Best batteries for SMOK TFV12

[AMOB79]

Hi all:

I’m somewhat new to this whole vape thing, but I’m very concerned with battery safety. Currently, I’m running a Wismec RX GEN3 box mod with a smok TFV12 tank. I am currently using 3 LG HG2 batteries at 100watts. Is this safe? Should I be using higher amp-rated batteries? I’m considering switching to the LG HB6 battery, even though it has half the capacity. Help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

With a 3 battery mod you’re good at 100w. 45-60w per battery for 20amp cells. With your 3 battery mod you’re good up to 135-180w. A 2 battery mod will do 90-120w, or thereabouts ymmv

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn’t ever plan on going past about 130 or so. Makes me feel better.

So what battery would you recommend if I every wanted to try to go up to 300 watts?

I wouldn't, there is no reason to go up to 300 watts.

Apart from the complete impracticability of that power level, there are no three 18650s on the market capable of safely providing it.
The HB6 30 amp battery is good for 90 watts, so with 3 batteries you could hit 270 watts. But due to the high power demand and the HB6 only having 1500 mAh your run times would be very very short.

There aren’t any. The problem is they build to claimed amp ratings rather than real ones and there are rewrappers out there claiming they have 40amp batteries that are simply lying

Agreed on two points: you aren't going to get 300 watts safely using any 18650 and the larger batteries the 27 series are pretty new to the scene and also have been shown to be pretty variable in testing Mooch has done so far.

Also, I highly doubt (although anything's possible) that you'd necessarily enjoy/need a 300 watt vape. Not only do I find it hard to think anyone would enjoy consistently running that wattage, the amount of juice, batteries, and even overstressing mods just make it a both risky and wasteful practice, I'd think.

Is there a particular reason you want to vape 300 watts?

I don't necessarily WANT to vape at 300 watts. I was just wondering if there existed a battery that could handle this. You fine folks have answered that for me. I'm currently vaping at 90 watts, BTW, and that's plenty for me.

Not very pocket friendly...

(Don't use this at home, kids.)

I’ve considered doing a hookah mod involving one of those

Welcome and glad you joined.
I have provided a little more information which might help choosing/evaluating batteries.

Hi and welcome. Perfectly safe with the HG2s. That's what I use in my RX200s. Not tat I vape anywhere near the mod's capacity for wattage. But yeah, three of them should be good out past 150 watts anyway.
