What's the top 18650 for 20'ish watt vaping?

I have a LG INR18650 HG2 20A 3000MAH which used to last a lot longer. It's been great but it seems tired.

Nothing wrong with those LG cells, but no cell lasts forever, so time for some new ones Jack. Or Sammy 30Q ones, but i know you hate Sammy with a weird passion.

You could try the F.A Tutti Fruitti concentrate at say 4% with a couple of
drops of dragon fruit per 10ml to help it pop.

Samsung(old but still very good) 25R, 30Q, then LG 20a 2500 or 3000mah and sony vtc5 and vtc6 will be good enough for most uses.(unless crazy sub ohm vaping 100+w and over 30a).

Just make sure a reputable seller, as there are many fake Sony, LG etc etc cells out there.

Issues as well are grades, for example use the newer vtc6 cell by sony. Only ones available at the start were grade B , this can mean a number of things. From not knowing age, storage conditions(like temperature) etc etc. Then grade A might be available to a seller, this will prove age(within 3 months) and storage temps etc etc. I do know from my supplier(maybe yours too) that there are not many good LG cells right now , many have an unknown history of which he will not buy................others may buy and sell on! Not saying they would explode, just a possibility their performance may not be what it should. Higher internal resistance to name one issue.......

Samsung are pushing the boundaries and all help towards what we have in our homes today. They messed up with the phone battery issue by trying to make the cell smaller, but still more powerful for cell life...............they pushed too far without thorough testing. But if companies(manufacturers ) did not push the boundaries, we would be walking around like

For anyone interested VampireVape are doing a mix n match for the popular Alien kit, but using the big (5ml) baby tank instead This is pretty cool as you can get mods n tanks in colours that are hard to find and all for one price, £70! The blue and red ones everywhere i've looked demand a slightly higher price. I've gone for a red mod, with rainbow tank

I agree,I've got a 200w mod and rarely go above 60w but the fact it has 2 cells means it last longer without charging,the 4 cell one would last for ages.
I've found the higher the wattage the better the flavor,but 350w is mental!

For me its vape time, less time swapping out cells. Most i have ever used is around 120w iirc and its way toooo much. Most my vape is 16-30w as over 30w it is too harsh for me(thats 75% VG as well).

The alien(which i am happy with) lasts most of the day(when working as only get around 30-40m vape time in the 8hrs). Weekend i get away with one swap of the cells in a day.

Will see where the prices go, seen a few and once its closer to £50 i may bite.

The Smok skyhook rtda looks very nice too. You have to swap out the base for coils or rebuildable decks, which is a bit of a faff, but the design allows for 8-10ml capacity.

I'm after a tank and atomiser setup that will give me intense flavour, i tried someone's at work and he's blew mine away for flavour. I didn't get time to ask him what he was using as he had to rush off, all i know is it was a dripper setup where he said he changes the cotton once a week but the atomiser itself lasts 4 - 6 months.

I appreciate that quality fluid has a lot to do with it as well, my current tank is a Uwell crown tank which is very good but it was nowhere near the flavour level of this other lads setup i tried, it could possibly be my fluid is rubbish.

Fluid is key Rob, you want 50/50 VG/PG as a minimum for sub ohm vaping. I tend to go 70 even up to 80% VG for smoothness. Lately i have been using a 75% VG and 25% PG . Flavour concentrate, many good brands out there, of late vampire vape has seen me right. To buy, best way is to go into a decent vape shop and test manufacturers flavours out.

Drippers will give more flavour over tanks, just inconvenient for me so i dont use mine much. I have the crown and use the RBA (single), been great and i keep returning to it.

What juice are you using? brand/ and VG content etc?

PG does help the flavour, but if using low ohm coils and high W, then chances are they will be using an 80% VG mix. Meaning all VG including the nicotine concentrate. Only PG(the 20% part) would be the flavour used if makes sense. Without the high level of VG it would be too harsh...........

Brands to try, scripture and grim reaper to name just 2.
The kick the bucket flavour is very nice, trouble is vanilla gunks the coils up fast

Any of the Smok TFV8 tanks will blow the uwell crown outa the park for flavour mate. That's why i'm switching from the Crown to the big baby beast tank. But i get great flavour from the Crown as is, could be your juice i guess.
