Best 26650 battery for 100W mod?

[dhood]

The continuous discharge rating of the Brillipower most certainly isn't 30 amps. No 26650s have a higher cdr than 20 (possibly the Sony, but haven't seen any tests of that yet).

I'm pretty sure the 4500mah versions of the Brillipower green and the Basen black both tested out at 25 amps CDR based on Mooch's tests. Love my Basen. About to order more.

True, I double checked, my mistake. In any case, there does not appear to be any 30 amp 26650s.

Yeah, hence my problem. At 100 watts, that thing has to be pushing close to 20 amps, right? I'm trying to figure out the C rating on this battery which looks like it might be 6.8 on the Brillipower website, but I'm not sure. How do I figure it out? And just the fact that I have to carry a charger with me, etc. is making it way harder than just throwing a .33 ohm coil that inocrrectly read .4 on my 50 watt istick, and puffing on it for 2 days, with no charge. I like the feeling of a really warm, quick burst vape and all, but its just a hassle. I think I should at least switch to a dual 18650 with 120-200 watts, and just get 4 batteries to marry and rotate now that I spent the money on the charger. At least that will last me a day, correct? I mean, the 50 watt is over a year old so I know it ain't gonna last forever.

At 100w you're pushing close to 35 amps. There simply isn't any battery that can handle that within its cdr. At 120w you're pushing around 41 amps (or 20.5 amps in a two-battery series mod) so two 20 amp batteries will just about handle it. 200w is around 69 amps, so you'll need a three-battery mod to stay within cdr, and that's with min 23 amp batteries.

Yeah I returned the mod. Battery life was terrible, it felt like carrying a brick. 26650's are a pain to get, I just wasn't feeling it. So I got a 150 watt dual 18650 mod that seems to be working fine and dandy. Thanks for the help.
