Efest 18650 2500 mAh 35A!

[kemz562]

From all the forums I've seen, people have been saying that the efest 35 amp is a rewrap of a LG He2 35 amp. If that were true the button tops will be the same and the color will as well. The LG He2 is white as the Efest is black. I do believe that Efest rewrap their batteries, but I think the battery that they did rewrap was the MXJO 18650 2500 mah 35A high drain. This battery has the same characteristics of the real rewrapped efest 35 amp. Note: people are selling the fake ones which might be the LG version.

Spread the news because I do believe that the efest are 35 amp continuous! Look up the pictures and tell me what you think. Their good batteries get them while you can.

If you have some, remove the wrapping and check if it has any type indication on it. You can always put a new shrink wrap on it. Keep in mind the coloring at the top is often just a sealer ring so if you base your opinion on just the bit of black there, it might proof wrong.

I personally rather buy none rewrapped batteries with clear type indicators from the manufacturers and from reliable sources.

Some have removed the wrapping and there's an LG he2 beneath. Tests also show the purple Efests as being nearly identical to the LGs in their discharge curve. It's pretty much established that the Efests are rewrapped LGs. The information I've seen on the MXJO show them to also be 20 amp continuous, leading me to believe that they as well are rewrapped LGs.

Thats for the heads up! I might check out one of my batteries an see if its actually an LG he2. I've seen some videos of people removing the wrapping and there was no sign of LG he2, just some product numbers. There might be some companies faking the efest batteries. Even so, the batteries perform well at .25 ohms and hits hard when fully charge! Make sure not to go any lower, vape safe!

Was this performed with different efest 35 amps from different vendors or one?

With all the controversy - and the historical "meh" performance and life span of eFests - why buy them anyway?

I have had no issues with the 4 - 18650 efest 2100 mAH batteries purchased from RTD Vapor.

The said are in the same rotation as my Sony VTC4 and 5s; purchased from the same vendor.

Easy solution: vape at ~10 amps and it doesn't matter if it's a 20 amp or 35 amp battery.
42 watts should be enough to keep most happy (.42 ohms @ 4.2v = 42 watts @ 10 amps)

All that's required is being a little smarter than the battery you are using.
