    Hi all,

    Really hoping you guys can help me out here, I'm new enough to sub ohm vaping but just want some advice. I have an alien mod with smok baby beast tank with a T8 coil and im looking at what the best batteries would be for me. I typically vape around the 60-70 watt mark and was wondering what you guys would recommend. I was looking at the Samsung 30Q but im not sure if I vape too high a wattage for 2 of these batteries in my mod.

    Thanks in advance...

    If you get 25r's, 30q's or VTC5's you'll be perfectly fine for practically any and all mods. Just make sure to get genuine ones.

    Well I would prefer the 3000mAh batteries but I am just conscious that the mod or the battery might damage or deteriorate quicker if I'm vaping between 60-80 watts. Does it not need a higher amp to hit those sort of levels?

    As ibfoxer says,the 30Q's & the other ones he mentioned are spot on,the 30Q's have a continuous 15amp but I wouldn't go below 0.1 with a 30Q,if going lower,you are better off with a 30 or 35amp battery.

    60 or 70w is nothing on the Alien 220w....

    The T8's I have are 0.15, would those work for the 30's or would I be better off going with the 25's? I have 25's at the moment but they take a while to charge so I just want to have another set on the side so I swap over. I can go with the 25's if worst comes to worst but just wanted to see if I could get the extra mAh

    It's border line,set your Alien & tank with the settings you like,now look at the amps on the screen & fire the Alien & let me know how many amps it is...

    So with 60w it's 20.63 amps and with 65w its 21.36 amps, I usually go between 60w and 65w (sometimes rarely 70). Thanks again for all the help all.

    All the ones you mentioned are perfect,they all work great,if I'm buying in bulk,I buy from these 2 companies,they are a lot cheaper but delivery will take a week....

    1) https://eu.nkon.nl/rechargeable/18650-size.html .....Netherlands
