Sony VTC5 vs Samsung 25R

Hi everyone!

I've been researching batteries to use with my TC mod + Triton tank and have been looking at the VTC5 and 25R offerings.

Mooch's data has been extremely useful to me, but I also examined HKJ's over at candlelight forum.

18650 Safety Grades -- Picking a Safe Battery to Vape With | E-Cigarette Forum

Test of Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh (Green)

Test of Sony US18650VTC5 2600mAh (Green)

It would appear the VTC5 has slightly better capacities, at the cost of the 25R having lower temps. Is this an accurate conclucsion? Safety, and cooler temps are considerably more important to me than a marginal capacity increase. In addition, the 25R's are much cheaper, so I'm leaning towards them.

I was just wondering what the current consensus is on these (both great) batteries.

Thanks!

25Rs for the win, in my humble opinion.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks for your input =)

I've actually realized that I prefer vaping around 20w, so maybe the Samsung 30Q would be my best bet.

If you're below 60W or so then the Samsung 30Q or LG HG2 are your best choices in my opinion. Enjoy the longer vaping time before needing to recharge.
