Which Battery Is Best?

[Tubbyengineer]

Wow, that is even more mAh. Excuse my ignorance but is that more vaping time before I flatten the battery?

More Mah = longer battery life - but usually the higher the mah rating the lower the amp rating of a battery...

NO...
The MJ1 only has a 10 amp rating...

torchy has tested them to 20 amp contino

Cheapest batteries from Gearbest that are very good and i swear by them now is The Yellow LG HE4.
Regarding shipping time i received 4 on Monday ordered on 1st shipped 2nd April so only 10 days Belgium Registered post cost just over 10 squid, out of stock at the moment though

Yes...

Torchy's discharge profile clearly shows it is struggling above 15A. At 15A the MJ1 looks like a 25R at 35A.

Compared to an LG HG2, the increased risk is not worth 15% extra battery life.

Thanks for all the replies and advice. I think I'll stick with the Samsung 25r or 30q's, decisions decisions.
I can't believe the prices on Gearbest ( http://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_232875.html ) but as I'm an ultra cautious guy I will probably buy from Torchy.

I do have a couple of more questions;

How long do you generally get out of your batteries before you get rid of them (I'm charging my current batteries once a day in rotation)?

Will my Nitecore D2 and supplied e-cig charger be ok for the higher mAh batteries?

Once again, thanks for any advice.

cheers for info i did not see chart i use coils 0.5 ohm at 30 watt = 8 amp so im ok im surprised torchy has 20amp printed on the lg mj 1 i would not expect that to be pulse rate from him

I use HG4s and Sony VTCs purchased from @Huggett and they work fine with me. One set of the batteries lasts me a day minimum.

Torchy, or ecoluxshop on eBay or @Huggett on here. 25R's and HE4's are very similar, as are 30Q's and HG2's. Links to Mooch's tests are in my sig.

The D2 is a fine charger and I believe it comes with a mains cable.

Honestly can't see the point in risking gearbest when we have a vendor on here @Huggett who supports everybody when they have a problem and helps out the whole planet at some point. Delivers the next day in a battery box as well. Still if you want to wait 3 weeks and open up half a dozen tickets and have a nice rant on here about the dreadful service feel free. When was the last time gearbest helped you out by answering your questions ????
