I never even hinted that the Imrens are "fake" (please tell me what you mean by that) or crappy. I merely stated that their continuous rating is not 40A, it's 20A. It's a completely different statement and I am very confused by your response. This means they could can be as good as a 25R, HE4, VTC5, or any other 20A cell. I haven't compared them directly yet though. However, they are not 40A cells. There are no 40A 18650's, or even 35A, in existence as of this date.
All of my test results, including graphs, can be seen by clicking the link in my signature. A list of my testing equipment and testing methodology is in my blog.
If you are happy using Imrens, please use them! For any situation requiring a 20A cell they could work very well indeed.
I am also confused by your post regarding 32A being a pulse rating. Which
Imrens are you talking about? If the pulse rating is 32A then the continuous rating will be 20A or less.
