Got through a full REO bottle on .3 ohm coils, checked battery... = 3.77v
It didn't drop below 4v until about halfway through the bottle.
Color me impressed. Very impressed actually. I wish they worked well in Grands, but I'm scared of using flat tops in Grands. For my woodville, this is the battery I'll be using from now on I think.

The AW 1600s have been shown to be very poor performers for .4 ohms and lower. My 4 are on the shelf.
HE4s and VCTS are my only batts. Well green yellow and blue batts are in all my mods. Great help in this thread guys.

In comparison I just went through half a reo bottle on an as 1600. 3.72v after half bottle. Brand new batteries both of em. Highly impressive
What ohm is your atty?
I change batts at half a bottle and there around 3.7-3.8v. And my atty is 1ohm and using the aw 2200mah batts and samsung 30am batts from rtd.. can't remember the name of them heh.. though the good rare ones . Anyways I believe the samsung are around 3.9-4v when I swap thrm on half bottle on the woodvils.. though sometimes I wait too long to swap them.
.3 ohms
I've got a .6 ohm set in the Woodville right now. Will check the LG battery voltage after the full bottle is done
So do you think they've usurped AWs for you (for when you want flat top)'?
Damn between these, Samsung 25R, Sony VTC5, I think my AW fanboy days are numbered
Yes, though I already preferred the Samsung 25Rs to AW for when I want flat top. Keep in mind ya'll, I've never used Sony VTC5s - my experience in batteries is AW 1600s and 2200s, Sammy 25Rs and now the LGs. The LGs seem to be kicking the most battery life and holding above 4v the longest by far. I would say it's literally twice the life of an AW 1600, which makes sense since the MAH is double I guess
LG HG2s coming in at 3.81 after a full REO bottle @ .6 ohms
I love these batts. Highly recommended

I went back to order more and noticed RTD's out. Is Illumn a reputable vendor? Never bought from anyone but RTD beforeOK. Ordered a couple.
RTD out right this moment, but illumn's got 'em, and a good price...
ETA just ordered 4 of em. Great price

Totally - well known, reputable battery source!
Flashlight people vouch for them - and you know those flashlight people - they're picky!
edit - I only buy batteries from a few places:
RTD and Illumn are top choices, plus I've gotten AW's from Nitemods.com, and I also bought from Kidney Puncher once. That's it...

Thanks my friend. I would've waited who knows how long for rtd to get them back in stock. Thanks for the heads up about illumn!
Saw these LGs pooping up in other threads too, should probably order some. The brown ones, right? Now, if they'd only make some 18500s...
