[Stinkytofus]

looking at lg hg2, samsung 30q, sanyo Ncr18650ga

Any other recommendations, i vape around 25-40w

The HG2 will be your best bet over 20W. Under that the GA would have a slight edge.

Mooch, what's your info on the continuous discharge rate of the Sanyo NCR18650GA? I can only find 10 amps continuous.

I only have 5A-15A tests posted....

I gave it a 10A continuous rating but I'm anxious to retest it and do pulse testing as the MJ1, in a few tests I recently did, could be pulsed at up to 20A without the voltage crashing or getting too hot.

In some testing I did for a client a while ago the GA did better than the HG2 when under 5A. But the difference was small, only up to 2%. I'll be retesting the GA later this year or early next year.

So are we talking about the same battery, or not? Sanyo or Panasonic?

With Sanyo being a subsidiary of Panasonic, there are arguments for both. But, I believe it still comes out of a plant Sanyo owned before being bought out.
