Hey everyone! I bought a vaporesso armor pro, single battery 100w mod.. I downgraded from a old sigeli 150w because I wanted something smaller in size but my batteries die very fast.. I use a cleito with the .5 coil running at 60w with 2100mah 18650 batteries, forget brand..
My question is for a single battery mod running 40-80 watts what would be the best or most efficient and long lasting battery for me? Its compatible with 18650, 20700, 21700 batteries..
First of all, when using a regulated mod like yours, coil resistance is irrelevant. Mech mods use Ohm's Law, while regulated mods use Watt's Law.
It's the battery amp rating (continuous discharge rate) which determines how many watts can be drained from a single battery. Using two batteries doubles the wattage available, while three batteries triples the wattage available.
Unfortunately, there are no 18650 batteries which have BOTH high amps and high mAh, you must compromize and choose one over the other with a single battery mod. Which is your priority: high wattage settings or long run time per charge? One viable solution is to carry spare charged batteries with you to use when you need them. That's what I do.
WATTAGE PER SINGLE 18650 BATTERY on REGULATED MOD:
(Total wattage doubles using 2 batteries; Triples using 3 batteries.)
Up to 45W:
Samsung 18650 30Q, 3000 mah 15 amp CDR
Sony 18650VTC6 3000mAh 15 amp CDR
Up to 60W:
LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20 amp CDR
LG 18650HE4 2500 mah 20 amp CDR
Samsung 18650-25R, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR
Sanyo UR18650NSX, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR
Sony 18650VTC5, 2600 mah 20 amp CDR
Sony 18650VTC4, 2100 mah 23 amp CDR
Up to 75W:
LG 18650 HD4 2100 mah 25 amp CDR
LG 18650 HD2 2000 mah 25 amp CDR
Samsung 18650-24S, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR
Sony 18650VTC5A, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR
Up to 90W:
LG18650HB6 1500mah 30 amp CDR
LG18650HB2 1500mAh 30 amp CDR
LG18650HB4 1500mAh 30 amp CDR
Samsung 18650-20S 2000mah 30 amp CDR
-If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.
-If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, you're good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.
-If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.
-If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts.
Another solution would be to get an
Innokin MVP4. It has a 4500 mah internal battery which should last at least a day at your wattage settings and is still relatively pocket-friendly.
