I will be buying my first mod this week, already know I want a telescoping mod that's kickable and will accept 18350, 18500 & 18650 batteries. Have done my home work on RBA's & battery safety. I ordered 2-Efest 18650 2000 mah batteries & a charger from RTD Vapor, a B&M recommended on Taste Your Juice. However a trip to my local B&M, which has very limited supply & knowledge caught me off guard. He asked me how many amps the batteries had that I'd ordered. I had no idea, it was no where in their description. I had to go to Taste Your Juice battery chart to find the information for myself, but that brought me more questions maybe someone can explain to me.
I'm not getting into mods to cloud chase, I'm doing it because I'm tired of replacing ego batteries and Kanger coils. I want something that will last more than 6 months! I'm a heavy vaper, at least a 5 ml. tank per. day, I cycle thru 2-3 1000mAh eGo Twist in a 16-18 hr. day.
I see everything from a Aw 18650 1600 mah, 20 amp to a Samsung ICR18650- 30A 3000 mah, 5.9 amp on this chart. What would probably give me the longest vape time considering I'll be wrapping my coils around 1.8 ohms.

Old dogs are never to old to learn, Thanks for continuing my education!;)

Whichever one has the highest mah rating will last you the longest. Honestly the Efest 18650 batteries should do you fine, just throw the spare on the charger immediately after you change it out if possible. Of course that's to avoid any delays in continuing to enjoy your vape.

Your current batteries have an amp rating of 15 amps. That's safe down to a fairly low ohm rating (.5). If you don't intend to cloud chase, you'll have no problems with finding a battery to suit your needs.

I have an AW 18650 2000mah and it goes around 1000 puffs or all day for me. Probably about the same as you for ml and egos. My coils are around 1.6 so you should be fine with the efests you ordered.

I use a Sigelei ZMax V5 telescoping and no need for a kick. I use 18490s for on the road days, 18350s for in the office days and the 18650 on weekends.
