Panasonic NCR18650PF 2900mAh 10 amp
The best combination of high-drain, safe-chemistry, high capacity (mAh), and amp rating.

Those Efest 18650 3100mAh are protected ICR Li-Ion batteries. You want high drain batteries for a regulated mod for best performance.

Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh Battery - Flat Top - eVic

the 3400mah isnt high drain so i would not reccomend it.
:thumb: I agree. This battery was designed for low drain applications like flashlights...not advanced personal vaporizors.

It is a hybrid battery with the chemistry heavily weighted towards the ICR spectrum, and should be considered as one practically speaking. It is not a high drain battery, has a high internal resistance, and only has a 6.8 amp limit.

So Baditude do these NCR18650PF's compare favorably to the aw 2000 mah ones I use now? The 2000 mah aw only has a 10 A limit as well if I'm not mistaken. So the Panasonics are just an upgrade in capacity? I seen your past on the question to provape and how they described the low resistance of the aw cells and ask the other reasons they recommend the aw. Do the Panasonics still compare well to the aw's overall?

I always read aw's were the best so I ordered 2 of those from rtd but these panny's your recommending look nice. I can say I feel the aw's I use now seamed to perform better than the gray Panasonics I have that I believe are rated at 2250 mah but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me. May have to hit up rtd again to place another order.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, but yes they offer a higher capacity (mAh) while still being high drain. Taking into account that they are high drain with higher capacity and a practical amp rating these appear on paper to be superior to the AW 2000 mAh batteries.

I've also used one of the grey CGRPanasonicCH 2250 mAh batteries in rotation with my AW 2000 mAh batteries but have not noticed any longer battery time with it. I tend to use the AW brand in my Provari's as recommended by Provape.

I don't know the internal resistance rating of the Panasonic PD or PF 2900 mAh batteries compared to the AW 2000 mAh batteries. Here's a little more information on the NCR chemistry:

Sweet just place an order for 2 from rtd. Thank you both for your info. I have read that the 2000 mah aw's are re wrapped Panasonics that are just thoroughly tested and are actually hybrids as well which is probably why they perform similar to the gray ones I have but I'm all for some added vape time in my vtr with these new 2900 mah.

Good choice. They're pretty reliable as well. Mine always last me through 2 refills of my Russian 91, which is about 6ml. I just got the Efest 2500mah 35A's and they seem to be working as advertised. I paid 15 each, but no other place had em in stock. The link for em a few post up has em on backorder. I just wanted to try em anyways.

The 35A wouldn't have any extra benefit in the vtr performance wise though right?

I know I read something about the lambo 6.0 not working correctly with batteries under 20A. Not exactly sure why that is for that specific mod so it made me curious if other vv/vw mods like the vtr would also benefit from higher amps or if it was just the lambo.
