Thanks for the replies...
While I've got you guys on the line, I'm thinking about replacing my efest '35A' 18650 purples...I'm not feeling too trusting of the efests these days...
RTD had VTC4s listed...are they back in production?
Anyway, my impression is that the VTC line is what you want for vaping with an 18650...
Thoughts?
Many thanks

It is my understanding that the VTC4 that RTD has is old stock, but I could be mistaken.
Samsung 25R is better in every way over the VTC4 in my opinion, I've not touched my VTC4's since my 25R's arrived because they just simply hit harder longer(they give the VTC5 a serious run for its money at certain drain levels).
The Keepower 4200 is a solid battery as well from the reviews and graphs I've seen, at 10A it seems to have ~10% more usable capacity than the MNKE 3500mah.
Edit: I personally would not recommend using the Keeppower 4200 at over 20A since I have no experience at all with it.

+1 on mnke. and 25 r
Mnke is the granddaddy of subohm batteries when there was only one. I would trust them to know what they are making.
The 25r has one of the best discharge curves for mid amperage of any of the cells today.
the Keeppower 4200 batt is about 2mm longer (67mm to be exact) and will not fit in certain 26650 Mec's, unless your using a telescopic so be aware yet they are good batts; i own 2 of them and they will not fit the Hades or the StingrayX. or the Helmsman unless you like adding o-rings to your tubes.

I have a copper 4nine 26650 on the way from desire...their site says it's 82mm.
Yeah. I wasted my money on two of those. Them bastids are too long for my Super T and King Kong.
the only mod i use mine is in the 4 Guardian Gods telescopic, so at least not a total waste and plenty of battery life to spare.
picked the mod up @ optimusvape.
So, the MNKE has a maximum continuous discharging current of 20 A.
Assuming a fully charged batt...
at .3 that's 14 A
at .25 that's 16.8 A...getting close to 17.
What's a reasonable safety margin?

I also see: Maximum Instantaneous Discharging Current 60 A
I'm guessing that's the same as pulse?
I've been staying away from pulse, and going only by continuous...

Yes, that's the same as pulse. Should be limited to 5-7 second pulses for "safe" pulse usage.
So, are people vaping .1 with this batt, drawing 42amps even though it's 20 A continuous?
I would think the idea would be to keep the draw a bit under 20 A...
What about AWT 60 amp batteries? I have a pair running in series in a box with a 20 amp, .42 ohm build
Ive pushed them to 25-30 amps using normally before, and fired a 70 amp build for maybe a total of 2 seconds, and the batteries dont seem to be losing any performance or acting weird. No melting wrappers or cheetah print like my VTCs. I think the 60 amp ratings were found out to be pulse ratings, but I still would feel safe pushing to that limit (in series at 60 amps it would be way too much power for anybody though)
