Sigelei 100w Batteries

[Blitzz]

Need batteries for my new sigelei 100w. Any suggestions?

Pretty much any 30 amp batteries like the purple Efect or Sony VCT4. Just make sire you buy them both new and charge them together. Once they're put in that mod together, they're basically married. And every time you charge them, swap them in the mod.

Thanks for the info. Just wondering what would happen if they were bought or charged at different times and you married them in a device?

I think it has more to do with the quality of charger / what rate you charge them at.....

Also what would work better VTC4 2100mAh or my Panasonic NCR18650B 3.7V 3400mAh?

Have two new batteries helps ensure that they both drain at the same rate. This prevents a weaker battery from charging off a stronger battery. Which in turn helps maintain the cell of the battery. In a sigelli its not as important, because it is a parallel setup, but it will make batteries last much longer.

Both will work the same. The only difference is the time that the charge will last. The higher milliamp rating means that you have a deeper cell in that battery and will provide a longer drain time. But using previously used batteries can shorten the drain time of batteries for the above mentioned reasons. So do yourself a favor and pick up a new set. I get close to 2 days out of my sigelli so one set is fine. I just vape on a mech mod while the married set of batteries charge.

Don't use the Panasonic.

The Panasonic/Orbtronic NCR18650B 3400mAh battery is a hybrid battery whose chemistry is heavily weighted to the ICR end of the scale, making it NOT a high drain battery with high internal resistance and with only a 6.8 amp continuous discharge rate. These batteries are essentially ICR batteries for all practical purposes, and are best suited for low drain applications such as flashlights.

Correction: the Sigelei 100W is set up in series, not parallel.
