Ok ill say it! I'm a embassy when it comes to battery safety! I know nothing about amps, watts, volts and mah etc. Can someone explain to me in some way that I can understand everything I need to know about battery safety! I'm getting a wismec rd 200 mod and is my vtc5's gonna work and be safe to use? Thanks for any help!

Did you mean the Wismec Reuleaux RX200? If you want to use it for up to ca. 150W, you can use the VCT5. However, if you're planning on using the full 200W, you'd need the VTC4.

I probably will not be using it at 200 watts but I like to vape around 140 watts. So it will work until I get enough money to buy some 25r's? What are the best batteries to use with the rx200? Will I need to buy a 4 bay charger or can I use the 2 bay charger I have? It's a nitecore intellicharger.

IMHO, the two types of Sony batteries I mentioned above, are the best choice. Yes, you can use the 2 bay charger.

I'm getting my Sony batteries from http://liionwholesale.com

In RX200? The triple battery mod? No, you don't need 30 amp batteries. You only need 20 amp batteries. You can use the Samsung 25rs. The LG HE2, the HE4, and the HG2 batteries. They can all handle 75 watts at nominal voltage.

75*3=225. 225 watts at nominal voltage.

20 amp batteries will provide plenty of juice to use the Reuleaux at its full power.

Yes you should be fine.

Now I may be wrong, I'm still not completely sure on these batteries. But batteries in series you add up the voltage, so 3X 3.8v (4.2 batteries but with voltage drops 3.8v is more realistic) for 11.4 volts max. With a 20amp battery if you maxed out the current there you'd have 228watts, so basically you have more at your disposal than you need/can use.

Make sure to continually buy good batteries and chuck them when they stop holding a charge, they do wear out. Always keep them in sets married, always charging together, always being used together, and thrown away together when they're done. And always of the same brand/type, no putting a 25r with a VTC4 and a HG2. Just keep them in sets always together.

VTC4's are best if you want to use higher power as it has a higher amp limit, and the more overhead you have the safer you are. So if you want to be going at 150w+ it's a good idea to get those.

If you're more concerned about the life of your batteries then stick to the HG2/25r's. There are other good ones out there, but those 3 are your general go-to's.

Thank you very much! I can understand your replies for once! Lol some times the responses seem like they are speaking Greek or some other languages!
