LG HG2 or Sony VTC5 for EVIC Mini (max. 25W Vaping)

[flexy123]

Am I right saying that BOTH batteries would be good (and actually overkill), since I am usually vaping Kayfuns around 1.2Ohms and 25W Max?
There was just some confusion that the Sony has 30A vs. the HG2's 20A, but I *think* this would only apply when I subohm at extreme wattage? (Like 0.2ohms at 100W or something)..which I likely won't do.
(Planning to use those for a EVIC Mini VTC so I was considering whether I should replace one of my ordered LG HG2 with a VTC5)

Cheers

HG2's have a higher capacity so will last longer, but either are good batteries.

For your watt range the LG fits the bill

Our resident battery expert Battery Mooch has bench tested both batteries.

LG INR18650-HG2 20A 3000mAh Bench Retest Results...a great 20A battery!

Sony VTC5 2500mAh 18650 Retest Results...a great 20A 2600mAh battery
​

Both the Sony VTC5 and HG 2 have identical amp ratings (20A), but the HG2 (3000mAh) has more capacity than the Sony VTC5 (2600mAh). Bottom line, both will work great for your application; the LG's may last longer per charge than the Sony.

I have the HG2s coming now, even if their capacity wouldn't even matter to me. (99% when I am vaping I do over USB anyway). But according to reviews it's a very good battery so I got those.

HG2s due to the higher mah capacity.
