In testing by mooch and torchy the 30Q's seem to perform as well as the 25'rs and the same ampage can be pulled. But the 30Q'S have the extra mah.
That's my understanding of it but somebody clever might be able to correct me

Not sure that is correct. Samsung rate the 30Q's at 15A and the 25R's at 20A. I haven't seen any tests, but I imagine Samsung's testing would be the better though, as they make them.

I get your point and yes it sounds sensible tbh, but if you do some digging then that's what I found anyway

Interesting report jtc.

I think they're probably fine with a regulated mod, but I'd be wary of using them in a mech under 0.5ohms.

Maybe I'm over-cautious

I'm battery hunting myself atm and don't know much (nothing actually) about batteries.

Are these any good?

Not at all tim
I agree caution should be upmost with batteries and especially with a mech.
I don't use mechs but I've been using 30Q's in my rolos for months now without a problem. Although I never max them out.
Right now I'm at 75w on .43 coils in my herakles rta and that's good enough for me.
With 3 30Q's I get plenty of vape time.
After saying that I've just started using 3 vtc5's in one and tbh I'm not really noticing a difference in the time they are lasting

Didn't mean to hijack this thread, won't happen again.

But with all those opinions and so called reviews out there I was wondering if anybody actually uses AWT. They are overrated, no they aren't, they get hot, no they aren't, they are repacked LGs, no they aren't etc. Anyway, I did a bit more research and still know nothing but I'm OK with it.

Mooch on ECF and torchy do proper battery tests and can be trusted.  Their battery advice is probably the best there is.
