After a lot of questions on Moding and batteries and stuff I decided to take everybody's do the research so I decided to drop the 26650 Efest 3500 and upgrade to

Probably a better battery than the Efest.

MNKE was recently purchased by IMREN, a not so reputable company (they over-rate their 18650 batteries' specifications). It will be interesting to see if they continue to make the 26650 MNKE batteries a high quality battery and not give it misleading specifications.

"IMREN (formerly MNKE)- Top 10% are available to consumers, their top 5% are reserved for car companies only. Since IMREN bought out MNKE can no longer call them a top cell manufacturer. Not because they are no longer making good batteries, but because the bare cells sold to the public are grossly over inflated when it comes to their amp ratings.

Recently companies are putting the burst amperage limit or active cooling limits on their batteries and selling them as such. Sony is an exception. The VCT4/5 in the spec sheet both state that they require active cooling for anything over 20A. They were never meant for vapers, and did not advertise them as such. It was vaping companies that labeled them 30A cells. Efest and IMREN are two of the worst perpetrators of this practice. There is no cell on the market rated for 2000mAh capacity or above that can do above 20 amps continuous without active cooling. Burst ratings are just that, they can do a high amperage for 2-5 seconds, but more than that you begin to damage the cells. You want to run batteries at their continuous rate, never for their burst. This is the danger of sub-ohming and not knowing the ins and outs of your batteries." -- A Beginner's Guide to Lithium Batteries

Its the best in 26650 ATM out side of the Panasonic 50 amp u can't get

And recommended here every privately done test on this battery I've read is a continuous of 20amp i'm running dual parallel The lowest I build is .15 that's 28amps I'm going to use the 50% diminishing returns in the 2nd parallel battery Rating so 2 20amp in dual parallel I'm only going to build to 30 amps

Yeah, if you notice I wrote that blog. I was merely supplying new info to you that I had recently found out which I quoted and supplied the link to that info.

IMHO, the Orbtronic 26650 5200mah 20 Amp CDR looks like its a little better. More mah, and the same 20 amp CDR as the MNKE (3800mah 20A CDR).

Don't sweat it, I think you still got a good battery.
