What do you disagree with Baditude?
Since Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic/Sanyo are too coward to help us out.
It's not that they are too cowardly to help vapers out, they don't want vapers to use their batteries period. Their products are designed specifically for protected battery pack use exclusively for the auto industry and power tool industry. Those four companies make 75% of the batteries in the world. There is absolutely no financial incentive for them make a "special battery" for vapers because those two industries keep them extremely busy and the vaping market is just too small for it to be cost effective for them. So from both a liability and financial perspective, it wouldn't be worth their interest.
The Chinese manufacturers, however, do have some incentive to
"market" to vapers, having only 25% of the market share. Unfortunately, many of the Chinese manufacturers and marketers inflate their specification ratings. So often consumers are not getting the performance or safety they expect because of deceptive marketing.
Just because their marketing and advertising is aimed to vapers does not mean their batteries are any better performing, safer, or better suited for vaping than a Samsung, Sony, or Lg. Many of the smaller China companies have lower standards of quality.
Many literally do a "bait & switch" tactic like the manufacturer for the Vapcell Gold did to Vapcell. The factory and rewrapper agreed on specific specs, but the factory changed the specs on Vapcell without telling Vapcell. They weren't aware until Mooch tested a second batch and made them aware of the switch. The factory said don't worry about it, the specs don't really matter. That's the attitude many China companies have.
I learn this "insider" type info from Mooch. He has many professional contacts in the industry, and often is sent sample batches from various suppliers to test for specification accuracy and detect counterfeits.
Mooch tests for example, Efest cells and he might have tested a Panasonic rewrap. While someone goes to a vape shop and buys the same Efest, but it is a Sony rewrap. That is a totally different cell. So what Mooch said doesn't even apply. But some vapers don't even know this.
Mooch
ALWAYS says that any of the Chinese rewrappers can change the cell used at any point in time. That's the reason that he often re-tests batteries to see if the performance has changed. That's important for consumers to know so it does apply.
"Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing." --Mooch quote
I often wonder why people bother buying Chinese batteries at all given all the shenanigans Chinese companies try to pull off.
Also Mooch will push his testing a lot harder than I would. I would never vape cells as hot as he does. I draw the line at 50°C tops (outside battery temperature). Thus also why my amp rating is often 1/3 lower than Mooch's.
I never tested any of those just the Aspire 26650 cell.
That's great that your test standards are different from Mooch's, for you. Mooch is not testing batteries for just your benefit, but for the entire vaping community. A lot of people like to push their batteries hard, and I think Mooch realizes this.
And you base your findings on
just one battery model by Aspire.
Taken as a whole, Aspire's entire lineup speaks rather poorly for themselves.
