18650 Batteries from Reputable Vendors

[mikey37]

I've heard lots of batteries like efest are counterfeit and I just bought two from ebay, a dumping ground for counterfeits. What would be a good type of battery from a reputable seller for vaping around 0.3 ohms?

id go with a batt that is rated for continuous discharge of 20 amps min preferably a 30amp batt to be safe might as well get a really good one that can handle atleast double what ur gonna throw at it

If you don't know where to score batteries why are you vaping at .3 ohms?

Can you define around 0.3 ohms?
Like +/- how many ohms?

 

[mikey37]

I've never vaped at 0.3 but I want batteries that can handle much more than what I'm putting on it, I'm usually around .7-1.2 +/- 0.1 ohms

I love FT sony 18650's but my last order got stopped by HK post.

I just got 18650 and 18350 batts from r-lsales and they have been performing great.
Samsung INR18650-20R is my favorite high drain cloud maker battery. It's been chucking massive clouds with 0.7 ohm quad coil. Also got Efest 800 mah 18350 which seems to perform roughly like AW 18350 based on seat of the pants. Pushed my 0.9 ohm cloud machine fine during a break in test (don't try this at home). I normally run 1.5ish coils w/ 18350.

Now, I'm not a sub ohm expert and please don't take what I say as gospel, but sub ohm on an 18350 is:
Crazy
Foolhardy
And dangerous.

18350s don't have the amp ratings that 18650s have.

Don't blow yourself up please.

You are correct. 18350 batts have decent life in the 1.5 to 2.0 ohm range. They can go a bit lower but it's best to have high drain 18650 for sub-ohm.

Samsung 20R 18650 about 4 days old.
Sony 10A 18650 about 2 weeks old.

Atty is Trident 0.6 ohm quad coil.
Device is china junk with hot spring.

Voltage with 0.6 ohm load:
Samsung 20R = 3.86v
Sony 10A = 3.65v

No load voltage after load test:
Samsung 20R = 4.2v
Sony 10A = 4.19 v

Voltage drop:
Samsung 20R = 0.34v
Sony 10A = 0.54V

Summary: Love Samsung INR18650-20R because it's a beast
