Imren imr 18650 2000mah 40a

[VHRB2014]

What is the consensus on these? Are they what they claim to be?
Will they be ok for my slightly sub ohm-ish builds. Say .3-.4 and above. I hear so much about batteries that don`t realize the claims the makers are making, and I`m not familiar with this name.

I know the name does not end in FIRE, so I count that`s a good thing. But they are new enough Iv not heard anything about them. And with the price of Sony`s ever increasing, I would like to know there is a viable alternative, whose name does not end in FIRE, :?)
Pricing seems good to when compared to Sony`s.

TIA,
Randall

How to Spot Fake Sony Batteries



Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

* RTD Vapor

With a {NOT ADVISABLE} build on a fresh battery you are drawing over 46 amps.

Not even close. I am pretty sure they are 20A at best and thats probably giving them 10 to 15 amps generously. There are no 38amp 18650 continuous rated cells. vtcs are the flagship with 30A being the highest continuous rated cells on the market. Dont believe the mediocre marketing hype that companies are trying to spoon feed you to make a buck. They are more concerned about their bank account than your safety.
