What is the best battery?

[xJarod36]

I am looking for a battery that I can trust, that will feature all of these things that are gonna be listed: that won't break easily, that has long lasting life, preferably that it is rechargeable, that lets me change the different voltage/watt settings, and that shows me what settings I am on, and what the ohms are for the tank I am using.
Also can a 1.8 ohm tank be used on an x6 battery? I still have my x6 battery, it last a good 8 hours, and it feels indestructible, and it takes 3-5 hours to charge, how ever I hear it is not the best for vaping. Sorry for bad grammar.

Sorry I meant Mod, but a Mod with an integrated battery would be nice.

You're looking for a mod that will do all of that, a battery will only power it. Personally I don't use VV/VW but I am sure others will chime in with some good suggestions, best of luck.

Are you asking for advice on a mod, or a battery integrated into a mod? Changing volts and watts is a function of the electronics where as the battery supplies the power...

My first PV was a Vv/vw evod twist

Yeah sorry I meant Mod, with a battery integrated into the Mod. It is pretty late over here, so I am tired. That is why I did not make the post clear, because of my lack of thought.

No worries. I do that a lot here also. I second the twist. It is pretty durable and reliable.

+1 on the MVP v2

1. Huge (2600 mah) battery
2. Variable Voltage - Voltage can be adjusted from 3.3 ~ 5.0 in 0.1 volt increments
3. Variable Wattage - Wattage can be adjusted from 6.0 ~ 11.0 in 0.5 watt increments
4. Ohms Meter - Reads the resistance of your atomizer
5. Pass through ability
6. $40 shipped at many online stores

Pair it with a mini Naulitus with the new BVC's (bottom vertical coils) an you will have a great vape.

I was gonna purchase the MVP, but I wanted something a bit more portable. But I guess the MVP 2.0 is good enough?
So other then the Twist, is there any other good back up ones?

There is the iStick but there are a few problems with regard to it's circuitry (it measures mean not RMS). It is not capable of down regulating power (it is widely inaccurate, especially at lower voltages). As long as you're aware of it and don't need a battery that can output voltages between 3v and 4.2 volts, you may like it. It does go up to 20 watts (but only using a 1.1 ohm coil).

A PBusardo Review - The Eleaf iStick

The short answer is that the voltage/wattage numbers for power displayed by the iStick are pretty much useless as far as determining how hot the vape will be compared to other devices. Adjust the iStick's power level to taste rather than using other device's power levels as a reference.

I made a new chart showing what combinations of oHms/watts the iStick is capable of regulating. eLeaf/Joye U.S. confirmed with the manufacturer that the iStick does not have the capability to down regulate power.

The blue bars show what is fully regulated. The purple shows oHms/watts combos that are only regulated when the power level you have selected falls below the volts the battery is actually outputting. If the settings you have chosen are too low to be regulated the iStick screen shows values calculated from oHms law based on your chosen settings rather than showing the actual power coming from the battery that is going to the coil.

For example, if you are using a 1.8 oHm coil the iStick will fully regulated your vape between 10 and 16 watts. However, if you want to vape your 1.8 oHm coil at 7 watts you can not do so until the battery output falls below 3.6 volts. In practice, this would mean you would start vaping at 10 watts with a freshly charged battery with the temperature of the vape going lower until the battery was actually outputting below 3.6 volts. The iStick would then regulate your vape at 7 watts until the battery needed to be recharged. The screen will reflect 7 watts/3.5 volts irrespective what volts are actually being output to the coil.

Using the iStick in voltage mode doesn't change the fact that the iStick is not capable of reducing the power coming from the battery. If the battery is freshly charged, producing around 4.2 volts, and you have set the voltage to 3.8 the iStick will be delivering 4.2 volts, not 3.8 volts, to your coil.

The iStick will not allow you to select a power setting that requires more volts than is allowed in its regulated range. It will stop at the highest setting that the chip can regulate.

You can download the spreadsheet I used for the underlying data if you wish to look at it or modify it for another device. Choose File > Download as from inside the Google spreadsheet itself rather than your browser's menu. The colors on the spreadsheet are done with conditional formatting that matches spec limitations.

The data I used is from doing oHms law calculations. The device may produce something a bit different in actual use. So far, I haven't seen any reviews for the iStick using reliable electronic testing equipment to check its accuracy.

When I'm not running a mech mod I use a Vamo V6 with an 18650 or stacked 18350's, both Efest IMR. And I use a LUC V4 charger. Love my rig.

@Susan~s

Thanks for the iStick data. I have one and love it. I have it in another coat as a fall back in case I run out of the house without my rDNA30...

get a Provari

 

[eLefAdEr]

If looking for something with a little more power and lower resistance compatibility, the upcoming IPV3 mini might be a good choice. It's not a built-in battery so you'd have to add cost for at least one compatible 18650.

In my option my Nautilus Mod battery that Atlantic Cigs sells is by far the best, its light a pen and lasts a pretty long time. For my Mech mod I use LQ 2500 Mah batteries at 35 Watts which is also really good.

I'd recommend something using the dna chip if your looking for something higher like that or a provari if your looking for something lower in watts.
