Have a look in the battery and chargers forum here Batteries and Chargers | E-Cigarette Forum
Mooch has posted results on lots of batteries he has tested.
Personally, I wouldn't trust Efest as far as I could throw them, but that's just me.

I did my research when I forst switched from eGos to mechs. The best balance of CDR and mAh is the Sony VTC4. It's a 30A battery with 2100 mAh. You won't find a higher CDR, and it's the highest mAh rating of the 2 true 30A batteries. If you are going to run the new Sig over 75W, you really should use a 30A battery. Stay away from eFest. They are not to be trusted. The only way I use them is in a dual parallel box. Even then I don't go over the 25 - 30A range so I never pull more than 15A off one battery.
My Samsung 25R's seem to last the longest in all of my mods across the spectrum of builds. I have efests (shortest life) Sony VTC4 and VTC5 (the 4's actually seem to last longer than the 5's) and the Sammy's that seem to be the longest lasting and most reliable.
This is the case for me also. The smurfs do seem to last longer, with the Sony 4 lasting longer than the 5

I just bought 4 of these Samsung 30Q's, they got a good review and will handle 30A load for being a 15A 3000mah battery
I'd be EXTREMELY leery of putting a 30A load on a 3000 mAh battery. If Samsung is marketing it as a 15A battery, chances are 15A is a HEAVY load for it.
don't know if they will do the 30A or not... I did see someone showing loads of 20A with no heat issues... (think the load was for 6 or 7 secs at a time??)
I am running them in a VV/VW Box... but I have not had any issues... and I get a couple of hrs more out of them than the VTC5 or 25Rs... so I am happy...

I apologize it was 25A, I was looking at this chart

I would not run a 3000mAh battery with a 15A rating above 10A to account for ageing.
If you plan on replacing them every three months you could use the full 15A rating.

I had efest batteries in my first mod subox, they weren't great on life, I need to research a little I guess.
I will be using TC mode 0.01 ohms and VW probably 0.2/3 ohms

Me, three.
Running Samsung (blue) 25R, and (new) VTC5, and it "feels" like the Sammys run longer...
I don't push the amps though - I'm pretty much under 40 watts/10 amps and just want a good long-lasting battery...
