Hey guys,

I need more batteries some of mine are dying fast and wont hit as hard,
What are some of the best batteries out there?
Im looking for hard hitting batteries with enough amps and life...
I was looking at Hohm Life,Molicel P28A, Samsung R25,Sony VTC6 etc..
What should i go with...
HOHM life are most expansive are they really good?

    Here's a link to our resident battery expert @Mooch's table of recommended batteries. I use the Molicels with good results. YMMV

    Hohm batteries are expensive - - - expensive ≠ good or best.

    Per Mooch, at least one Hohm battery is an average performer, inconsistent and expensive.

    Currently Mooch rates the Molicel P28A as the best performing 18650.

    Molicel batteries are considerably lower cost versus Hohm batteries.

    ETA: As you can see from the above chart, there are no Hohm batteries among Mooch's recommended 18650's.

    Check out your PMs please, Thanks !
    I did and my coilheads and pre made coils i use are low resistances some coils even say best use at 80-120watts as long as my batteries is pulling enough amps it can handle and dont get hot i dont see how it can hurt the mod?? I use 2 20amp batteries atm should be safe up to 150watts the molicels i ordered are 35 amps will be even better

    Edit: oh i also use fused claptons they are slow ramp up and likes being used at 90+ watts

    I do go through alot of eliquid but ii make my own its cheap enough but if you bought premade i can see it a big cost yea,but im not to too bad about 30ML every 2days

    (2) 20 amp batteries are good up to 120watts. 60 watts each. Even that is reaching the limits.
    The 35 amp is a better choice.

    You can chose your own style of vaping... as you've probably already done... .... ... !?

    As i have already told you in the PM...
    The is no any battery yet that can meet - fill your needs - requirements... !

    Im simply trying to share my personal experience... and my personal mistakes... so maybe i can "help" someone who is reading this thread... !?

    I have my own style of vaping... and im good to go !

    Have a nice day !

    Yes, in a dual battery mod the 20amp Samsungs should be good up to 120watts but that is at the limits.
    The 35amp Molicel would be a better choice.

    Lol i was gonna go with hohm work battery but my vape shop wants 12,50€ a piece for it while those molicels were only 4,99 crazy why Hohm so pricey? The mah and amps are less than the p28a molicels too

    You won't be disappointed. But you would definitely get longer use from them if you backed off the 70 to 100 watt range and find the lowest wattage that still hits that spot. When I first started vaping, I vaped high wattage upwards of 130 watts. Sometimes even 150. In the long run I found that did affect the batteries some and definitely used a lot of juice. Eventually settled at 56, 58 watts and I can get a good day and a half use time from the batteries. Not tryna tell you what to do or nothing. Just something to think about.
