Safe to use Samsung 30Q 18650 in Aegis Solo?

[Daizical]

I just bought two Samsung 30Q 18650 3000mAh 15A Batteries from 18650batteries.com [https://www.18650batterystore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Samsung-30Q]. The wrap says “not for e-cig or vape use” so I checked the website. Yep says it there too but I didn’t read that far down. I plan to use it in my Geek Vape Aegis Solo. Is it just a case of CYA?

OK up to 45 watts for single cell, or 90 watts for dual battery

Thanks can you recommend a battery that is safe a bit higher? I had it set at 44 watts (though I’m still using my older battery) and just want something higher just in case.

Why not?

I'm using a pair in my Drag 2, the performance is excellent, very near to the VTC6.

About Samsung says, don't worry it's only a disclaimer. Vaping has very bad reputation and Samsung doesn't want people use its products to vape.

General battery safety recommendations

Up to 75 watts per cell:

Up to 90 watts per cell:

Please note, at 75 watts with a single cell the 20S performs better (i.e. gives you more vaping time and heats up slower so it ages noticeably slower during use because the biggest enemy when it comes to battery aging is always heat) when compared to the P26A. With a single cell you'd need to stay several watts below 75 watts before the P26A can trounce the 20S, and, similarly, the P26A, single cell at 44 watts will outperform the 30Q even though safety recommendations are that the 30Q is still nevertheless good up to 45 watts.
