I recently got a ipv D2 and reused the LG HE4's that I had laying around. I have never had any other batteries before and was wondering if the performance will be fine using those, or am I better off getting something else?

I mostly using my rta/RDAs in temp control, .08-.17 ohm, 20-40 watts/joules (possibly try higher)

With a variable wattage, regulated mod the only thing that determines the battery draw (amps) is the amount of watts you have it set to, not the ohm's of the coil, like in a mechanical mod.

With a HE4 you should be good to about 60 watts. (60watts maximum / 3.2 volts low cut off X 1.1 for 90% efficiency of the board gives you 20.625 amps) The battery is rated at 20 amps.

I personally rotate HE4's, 30Q's, HG2's, and 25R's in my D2. I run from 30J up, and have never had a problem.

ok. I was thinking of picking up a few other batteries and a nitecore d2, just because I am not liking the D2 barrel plug charging solution it has.
Performance wise, the ones I have, and the ones you listed, will all be very similar right? Except for battery life between the 2500 and 3000mahs?

They are pretty close in performance. The 30Q's are only rated at 15A, but I don't push them nearly that hard. I really like the HG2's, they really have a noticeably longer vape time (unscientific). With the 25R's/HE4's I am running 3 batteries in 2 days. With the HG2 I get a full day.

I have the i2 nitecore and love it. I have had it over a year, and it has been flawless. I am tempted to pick up one of the new efest or xtar chargers to get a bit faster charge time though. When you charge 4 on the nitecore it only puts out .375A per battery. Some of the other ones will charge at 1 amp/battery. When you are charging 4 3000mah batteries, it takes a while at .375A ea, but they do stay cool.

HE4 batteries are actually a bit more powerful. The number fools people. 4 came after 2.

Both are 20a CDR batteries, neither is more 'powerful' than the other.

I love my LG HE4 35A 2500MAH 3.7 volt batteries. They should be fine for most devices. The AMR batteries I just got for my Snowwolf are too strong for some mods so the LGs are great to own.

The LG he4 is a 20a CDR battery, there is no such thing as an 18650 battery that has more than a 30a CDR.
There is no such thing as a battery that is 'too strong for some mods'.

May want to read @Mooch & @Baditude blogs on batteries.

All that info is wrong. These must be brand new. 32a continuous discharge also is real. Just click the link. I bought from there.

Nothing new about them.
Another re wrapped & falsely labeled battery.

Maybe you aren't aware that many companies re wrap cells and print false amp claims on the label.
Imren is well known for this.

If you take time to read @Mooch battery tests & blog you'll get a better understanding.

    It might say 32A on the wrap but, I assure you, that figure is an exaggeration. All of their batteries test out to a lot less than the rating on the wrap. Same as the vast majority of the non-Samsung, Sony, and LG batteries.

    It's not on a wrap. It's on the big hard cardboard box. Inren is an authentic brand and other brands have more anps than you believe. It's ok to be wrong sometimes.

    I hope we can both agree that it's ok to be wrong sometimes.

    I've actually bench tested three Imrens (over a dozen discharges for each), including the 40A purple and yellows, and both of the 40A Imrens tested out to only 20A. I may be biased but I would trust anyone's bench testing to what a box says. I've also bench tested dozens of other batteries and the results speak for themselves.

    If you're confusing battery ratings with battery capabilities, I understand. Lots of people do. No one is saying the Imrens can be used for vaping at 40A. That's pulsing the battery and is much easier on it. But any battery rated 15A or more can be pulsed at 40A. It's a capability, not a rating. And there's a huge difference between the two. Are you actually saying that the Imrens have fully twice the continuous current rating of a Samsung 25R?

    I didn't think they were fake or crappy because I get 2 days of chain vaping out of them and great power at 170W. Efest I heard were fake. I have the LG HE4 25a 2500mah and they seem less powerful. My friend tested my LG HE4s so they are real as hell. Still good but these new ones I believe have a 32a continuous discharge. My friend tested his own inren before.

    To those of you who are curious about the new no name battery brand Imren, I just wanted everyone to know that they actually are high quality cell batteries. My local vapor shop sells them, and I personally tried one. They don't have the highest MaH rating, but they do have a true 40A continuous crank. Unlike the vamped brand batteries, which are 20A cont. 40A pulsing, these batteries are true 40A batteries. They have solid cells and hold up well in sub-ohm vaping. Happy Vaping! :D

    Please provide a video link and graphs to substantiate such a statement. I have 4 of those batteries and while I have no access to the $3000.00 -$8000.00 dollar Oscilloscope with all the other implements attached to said scope to be able to test batteries properly, I can do nothing but use what senses I have. And going by those Imren's up against my Sony vtc5s, they feel quite impressive in all my devises ( I have over 50. From the standard single battery mech mods to a couple of multi battery parallel wired mech mods and one mech mod wired in series. I also have many vv/vw devises from the 15w vamo single battery type up to and to include 3 Ipv 3s upgraded to 165w, One Ipv 3li upgraded to 200w, 2 sigelei 150s, 1 Ipv4 upgraded to 120w, 1 180 3 battery god mod and a 200w Snow wolf. I also have some 30w ones some 60 w ones too) They certainly beat out my Samsung 25rs easily . So please supply evidence that can quantify your statements. Otherwise I will take it (as others I think should too) that you simply came to "rant" and that you do not have such evidence. So until such time. Your whole post is full of assumptions, assertions and accusations that hold no merit.
