Need help picking the best battery for Sub Ohm Vaping

[ph0kused]

Deep severely comparing to what ?

Sorry about that lol I didn't type what I was comparing it to... I'm comparing them to these: IMR 18650 1500mAh Li-MN 3.7v rechargeable lithium battery



I have no actual hard data to back-up what I'm saying, but as someone who basically runs nothing but .5ohm - .8ohm setups, the Orangies MNKE 1500mAh seem not to dip as bad as the SX22 orbies.

I get a nice consistent vape out of my MNKE's for about 4 hours, after the 4 hour mark, I toss a freshie in.

Disregard my old-... Panny CGR's... that's for my "driving setup" RSST Gensis style atty running 1.0ohm single coil 26g kanthal

Just speaking in terms of consistency, i prefer my MNKE's, I don't know a lot about batteries, I just buy stuff and try it.

Something must be wrong,

SX22 beats AW, CGRs, Sony, and MNKE pretty badly at all high amp tests .

hmmm

SX22

pulse - 29a
continuous - 22a​

MNKE

pulse - 60a
continuous - 30a​

rt?

Do you have links any clear comparisons?

my question:

Sony US18650VTC4 2100mAh

or​

MNKE IMR18650 1500mAh


With the Sony's coming in @ only $4 more / 2, price isn't an issue. They both seem to have similar specs (30a/60a) on power.

Try them, and you will see what I am talking about.
Battery can be rated 100A, it doesn't mean anything. Only performance is what matters.
SX22 beats them all.

Well, I'm certainly not buying 6 new batteries anytime soon.

Presently using a Panasonic NCR18650PF in my VV/VW, but just want something more powerful for a mech. Seems that the Sony US18650VTC4 has em all beat in terms of low resistance and power, but I haven't heard so much about them.

Then just go for new US18650VTC5

yeah... I'm aware of their existence, and supposedly is just the VTC4 with longer life, but I haven't been able to find anything about if that longer life actually translates into longer effective power in the short-term > 3.7v.
