I don't understand why you're running 35 continuous amp / 2500 mAh batteries in a APV with a 10a output limit, when you could be running a lower continuous amp / higher amp hour rated battery.
The Panasonic or Efest 3100mAh 18650 batteries for example. Probably slightly inflated values, but then most all tend to be "rounded up". ;-)

Considering batteries can be recharged several hundred times, I don't quite understand "going through batteries pretty quick" comment either... are you using a stand alone charger, or USB?

I have an authentic hana mod and I am using the 35a 2500 mah 3.7v 18650 efest battery and iam going through batteries pretty quick luckily I have 7 of them. Can anyone suggest a battery that will give me more life???????

Per Hana Modz website:

Recommended 18650 batteries:
7-20 watts- AW IMR, Panasonic CGR
7-30 watts- Sony VTC4 or Sony VTC5

actually im using a .9 ohm dual coil in a fogger v4, but my batteries are not lasting near as long as they did in my nemesis that's all I just wanted to know what the best battery would be and if the sony vtc5 would make a big difference or not, and what don't you understand about going through batteries quick they are going from a 4.2 charge to a 3.6 in like an hour and I have an efest charger.....

depends on what one considers better...

to get a fair trade of in performance VS size you either have a low mah rating with a hi A rating ( e.g. 2100mAh @ 30A) or you have a hi mah rating with a low A ( 3400mAh @ 15A) one gives you more initial punch higher current flow for a shorter time while the other gives you lower punch but longer life...
kinda like 2 cars with each having a 5 gallon gas tank one gets 30MPG but terrible acceleration and speed and the other does a 1/4 mile in 2.8 seconds at 210mph but gets 20 gallons to the mile....

VTC4 is a 30A battery... the VTC5 is supposed to be rated for 35A the 5 allows for a bit lower ohm build before things can go nasty

Both the vtc4 and vtc5 are 30a batteries. I've heard rumors that the vtc5 would have slightly higher internal resistance but can't confirm that, and in any case the difference would most likely be so small that it's negligible.

As for the efest "35a", it's a rewrapped LG he2 and although it's "only" 20a it's a very, very good battery.

The newer 3100 mAh efests are a different beast. In the tests I've seen they perform badly, and there seem to be indications that they're not 20 amp continuous discharge as stated. What needs to be noted about batteries is that the energy they're able to provide is not really a constant. Depending on the amp draw, a good lower mAh-rated battery can actually provide a longer vape time than higher mAh-rated one. We don't use up all the available energy in batteries, and high discharge batteries have more of the juice in the useable voltage ranges (particularly as the amp draw goes up).
