Kemosabe sir you forget the biggest bonus AW cells have had in the past over LG, Sony, and Samsung- longevity. My Sony VCT4's lost 20% of their capacity after only 231 and 233 charges. They were never ran lower than 3.61v, charged only at .5a on an xtar sp2 charger, never left to sit for more than 24 hours, etc. VCT5 were similar at 226 and 229. Samsung 25r I haven't personally tested but according to even their own tech sheet they should lose 50% capacity after 250 charges. Shortest lasting AW cell I ever had (with proper charging and handling) was 496 charges. Just trying out the new cells, but according to AW they should last >500 charges, and based upon past history will be shocked if they don't.
I have AW's that still work after years of light use. My LG HG2's and Sony VTC6 aren't exactly giving me what I expected. With those I get about 8 hours at 10W in a pico and it's time to charge.
OTOH, Mooch's graphs show the LG HG2, Sony VCT6, and the Samsung 30Q to be the winners in vape time. Go figure. It's all supposed to be about the combination of MAH and amperage. My old AW's specs don't even begin to compare to the specs of the latest and greatest 18650's.
