Hello everyone - here's the thing, I always buy mods with an integrated battery because I don't like messing with stuff I don't understand but about six months ago I bought two new mods - an Aegis Geek vape something or other that's working just fine but I also bought an Eleaf iStick Pico 75w thinking it had an integrated battery - which it doesn't (and I know several of you are snickering at that.)
But I bought it and so I guess I should use it and also, I want to have a back up in case my other mod gets run over by a bus or something.
So my question is: which battery? I know I should get an 18650 cell - but the manual says it should be one that should be above 25A continuous discharge.
Now is that really necessary? Or is that for people who vape at really high wattage?
Me, I hardly ever go over about 22W but mostly stay in the 18-20 range, my coils are never sub ohm (right now it's at 1.72 and at 17.8w.
The battery I was going to order is a Samsung 30Q 18650 3000mah 15A 3.6V (from Element Vape).
That's obviously 15A and not 25A but again, just want to be sure it's okay and that I'm not going to burn my neighborhood down.
Thanks in advance for any help and for not laughing too hard at my ignorance.
