Hohm Tech is a North American cell brand with one distinguishing habit: it publishes conservative, tested continuous-discharge ratings instead of the inflated pulse figures common on generic rewrapped cells. For anyone running an external-battery mod, that honesty is the whole point - staying inside a real amp rating is what keeps a cell cool and makes it last.
NYX Vape stocks Hohm Tech cells in 18650 and 20700. Free shipping across Canada on orders over $99.

Which Hohm Tech Cell is Right for You?
Check the device manual first. It sets the cell size and the minimum continuous discharge rating, and nothing below overrides that.
Best for a standard single-battery mod - The Hohm Life 18650. It is the most widely compatible size and 22.1A continuous covers ordinary regulated use.
Best for runtime - The Hohm Sherlock 20700 at 3116 mAh, the highest capacity here, if your mod takes 20700 cells.
Best for high-current builds - The Hohm Sherlock 20700 again, at 33.7A continuous, the highest discharge rating stocked.
For dual-battery mods - Buy two identical cells together, use, charge and replace them as a pair.
Why the Rating Matters
Cell marketing often quotes a pulse rating, which is what a cell can deliver in a brief burst, not what it can sustain. Hohm Tech quotes tested continuous figures, which is the number that actually applies while you are vaping.
Staying inside the continuous rating keeps the cell cool, and heat is what shortens cell life and creates risk. A cell that runs hot in normal use is being asked for more than it can give.
Inspect wraps, carry spares in a case, and never charge a damaged cell. Charge on an external multi-bay charger - see our chargers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Hohm Tech products does NYX Vape carry?
Hohm Tech high-drain lithium-ion cells in 18650 and 20700 sizes, including the Hohm Life and the Hohm Sherlock. Capacity and continuous discharge ratings are in the table above.
What makes Hohm Tech cells different?
Hohm Tech publishes conservative, tested continuous-discharge ratings rather than the inflated pulse figures common on generic rewrapped cells. That matters for safety, because staying inside the real amp rating keeps the cell cool and extends its life.
Which Hohm Tech cell should I buy?
Match the size to your device manual first. For a single-battery regulated mod the Hohm Life 18650 is the usual choice; for higher-wattage sub-ohm vaping the Hohm Sherlock 20700 gives more capacity and more amp headroom.
Can I mix Hohm Tech cells in a dual-battery mod?
No. Use two identical cells bought together, charge them together and replace them together. Mixing brands, capacities or ages produces uneven discharge.
How should I store spare cells?
In a rigid plastic battery case, never loose in a pocket or bag where they can short against keys or coins. Keep them away from heat and out of reach of children.
Does NYX Vape ship Hohm Tech batteries across Canada?
Yes, with free shipping on orders over $99. Same-day local delivery across the Toronto GTA is free on orders over $75. You can also visit any of our six Ontario retail locations, where staff can check your device and recommend the right cell.
