Sony battery recommendation

declantm

Hi Folks,

I'm interested in buying the Smok Mag mod. I need to get new batteries for the mod. I want to use the Sony VTC5A 18650 2600mAh. I was just wondering if this battery is good enough to safely run the Smok TFV12 Cloud Beast King?

I have been using Samsung R25's but, according to https://www.18650batterystore.com/Best-18650-Battery-Guide-s/142.htm, the Sony's have a better discharge rating so I assume is a better battery.

Thanks for any replies,
Declan

Sony's are generally deemed to be at the top of 18650 batteries. It all depends on what kind of ohm's you're building. If you're looking at really low ohm's then the VTC5A would be the one to go for as it has a high amperage rate of 25A. If you're building more towards 1ohm than the VTC6 should be considered as it has a 500mah more capacity in comparison to the VTC5A. If you're unsure, then go with the VTC5A. Some batteries and their ratings, mah's are below.

• Sony VTC4 18650 2100mAh 20A to 30A
• Sony VTC5 18650 2600mAh 20A
• Sony VTC5A 18650 2600mAh 25A
• Samsung INR18650 20R 2000mAh 22A
• Samsung INR18650 25R 2500mAh 20A
• Sony VTC6 18650 3000mAh 15A
• Samsung 30Q 3000mAh 20A
• Efest Green IMR 26650 4200mAh 23A
• MNKE IMR 26650 3500mAh 20A
• Sanyo UR18650NSX 2600mAh 20A

Is the Smok Mag left or right handed,I won mine in a raffle & it's left handed,I prefer to vape with my right hand,sods law...

From what I can see they’re all left handed. Even the Smoktech.com website doesn’t let you choose which you want

Thanks youdipstick, I havent bought my Smok Mag yet and that site is really cheap so I think I'll go with them. They seem to be sold out in Ireland, I only found two sites that have them with a very limited range of colours and both sites are sold out.
