I agree with the overstated mah rating and I am not sure if these are just rewraps but they do NOT last as long as my LG HE2's or my vtc5's, I wish I could get more sony batteries 
I just found out from my supplier (I work in a b and m) that they resumed manufacturing of the vtc line but they have moved the plant into the Philippines and QC is garbage at this point (anyone have a confirmation on that btw?) I like my LG and sony although the sony's are old and dying now, so sad, but the MXJO is not bad and supports my builds, it just does not give a good punch with my builds and does not last as long so all of that said I prefer the LG over anything coming out right now, I even have some of those green imren 38 amp but although they give a good punch initially they die faster than the MXJO do, ugh, I want my sony's back!!!!

Please post a link to your video of you metering a .07 build slapping in one of your brilliantly engineered batteries and vaping it for us.
Here is one at .08, did not feel like rewrapping again lol but close enough for your ask of proof I do believe and doing all this one handed really did suck lol

Two notes on above linked video, did not realize my phone had that bad of quality (or maybe because it was uploaded through my internet lol) and my wife did not know I was recording so do not mind her in the background...she still sounds cute though
I have not tried the samsung but now have another to go scope out lol
Oh, one last note, I am NOT promoting or encouraging anyone to do these kinds of super sub ohm builds, simply stating they can be done {Moderated} lol so before anyone says it I do not condone anyone just getting into to this to do what I do, I have the experience and equipment necessary to pull these builds off and IMO I do it safely. Here are some pics of me wrapping and building this coil for added proof (not sure if this is necessary at this point lol) and the coil was at .07 but after building and firing and compressing and wicking it was .08 so that is why I did not rewrap for this video posted above...happy vaping everyone

Efest 26650 3500 mah
32 amp continuious 64 maximum. I own two of them. I can bouch For Efest and MXJO with there IMR 18650's. Have 2 of each also, at 2500mah. I'm just waiting for the longevity test. I alternate batterys and going to see which dies first MXJO or EFEST. But so far no troubles from any. Efests voltage curve is starting to curve sharper I think. All charging done on a NitecoreD4 (low setting for 18650's, or normal if 3+batterys in dock).
I may be wrong but I do believe we were all referring to the 18650's in this thread and not the 26650 counter parts, just saying...
I wish "sony" was back in japan manufacturing their own batteries, ugh, stupid tsunami
I'm pretty sure you were maxing that battery out considering if you do the math of Amps=Voltage/Resistance (4.2/.07) you're hitting 60 amps! Almost DOUBLE what even the manufacturer rates them at. The fact that you have to take that long of a drag to produce a cloud like that suggests you're not getting the 252(!) watts that the coils SHOULD be pulling. Unless you have the lungs of a free diver that vapor should have been dense and HOT. Pull the RDA and throw it on a 26650 or dual 18650 unregulated and I guarantee it will hit FAR harder. The fact that you've constantly done this without venting only shows that MXJO makes or rewraps quality cells, not that it's some super sub-rated battery. Asking a battery to produce twice it's rating is reckless at best, simply dangerous at worst.
Kudos to MXJO producing/choosing a quality cell which I'm still skeptic that it really IS an HE2 which is still a tried and true quality cell. People saying it is an HE2 is not a bad thing they just know the LGs are found for a few bucks less. If that yellow label makes you feel better then go ahead and buy it. It's not like they're twice the price. What's a couple bucks?
I just get anxious who will only read that first message and think this is OK as obviously it's not. Vaping doesn't need any stories to spread like wildfire of someone having a battery venting in their face because you got away with it. There's enough urban legends that idiots tout as fact to verify the evils of vaping. We don't need authentic ones. At the least I'm thankful you later stated NOT to do this.
LG has tested these cells and literature is easily found. They were pushed FAR beyond their ratings and understandably pulled back to "safe" levels when rated. No company in their right mind is going to sell a battery that vents at 40 amps as a 35 amp cell. Just because I can get my 20 amp AWs to chuck clouds on a quad coil @ 0.12 ohms (35amps) without heating up doesn't make it even remotely safe. Although the fact that that same coil hums along on an HE2 but hits like a truck on a 50 amp rated 26650 tells me there is a limit to just how much power a battery will deliver, be it safe, shorting, or venting.
Vape safe and vape on!

Just to clarify my views on this I was not implying that they are rated for what I used them for or even that what I did was even entirely "safe" I was simply trying to put some positive feedback out there about a battery that a LOT of people bash simply because they are NOT and expert and quite frankly, neither am I. I wanted to provide proof that they do in fact support sub ohming in a way most people entirely reject but that was not the point either. As a matter of fact the video was originally made for another member who insisted these batteries would vent and permanently damage my pretty face and as an afterthought since I was already commenting on this post I added as the proof that so many ask for but no one ever provides, I felt some physical evidence to my claims that they are not a bad battery was needed. Once I posted the video I made it quite clear to not try this without a lot of experience dealing with sub ohming and that proper testing equipment is necessary. I just get angered with all the negative posts about sub ohming when so many people do in FACT do it and some go lower than I. I do not bash the people who do not sub ohm and I feel it is unnecessary when the people who do not even do it try to say it is so dangerous when they by their own admission have never even tried it. On a final note, and I find this so satisfying, everyone who ranted and raved about NEVER going below a .5 ohm build because it was so dangerous are the same people building a .1 build with their new "safe" DNA 40 boards, I mean really???? lol, food for thought and happy vaping everyone!!!!
Oh...one more side note, the vapor WAS dense and hot and in my honest opinion, only good for competitions...but without doing it yourself or knowing MY genetic structure you would be hard pressed to prove your opinion over mine and the same goes for me, to each their merry own
Just to add more fodder to the conspiracy machine... AWT - MXJO. Same battery. Purchased at two different B&M shops in my area for exactly the same price. I asked for samsung 25r...sorry we can't get them but we have these.
Neither one 'feels" like 2500mah to me. They don't last me all day in a small low power mod. I have nothing to compare to at this point so until I do... can't say. I'm looking forward to the samsungs arriving to compare.

Exactly my point, everyone wants to say it has to be an LG HE2, but mine last longer than these MXJO do and I am pretty sure that AWT is the same battery too just like you said BUT neither FEELS anything like a LG HE2 to me...just saying
Try it with nichrome 80 of either 24 or maybe 22 gauge, I prefer the 24 gauge though and see the AMAZING difference in temperature, that is why people say I can't hit it like that too cause they are using kanthal instead of nichrome 80, it is WARM but not overly HOT like kanthal...but make sure it is nichrome 80 and not any other grade like the 20, 40 or 60... I get mine from lightning vapes and if you ever used "royal" wire that is what it is...so you could just get royal wire instead if you want to overpay alot for some fancy packaging and name brand crap lol
Be warned though that nichrome is a little finicky to build if you compress your coils...you want to pulse it to heat it up just slightly red and compress, you do NOT want to just hold that button forever and get it GLOWING red hot, it will sag and just fall into your RDA
