Vape Batteries - All You Need To Know

Got Vape Mod with removeable batteries and want to know a bit more about these incredible pieces of technology? Then take a look at this.

If you prefer to stay within the Continuous Discharge Rating (CDR) of your cells, the maxiumum vaping Wattage per cell can be approximated by multiplying the CDR (in Amps) by 3
So for example a 20A CDR cell can be used for 60W in a single cell device or 120W if two are used in a dual cell mod.

This takes the cell Voltage as 3, which is low for a Li-ion, but also takes into account inefficiencies in the mod (i.e. regulation, boost converters and so on). Even so, I still imagine that it's a slightly conservative rule of thumb which errs on the side of safety.
