The Surric X mod, PWM, and batteries

[Number3124]

So, I'm looking at the Surric X mod. I like the look of it a bit more than the Hex Ohm as well as the lower price, and the higher power the board puts out. However, it's a 200 watt mod, and I know precious little about how pulse-width modulation interacts with battery current. What I really want to know is, taking into account that the mod uses pulse-width modulation, would I be okay using 20 amp CDR cells or should I hunt down some LG HE cells, or at the very least get some VTC 4s for it?

Depending on how many watts you vape at, and the resistance of the build, the LGHE4's might work. If you are going to go low sub-ohm then seriously look at 30 amp CDR's like the Sony VTC4's. It's more based on how low and how many watts you vape at. Use Ohm's law to calculate.

PWM does not affect the batteries since the input is a steady DC voltage.

Okay. I wasn't quite sure. I've never ventured into the land of Pulse-Width Modulation before, unless all mods use it. However, based on GrimmGreen and VTC's reviews of the mod, it appears to use it more heavily than other mods so I thought I would consult those who understand electrical engineering better than I.

Also, I misspoke. I was referring to the LG HB2. It's a low capacity cell, but it is able to discharge at 30 without damaging its capacity unlike the VTC series.
