IPV 35w and 50w box mods

[yo_diego]

I don't want to go off topic, but any suggestions on were to buy vtc5 ?

The trusty places I know are out of stock. Ebay is my way to go, but not this time, at least if anyone here knows a good ebay seller carrying the real ones.

RTD Vapor has a good reputation for only selling legit products, I have some AW IMR 1600s from there that i believe are authentic, they've worked great.
Manufacturers need to figure out a way to authenticate batteries, maybe those scratch off codes that alot of clearomizers have that you can out into a website.
Just saw you said in stock, I have no clue, no where seems to have them right now.

Just get the eFest 35A. No, it's not as good as a VTC5, but if you want to use it in an IPV2 or a regulated mod, it will be more than good enough and it's much, much easier to find authentic eFests than Sonys at the moment. The VTC5 is a great battery, but it's really overhyped and unnecessary unless you plan on running super low sub-ohm builds on a mech mod.

\couple quick questions on the ipv2. When i press down the power button, after my initial click when holding it down it makes a small click (electrical sounding) then followed by very light clicking sounds... i want to make sure that's normal... if not how do i use the warranty?

Other excellent batteries..

Samsung 25R

Neither of mine do that, someone earlier in the thread has the same issue. My silver one will make that electrical click once if i fire with no atty attached, but that's it.

Wanted to chime in on the battery sag issue.

I have an ipv2 w a nautilus mini on it at 1.9ohm. Im firing low at like 9watts. I have sony vtc5s that I recived about 5 days ago brand new. My battery doesnt drop when its full, only I get passed 3/4 battery and I fire im getting a drop of almost half of whats left on my battery, then it goes back after firing.
Is this normal w vtc 5s? I bought them yto avoid that kind of sag.

TiA,

TiA,

Ya mine does that also, I don't think its a big issue. Sometimes when its almost dead I can notice it, but I don't notice any difference in performance when the battery sags like that. I don't think its a big deal, even when it sags I can blow clouds if i want to with a dual .9 26 gauge at 30 watts and above. Generally I stay at 24, but I have tried it at 45 and it sags, and it still performs great.

I agree it still performs fine. I just keep hearing "buy vtc5s" "they are the best" " no sag w vtc5s" , yet I buy 2 of them to use and im sagging at 7 watts or 9 watts if the battery is at 3/4 full.. so im jus confused I guess. I get half sag of whatever capacity my battery is at on those low settings... I tried going up to 30 just to see and I get massive sag.

Ya I think its unavoidable. I actually thought it sagged less with my AW IMR 1600s. I'll buy some batteries and experiment.

Everyone say a high performance battery 1600 mah or above you want tested, I'll buy them from a reputable source if they are in stock, and make videos of battery sag on each of them.

 

[MrWire]

I definitely bought mine from a reputable dealer in washington. They have a bunch of stores. Did the fake checks and tested voltage. Mine are definitely authentic. I tbought they mightve been fake given the sag but thats not the case...

I will buy some others and test too.
Thankds for confrrming my troubles.

Thanks for replying . It has a warranty so i guess if it goes out ill go from there... Thanks

No problem, I have no idea how far back it is, or if it was on this thread or the other, but if you can find it someone put up a chart explaining why it made that noise.

No takers on the battery experiment so far?

That's the C rating I was talking about earlier, so for your 3400 the c rating was 2, then you break the 3400 mah into amps which is 3.4and multiply it by C rating, so 3.4 * 2 (the c rating on your other battery) and thats where i got your batteries continuous amp reading of 6.8
So for a VTC5 it would be 2.6 * 15= 39 amps, if it actually does have a C rating of 15
OK so we have
1. VTC5

Try both the LG HE2 and Samsung 25R. There's been a ton of threads on both batteries, especially the samsung 25R on a few vape and flashlight forums. The samsung in particular has been performing very well in terms of voltage sag and holding the mid range voltage. Just a thought.

Lol do not use the Efest 20A 3100mAh.

There's a massive thread on ECF with links to test results. The ratings are ridiculously overstated. Apparently that particular battery goes berserk once you pull more than 6.5 or 7 amps.

On the other hand, the purple Efest 35A is also only a 20A continuous and 35A pulse rating. Yup
