So, the maximum continuous discharge rating indicates how fast/hard you can continuously draw from a battery, (in vaping, holding the mech. button down until the battery runs out). The pulse discharge is for how fast/hard you can draw from the battery in little bursts (say, 5-10 sec. at a time).
Some folks look at the pulse rating, because they are pulsing. MOST folks look at the continuous, because you never know what might happen. A button gets stuck. Your device is firing in a pocket or purse. I always select batteries and build coils considering the max. continuous rating. Any battery that rates a few amps over what you use will be fine.
Better batteries perform better though. A difference you WILL notice in the enjoyment of your vape, which is why you are buying batteries.
Both Bishopheals and pbusardo were raving about this battery (Orbtronic) being better than the AWs but the charts just don't show it. I got four in the mail today and they're charging. We'll see...
I have always taken my approach to batteries from the Burst specs since that is what we use. I am adament about locking the button and if I know I am going to be walking around for a while or something like that where it will be in my pocket then I normally dont take my cloud monster with me.
Plus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . you've got the suit.
Jebus, will you leave my avatar out of it, what I do when I am not on here is none of your BEESness
Hi pdib...In comparison tests that I have seen they beat everything at 3 amps and up....for our purposes they are excellent batteries. As far as why INR vs IMR I have no clue.
Thank you, good sir. So, same chemistry as the Orbitronic PD2900; but, I gather, better performance.

Apparently the forum decided to completely skip over your post from earlier asking about it, and show me a post about 5 below it when I hit the first new post button.
I shall blame it on the bees.

Yeah, I had that happen earlier today. Just checked at the "Komparator". Those do chart out VERY nicely. Thanks for the tip!
Now if someone would just wire a hard short on one of those, throw it in a pyrex pan and video tape it (like that IMR video). . . . . . .

Check out the Sony 30 Amp Battery-Sony SE US18650VTC3.

Available for around $12.00 a pair at FastTech.
They won't dissapoint.

I have two coming.(Sonys)
I found them on Ebay for $11.95 ea shipped, I'll give em a work out and report back. I'm only going as low as .6 - .7 ohms but that's still a pretty good load
They are certainly a lot cheaper at FastTech

I've actually sent one of these (along with a Samsung INR18650-20R) to David at Super-T for testing. Hopefully he'll be able to perform the tests sooner than later...
I've been using both batteries and at the moment I'd give the nod to the Samsung... but I haven't really pushed either of them yet. I think a 0.85 ohm coil is as low as I've gone with either of them. I expect that the Sony will gain the advantage once coils start getting down into the 0.5- ohm range.
The flashlight forum doesn't tell the whole story.
They test batteries at a continuous voltage.
The useage on Mechanical Ecigs is bursts of power.
I put my batteries on a flashlight the other day and they worked an hour.
Than took them off and turned it again and they work fine.
Our useage is 1-5 seconds generally with a waiting period in between.
The true test is to put it on a Mechanical with a Volt Meter and see how they do in
bursts.

Those fasttech sony 30 amp batteries look perfect. Looking forward to additional reviews.
pdib - I understand your logic that a battery that cost 2x is only cents a day, but if that logic is applied to everything in one's life, things get out of control quicky.

I agree with the above statement for the most part. It has been my experience, however, that buying the best that you can reasonably afford up front, saves money in the long run. I can't ever recall having buyers remorse over spending "a little extra" to buy better quality. I can't say the same thing when it come to the times that I tried to save a few bucks.
Buying the Z-Max instead of a ProVari to save $40 comes to mind... Would have been better off to buy the ProVari front and wipe my ... with a $100 bill... I would have out the same amount of money either way.
There is a value curve with everything. The sweet spot is the part of curve that provides the best ratio of utility per dollar spent. Being an avid flashlight forum guy, I know how group-think can get out of hand and people spending beaucoups of money to get an extra 2-3% utility out of something. It gets ridiculous and borders on the 'keeping up with the Jones' mentality. The OP asked for the 'best of the best' and also asked for the best/dollar spent. I was trying to help with the latter aspect of the post.
