New LG HE2?

Probably great cells for a 50W regulated box mod.

I have two married pairs of HE4's that I'm using in my Vapor Flask DNA40.

My only other mods are two iStick 20w (self contained batteries), as I've only been vaping for 3 months.

Would there be any downside to using the HG2's in the VF?

I seriously doubt it. I'd use them.

I also did a shootout between the HG2 and Samsung 30Q, both of which tested out a bit better than the 25R, though they do run hotter. This can affect cycle life.

The battery tests.. Don't look great. Especially when compared to the 25R or HE2.

I say skip it. Get an HE4 or an HE2 (or a 25R). It's tried and true (and cheap on Illumn).

I'd be wary of directly comparing the HG2 to those other two cells with those tests as they are completely different. The HG2 is using a 10s on time vs 4s on time for the other cells. That puts a lot more stress on the HG2 since it's being fired at a 50% duty cycle and the other two cells are only being run at a 7% duty cycle. This gives the other two cells a lot more time to recover between discharges.

In my testing (constant-current as of now) the HG2 beats out the 25R by a bit except, as @m00shie mentioned, it runs hotter than 25R. Cycle life could be shorter. On/off testing will be done.

If you can find vtc 5's I'd just pick them

Hey guys, is there any difference between the LG HE2 & HE4?

Yes, the HE4 is a better battery in my opinion. It runs at a higher voltage and lasts longer before needing to be recharged than the HE2

Did you see Grimmgreens vlog yesterday? You got a serious shoutout.

I did! Very awesome.
Hope to be testing some cells he has.

Absolutely. I use the LG's in my iStick 100w box mod. The best battery life so far for me. Vaping at 55 watts on a .26 dual. I use 30 amp batts in all my mechs.
