Which is the better battery ?

[xs2man]

I have VTC4's, VTC5's and loads of 25r's. I have married 25r's for my VaporFlask, Hana One (Also have a single for the single 18650 mode) and Snowwolf 200w, and now a married trio for my RX200 (and another back-up trio for the DNA200 version if I get one). I use the VTC's in mech mods, and 25r's on my regulated mods generally.

They are all much of a muchness when it comes to battery life from my experience. So I am happy with the way I have separated them out.

Here is a great explanation from Pegasus Vapor Academy

You will get much more sag on those, the LG HG2 and the Efest 35 A 3000 mAh, OK batteries for < 20 A in a regulated mod, but I doubt mech users would get on with them.  It the high internal resistance, high capacity comes at a performance cost.

In a regulated mod your safe using Samsung 30q's or the LG HG2 both at 3000 mah, might get you a bit more vape time. I use 30 Q's in an Evic Mini and an iPV D2 with no issues, they are a decent battery.

I was going to go for the higher mAh batteries, but I read somewhere that a higher mAh doesnt always mean power for longer due to the mod's safety cut off & a lower mAh can sometimes provide power for slightly longer ?
Or would that only apply to mech mods ?

Thanks for all the replies & help so far peeps, learning alot more about batteries today thumb up

That is usually right, but depends on both batteries, the high mAh ones often have a fair chunk of their capacity at too low a voltage to be useful for us.  It is where the 25Rs & LG HEs really shine providing most of their capacity above 3.1 V.
Lygte didn't have the 30Q, but the I used the closest they had.  Even though the EFest below has >20% more capacity on paper it actually has >30% less that is usable for you mod under load, the 30Q & LG HG2 would be a bit better.

My Samsung 25R batteries last longer than my LG HG2s.
