Sony VTC-5, or Panasonic makes a decent high amp battery. I own a couple efest batteries and am disappointed in them.

I can only personally vouch for the Sony. My efest are not high amp and only see a 1.6ohm coil but have a hard time keeping the wattage up.

I think the sony vtc5 is the current undisputed king of the 18650 realm right now. They are $10/ea or less dozens of places around the net... I personally bought mine from mount baker vapor... I know them, I trust them.
Sony is 30A. The Efest Purples are 35A.
How low they can handle varies based on what kind of MOD you're using. Are you using variable or mech?
With a mech an fully charged batteries (4.2v) and no voltage drop, you're good with the Efest Purple 35A batteries down to .12Ω and are vaping at 147W, though I'd wouldn't go below .2Ω just to have some headroom. With freshly charged Sony VTC5 30A batteries in a mech the floor is .14Ω (and vaping at 126W), though again, I'd leave some headroom.
On a variable there are too many variables to consider for a simple answer.
I use both, though lately I've been favoring the Efest Purples in 18350, 18500, and 18650 because they offer more amperage headroom than other batteries.

That's correct. Z Vapor tested them with high end equipment. you can watch the video on youtube. The Sony's are 30 amp continuous/ 60 amp pulse the purple efest 35amp are 35 amp pulse 20 amp continuous. Still plenty for vaping because we are pulsing not holding the button down forever.

I did not know where to put it
