battery/mod question

[saltysharktoes]

would a 900mah 3.7v box mod work better than a 900mah ego battery for low resistance attys..specifically around 1.5 ohm, or would getting a 5v mod, or batteries with more mah be better? im new to mods..

Wow, I'm surprised nobody has answered this yet. Doesn't seem like the right section of the forum for this question... But as far as I know the answer is that an eGo is never actually putting out the whole 3.7 volts, more like 3.4 or less, but any li-ion/imr should come out of the charger at around 4.2v, maybe around 3.8 or so under load, meaning that is what the atty/carto would be getting. So yes, a box mod will "work better" than an eGo.

Also, mah = time between charges, so more mah = longer runtime between charging. Though the 2000mah batts such as I use will also hold a higher voltage for longer, as compared to a 900mah which will experience faster voltage drop.
