Snow Wolf 75w Batteries

[GreenEyezGirl]

I hope that somebody can help me. I recently purchased the 75w Snow Wolf. I am a little confused on what batteries I should be using. I was told (on this forum) to use the Efest 18650 brand. Now I'm reading that they re-wrap other batteries and to NOT use these. From what I've read, Sony and LG are good brands. Right now, I am using an Efest 3.7V 3000mAh. I don't vape with nickle or titanium coils, so I don't use the temperature control function. I vape at 36w and use an Eleaf Melo Sub-Ohm Atomizer with Eleaf Melo Coil - .5ohm. I have read so much information on batteries and to be honest, it makes my head spin. In addition to brand, I would also like to know if the 3.7V and the 3000mAh are ok. Can I go higher or lower? If anybody has an answer for me, I would be extremely grateful!

I recommend the LG HG2. 3000 mah and a real 20 amp battery. Nice life and a good battery.
The Samsung 25R is also a good battery but not as long on a charge.
the Sony VTC4 is a good 30 amp battery.

Here is Moocs's blog on batteries.

You need at least a GOOD 20 amp battery.

Hi

Just buy a-brand batteries like the LG H2, Sony VTC5, Samsung 25R. All are high drain IMR or INR batteries that can take the strain.

The mah indicates the capacity so higher is better generally. All mentioned above or 2500+ mah so the little difference there is will not matter much in real life usage.

The volts are usually indicated as 3.7v but can also be indicated as 4(.2)v.
Fully charged most will measure 4.2v approx
Almost empty, it will be more like 3.2v.
Hence they are usually advertised as 3.7v batteries, being nicely in the middle of full vs empty.

Without testing the efest, you may never really know the specs of your battery. I'd say you're probably pulling about 12amps out of your battery at most on 36watts.
Stick with the efest, as your regulated device should have some fail safes. The major concern would be using it on a mech at its limits.
