Ggeekvape aegis 100w vape why am I losing wattage when I vape

You can pretty much guarantee that the battery is the problem. The colour of the wrap doesn't mean much - it could just as easily be Samsung 25R or a VTC5 as a VTC5a (and there are a lot of bogus ones around). All that sticker claims is it has a capacity of 2500mah so it could be any donor cell.

If you've previously used that battery as part of a paired set in your Smok mod it would have been running under as much load so you probably wouldn't notice it struggling unless you habitually vaped at really high wattage - if you bought the Geekvape mod with a free battery generally the freebie battery is pretty useless unless you get really lucky.

Personally I recommend you don't use an 18650 in your mod - if it can fit a 21700 then use one. I would recommend you buy a 21700 or two for your mod from Fogstar - as you vape it at 60 Watts make sure you buy a 21700 rated at a minimum of 25 Amps. There are a couple of 5,000mah 21700 batteries that may look promising but they are only rated at 15 Amps that are not suitable for you - don't buy them.

If you want to stick with 18650s only buy Molicel P26a, Molicel P28a or Sony VTC5a as you need genuine 25 Amp batteries (preferably from Fogstar as they sell genuine cells). Whatever you do - don't buy batteries from eBay, Amazon or any place online that looks cheap - if you bought those batteries from a vape shop on the street Dont buy more of them as they are probably shit.

Fogstar have a discount code - POTV20.

i have had a look and i am going to buy this type of one do we think that will be ok

Molicel P42A 21700 Battery

I'd spend a little more on the Molicel P45Bs, after like 100 cycles they still have the same capacity as a brand new P42A

Yes.

They are really decent batteries - lots of members of this forum use them and they will cope with 60 Watt vaping easily and give decent run time. It will be better than any 18650 in that mod.

Could you post a picture of the screen on the Aegis? Might help to rule out if it is a setting problem. Honestly you should grab some Molicel P45B's from Fogstar anyway, will make the world of difference.

Just dug out my Aegis, put in a 1/2 charged P26A I've had for over a year and the wattage stays at 40W with every draw.

Don't worry - your mod is in Power (Wattage) Mode. If you were in TC mode the dropping Wattage would be normal, but that isn't the case so you don't have to tinker with the settings.

It is probably your battery that is weak - but make sure the battery contacts of the mod and the threading of the battery cap are clean as this can cause problems if they are dirty.

Sorry if this sounds insulting, but you said you have a Geekvape 100. Both the 18650 and 21700 versions of the Aegis are 100W. If you have the Aeigs Max then a 21700 will fit, if you have the older Aegis 100 then it only can use an 18650 (so you should only use VTC5a, P26a or P28a). If your mod is an Aergis Max, please ignore me lol.

That's a relief - I was worried I may be pushing you into buying a 21700 battery for an 18650 mod lol.

Personally I will always use a 21700 battery in a mod if it can house one - they have more energy storage capacity and are more capable of running safely at higher power. The extra couple of quid they cost is probably the cheapest improvement you can buy.
