The battery we stock
The Hohm Tech Life 4 is a 3015mAh (10.85Wh) 18650 with a 22.1A continuous discharge rating, which works out to about 63W per cell on a regulated mod and roughly 125W for a pair. It is a flat-top, unprotected cell on Hohm Tech's QSP Li-NMC chemistry, rated to keep 70% of its capacity after 500 charge cycles. The full specification table and handling rules are on the product page.
What else a box mod needs
A mod sold device-only needs batteries, a tank and e-liquid before it makes vapour. The mod we stock is the Vaporesso GEN MAX 220W ($64.99), which takes two 18650 cells. The tank is the SMOK TFV18 ($39.99, 7.5mL), with TFV18 coils at $17.99 for three. Mod, tank and a pack of two batteries come to $134.97, over the $100 line for free Standard shipping. Sub-ohm tanks run freebase e-liquid at low strengths, not 20mg salt: Naked 100, Kapow freebase and Lemon Drop Ice 60mL are the newest lines, and every bottle we carry is on the e-liquids page.
Handling 18650 cells
These are unprotected lithium-ion cells, so the rules are short and not optional. Carry them in a plastic case and never loose in a pocket. Do not use a cell with a torn wrap or a dent. Use two cells of the same model and age in a dual-battery mod. Stay within the 22.1A continuous rating, and do not leave cells charging unattended. Spent cells go to a battery recycling drop-off, not the garbage.
Frequently asked questions
What is an 18650 battery?
A rechargeable lithium-ion cell 18mm across and 65mm long, larger than an AA and not interchangeable with one. Box mods use them because they can supply the current a sub-ohm coil draws and can be swapped for a charged cell when they run down.
Which vapes use 18650 batteries?
Box mods with a battery door, such as the Vaporesso GEN MAX 220W, which takes two. Pod kits, starter kits and disposables have built-in batteries and never need a separate cell.
How many 18650 batteries do I need?
As many as your mod has slots: one for a single-battery mod, two for a dual-battery mod. Cells that share a mod should be the same model and age and stay together as a pair, so buy the pack of two for a dual-battery mod.
How many watts can an 18650 battery handle?
It depends on the cell's continuous discharge rating. The Hohm Tech Life 4 is rated at 22.1A, about 63W per cell on a regulated mod and roughly 125W for a pair. Stay at or under the continuous rating whatever the mod's maximum setting is.
