I have an Aegis Legend and it is probably the least efficient dual battery mod that I have.
No Mooch-like stats to back it up, just an observation.
Sure looks kewl though.....

Doesn't change the fact they were the best batteries I ever used,
Doesn't change the fact they're identical to the Samsung 30Q which can be had for $3.50 less and from the exact same vendor. Also doesn't change the fact the reason why people don't like 'em is because normal people (normal, i.e., very much unlike @susieqz ) don't like paying $3.50 extra for a plastic wrap the sole purpose of which is to blatantly mislead people thereby putting these people's safety potentially at risk in exchange for bupkis. You like to be misled? I'm perfectly fine with that. The bottom line is everyone should be free to decide for theirself, and that correct information can and does help those trying to make their own decision. Being misled and still wanting to continue to be misled usually doesn't.

I don’t like rules generally speaking but I think they are helpful and not intrusive or oppressive here on VU. If they didn’t have them you’d bring out the worst in people. Racists and other insecure people would say terrible things and it would turn this forum into a place idiots would go to say ignorant shit and try to get a rise outta people. It would undermines the reason this forum is here and why me and most members frequent it. It’s here to teach and learn about our life saving hobby. On ecf a while back someone went rogue and started posting pornographic pics on all the threads. Now I can appreciate porn as much as the next guy but when I’m in the mood I know where to go and when I’m not I don’t want to open a thread and see that shit. It’s a shock to the system and while not offending me it’s the reason for rules. It may offend someone else who leaves instead of sharing valuable knowledge which would suck. So basically the rules, which I don’t care for, aren’t here to keep me in line, they are here for idiots that like to cause frustration and who would eventually make this wonderful place terrible.
Oh and to keep on the subject, I try to avoid buying rewraps and the best batteries for my needs are the LG HG2<Sony VTC6<Samsung 30q in that order but the difference is so slim I just get whichever is cheapest when I’m looking to buy.

I've been using the brown LG HG2 3000mah batteries in a dual 18650 configuration.

I've been using Samsung 25r's and Sony VTC5a's as well but the LG's beat them both out.
By FAR on the 25r's and just barely on the VTC5a's.

I have heard good stuff about the molicels but haven't gotten my hands on any yet.
Been Vaping since 2017 and the LG HG2 Browns I got from IMR(and my first choice after some research, on here as well, into batteries)are THE BEST/LONGEST BATTERIES I've had in those 4yrs. Tried to get another set when I upgraded my mod(had a Think Vape Finder250 triple battery mod as my second mod/first was a cheap built in battery Sigeili I got from the local Vape Shop after the 2 little cigar like vapes would only last 1hr then 2hrs and the kid there said "Dude, you gotta go big or go home", which I concur to at all times and thanked him for my stanky snatch ways), and all they had at IMR(only reliable shop I knew of at the time)where the yellow LG batteries which are dogshite and only last half a day in a new dual battery Aegis Legend mod(my Think Vape was also dogshite and started to break within the first 2 weeks, and culminated in the breaking after 13 months to the point of interoperability! So no more spending over a hundo for a mod! Also the Vapresso major mod back in 2019 or 2020 whatever was Number 1 at the time, was junk and broke in 6 months or so. So I went with the waterproof/dustproof one, but it sucks juice, and is harsher than the DNA or Vapresso mod with the same exact juice(I only smoke Coumarin Pipe as all that fruity crap is exactly that CRAP for kids). I'd really like a more natural 90VG/10PG Tobacco/Vanilla Bean blend that's not insanly expensive(like no more than $30 for a 120ml bottle with shipping). Cause right now from my local aszhat vape shop I get 80/20VG blend 12mg 60ml for $12, and every 5 purchases I get my next 60ml bottle for $1 so it's a steal, and easy as I'm a busy dude! But I'm the type that if anyone said let's take this primo $40 a gram green and roll it up in a raspberry blunt I paid $1.50 for I'd smack em upside the head and yell "What the fux is wrong with you, you aszhat"? And I don't smoke green, even though it's legal where I'm at! But you get my point. So tried to buy the pink Samsung 30's at the local Vape Shope when IMR was sold out of all their good batteries in 2020, and got given pink IMREN batteries instead. I called to say that, and they wouldn't accept them back even though I live 6 minutes away from said store. NO REFUNDS, even though they where at fault! Typical. And that's why I completely agree with that wild west comment! You know how many times I've actually had to defend myself and or my property, and how many times I've called the po po and had them do nothing but file a report? The number is crazy weighted to my side! I've only had to do it 3times in my life. But have had bad shit happen over 20 other times! Nothing has ever culminated possitively with following the rules of society. Just saying. The rules are crap, and meant to be changed for a reason! As for as censoring......I stand with Dee Snider! And the other 2 kids who don't like to be censored for saying a few words that people think are bad words. Their not. Just different words than what a few people think is polite. Carry on, and the Brown LG HG2 batteries are crap! DO NOT BUY THEM!;) PS thanks to the mods for new places to buy batteries from, and I might try those Molicel ones, as I've heard good things about them. But tbh the pink Samsung ones, gotta stay away from as every single Samsung thing I've bought over the past 18yrs has broken...usually right after the 1 or 2yrs warranty was up, and I was up the proverbial shite creek with a hefty price tag on top of it! Remember the first Blu-Ray players where like $400 dollars? Yeah... Imagine the first 4G cell phones too, the first 1080P TV's as well...and those fancy Red Washer and Dryers that looked all sci fi....Fux Samsung and you can take that to the bank. I'm sure not much has changed, as my Dads 1yr old tablet just died right after it's warranty was up too!
