Reuleaux RX200 and LG HE2 Batteries?

[MDCollegeVamo]

Hey everyone, after a long no show I am back wondering what others may think and what advice may be offered. I am recently looking to upgrade a new hardware piece. I had originally wanted to look for a new Unregulated mod for a Mutation X rda. However after looking around and already owning two unregulated (King v2 and the SMPL), and two regulated (KBox and IPV2) I figured I would try to find something a little different, and well cutting edge newer, this led me to buying a new Mutation x v4 to have some fun with. While the new Mod I am looking for would be a TC Mod. So I am pretty set on a reuleaux RX200, seems to have anything I could want really. However I am going to need a few extra pieces to this puzzle like the Nickel, a 4 sled battery charger (Nitecore i4) and more batteries. So this is my last step I am sorta stuck on what batteries I should get. I know the Reuleaux RX200 says the batteries need an amp limit of at least 25(I am assuming Pulse not continuous) So I had looked into the LG HE2 batteries because I have one already and I think it performs just as well as my Samsung R25s and to get a 4 pack is well, slightly cheaper. So what batteries would be recommended for this TC Mod I would be using mostly Nickel and maybe putting on my Plume Veil with normal Kanthal but for Nickel I would be doing sub-ohms from .1 and below with the occasional .5-.1 to truly be able to utilize the full 200W and TC settings.

Any help is so greatly appreciated and I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks!

The HE2 should be fine up to about 160 watts or so. And no they mean continuous for full 200 watts.
VTC3 or 4 or HB6?

 

[MDCollegeVamo]

That sounds good, I am not sure I would actually need the full 200 watts, but it's nice to have or to say I have. I think I will continue to look around for a VTC3/4 or even HB6 as suggested. Thank you!

I wouldn't even push those batteries anywhere near 160 watts.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

The batteries are in series so 160 watts is well below 20 amps. which an HE2 is good for.

I would still recommend a good 25 or 30 amp battery per Mooch's test results not a battery wrapper.

The LG he2 are good batteries, but there is the he4 which is an updated version. Even more so I'd suggest the LG hg2 or Samsung 30q, those will give you the most battery runtime. As Robert said, if you want to go all the way to 200w get Sony vtc4 or LG hb6. You'll have less battery capacity though.

After looking on RTDVapor, I think I am gonna end up picking between the Sony VTC4 and the Samsund INR 30Q for this one. I will have reasonable mAh Capacity while achieving the recommended or required minimum amp limits.

well if a 20 amp battery will be good for that power than why not get the hg2s and get 3000mAh

Get three of each. That way you can go for longer battery life when less wattage is enough, and use Sony vtc4 for when you need the full 200w.

At 67W max for each battery, when running at 200W on the Reuleaux, you can use any good quality 20A battery in my opinion. The HE2 is fine. Ok, if you're chain vaping at 200W use a 25A-30A battery.

The HG2 and 30Q are being used very successfully in the Reuleaux's and I recommend them.

Hi, not trying to hijack the thread but trying to find out how to safely vape on my RX200 with a 0.1 ohm Clapton in a velocity RDA and LG HG2 batteries. Guys in the shop said up to 100watt but when I use an ohm calculator I'm getting no higher than 40watt. Am I missing something?

1) To find out what current (amps) battery you'll need for a regulated mod, see Calculating battery current draw for a regulated mod

2) To find out what current (amps) the coil will pull from the battery in a mechanical mod, you use an Ohms Law Calculator.

Thank you so much Baditude. That makes sense...am I right in assuming the ohm rating on the coil doesn't need to be factored in then as power out is simply power out to the regulated mod? It would seem I was confused about what you need for a mechanical vs regulated mod.

Indeed, the resistance doesn't matter. The calculation is: watts (+10% to account for device inefficiency) / battery cutoff voltage (multiplied by the number of batteries in the case of a series mod, the voltage of a single battery in a parallel setup) = amps (in a series setup the amp draw is for each individual battery, in a parallel setup the amp draw is divided between the batteries).

Example, 100w and a cutoff at 3.2v. Three batteries in series:

110 (100w + 10%) / 9.6 (3.2v times three) = 11.46 amps, per battery

Three batteries in parallel:

110 (100w + 10%) / 3.2 = 34.375 amps total, 11.46 amps per battery

The exact number for device inefficiency will vary and be near impossible to get information on, but imo 10% is a good number to go by.
