You should read this then... they are rewraps and the specs for them are lies, so you have to be careful with them.

Was just about to edit my Post, you wrote back quickly, lol
It could also be the 2600mah but after looking at the benchmark results and comments for both it doesn't really matter, they both kinda suck about the same..
I'm vaping at 100watts on a 0.28 coil.. Voltage is @ 5.29 so my amps are 18.89, and this is on the higher end of how I usually vape. That'd probably be why I haven't ran into any issues so far
First, they are rewraps rejected batteries, so the specifications for them are lies, as per my previous message, rewraps are a gamble to what you have, and shouldn't be used in dual (or more) mods.
Second, no matter how careful you are, once nicked, the wraps are very easy to catch on anything, including the mod's contact pins, the charger's pins, etc. and they can simply fall apart, it's just the way shrink wrap goes... it's solid, tight, but once flawed, it becomes fairly fragile. And because of how much power the lithium batteries have, the tiniest cross contact will be an automatic short, destroying the battery and most devices that it happens in/with. If lucky, it'll just vent, and you'll have a chemical mess to clean up (still dangerous as it is hot gases that you shouldn't get exposed to), but not lucky... it goes in runaway and will burst in flames of not worst.
Seriously, these batteries deserve absolute respect, you can't believe how easy it is for them to short due to a bad wrap, and how instant the reaction is.

You could consider using a different wire/gauge and use a lot less wattage... I go with NI200 26, 0.2ohm, and it's 45-55 watts (and in TC mode)
I do similar with SS. I've never gone over 70w unless just testing a few coils.
From the picture they appear to be the three-leg variant which Mooch describes as "Dangerously Overated"
OP are you saying the shop sold you batteries with damaged wraps?
MXJO Yellow/Silver 35A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...a dangerously overrated 20A battery!

Actually got them with my mod, I returned them today and they replaced with new batteries (Same MXJO 3000mah 35v) ... No flaws on these thankfully... I will be looking into getting the first party batteries ASAP once i can find them.... these places are few and far between in Trinidad and the tax and duties on online purchases in my country just skyrocketed this month.
Welcome and glad you joined.

MXJO are fine batteries, I believe Mooch said they're safe at 20 amps. Here's the thing though; why bother with a B bin battery when you can get the real thing? I use them but the most I use them at is 14 watts in my D3 . I wouldn't touch Samsung's batteries since the whole Galaxy S7 thing. Stick with Lg and Sony. I've gotten excellence performance out of the LG HG2, and the VTC4 is IMO the best battery for anything above 20 amps.
I have been running Samsung 25r both blue and green wraps for over 2 years now and never had a problem I have a set of lg he4 and HG2 both of which perform nicely as well and the s7 issue is a totally different type of cell than what we are dealing with and even after changing vendors of batteries they still had the same problem so it isn't the battery it's the phone itself that there is a problem with the board.
What my concern for your situation @Capataro is that you are using very sketchy batteries in a mod that will operate at a much higher level of amperage than they are capable of handling. MXJO cells and AWT are two of the cells that I have seen most frequently vented in a regulated device, so please be careful how hard you push them because they aren't very high ranked, in my opinion they are misrepresented over hyped cells.
Looks like they sold you some used batts and they won't even 're wrap it. Take your money else where.
