When choosing what battery to use in a mod, one must consider the application in which it will be used:

Bottom line, it must be a high drain, safe chemistry battery. This means the chemistry must be an IMR or IMR/hybrid battery. Depending upon its application, either capacity or amps will become the priority spec to make the choice.

If using a normal resistance coil (1.0 - 3.0 ohm), choose an IMR battery with the most capacity (mah).

If using a sub-ohm resistance coil (less than 1.0 ohm), choose an IMR battery with the most amps (continuous discharge rate). You can use a 20 amp battery down to 0.3 ohm, and a 30 amp battery down to 0.2 ohm. Do not use any 10 amp battery for sub-ohm use.​

Could you tell us what kind of atomizer, tank, etc you're using and what is the ohm reading /resistance on it.

I have IPV Mini 2 that I use with Lemo 1, but it's resistance of the coil I built is only 1.1 ohm, so I prefer a battery with higher mah ratings (longer battery life), but at least 10 amp minimum continuous ratings to be safe.

Yeah a battery with a higher MAH rating should last longer. Just watch the Continuous draw rating.

How much run time are you looking for, what are you getting? Also how much power are you drawing?

I am looking for long run time. Right now my battery will only vape continuously for about 1.5 hours. I am vaping at 27 watts on the IPV Mini 30 watt.

Is this the 70W or 30W?

If the 30W, I would go with a Samsung 25r. Its 20A and 2500mah.

If its the 70W and you're running high power, a Sony vtc4. Its 2100mah so won't last as long, but 70W on a single battery, I would want the 30A.

I am using the IPV Mini 30 watt. I will check that battery out next time i go to the shop.

I am using the IPV Mini 30 watt with the Aspire Atlantis tank. The coil on the Atlantis is 0.5 ohms.

Since your resistance coil is only at .5, I would suggest Samsung INR 18650 -25R 2500mAh or LG HE4, why not VCT4?
You're limited by your device specs, 30 watts and internal circuits limitation.
So even at 30 watts, .5 resistance, you're only going to draw close to 8 amps (7.7)
So you might as well get the battery that longer battery life. If were using unregulated device, then yeah get the higher continuous AMP battery like VCT4.

Here are the specs for you IPV Mini 30 watt (look at the maximum amp limit)

I have IPV Mini 2 with Lemo 1 with 1.1 ohm coil....I place in there a Panny battery with 2900 mAH (10 amp), I need more battery life not amp buffer.

I use a 30 amp battery just to be on the safe side I will never need that much amprage from my battery in this mod but I will never regret having the safety cushion
