Any experience With LG HG2's

I just ordered, 4 LG 18650 HG2's after doing tons of research! I never use more than
.5ohms

Does anyone have experience with these??

Im no expert, but in my experience the LG HE2's have worked great for me. I have a married pair in my Sig 150, and I can go almost a week before I put them back on the charger. (after work vaping, maybe 4 hrs a night). I just purchased the HE4's from Genuine Cells for $11.00 free shipping. (Pair)

I'm currently using them in an ipv d2. 2 get me through the day using TC at 40 joules. They last significantly longer then 25r samsungs.

I may pick up a pair or two in a couple weeks. My IPV 3 Li will be here shortly, and I have two pair 25R's coming in. I may put the HG2's in when I get a tank, maybe even with an RDA. I have heard great things about them, the tests show promising results, quite similar to 25R's. I assume they aren't recommended as often as the 25R and Sony batteries because most people are into this whole cloud chasing thing, and building extremely low. Maybe.

I am looking forward to using some of these batteries when I do order them. I'll post my opinions, for what they're worth. :)
 
I am excited to use them in my Vapor Shark rDNA 40! I have been using the original LG 2500mah that is included and I have a pair of VTC5's I use on my mech Mod, but these LG's are the highest Mah batteries, that I could find!

I was interested in the purple Efest 3100mah 20a batteries but everyone says stay away from them, because they are really 4-6a

I have noticed a huge improvement on life in my sig 75 compared to my samsungs but the samsungs are about 6 months old, they seem to be working great so far:)

I've got 6 sets of hg2's. Hands down out perform anything else I've tried and last a great deal longer than any others I've had too. Just understand that how long they last all depends on your power and how much you use your device. I run around .15 generally and Vape alllllll day so I usually use 2 sets a day. Whereas my wife is also at .15, but makes one set last 2-3 days.

I'm running a set along side a couple of pairs of HE2 in my Sigelei 100W. So far after a few weeks of use, they last a little longer but nothing significant. Not enough to justify the extra cost over HEx or 25R for me. This is vaping at between 60W and 80W.

Different mods and different vaping styles may give different results though. Glad I tried them, and I might pick up another pair to try in a parallel mosfet box (when I get a decent one), see how they handle themselves unregulated. As it stands, I'll be buying green 25R from now on, unless I need more than a 20A CDR.

I don't find them that good to be honest. 25R's beat them for me. They work really well in my fiancees device though, and do last longer.

With me, I find they sag a lot more than a 25R so last LESS than a 25R does in my mods.My fiancee uses 20 watts and under though, I use higher, so I think that is why.

They are a 20 Amp battery though, so I can not call them 'bad' batteries.

I have 6 LGHG2 batteries and they've worked pretty great so far.

Do you find they last longer than 25R's? As all of mine just have a lot more sag than the 25R, so they actually don't last as long as a 25R, at half battery I get check battery as they sag below empty on the battery life bar.

Thats why I just use 25R's, I know they are safe, and they seem to be the standard battery recommended, so for now-untill something much better/better enough to merit buying, I will just stick with them TBH.

I love them. One of them will run my Sigelei 30 watt mini all day with a 0.50 ohm coil at about 22 watts.

Hmm, maybe I will try them in the Sigelei Mini-most of my vaping is done low wattage, we are talking about the LGHG2 though yes? If it runs well in the Sig30 mini then I may have a use for them after all :). (I do use them, but they just don't last as long-maybe in the sig they will)

Do you use them married in dual battery devices or do they work well for you in single battery mods as well? For some reason, they seem not to for me :s

I generally run them in my single 18650 mods. If I vape at low to mid rang watts (on a 75w max device) they last just me just about all day but if I vape at 60w or above I have to change em out half way through the day. I do chain vape and generally vape all day long with short staggered breaks. I usually don't feel like I get much battery sag but maybe that's cause I swap out and rotate freshly charged batteries instead of using the same ones over and over. The only time I have ever had a battery low warning with the LGHG2's was when I as trying to vape the full 75w in my eVic VTC mini and about 3/4 way through the battery It gave me the warning. I've only had one pair of 25R's that I used when I first started vaping and they were good but personally I prefer the LG's for my single 18650 mods. Maybe that will change in the future but for now I think they preform quite well.

HG2s are the foshizzle I have 6 of them married to my ipv 3li vr and they perform very nicely. You can't go wrong with the brown turd!

The panasonic 50amps are what you seek in the 26650 flavor.

Joe pimped then once and never saw them again.
I have found more frog fur, rocking horse turds and boar tits than another deal on those batteries.
