Pico battery

[Nem2k]

Thinking of picking up a pico, which battery would you recommend for it?

I will probably be sticking with VW mode and using the Melo3 that comes with it. Would the Sony VTC5 be sufficient if I dont go below 0.25-0.3 ohms? Whats the maximum wattage I could set the device at with those resistances on that battery?

Capacity is more important to me as I'm happy to adjust the wattage to the limit of my battery. So any recommendations other than the VTC5 that would last roughly as long?

VTC5 would be fine. I use Samsung 25R, LG HE4/HG2

0.2ohm with max wattage (70w) is just over 18A

0.2 or above you'll be fine

20A is good to 60 watts and 25A for 75 watts. But if you're vaping at 75 watts, another mod would be better. I'm using 25Rs, but the 3000mAh batteries would last a little bit longer. The 25R is 2500mAh.

Resistance doesn't matter if it comes to Amp draw on a regulated device.
Watts divided by battery voltage gives you the Amp draw.
So if you run 75 Watt on a almost low battery its roughly 75/3....25 Amps.

As stated:
Samsung 30Q or LG HG2 are great 20 amp CDR 3000 mAh batteries, all good as long as you stay below 60 watts.
On a regulated device the coil resistance is unimportant, only the wattage as this dictates your amp draw. It will be lowest when the battery is charged, and highest when the battery is discharged. This is essential to understand

60W will draw 16 amps when the battery is at 4.2 volts, and 19.6 amps at 3.4 volts when the mod should either shutoff or warn you to change the battery.
Put the numbers into steam-engine yourself to see this.
