battery life

hey guys quick question. I just got some new batteries the sony 30 amp VTC4 its 2100 mah... all I have ever ran before are the red efest 18650 2000 mah I dont remember the amp rating but I know its not 30 amps. question is if I run it the same as usual will the 30 amp battery last any longer as far as run time ? its 100 mah more and I'm sure that will make little difference in the long run but Im wondering if the rating is based on the amp draw. I use a 1.1 ohm coil on my kayfun always. I think fully charged its only drawing around like 15 amps. please correct me if I am wrong. If these batteries have less strain on them they should last longer throughout the day right ? I'm not interested in sub ohming I just needed new batteries and these are better Im told. hoping I might get a couple extra hours in the day out of them.

should get a marginal improvement simply on the basis the vtc4's should sustain their voltage under load a little better. though, they're often marketed as a 2000mah battery as well. just depends on the retailer.

EDIT: i wouldn't expect to see improvement that's obvious unless those efests are horribly over rated and/or degraded.

I would expect better run time from the Sonys. In my experience eFests start out great, but when I use them side by side with AW's within 60 days the eFests run time starts dropping off - a lot - while the AW's are still holding their run time nicely. That extra 100 mAh the 18350 eFests claim is meaning diddly compared to the AW's.

actually you're drawing only 3.81 amps on a 1.1 ohm build if your battery is fully charged. you will notice a slight improvement because vtc batteries can sustain their voltage a little better.
