Short answer, no.
A cell with 3500mah will have a CDR of 10a at most.

Regulated or unregulated 'box mod'?
Typical power range you use if regulated? or resistance range used if unregulated?
How many cells does your 'box mod' use?

Best to use name brand cells from a reliable source that have a CDR that can safely support your amperage needs.

One of your other threads contains very good detailed battery information, I suggest you refer to that information to help answer questions & make proper cell selections.

Okay, and then what about the
LG IMR18650HG2, 3.6V, 20A/30A 3000mAh
On the site it says that this is mostly used for vapes, is it true?
and these ones are cheaper - 8,65 per one .

Hard to answer questions accurately without you answering the questions asked.
No way to know what CDR cell you need.

The LG HG2 is a good 20a CDR cell if authentic, but may not have a high enough CDR depending on your requirements.

The iStick mix is a 2 battery device capable of 160w, the cells used must be matched pairs.

In the user/owners manual it states to use cells with a CDR of 25a or more.

I'll be vaping at around 50W.

At that power level & up to around 100w, 2 - Lg Hg2 will work fine, if authentic.
There are thousands of fake/counterfeit cells on the market, only buy from known reputable dealers of authentic cells.

If you'd re read the your other thread that I linked to in a previous response, all your battery questions will be answered.

Baditude's blog post here is an invaluable summary of battery basics and explains what you need to know to choose a battery and a find a vendor who will sell you authentics. You can also check Mooch's recommended battery chart, which also includes a list of reliable vendors.

Xtar is a battery rewrapper, so their batteries should be avoided. They do, however, make decent chargers.

And what charger I should get for them, I'm currently looking at 2, one is Xtar xp4 Panzer, and the other one is xtar vc2 plus, yes I know not maybe the best brand , but it's the best I can get online fast, they both cost around 20-25 euros. And i'll get the lg hg2 batteries. For Eleaf Istick mix.

Xtar, Nitecore, and the Efest LUC are good chargers. Buy according to the features you currently need or may need in the near future. A fancy display is desireable and more expensive, but not totally necessary.
