I doubt that is a continuous draw rating. The HB6 at 32 amp is the highest 18650 you can get I think.
Even if an 18650 cell could reach 35 amp it wouldn't hold 3000mah

You are right. Thats what matters here.
Those high cyphers that manufacturer claim is just peak. Battery cant sustain that discharge rate in safe conditions (usually temperature goes just to high at explsion risk levels)

Suppose it's the best way if they want to confuse people [emoji6]
Continuous draw is the figure to look for though is it not ? Ignoring pulse rating.

It is but Xtar confuse the issue by using PDR. All their cells are Molicell rewraps so I'd only use the CDR on Fogstar & Mooch as the true rating for vaping.

I will more than likely get the Samsung 20s which is 30 amp, I have a couple of 18650 batteries coming with my new Geekvape mod but they will be 20 amp more than likely.

If the 20S don't reappear (remember worldwide distribution is up the wall at the mo) use either the VTC5A or P26A, both rated 25A & I've use them in all my mechs. The Feedlink is semi protected so shouldn't draw excess Amps as it's limited to 80w.

@nwhornet Thanks I will try them out if I can't get the 20s, Not a big fan of worldwide shipping and only use it as a last resort, I am way too impatient to wait the length of time it takes for delivery lol.

Fogstar recommend the Samsung 20S and that's 30 Amp but they sold out at the minute. Hoping they will have some in by Friday for the offers they have.

Apes don't have to wait untill friday.

POTV20 Gives 20% off anytime at fogstar.

ilovepotv Gives 10% off at 18650.co.uk

For batteries only use Fogstar or 18650.co.uk. Trusted vendors & batteries definitely not a product to scrimp on. As @Frogprince says discounts available for both so always good prices.

How do you find the size of the Molicell. I've a 18650 mech with very little wiggle room. Even a 39Q is a tight fit?

Rewrap

So you put down the extra size purely, to the wrap?

 

[nwhornet]

Only have a couple of mods that have issues with Molicell & rewrapping solved it. Molicell batteries differ in diameter from pos end to neg end & wraps are thick. No issues with tube mechs but mods with a battery tube can be tight.
