It&#8217;s continuous 30A rating is ridiculous as it gets hot enough to boil water when discharged at that level. It is just a 20A cell that performs worse than the iJoy 21700 at moderate to higher power levels.<\/p>\n<p>This Basen uses a new cell that has come to market recently. I don\u2019t know who makes it but it\u2019s being rewrapped by at least three different companies so far. I will be posting the results of their testing soon.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s capacity falls a bit short of 4000mAh in my testing. Since I\u2019m sure I don\u2019t have the worst performing two examples of this cell out there I have to assume that others will test even a bit lower.<\/p>\n<p>I am rating this cell at 20A and 3900mAh. I recommend staying below about 40W though to prevent excessive voltage sag and reduced vaping time.<\/p>\n<p>This cell has a plastic top insulating ring so juice spills will not damage the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Two cells were purchased by me for the purposes of testing.<\/p>\n<p>Cell photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/ntCiX\">https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/ntCiX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ratings graphic: <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/pGnaI\">https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/pGnaI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Test results, discharge graph, photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/threads\/bench-test-results-basen-30a-4000mah-21700\u2026ridiculously-overrated-just-an-average-20a-battery.836909\/\">https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/threads\/bench-test-results-basen-30a-4000mah-21700\u2026ridiculously-overrated-just-an-average-20a-battery.836909\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All my test results to date: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/blog-entry\/list-of-battery-tests.7436\/\">https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/blog-entry\/list-of-battery-tests.7436\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0771-e1510301040738.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0771-e1510301040738.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"A%20BATTERY%20MOOCH%20POST%3A%20Basen%2030A%204000mAh%2021700%E2%80%A6ridiculously%20overrated%2C%20just%20an%20average%2020A%20battery\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a 21700 cell.
