For cloud chasers, our 30A batteries deliver the power you need, while 15A options suit moderate vapers perfectly. From everyday use to sub-ohm vaping, browse our range of vape batteries to find the right balance of capacity and discharge rate for your box mod.

How Do I Choose the Right 18650 Battery for My Vaping Device?

Your choice should be based on your box mods and vaping style:

 

  • For high-power mods (over 80W): Choose batteries with higher amp ratings (20A-30A)
  • For regular usage (under 80W): Lower amp ratings (10A-15A) with higher mAh are suitable
  • For all-day vaping: Prioritize higher mAh ratings for longer battery life
  • For cloud chasing: Focus on higher amp ratings for safety at high wattages

 

Always check your device's manual for recommended battery specifications. Our guide to the best vape batteries can help you make an informed choice.

What Are the Different Types of 18650 Batteries Available and What Do the Numbers Mean?

We offer various vape batteries with different specifications:

 

  • mAh (milliamp hours) ratings: 2100mAh, 2500mAh, 3000mAh, and 3450mAh - This indicates the battery capacity
  • Amperage ratings: 10A, 15A, 20A, 25A, and 30A - This indicates the maximum continuous discharge rate

 

The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last between charges. The amperage (A) rating determines how much power the battery can safely deliver to your device.

 

 

What’s the Difference Between High-Capacity and High-Drain Batteries?

High-capacity batteries (higher mAh):

 

  • Focused on longer runtime
  • Usually have lower amp limits
  • Better for lower-wattage vaping
  • Ideal for all-day use at moderate power

 

High-drain batteries (higher amp rating):

  • Focused on power delivery
  • Usually have lower mAh ratings
  • Better for high-wattage vaping
  • Ideal for cloud chasing and powerful mods

 

Choose based on your primary vaping needs - longevity or power.

What Safety Precautions Should I Take When Using 18650 Batteries?

Essential safety measures include:

  • Always use married pairs in dual-battery devices
  • Check battery wrapping regularly for damage
  • Store batteries in proper cases when not in use
  • Never carry loose batteries in pockets
  • Only charge through proper external chargers
  • Don't expose batteries to extreme temperatures
  • Never use batteries with torn or damaged wrapping

 

How Long Will an 18650 Battery Typically Last Before Needing a Charge?

Battery life depends on several factors:

 

  • Your device's power setting (wattage)
  • Your vaping frequency and style
  • The battery's mAh rating
  • Whether you're using a single or dual battery mod

 

As a general guide:

  • 2100mAh: 4-6 hours of moderate use
  • 2500mAh: 6-8 hours of moderate use
  • 3000mAh: 8-10 hours of moderate use
  • 3450mAh: 10-12 hours of moderate use

Heavy users should consider carrying spare batteries or choosing a higher mAh rating.
