Batteries

[PeterKay]

So currently my mod is running 2 Samsung 30Q batteries. What is your favorite long lasting batteries to use? What I have is good but I would like to get some new longer lasting ones. Suggestions?

There's another advantage and reason why I bought these. The day I decide to vape at higher wattage, say 100 or 120W, I'll be able to use these without any problems and without having to get a new set of batteries especially for that purpose.

The 30Q performs a lot better down to 3.2V than the HG2 though.

That might be true, I haven't tried 30Q's, so I can only compare the two I've got, the difference is big though. I couldn't get a day of vaping out of LGs, with Molicels I get roughly a day and third to a day and a half (that varies as I also vape on mtl devices). And ability to upgrade to higher wattage whenever I feel like is a big thing for me

A lot of text without any meaning.

Maybe it doesn't have any meaning to people like you. But that in fact says more about you than it says about batteries.

Again you make just assumptions.

Much to the contrary. I just called you out for making assumptions that are based on pure nothingness.

Where are the facts?

You're the one who made the claim that it catches up and overtakes. So the burden of proof is on you.

Where's your scientific data?

See above. The burden of proof is on you.

Btw, heat is not the only cause for aging. It is one of the major causes, but chemistry for example plays its part as well.

How exactly does this prove your claim? How exactly does this suggest that what FACTUALLY caused the 5%-6% difference found by Mooch was NOT the insanely hot battery temperatures that aren't remotely close to being representative of how warm our batteries get when we vape at 80W on a dual battery regulated mod?

Here's the link again:
Bench Test Results: Which lasts longer? VTC6, 30Q, or HG2?

Now, there's always a small chance that the OP wants to charge batteries at 4A so it may still finally depend. But you did not write that it may depend, as instead, what you did was you turned that into another gasbag fact of yours, just like you usually do. Enough said.

Well I learn alot from both of you and wish you 2 could disagree without getting personal.That's all.
BTW- IMO civility is always on topic.

Well then, on topic... "rear end" isn't especially uncivil even by Mooch's standards, going by what kinds of words I heard coming out of his own mouth in one or two of older video interviews that had him in them.

Up to ~7.5% more vaping time is not "a lot". Noticeable, sure, and certainly a big enough difference to want to hold it also into account wen making buying decisions of course, but still nowhere close to being "a lot".

I vape at similar wattage to you, between 50-70W, dual 18650 mod also.
I bought 3 sets of batteries: two pairs of LG HG2 (which are quite close to what you've got), and few weeks ago I bought two Molicel P26A. The Molicel batteries significantly outperform the LG HG2 at the wattage I use them at. I'd say I get about 50% more battery life out of them. There was a price difference but nothing too crazy. So If you buy a pair of these, you won't be disappointed.

Getting ~50% more in comparison seems pretty unrealistic to me, but not totally impossible. From what I can tell, once you start getting a bit closer to the 80W mark on a dual 18650 regulated mod, that's when the P26A generally starts to become the clear winner. ("Generally", as in, it really all depends still nevertheless.) But I'll be the first to attest that choosing to buy a brand new pair of 3000mAh batteries for vaping on a dual 18650 regulated mod at as high as 90W back at the time when the Sony VTC5A had already been being widely available for like half a year or longer (and before it finally got dethroned by the Molicel P26A for regulated mod) has never made any real sense to me in any way whatsoever, despite I personally have witnessed all the 3000mAh apostles burning me at the proverbial stake for my pointing that out on numerous occasions. Dealing with these kinds of heavily biased "attention-seekers" has been no easy task, that I can assure.
