Battery amp limit and regulated mods

[mimöschen]

25A are recommended for the mods max wattage. If you stay below 60W, a 20A battery is perfectly fine.

Is the LG MJ1 10A 3500mah a safe alternative for my situation?

No, stick with the 25R

If the specs talk about wattage ranges, then it's regulated.

I have a similar question. I'm using a joyetech Evic Primo Mini mod like the one in this link. I assume it's a regulated mod but I don't really know.
Joyetech™ eVic Primo Mini Starter Kit (w/ ProCore Aries) - Vapor Authority

I'm currently using a Samsung 25R 20A 2500mah battery but I'm considering buying a different battery with a higher mah rating and a lower amp rating in hopes that I'll get a little bit longer run time between charges.

The battery that I want to switch to is a LG MJ1 10A 3500mah but I'm not sure if it's safe for my mod and my vaping habits. The photo below is a page from the Joyetech owner's manual for my mod. It says that I should use a battery with a CDR greater than or equal to 25A.

I vape almost exclusively at 14 watts but when I do change my wattage I never go above 18 watts.

Is the LG MJ1 10A 3500mah a safe alternative for my situation?

It would be more-or-less safe as long as you are very careful never to exceed your usual wattage, but it really wouldn't help you much. The 10A batteries are what people were talking about earlier, where the sag tends to negate the extra capacity. The actual performance isn't really any better than with a 20A battery.

As for the owner's manual, you would want a 25A (or 30A) battery if you were going up to higher wattages. As long as you stay well below 45 watts, you're fine with a 15 - 20A battery like the Samsung 30Q, the 25R you're using now and a few others that have been recommended. You could use a 15 - 20 A 3000 mAh battery (30Q, LG HG2, Sony VTC6) to get a little more capacity than the 25R, but I have to say that I've found the difference to be pretty minimal.

Thanks for the replies, folks. I'll stick with the 25R that I'm using now.

I'm trying to learn this battery stuff but I'm still not confident enough to buy them without seeking advice first. I appreciate the help very much.
