[Russell McLean]

hey im new and got a battery question.... best batteries for a smok g-priv? gonna buy charger nitecore- from another retailer, but needed to find out what would be good bateries.

i vape alot.. 10mls a day... usually around 9ow, but i do have a cloud king i pull out every now and again...

whats the best battery to get?
i have heard the brown ones? what does that mean?

LG2. I use those and Samsung 30q. I generally vape 25 - 40w. There are some very good battery threads here. And always listen to Mooch! He has great tables and tools to help you learn what's best for your vape style. Welcome to ECF!

Check out @Mooch 's chart. I personally like the LG HD2C is just about everything. Welcome to the board.

That probably means the LG HG2 batteries, which are listed as 3000 Mah 20A batteries.

They are fine batteries for cases where you aren't drawing a great deal and want battery life, but you should note that they aren't capable of safely supplying 220W.

At 90w , on low battery (3.2v) it will pull roughly 14 amps. HG2, samsung 30q, VTC6 or VTC5a will be fine and provide a lot more time vaping.

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

Welcome to the forum. I'll put in my 2c worth for LG HG2s for good run time and power. I've pushed them to 180w 37A with my Smok GX2/4 in 2 batt config and TFV12 Cloud Beast King 0.12ohm coil. More than I can handle and stick with the Big Baby Beast .15ohm T8 usually 65-75w couple HG2s good all day.

Seems you're calculating the current draw wrong. The resistance of the coil doesn't factor into the calculation on a regulated mod. The formula:

Watts / battery cutoff voltage (x the number of batteries as it's a series mod) = amps (add 10% to account for chip inefficiency)

The current draw is lower than 37 amps per battery, but still significantly higher than recommended for 20-amp batteries.

Why do people feel the need to abuse their batteries. Use the right batteries for the task.

I'm not calculating anything wrong, in fact didn't calculate anything at all. Read the mod display.

Also the CDR is not the same as a batteries pulse capability. And nobody has yet to show a schematic or anything from a mfg stating the Smok mods are in fact in series.

The amp display is useless. It shows the output amps, which is unrelated to the amp draw at the batteries. The Alien most definitely is a series mod, almost all multiple battery mods are. In any case, the amp draw per battery is identical in series and parallel mods, regulated mods that is. As for pulse ratings, there's no set standard and thus you have nothing to go by. The cdr, or potentially Mooch's maximum vaping amps, is the thing to go by if you want to stay safe.

Thinking about ordering VCT6 for the few times a day I vape 60w+. Tend to chain vape those tanks. Figure I'm probably safe with LG HG2 & Samsung 30q since not a constant all day vape. But do occ. leave the house with one of them. Good idea or unnecessary?

 

[Letitia]

Same result as 30Q. Personal comparison.

Thankyou. Frankly if I try to comprehend all the battery stats & jargon my head just hurts.
