What is the recommend battery to use in my ILPV3 LI 200w?

Hi I just bought this mod and was wondering which is the recommend battery to use in my ILPV3 LI 200w?

Please reply back thanks

I didn't see recommended batteries for your device on the downloadable user manual. However, the manual appears to show an image of two green Sony VTC4 batteries.

Sony VTC4 2100mah 30 amp CDR

Your mod can power up to 200 watts. It makes sense then that you want to use the batteries with the highest amp rating in continuous discharge rate, which are the Sony VTC4's.

75W or higher, Sony VTC4 2100 mah 30 amp CDR.

40W-75W = LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20Amp CDR

Samsung 18650-25R, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR (green wrap if you can, blue wrap is just fine)
LG 18650HE2 2500 mah 20 Amp CDR
Sony 18650VTC5 2600mAh 30Amp CDR (* tested as only a 20 amp CDR)
AW 18650 3000 mah 20 amp CDR​

Under 40W = LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20Amp CDR

Samsung INR18650-30Q 3000mah 15Amp CDR
AW 18650 3000mah 20 Amp CDR​

How many watts can I go up too with the vtc4?

You can go up to 200 watts if you can tolerate it. You'll be using two VTC4's in tandem in your particular device, so you'll have enough amps from the two batteries working together. The processor will set its own limits if it sees fit to keep you safe. That's the beauty of a regulated device as opposed to a mechanical mod.

Hmm how many watts can I go up to using lg hg2?

If the device actually goes to 200w (it probably pulses or something above 150. Don't know how that works). There are no 18650s where the combined amps of two batteries are enough. Two 30 amp batteries will be good for 170w or so (with the batteries drained to 3.2v and a device efficiency of 90%). Two 20 amp 18650s (like the hg2) are good for about 115w (3.2v, 90% efficiency).

Yeah the guy at the vape shop says it pulses after 150 watts

And the specs on the mod says

input 6.2v-8.5v

efficiency: 95%

Ok, with a 95% efficiency you should be able to safely use 20 amp batteries up to 120w if the mod discharges the batteries down to 3.2v, 130w if it discharges to 3.5v. Check the battery drain calculator at steam-engine.org for other voltages. With 30 amp batteries you should be good all the way to 200 (if the pulsing doesn't use more amps than at 150w).

Probably a stupid question but I'll ask it anyways. Say I was using cheap batteries with a lower amp rating like 10 or 15 amps would a device like a snow wolf or a ipv 3li keep you safe if you were vaping at low ohms like a .1 or .15 at 200 watts?

The resistance doesn't matter on a regulated device, but the watts do. The mod doesn't have any way of knowing what batteries you and can't protect you against overtaxing them. You could push them way over their capabilities and vent them. Note that 20 amp batteries are not sufficient if you take the mod over 120 or so watts (depending on what the cutoff voltage is). You need 30 amp batteries (there are only a few of those, by LG and Sony, don't trust rewrapped "vaping batteries") to take the mod all the way.
