Question about batteries

[Reepard]

Have anybody tryed the IMREN Imr 18650 40 Amp. 3000mah and if, are they good.
I'm currently using LG HE4 and Samsung 25R Should I stick with them or are the others better

Check out @Mooch 's blog, he's got several tests on various batteries. However I will say the Imren 40amp is to be handled just like the Efest Purple 38amp, they are both 20amp CDR, maybe 40amp Pulse but what that pulse time is, is not a standard could be 300ms to 4 seconds, not something you should risk. The LG and Samsungs are still better batteries all around compared to the Imren Purples, I own two of the Imrens I got for testing, use them exclusively in my Sigelei Mini 30watt as far I trust them TBH. Looking for higher CDR amp rated batteries then you have the Sony VTC4 and LG HB6 can handle 30amp CDR. But as it stands right now there is "NO 40AMP OR HIGHER CDR" battery on the market at the moment.

Depends on what mod you're putting them in and the kind of draw you expect from them. I am comfortable recommending the 25Rs out to 60 or 70 watts, the Sony VTC4s to about 125 watts or so, and LG HB6s above that. I would stay far away from an Imren re-wrap.

I'll quote @Mooch because he says it so well.
From this thread: Whats the Best Batteries | E-Cigarette Forum

"Up to 15A or 50W = Samsung 30Q or LG HG2
Up to 20A or 75W = Samsung 25R
Over 20A or 75W = Sony VTC4

NOT Efest
NOT MXJO
NOT AWT
NOT Imren
NOT Vappower
NOT Basen
NOT Cloud Chaser

NOT any battery from a company that just buys a Sony, Samsung, or LG battery and puts their own wrap on it. Why buy one of those, for more money, when you can get the actual battery for less money? Just my personal opinion... "

Here are links to some of Mooch's blogs:

• No matter what is printed on the battery wrapper: There are no 18650 batteries with a genuine rating over 30A!
• Links to all his battery tests to date: List of My Battery Tests | Mooch's Blog
• Picking a Safe Battery to Vape With: Table of 18650 Battery Safety Grades | Mooch's Blog

And a couple from @Baditude (another battery/safety expert).

• Baditude's Blog - Table of Contents
• Battery Basics for Mods - The Ultimate Battery Guide

Another essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.​

• Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised

A cautionary blog that reveals that the purple Efest batteries may not have the specifications advertised. Also includes a commentary on "continuous discharge ratings" vs "pulse discharge ratings" of battery specs.​

FYI, the VTC5 is likely only a 20 amp battery, not 30 as widely believed. If seeking a 30 amp battery, the VTC4 is the best choice.

Okay
