New Fakes of VTC6 on the market

Don't get me wrong. Both the HG2 and 25R are decent cells. But there are even better options.

Name them don´t be shy...

thanks a lot mate, on the next order maybe consider Sony or Sanyos aswell

Frankly speaking I use the HG2 for ages, next to the 30Q. I hardly feel any difference, but I vape only at around 50 Watt with the uwell Nunchaku. My mod is AsMODus Colossal. H-A-P-P-Y

It basically depends upon each individual's vaping needs and expectations.

You don't need a 25 or 30 amp battery if you never vape over 30 watts on a regulated mod. A Samsung 30Q 15A 3000mah battery would provide longer battery time than a Samsung 18650-20S 2000mah 30 amp or Sony 18650VTC5A, 2500 mah 25 amp. It has the necessary current rating to easily achieve up to 45 watts.

We should choose our batteries by how we plan to use them by setting our priorities (current requirement vs run time) via the amp rating and capacity rating.

I already did

I don’t see how anyone can detect differences with cells when using a regulated device. The quality of the vape, as in how hard it hits, will be depended on the regulator chip assuming the batteries under evaluation are up to spec. I’ve even looked at this through Escribe. The cells operating time do differ.

On a mech however, how different cells performs at a said voltage can be noticeable.

Runtime can be measured via joules counter in certain mods like the Aleader Funky, and cyclelife obviously by the necessity to recycle cells sooner or later.

That is not what I was referring to. I did say “the cells operating time do differ”. Operating time = runtime. But someone mentioned they hardly feel any difference then brought up 2 regulated devices they use. So what exactly does “feel any difference” refer to?

I have 4 LG hg2’s; 4 Sony VTC6’s; 4 Samsung 30Q’s
I’ve used these three cells for several years now (same model not same cells) and I’ve never noticed any difference in the runtime of them. They even seem to last around the same before a drop in performance. Having said that when it’s time to get new 18650’s I just buy whichever is selling for the least amount of money at that time. I use regulated devices and vape between 40-60 watts with dual cell mods. The only requirements I have when purchasing new batteries is reputable dealer and no rewraps.

By regulated Mod it refers always to running time. Thought it was clear, but you are right...I didn´t mention that.
I think people who never used a mech mod would always refer to operating time...
