New User and a couple of questions :)

[Botmonk]

Hi there,

New user been vaping for 8 months now and no analogs, Down to 6mg on my nic intake and have a few questions. I had started on the ezgo's and recently bought the Sigelei ZMAX v5 and was using a pro tank. I am now in need of batteries and a new tank and would like suggestions on both. I have been looking at RBA's as a new tank such as the Kraken and Genesis type tanks (on a budget here and as far as batteries I was looking at Sony US18650VTC3 18650 1600mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries. Are these batteries ok or can someone recommend better? Great site and a lot of reading to do! Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Greetings, welcome to the forum. Congrats on quitting smoking!

Genesis-style RBAs can be frustrating while learning how to do a proper mesh wick build, but as far as my personal preference goes, it's well worth the effort. I get my favourite vape on a genny using 500x500 mesh and 4 wraps of 32 gauge Kanthol.

Here's an ECF blog on batteries, including brand and model recommendations: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/4848-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected.html

sony's are very good, they also have the new vtc4 which is a higher mah battery so longer between charges. as far as going into rba's keep in mind that with a zmax you will be limited to above 1.2ohm due to the chip set. building on a vv/vw device is honestly one of the way i recommend due to the built in protections the devices carry.

So as long as I check the resitence and its 1.2ohm or above (more wraps of the wire??) I should be good? I am just starting to play with the Zmax features vv/vw. Everything else I have is auto. I will look into the vtc4 as that sounds better! Thanks again guys for all the advice
