But I've seen battery snobs come in, ask if we carry Sony's or Orbtronics or whathaveyou, and we say no, we have purple Efests, and they scoff and leave.

I dont know....with Illumn selling Samsung 25r's for $6 a pop (or at least they were) I really don't care what anyone else is doing. Great battery.
Dude! Awesom,e very cool of you to pop in, thanks for that.
No ones doubting The results really, many of us just dont care for the marketing and rating claims shenanigans these "vaping" batteries are doing. And its troubeling that some vapors "may" take these claims to their maximum, any more there are way too many vapors happy running on the pulse rating all day long, and to think someone may actually try to get to that 60 amp rating is scary ( to me anyways)
As even you, the person doing the test can tell, theres nothing superior about the cell yet they make a bunch of bs claims then charge way too much.
For most of us thats the real issue.
If I buy a box of fruit loops at the premium price, there better not be a bag of store branded generic inside when I open the box

Nice..Did you know Sony only put out their data sheet testing vct4's at 20A?!?

..I could be wrong but it sure looked that way to me..I still use the vct4's though. They hold up well.
Thanks for that..I concur about your assesment on the vct4's..I swear by those cells from experience.

Not sure what your referring to.????

It was the link for the Poladiac MMV..ugh I need more coffee..lol
I switch off between the vtc4 and the efest 30A and haven't seen any noticeable difference in battery life or power. I find it interesting but most of this battery talk is way over my head so I can't really speak intelligently to the topic.
TY TY TY...I'm almost awake enough to bookmark that now!
ETA
Well I'll be ...dam sure beats most people prices as well..I'm in..I'm definitely in!
Had I been awake fully..that link was the test link in the OP as well....Geebus Rick..pay attention dam...lol
It is brotha..Sorry man..I swear I won't come on again until I've had my full quota of cuppas..lol

I can say I've done my own test with both the Efest purple and Sony's vct4 on my Reo with a .50Ω coil with both @ .004v drop..The Sony's lasted longer..Idk why?!? They don't take as long to charge as well..I'm not a cell tech guy..I was just curious.
Columbian? Cream--no sugar please
If I ever get down that way again I'll have to look you up. I don't leave the Poconos much these days however...it's just too nice up here in the woods.

That the voltage drop on the mod with atty attached and coiled..I used a Fluke 116 for the test..Pretty accurate..and yes, it was the Efest 2500mah cell.
The mod was a Reo lpg with upgraded sub ohm gold plated firing pin btw..Pretty nice BF mod for the money.
