    Samsung SDI 35E - 3 diff batches, is it safe to say that they are all a 35E?

    IMO cell #3 isn’t a 35E but I can!t say for sure about the other two without testing.

    Choice of the Battery [18650]

    The Panasonic would only be a good choice if under 10W. Buy the Molicel, it’s a fantastic battery for up to about 90W.

    fake samgung 30Q?

    If you’d like, send me one of the fakes and I’ll examine and test it and document the results. I can then contact Pacific Smoke to make sure they’re doing the right thing. They’ll need to examine all of the different brands/models of cells they carry. IMO if they are getting fake 30Q’s from...

    Bench Test Results: Vapcell Q30 - 20A 3000mAh 18650

    But what if the one you’re looking for is one of those out of stock ones? And availability comes and goes and some vendors don’t even carry certain brands. We also don’t know if the manufacture dates are relatively recent for those cells in stock or even what grade they are. But if good cells...

    Of the P50B? Not yet. I hope to receive a couple of recently manufactured P50B later this month or early next month but we’ll see what happens.

    fake samgung 30Q?

    Okay, time to carefully unwrap and see if they are actually 30Q’s or not. Use a magnifier and check every little detail. If the top insulating ring is self adhesive in the new cells then they are fakes…period.

    Bench Test Results: Vapcell U30 - 30A 3000mAh 18650

    Sorry, I don’t know anything about the accuracy of that tester (or similar ones). You can test capacity with it but it’s easy to use fakes with the same capacity. Testing at higher current levels, 15A or 20A for the 30Q, is needed.

    It could mean they are fake but doesn’t guarantee it. Accusing a vendor of selling fakes is a huge deal, you have to be sure. If you want, send me the cells and I’ll authenticate them. I won’t be able to return them though. If fake you can contact the vendor with the info I send you.
