Interestingly, Sony the manufacturer has never officially marketed the Sony VTC battery specs. In fact they have never been intended for the open market, period. They were designed specifically to be used in power packs for cordless power tools. The fact that they have been intermittantly available on the open market has been due to a small percentage of them becoming available from trusted (and untrusted) suppliers.
The Sony VTC4 has been independently bench tested to be a true 30 amp CDR battery. The Sony VTC5 has been independently bench tested to be only a 20 amp CDR battery.
The one at funan is good... i get my stuff there quite a bit... well not to vape but for other things...
Whoops. Sorry for posting wrong info on here about batteries.
I could of swore the only 30 amp batteries were the VTC4 and VTC5s.
Illumination Supply does state the VTC5s do get hot from draining it to empty from being fully charged. Also RTD Vapor has 30 amp in the title. But in the specifications on both sites listed the VTC5 a 20a continuous discharge rating.

So..... I shouldn't go for Samsung 25Rs? I was already thinking of getting LG HG2 (The chocolate one). Do you think that is good enough?
The chocolate bar is very good IMO. Using it for ipv mini 2 n ipv 3 Li. Excellent performance.

it really depends how much current you'd need to draw, both the 25R and HG2 are similar if you check mooch's review and especially battery safety. I would say for the pricepoint locally 25R still takes the cake, extra $$ for the extra capacity on HG2 more or less dependent on consumption pattern.
Well, other than FStopLights (Cause everything I want is sold out), any other places I can buy from?
Speaking of FSL, I saw that they just restocked Sony VTC 5s on the 21st of August (Before it sold out again). Am I losing my mind? Hahahahaha.

i have one of their VTC 5, although I can't vouch for the credibility of the battery itself. Real life testing do yield slightly longer battery life as compared. Typically tactical shops do sell those 18650s as well and getting them from overseas site will be a tall task to deal with due to battery transportation rules and such.
A pair of HG2's, VTC5's or 25R's would be OK up to about 130W or so.
Up to about 175W the VTC4's would be OK, but better to use the HB6's.
Above 175W, get the HB6's.
Definitely go for the samsung 25r or sony vtc4. I would get the purple efest but the 35A it stats right there is not true.
FYI i just ordered 4 pcs of vtc5 from FSL.
they restocked, anyway im using it for my IPv4S is it okay? Should i get a higher amp batt?

Sony Vtc4 is definitely a trusted batteries. Got my first pair up north and second pair from locally. However i noticed a colour difference in the green. Any opinions?
Left north right local

Just helped myself to a pair of VTC5s locally as well. Read through the interwebs quite abit regarding the batteries before purchase. It is apparently a 30 A/60 A current similar to the VTC4, although with a difference in mAh. At least this was what I could gather at the shop based on available specs. I may be wrong. Anyway, using it in my IPV4S with the life-sucking TFV4 triple coil and it has been a dream. Compared to the pink Samsung's I was using previously with the TFV4 would stop firing after a certain threshold in the battery has been crossed. (Usually 70-75% of indicated charge) not sure why, perhaps it's the 0.2 ohm resistance playing a part!
The VTC5 is a 20A battery....but a darn good one!

I'll be doing a retest of the VTC5 within a couple of weeks to get some pulsed discharge data.
The evidence is unclear as to what was or is actually going on but the VTC's I have tested over the past 3-4 months have all tested out exactly to Sony's specs. If somehow they are all rewraps then they are the first rewraps that duplicate the original batteries.
