Looking for some insight on 26650 batteries

[Neonjoe]

I understand there are a ton of threads floating around, but nothing that seems to reach any consensus. What I am looking for is the best 26650 battery for sub-ohm vaping. I'm going to be running dual 26650 in series so I'll have higher voltage than most mods out there. With this I'm looking for batteries with very high continuous discharge amperage and it's been just short of impossible to find any realistic comparisons.

Which battery out on the market right now is currently topping the performance for 26650's? I ordered these today to test them out and see what I think is best since I can't find good information anywhere about which ones are actually performing the best.

2 pc EFEST 26650 HIGH DRAIN 32A 64A BATTERY 3.7v Rechargeable Li-mn 3500mAh (371112713067)
2 pack MNKE 26650 HIGH DRAIN BATTERY 3.7v Rechargeable Li-Mn 3500mAh (390920580314)
2 IMREN IMR 26650 HIGH DRAIN 60A BATTERY 3.7v Rechargeable Li-MN 4200mAh PURPLE (391023220909)


Any suggestions for others that are a must try?

Doesn't LG & Samsung make 26650s? Give those a whirl!
But be sure to post your results cause I am sure others will have the same questions pretty soon!

BTW will this be a "subjective" test or will you be using verifiable procedures and test equipment? Please provide more information.

I'll try and set up some form of objective measurement, I just need to get my hands on a multimeter first.

A series box wont have many issues with amp limits, as a 10amps builds on a series box is twice as powerful as 10amps on a regular mech, so youll probably be building higher resistance and safer anyways. Im running a 26650 series mod at barely 25 amps and its practically too much power to hit, Im using AWT 60amp pulse 26650's, and enjoyed them but Ive heard that their ratings are overstated and theyre not super common to buy. Ive run my series mod at 70amps (10 amps over the pulse limit, dangerous) for a few seconds and have confirmed that there is NO NEED whatsoever to push both 26650's to their limits at once, thats over 600 watts.
I hear efests are really good for 26650 (better than efests have been at 18650), I can personally say sony 26650's are garbage, the MNKE 26650s are good but not really better than anything else.
Id go for efest or AWT, ready to see the real specs though

MNKE 20A or the new Xtar

Efest. Got 6 of em. 2 for my mech mod. 2 pairs for my unregulated box

I use the dark purple efests 40A 64a pulse and 4200mah. They are running perfect on my devices.

Moved to Batteries and chargers as that seems to be a better fit.
