Below is a longer, original version of a post I made in another thread....it seems like we spend a lot of time arguing over the same points about our favorite batteries so I would like to start a threat about which battery is everyone's favorite and why they are a "fanboy/fangirl" of said battery instead of arguing it's better than another. Mine are Samsungs INR18650-20R as stated below....I also have sony's, panasonics, and LG's but Samsungs are my favorite....SO....What's your favorite battery and why?
"
I think this kinda took a left turn....someone was looking for batteries and the conversation turned left at albuquerque and has spun into a fanboy argument that is starting to rival "who shot first...Han or Greeto?" we all know in our hearts it was Han, but Lucas had to screw it up and remake it anyways. Anyways...I guess I should post something battery related.....
ALL battery makers seem kinda shady on posting their true specs which is kinda scary if you think about it....if Sony's are 30 amp then great, if they aren't, then we need to know so we don't hurt ourselves. So far, the evidence favors they are 30 amp batteries so that's what I'll go with until we have more solid evidence.
I see a lot of people rag on Sonys, I see a lot of people rag on Efest, and little quips here and there about the others.
But since you played the fanboy card I think that if any battery has a "fanboy" status it would be the Samsung INR18650-20R. They have been rock solid and I have never had a problem with their performance. I didn't even get a sony battery till I bought a VTC 5 a few months ago because I couldn't find the 25R's and wanted longer battery life.
I remember a year ago having to buy 20R's off of flashlight stores and ebay because I didn't see them in the vaping world, true I could have blinked and missed them but I doubt it. All I did back then was comb the internet for vape gear. (I never had a problem getting real Samsungs,) I was naive and had bought several AW's off of Ebay and they were fake...learned my lesson the exspensive way. Then I saw the Samsungs and I liked they had a 20 amp drain and a longer life than the 1600 AW's with only a 4 amp difference and they were like 7 bucks....
I've been using the first two I bought for over a year now and their still going strong and I have a dozen more....but it was months after I started using them that I finally saw them on Sun Vapor's website and I even wrote them about how awesome I thought they were and glad to see them making their way into "mainstream vaping markets" if there is such a thing....and now the VTC's are hard to find you can all of a sudden get 20R and 25R's everywhere. The VTC's are just what they are not only because they have the 30 amp limit but because they got really good exsposure and pimping from the right people. I am also sadly inclined to think that if they didn't have 30 amp limits we would here of more problems than we do...and I don't mean minor issues.
Most Vapors, the vast majority of them don't need more than a 20 amp battery though. It will be more than enough to power all their vaping needs...it's just the small percentage that does happen to also be a lot of us here so the debate rages on.
I don't own any Efest due to my "fanboy" preferences if that's what you want to call it...but I'd take a real Efest over a fake Sony. I'll take safety over shiney any day of the week"
Who's your favorite and Why?
