If they're selling VTC5's that are not legit, I'd be weary of their VTC4's as well. I haven't seen any legit VTC5's at all really, the only ones I've seen were fake. So I don't know if I would trust any sony battery they're selling..

I would bet approximately all the money that the Sony VTC5 is not authentic or is old stock. The LG batteries will serve you well, same with the Samsungs. I'll go ahead and second everyone and say only buy batteries from reputable places. The chances of any vape shop knowing their batteries and the sources of said batteries as well as ilumn or RTD vapor is close to zero.
Yeah, I would take the LGs as I would worry those Sonys are fake.
I bought fake vtc5s from one of our forum suppliers 10 months ago here. He guaranteed me they were genuine, too

For those recommending online suppliers, let's not forget the OP is in Croatia.
I got a response.
They said the order of those batteries was made 6 months ago. Their supplier assures them that they are authentic. They tested them and they showed capacity between 2480 – 2496 mAh and 4.19V max charged. Also that they personally use them on 60w devices and they last the entire day.
I mean i don't know, i'm pretty sure they aren't trying to flog me a fake on purpose and looks like they aren't ignorant. Might be worth taking?
Or stick with the LG regardless of this response?

That one statement is impossible to guarantee. Battery usable life is dictated by Load.
If you are a heavy Vapor and use sub-ohm loads there is little chance of a single battery lasting ALL day.
I average 4-5 18650 2500Mah Batteries per 18hr. day - Currently off work due to an injury.
If I am working, using my Evic and 2.8ohm tank, yes I can go about a day on an 18650.
My take. Myself and my wife enjoy my face. For 10 bucks, I would walk and get one from Orbtronics or RTD vapor.
Is that a guarantee, nope. I woudln't trust them even if was my brother running the store.

You seem pretty determined to buy from them.
To me that statement smells of bovine excrement. To me a genuine answer would be, yes they are genuine. I don't know about Sony, but I have seen authenticity certification on one vender's site for E-Fest batteries. All the stuff about using them personally, and the exaggerated claims about performance seem to fall into the class of too much information being offered, which in my opinion is often indicative of a lie.
Anyway, I'm almost certainly reading too much into this. Buy them, don't buy them, it's up to you and your medical insurance.
It's not that I'm determined to buy from them, it's that i got either them or a month of shipping from wherever doesn't charge shipping more than batteries.
Thanks once again for all your help.
Rijeka is all grown up, and should have batteries for crying out loud. It's not like Croatia doesn't know anything about high tech stuff. Hell ... Skype comes from there.
Plus there's San Marino to the west and Sarajevo to the east, so you shouldn't have to ship by a slow boat.
