionally can be wiggled up to max 60watts)
The Sony VTC6 3000mah (Manufacturer rated 15amps like the 30Q, tested by Mooch 19amps Max, like the 30Q and HG2 max watts 60watts, these are pricier than the other 2 models, but they also hold voltage longer in the 3.7 to 3.9v median charge plateau and have less voltage sag)

75watts you really need 25amp Batteries which there are 4 Models

Highest Suggested is the Sony VTC5A (take note of the "A" as there is an older VTC5 2600mah that is only 20amps, the 5A has 5 more amps for a total of 25amps over its older brother, they are hard to find and pricey due their popularity)

LG has the HD2, HD2C, and HD4, and all are very nice 25amp batteries though their Mah ratings are in the 2000 to 2200mah range, where the previous VTC5A is in the 2500 to 2600mah rating range, if want to save some money the LG's will work just fine in the 75watts category for you.

Get batteries for the highest wattage you might vape. 75 watts is max on a 25 amp battery and probably okay occasionally but if I was routinely vaping at 75 watts I would use 30 amp batteries. Batteries degrade over time and can't safely handle the same max wattage new ones can.

Thank you so much!



Thank you for this. It definitely helped to understand more of what I am looking for in terms of run time and a also getting a better hit.

LG HG2-Sony vtc6-Samsung 30q
Whichever is cheaper, you won’t notice any difference in performance
Orbtronic or IMR one of those two places will be cheapest
Thank you, I have been looking at the sony vtc 6!

I doubt I will consistently vape at 75w. I will try it a few times but even on my cupti 2 I tried it's highest wattage at 80w but then stayed at no more than 45w or 450°f if in tc(I have now learned that it is safer to stay around 420°f or less).

If you"re only planning on dabbling at75 watts with no plans to spend all your vaping time that high you"d probably be just fine with the Sony vtc6 Sammy 30Q or LG Hg2
Thank you!

60 watts max is recommended for a 20 amp battery you are going to run all day. Your forays into 75 watts will be fine on a fully charged battery in the 20 amp range, then cut it back to your normal vape wattage after a couple of toots.
Thank you, a couple is really all I want to try!

If you're going to buy a mod with a single battery a 20700 or 21700 have a few good 30A batteries with more MaH. I just ordered 2 Golisi S35 21700 batteries Mooch has these rated for 30A and 3700MaH. Going in a Eleaf Istick pico 21700

This is good to know as I have looked into 21700! Thank you!
