![]() To make things simple we built calculators that help you work out the amps that’ll be drawn from your battery in a regulated mod (variable wattage device) or in an unregulated mod (mechanical mod). So you know the wattage you want to vape at….but what amps does your 18650 battery need to achieve that safely? It depends on several factors including whether your vape is a regulated or unregulated mod and also whether your mod is a single, dual or triple battery device. What amps do I need for the wattage I vape at? Always make sure you verify the CDR rating of any 18650 battery you buy and never draw more amps from your cell than the recommended CDR. ![]() We’ve come across many stores and manufactures that quote the higher PDR figure as the amps the battery is capable of delivering. The temperature of your 18650 battery rises rapidly and the energy stored inside is suddenly released… Basically your cell explodes or catches on fire! In a worst case scenario using a battery above the recommended CDR can lead to thermal runaway. However, every time you use a battery above the recommended CDR you’re damaging the cell. The pulse/peak discharge rating (PDR) on the other hand refers to the amps the battery is capable of delivering in very short bursts. When you use your vape you’re applying a continuous discharge to your 18650 battery. The continuous discharge rating (CDR) in amps is the industry standard in the world of batteries. Where this often becomes confusing is when manufactures and suppliers quote misleading figures. One of the biggest factors to consider before you pick an 18650 battery for your vape is the amps the cell is capable of delivering. Continuous Discharge Rating Vs Pulse/Peak Discharge Rating The information below can really help to make sure you’re staying safe when buying 18650 batteries for your vape. The most important piece of advice we could give before picking an 18650 battery is to do your research before buying. But, there are plenty more options out there! Other noteworthy 18650 batteries include the Molicel P26A, the RadioShack 18650 and Aspire 18650. The batteries on this list (in our humble opinion) are the best 18650 batteries for vaping.
