OK. A little controversey

[slinco]

I began my vaping journey with a Dovpo E-VLT-v2 and an Aerotank from a local vape shop on the recommendation from my buddie.
That was almost 3 months ago,I have not smoked an analog since and I thank my buddy for turning me on to the vape.
Since that time I have purchased the following:
iTaste 134
Kanger Ipow
Innokin 20w MVP
Buttload of Kanger Aerotanks
Misc. crap
What's my point? The Dovpo E=LVT 30w-v2 is the best mod I have.
Take a look at it, you can find them for around $50-30watts and weatherproof.
I dunno, I think this thing is the bomb.

No you weren't.

Doesn't say anything on the site about which 18650 batteries to use.
It would certainly need to be high drain if going sub ohm.
What battery is in yours?

Does look like a nice 30 watt device though.

 

[slinco]

I have a Tenergy 2600 mAh in mine, I pretty much only use an Aerotank at about 10-12w tho.
It's just nice to have 30 watts just in case....

Hey Slinco, not sure if this is your battery or not.. All-Battery.com: Tenergy Li-Ion 18650 Cylindrical 3.7V 2600mAh Flat Top Rechargeable Battery ...but tenergy's are mostly for flashlights and toy's.

They don't seem to be high drain batteries like what should be used in a high(relatively high) powered mod.

Might be best if you got a better battery than you are currently using. Might be only a couple dollars more for a battery more suited to vaping. Money well spent imo. YMMV.

I hope thats not the battery - the specs are awful and the person who sells that to a modmowner needs a nutpunch

 

[juggler86]

Is the battery the controversy?

 

[slinco]

Thats the same brand but mine is silver with red lettering.
Any proper battery recommendations?

 

[slinco]

Is the battery the controversy?

Nah, I thought there might be a bit of controversy with the brand as it's not one of the bigger high end names.

I think its this one:

Wrong battery for any vaping use, only use IMR / hybrid ' safer ' chemistry high drain batteries with a sufficient CDR expressed in amps for the APV, or resistance range you're using ( mech ).

For your application I'd suggest one of these:

AW 1600mah 24a cdr
Samsung 20r 2000mah 22a cdr
AW 2200mah 20a cdr
Samsung 25r 2500 mah 20a cdr
LG he2 / he4 2500mah 20a cdr (same battery re wrapped and mislabeled by efest as 35a)

A 10a CDR battery would be sufficient for your use also, I don't have a list of anything less than 20a.

Only buy batteries from reputable vendors / dealers to avoid fake / clone / re wrapped lesser quality batteries.

RTD Vapor
Illumination Supply
Lighthound
Orbtronics

Screw that one too. Heck I would use a trust fire before that thing

If it is that one its protected and isnt good either. It will work but not correctly
order up some 10+ amp panasonics, sony's or lg's and I bet that mod will run like a champ.

 

[slinco]

Thanks to you both, I will be on the hunt for some proper batteries ASAP.
Never realized there was such a difference!

Samsung 20r 2000mah 22a cdr--Ordered!

 

[Thrasher]

Batteries get crazy. And sadly we see too many shops throwing in whatever they could get a deal on.

The thing to remember is the amp output of a battery, we should always use "high amperage" batteries.

for a 30 watt mod i wouldnt go lower then 10 if not more.

the batteries linked so far do not go very high and your mod will work but it cant get all the juice it needs to work at 100% efficiency or hold it very long. All that wattage has to come from somewhere.

I've got one--it was my first upgrade after a beginner kit.
I bought mine at the only vape shop with in a hundred miles so i paid a pretty good buck for it but it came with a really good battery.
I work in the bush so it was important to me that thing be near bullet proof--and it is.
But it is heavy as sin and rather unwieldy and I don't like the way my Nautilis Mini sits on it. the CE-S works fine though.
I now have an ELeaf Istick 20w and it fits my pocket better.
But a guy has top have back-ups!

If what you're using makes you happy and is keeping you from smoking then keep using it!
