    I got a couple LG 2500mah 35A 18650 Batteries that came with my VaporSharks, but they the red ones.
    They last pretty long & I like them :)

    The HE2's are pretty good batteries!
    But they're rated at 20A. The 35A is a "pulse" rating that really can't be used to determine anything about the battery's performance.

    Almost any of our batteries can pulse to 70A. But how long is that pulse? How often can it be pulsed? How hot does the battery get?

    Without the answers to these questions, the rating is essentially useless. I can rate a LG HG2 at 30A burst or 70A burst. Which is correct?

    And if you set up a coil build that draws current at a battery's pulse rating, above the continuous rating, what happens if your mod autofires or your mechanical mod had its button get stuck or accidentally pressed in your pocket? Your battery could vent, or worse.

    In my opinion, only build your coils to draw the continuous current rating of the battery or less. And if you want your batteries to have a long life before needing to be replaced, set up your coils to draw less current than that.
    Thank you @Mooch for such an important information. I hope i didn't bother you. I will read your guides & posts today. But i'm not going to build triple coils or something like that. I just want to be sure that i'm getting the right batteries.

    Not to upset, but look up specs.
    20A continuous

    You didn't bother me in the slightest. Ask away at any time. :)
