18650 battery choices

[tobaccokills]

What 18650 would everyone recommend for a device such as the Evic VTC Mini? I am looking for at least 2500 mah but would prefer 3000 mah. So many choices and some like the efest seem to be rewraps. Right now I am thinking of LG HE4. Just wondering what more experienced vapers have learned the hard way lol

I'm no expert but I know they're the most popular and never seem to let down. Happy vaping man

Samsung 25R (20amp CDR 2500mah)
LG HE2 or HE4 (20amp CDR 2500mah)
LG HD2
LG HG2 (Higher mah, 15amps CDR)

Any of these would work with the VTC quite readily, the HG2 has the highest mah but lowest amp CDR rating

The HG2 is actually rated 20A by LG. I gave it the same rating in my testing.

@tobaccokills, if you're not pegging the Mini at 60W all the time, chain vaping, I think you'll be fine with the HG2.

I bought a Sigelei 75W and three 25R Batteries (the new ones 25R-R5) and so far they are working like a champ. I have to say that this device was just going to be part of my rotation but I instantly became amazed by temp control. My juice tastes like never before lol Thank you all for the advice.
