Do You Think These Are Real Vtc 4's?

According to this link that Nick Green posted to Facebook, Sony is apparently stating officially that they are no longer making VTC4 and VTC5 batteries...

Sony's official response to the availability of VTC4 and VTC5
18650s  

Me again with battery questions

I ordered and paid for Samsung 25Rs from my local vape shop. They just informed me that they made a mistake and that battery is not currently available, and have offered me these as replacement:

Sony VTC5

Sony VTC4

LG HE2

LG HE4

Should i take any of these or should i wait for the samsungs to become available again? (who knows when that will be)

I'm leaning towards the VTC5 just looking for some confirmation from you guys that that is the right choice !

Oh and i should mention, the top wattage i will be hitting is 30w and i do not sub ohm.
Thanks!  

Hello All,

Does anyone know which 18650 battery would last the longest when vaping at 13 watts? I have listed some below but any not listed recommendations are welcome as well.
(PS please don't respond with battery safety information or suggestions for me to look at mooch ratings)
Also, does anyone know if the vendors in the last 3 below links are reliable?

Thanks!

Sanyo NCR18650GA 3500mAh 10A

AW Protected 18650 3400 mAh

Samsung 35E 18650 3500mAh 8A Battery - INR18650-35E

Sony VC7 18650 Unprotected Li-ion Battery

18650 Battery 3500mAh Protected Li-ion 3.7V Rechargeable Orbtronic 10A Dual Protection (Panasonic-Sanyo inside) ORB3500P For High Performance Flashlights  

So, I know that the Sony VTC batteries were the like "Go-to" battery. But they are being faked a lot and are hard to come by some authentic ones.

So whats the next best option?

I have a few different batteries and I definitely can tell the difference in the quality of the hit, and the life of the battery.

I have a red IMR 2000 mAh 18650 and it hits the worst out of all of my batteries.

Then I have a blue samsung battery (Can't really read the writing) but I can see it says 25r on it. This one hits decent.

Then I have a green 2600 mAh battery. Its a beast. Hits like a champ and lasts long. I would like to find a similar battery to this one. Im guessing this is the Sony VTC 5.

I really want to find something that is just as good as the Green one.

Does anyone know where to find these or a similar battery that is 2600mAh 30 amp? If so, are there any deals going on online where I could get a good price? Id like to order some new batteries.

Thanks for the help all!


Edit. One more question. Anyone know the difference between the Amps on each of the batteries? Just from guessing id say the red is 20 amps, blue is 25, and the green is 30? Does that sound right?  

So last night I guess I was more tired than I anticipated and forgot to unplug my charger before knocking out. I was charging a 18350 battery. As soon as I woke up I remembered and immediately unplugged the charger. I left the battery sitting all day and just checked it on my multimeter and it reads 4.18 volts. I also checked it on my sigelei and it read 4.2 volts. I am th overly cautious type though so I just wanted to ask you guys if you think the battery is still safe or if I should properly dispose of it.  

Good evening ladies and gents! It's been awhile since I've been to this site. First off, I've been cigarette free for two years, eight months.

I first started with a pair of Ego Twists. They are still working with a lot of use! I decided to go with something that uses a 18650 battery and chose a E-Vic. That turned out to be a piece of junk. After that, I purchased a Z-Max which while being a good device, but hit the button wrong, and it will change settings. I thought it straight-lined (it didn't). I guess i hit the button wrong (again).

I ordered a Sigelei 50w V2, and have been using it for three days. I really like that it didn't cost an arm and a leg, $60 from BeVapeHappy. Yes, I could have spent $150, or more, but I have bills and such to pay.

The Sigelei is very simple to operate, and using 1.8Ω cartomizer and a IBTanked at 10w, it's amazing!  

Curious if any of you have gone to the Kanger Aerotank from the Nautilus Aspire tank? I have two Nautilus tanks and I have to say it is real hit and miss when I change the coils out. Sometimes I will have a clean hit and no burnt taste and other times it is burnt tasting for the life of the coil. A local vape shop told me to switch to the Kanger Aerotank. They did not have it in stock so I ordered it to try. Yes I am doing the whole prep scenario with the drops and hitting it 4 to 5 times before hitting the button. He told me it is common with the Nautilus, but not with the Kanger Aerotank. Any feedback?  

I bought my Sigelei 100w Plus a few days back and ordered 2 Sony VTC4's on my same order (I'm confident they're legitimate, I've bought some before) to be able to marry them together and use them with my Sigelei. Upon receiving the batteries, I labelled one A, and one B and put them into my charger at the same time (charger was off, put both in and turned it on), one battery is slightly more charged than the other (it's 2/3 bars, while the other is still 1/3). I'm a bit worried about using married batteries, I understand rotating A and B in my Sigelei and charger but will they be the same charge when they're done? They're new batteries and they both went on at the same time yet one of them is charging a little bit faster.

When both of the batteries are fully charged, will they be safe to use and cycle accordingly? I heard about if one battery has even a tiny bit less, the batteries will take an uneven load and it will make it risky. How do I ensure that these batteries remain married?  

Hi everyone,
Hope your all having a great weekend! Hopefully someone can help me figure out any good canadian or American reputable vendors for 18650 batteries for my arrow sense mod. Out of all the vendors listed in the battery thread, only one had the batteries I wanted, but it was in the US and would cost over $50 for shipping. Hoping to find shipping for $20-30 canadian instead. I am particularly interested in the batteries on the forums listed as tested by mooch in a stickier post. Or Sony battery with 2500 mah , I like to vape with two 18650 batteries at 60-80 watts.  

So I dug out 3 of my old Provari 2.5s with the extension caps ,I ordered 6 18650 button top batteries from 18650 batteries web site I have about 6 Berserkers a coupe of Geekvape Ammits and 3 2019 Kayfun minis tons of 28 gauge wire been building 1.5 ohm coils and wow it feels like 5 years ago lol , Anyway I just hope this whole thing with the FDA Pmtas just goes away if not I really hope a couple of my juice suppliers makes it thru I vape Heathers H vapes Dark Horse ,Black Note , Real tobacco Extracts ,Naturally Extracted Tobacco and rocket fuels reaper blend most all on a daily basis ,I do want to say this whole thing that's going on in this country is almost to the point of prejudice against people who vape I smoked for almost 35 years and finally quit in 2013 when I started with a Halo Triton and a Lavatube , I know I should be making my own juice just don't have the time ,and maybe buying a mech mod or 2 But I have about 10 VW/VV mods plus my 3 Provaris which are built like a tank ( I miss provape), well good luck to all
