Difference between 18650 30q and other 18650's?

[jfeller2112]

Hi guys. I am pretty new to vaping, I got a Fuchai Glo with a manta rta. The batteries I got with it were Samsung 18650 30q (I know this because I was told). I am looking at buying another pair of batteries to keep in rotation, but I was just wondering what the difference is between them ? I know the 18650 is the measurements, but I don't know what for example a Samsung 18650 25R means. Any help?
Thank you

It is basically a model number and has different meanings (if any) on different brands. Don't place to much meaning on it.

Oh, yes, welcome to the forum. Coincidentally just dealt with a similar query and circumstance, please have a look here as well:

"30Q" - Also Samsung Model.
“VTC5” – Model of battery made by Sony.
"HG2" - Model of Battery made by LG.
"HE2" - Same as above but different specs.

Alright so if i had to use a 25R and then a 30Q, there wouldn't actually be any difference?

Not quite.

The 25R is a 2500mah 20A battery (Green Wrap)
The 30Q is a 3000mah 15A battery (Pink Wrap)

The mah meaning milliamp hours (How long it will last)
The A is the continues discharge rating (How much power you can draw from the unit)

There is unfortunately not a one size fits all solution. Either you can have a long-lasting meaning as in hours before charging again or you can have one that can draw more power at one stage.

I'm no specialist so I suggest having a look at mooch's youtube channel on batteries getting yourself some knowledge on the subject.

I hope my explanation helps.

I find the battery life of a 25R is lower than a 30Q. I have 2 x 30Q for the Cylon. Seems it lasts me for most of the day but the 25R is for a single battery mod and half life is reduced to half of its capacity in about 30 mins.

Getting a 30Q for my pico - then I can compare between the two single battery mods.

Okay yes. I think I will buy another pair of 30q's. Thank you!

Yeah I definitely would stick to the 30Q batteries. Funnily enough they were my first batteries and very happy with them.

On my Smok Procolor on more or less 50 watts I can go through a whole day on the 30Q except when chain vaping obviously. The 2 batteries last about from 7 to 8 at night depending on how much I have vaped.

I must add I work as a technician on the road so driving around a lot and clouding the streets hehe. I am quite a heavy vaper. The duration has varied though.

Also not a bad idea to get one of these in your arsenal.

The 30Q contains a whole 500 mAh more than the 25R so what you are experiencing is correct @Rainstorm. I am also running 30Q's for the most part. A good all round performer even in the mechanical mods. The latter I seldom go over 10Amp CDR so I am plenty safe.

I have the Nitecore Q2 and it's great if you only have 2 batteries to charge at once.

Hahahahahaha I chain vape most of the day - that's how long my 30Q's last... I only charge them once a day at the most. Rarely twice a day.
