Looking to upgrade the battery on my eVic VTC Mini

[Rich Bassix]

Firstly Hi,

I'm new to this forum so plz go easy on me. I was looking to upgrade the battery on my eVic for something which would hold more charge but after reading a closed thread on here I'm guessing it's not as simple as just going for a 3400mAh battery alone? If anybody could shed some light or suggest a suitable battery which would give me longer battery life it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

howdy - and welcome

to best of my knowledge, the best SAFE battery you can put in the evic would be either the samsung 30q (pink) or lg hg2 (brown) - both are reasonably rated as 20A CDR batteries by @Mooch 's bench tests and pretty similar, performance wise - and clock in around 3000mah... I don't know of a safe 3400mah 18650 for vaping

I'll add; AW 18650 3000mah 20a CDR.

Yep on the HG2 and the Samsung 30Q.
The AW 3000 mah 20 amp should be fine as well. Per Mooch might be a re-wrapped HG2.

there is no battery over 3000 mah that is safe for a 75W single battery mod.

I concour everything that has been said. I also wouldn't use any single 18650 battery mod over 50-60w. Even though it's relatively safe because of the fact it dosent draw DIRECTLY from the battery. You will still have TERRIBLE battery life and around 50% you won't even be able to hit 75w as you will most likely get a weak battery error and will only push about 60w. To maximize battery life I would build to use it in the 35-45w range. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback! In all honesty I rarely run it much over 50W but thanks for the feedback.

For the record, two 2500mah batteries = 5000mah. Just carry a spare.

+1 to everybody here. Get the Panasonic 30Q, or the LG HG2, or the AW 3000mAh for best single battery life. Or buy two 2500 mAh batteries and carry a spare.
