New guy and questions

[Theis]

Hey guys my name is Ryan 28 later this year I live in tx I'm from Arizona though
I'm a disabled veteran from the army.

I had a pico mega awhile ago but I had to toss it...so I'm still really new to the vaping I recently got a reuleaux from the vape a vet project and they also sent me the tvf4 mini? I think that's right...

First I tend to be continuously hitting the vape the whole day after about 10 mins usually 25-45w I'll actually do something other then vaping and then I had 2 lg hg2

With my device I got no batteries and I've been looking at the vtc6,30q. But I am unsure if those would be my best choices for my use and the mod

I love the Samsung 30Q. I've never used the vtc6. As long as their authentic you will be fine with either.

Are you doing this to stop smoking? It's not unusual to chain vape when changing over, but maybe a juice with a bit more nic in it might cut down on the frequency. TBH, I probably hit my mod about every 10 minutes if I'm just sitting around at home.

As to batteries, the 30Q is a great battery. Here's a chart of recommended batteries from our battery guru Mooch.

Don't know where you are in TX, but IMR is in Houston and has authentics at excellent prices. Not positive they have a retail shop but here's their contact info Contact Us. At worst it's probably a day delivered to you by plain regular mail.

All three batteries you listed are just fine for your application of under 50watts, even on a single battery mod, with a multi-battery mod like the Releaux's they are even far better with amazing run time at that wattage. The 30Q is the best of the 3 in the 3000mah line up with the highest consistent amp limit of 20amps, the VTC6 is a bit pricey as are most of Sony's battery line up, especially the VTC5A, and you really can't go wrong with the LG HG2 either. As far as doing snuff to keep from smoking, heck at work I crutch on nicotine lozenges when I can't get out to vape, its still far better than smoking though you do run the risk of lip, throat, and jaw cancer risks with snuff and snus. As Eskie posted above if you are say vaping on a 3mg and feel you are chain vaping to much, step up to a 6mg or even 4.5mg nic juice to compensate as an example, the hit will be a bit more punch in the throat but you'll get used to it and feel better without such harsh nic cravings, might have to tone the watts down a few notches as well. Army vet myself, assess, adapt, and over-come is what I learned, anything is doable if you put your mind to it.

Purchasing batteries, you are better off getting them online, a vape shop is going to charge you 1/3 to double what you can them online
imrbatteries.com
Liionwholesale.com
illumn.com
RTDVapor.com
and orbtronic.com
are all valid online re-sellers and most are authorized vendors, some even when you buy in larger bulk the price per unit decreases (Liion as example there, buy a full dozen and price drops another $0.30 to $0.50 per battery), and on average battery prices can be between $5.50 to $8.00 per unit, much better bang for the buck, get almost 2X the batteries for the same price a vape shop will charge you at $12 to $20 per battery.

Welcome to ECF. I use 30q & hg2 batteries & pleased with both. I only order from Liion.

 

[Theis]

Thank you guys for all your help and welcoming at least I know I'll be ok here

 

[djsvapour]

I use HG2, HE4, VTC5, 30Q.

If I could find any difference in the real world, I'd be the first to say it.

Maybe I lean towards the 3,000mAh a little more... but the amp limits are not that important to me as they go in 2 x 18650 battery mods at the power of a 1 x 18650 mod.

Hi Ryan & welcome

Pico and Pico mega batteries

Hi Ryan welome. I think you got some good recommendations for batteries. What's your nic level and PG/VG juice are you using? I had to experiment with the right nicotine level for me to stop myself from chain vaping (that said, no matter WHAT nic level I was using, I chain vaped at first, merely (I think) due to switching over, as you do so consistently, you will probably find yourself vaping less, but you should still (IMO) get the best batteries you can for your setup, I enjoy switching mine out less than once a day (but I have a 2 battery mod, which I vape at 15 watts... So, you may need something stronger to start, or just better batteries so you can vape like crazy for awhile. As long as you aren't suffering from nic overload, vape how works for you

Thank you for serving and protecting our country, I wish you the best and happy vaping!
