LG HE4 18650 2500mAh 20A Flat Top Battery

Sony vtc6 would be better！

they're the same as the HG2's basically...

LG HG2 18-20a and 3000 mah (used to be 20a)
VTC6 19-20a and 3000 mah

LG HB6 30a 1500 Mah
VTC5A 25a 2500 mah

i really, really want someone to make a safer 50a 10,000 mah 18650 battery... i can dream!

LG HE4 18650 2500mAh 20A Flat Top Battery
This is the battery I use for my ephod Caravela. It doesn't last very long. Is there another safe battery that will last longer? thank you

Mech mods are a bit of a pain in the .... that way. You could go with a higher Mah rated batter, like the h2s, but that will drop the amp crd. Basically, if you want longer vape time, you have to change your coil build. Higher resistance = longer battery life. So a 26ga or 28ga build will last longer than a 24ga build.

You're using that tank/coil on a Caravela mechanical mod?

Looks like it has a non-hybrid connection. From the review I watched. God, that [removed] was long winded though. lol.

doesn't matter G, she's new to anything beyond the kanger mega pens... but i think she's doing a great job of asking for help and learning. it is a pretty mech though!

 

[daviedog]

It is a little overcurrented---24-26 Amps roughly I think, could get pretty warm...

Better use the VTC5A.

In a fully charged cell, 28 amps, and a whopping 168 watts

No, never, because even when the cell is fully charged there is some voltage sag at the battery.

@Zeppelingirl There has been quite a bit of info in this thread. My advice is to literally start again and do a bit of research into regulated mods, tanks, batteries and different types of wire. That's what you need to know at this stage.
