Best 26650 battery for 100W mod?

[Steamer861]

I have a 26650 SX350J mod I built my self. I use MNKE's IMO 26650 gives about 20% battery life than a good 18650
They take for ever to charge are huge and heavy and just really aren't worth it
IMO dual 18650's are a much better choice

Does anyone have any experience with AWT IMR26650, 5200 mAh, 45A? And what about Vappower IMR26650, 4200 mAh, 40A. The latter is supposed to be a bit longer than usual. I wonder if it would fit in the VF Stout. Anyway, I'm curious whether either one delivers what they claim to do. I found them at fasttech.

You would be wise to believe what Mooch says. It may seem obvious if you know, but what you get with 26650s is more mAh not more CDR, in fact often less.

This reduced current capacity is likely due to the battery not being able to dissipate heat from it's core as well due to the increased size/mass. Now it it was just longer than an 18650 instead of a larger diameter....
Just my thoughts on it. Although I am not a scientist nor have I ever stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

I wouldn't believe any of those claims unless Mooch said it.
When I was looking for mine the consensus was The MNKE's were the best!

Trust Mooch.
He has our best interests in mind not how many batteries he can sell.

The Vappower battery seems to be quite acceptable, but only up to 20A: Test/Review of Vappower IMR26650 4200mAh (Green)

I have to go with @Mooch When I bought 22650, I bought MNKE Orange.

Looks like a decent 15 amp CDR battery. But that is about it.

This over rating has to STOP! Some one can take it at face value and get hurt. How can they get away with it? It's not just fudging the truth a bit it's a ludicrous exaggeration!

Over stating battery specs has been going on longer than vaping has existed.
It is used as a marketing tactic no different than many other examples in many other industries.

In view of Mooch's warning
MNKE Orange 30A 3500mAh 26650 — Do not buy alert I'm not even sure about the MNKE. By the way, they seem to be unavailable in my country. Many trusted vendors do not ship internationally at all. Therefore, my options are quite limited. For the moment, I bought a MXJO from a trusted vendor. In his review of the VF Stout, Mike Vapes seems to be quite satisfied with it.

I'm kind of in the same boat, I pre-ordered the 75 watt 26650 Boxer. After some research, and looking at Mooch's list, I ordered the MNKE from RTD. So I have the batteries, but no mod to test them in yet. I can confirm that they take forever to charge, lol.

You'll be p*ssed to know that the MNKE's are too tall for your 26650 yihi sx350J v2 Boxer mini, I bought a pair early for that same exact reason. Actually you probably already found that out lol it spreads the device and causes the mod to leave large gaps top and bottom. The efest 26650 4200mah are ok they don't last too long. But are a good few mm shorter. Only owned VaporShark regulated box mods with DNA boards prior to this yihi sx350J v2 and have to say battery management is superior with the Evolve products, the yihi loses power as soon as the battery hits 3.7volts, it keeps going but the vape is decidedly lack lustre, its like the yihi will drain that sucker way beyond what is recommended.

I think there are/were 2 different versions of the MNKE batteries, A good one, and a bad one. I got the bad ones, which fit fine, but unfortunately drained in about half a day. So I returned them, and bought the Boxer 26650 batteries, which have been great.

I finally got a "proper" battery for my Stout. Got the Basen Black 4500. Fits like a dream and the power is more than adequate for me. Gonna buy another one shortly since it's about 1/2 the price of the Brillipower.

He gave good ratings to the Green Brillipower which someone asked about before. I just bought a new mod kinda on the fly, and it came with a Brillipower 3500 mah 60 amp battery. I'm kind of disappointed and may try to exchange it. At 75 watts to 90 watts at .33, the battery just won't last me a day which is what I need. I guess I could get a spare, but that's more money again. The 2 bay charger I bought was taxed too at $30 but I wanted to test the mod before the 2 week trial period is over. I doubt they will give my money back, but probably at least an exchange. I wish I knew the C-rating for the battery but I have no idea. I would guess the continuous discharge is 30 amps even though I think they say it's 40.

The continuous discharge rating of the Brillipower most certainly isn't 30 amps. No 26650s have a higher cdr than 20 (possibly the Sony, but haven't seen any tests of that yet).
