New Vaper Simple Question

[DIreGrim]

Hello everyone, my google searches ultimately lead me here. I started vaping approximately 3 months ago and purchased 2 mods. A G-priv sporting Tvf-12 Beast tank and a dripbox with an icon rda. I purchased 4 Sony VTC6 15A 3000mAh batteries with them. I like to vape around 120-150w. Probably averaging 5 second puffs approximately 80 times a day. Moderate vapor looking for extreme flavor. At that wattage should I purchase new batteries? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would suggest a higher Amp battery than the 15 Amp you have.
25-35 Amp would be better. Especially at the watts you like vaping at. "120-150w"
If you feel your mod getting warm,,,,,, Back off and let it cool down. Or drop the watts down.
IMO the batteries you have would be better off with the TFV8 Baby Beast at 40-60 watts.
If your in no rush......$21.56 Authentic Smoktech SMOK TFV8 X-Baby RBA Tank Clearomizer - 2ml / 0.35ohm / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
This is the newest model with top air flow.......
The problem with FastTech is, it takes 12 to 30 days to get your order. The TFV-X has an 8 day wait from them.
( But their prices and free shipping are great )

I just looked up info on your G-priv. It reads, "Dual battery life indicator: G-PRIV2 kit is powered by two 18650 batteries in series." Also,"Over-heating protection"
I could be wrong but I'm thinking your 2 - 15Amp batteries might be alright with that mod.
As I said below,,,, If you ever feel excessive heat while holding the mod, Give it a rest.
That's the first sign of somethings not right. When your mod is to hot to handle, put it down.
Next time you order batteries, step them up to a 20 to 30amp minimum.

I too think your batteries may be okay, but you'd have much higher runtimes with a more powerful battery. Depending on how often you vape of course. If it were me, I'd be using something a little more powerful to err on the side of safety. But, that's just me.

Make sure you get your batteries from a reliable source.

At 120 - 150 W on a two battery mod, you should be using 25 - 30 A batteries. You can pick one from the chart here:

Mooch's Recommended Batteries | E-Cigarette Forum

The CDR and capacity are shown under each battery, and there's a list of reliable suppliers at the bottom of the chart.

It's good to be able to calculate your amp draw so you'll know what you need if things change. Mooch, as always, has the answer:

RTD Vapor is more than likely ware I will get them.

Sony US18650 VTC4 2100mAh 30 amp from RTD Vapor is what I am looking at.
