Simple.

They were wrong.



The Efest battery is a 20A continuous drain battery with a 35A pulse rating. VTC4s are 30A continuous drain with a 60A pulse rating.

Thank you I'm just trying to figure this out so with that being said then could you explain to me the vape production and firing difference between the two batteries? Thank you

Its the build and airflow, guaranteed. The batteries have nothing to do with it.

OP, although battery basics are good to know, batteries are not the cause of your problem and are taking this thread off-topic. Your Efest are not rewrapped VTCs, they are rewrapped 20A AW batteries. But that really makes no difference for what you are trying to accomplish.
Rewrapped LG he2 if old enough. Not yet any confirmation on what the battery under the newer "35/38 amp" efest is.

Although batteries are important, that is the least important part about your issue. The reason it took over this topic is simply because you are obviously new to all of this and started a "cloud chasing" thread.

Here are the issues: 1. That TOBH clone has really small airholes. It wouldn't be hard to drill them a mm larger and would make a huge difference. 2. You should make for more area for airflow under the coils... you don't need wick in-between the posts like that either. 3. Try some thicker, lower-gauge wire. I generally use 24 gauge kanthal or nichrome... sometimes I build with 22 gauge. This wire is designed to handle more power.

thank you for the tips i planned on drilling out my tobh clone by adding 2 more holes and see how it works if it still was getting same results then maybe a 3rd and ill order up some 22gauge and see how it works thanks for the info. Unfortunately me local vapor shop sucks and overcharges people they wanted me to pay 250 for this Sigelei and i hit my buddy up and picked it up for 95.

Putting in different batteries isnt going to change a thing.

EDIT: what watts are you running that coil at? A coil that small and with 28g isnt going to need that much power to heat up. Im guessing you are vaping at way to high of watts.

Also with all that power and all that room on that deck why not build some high ohm coils. Sub ohming is over rated when you have all that power.

im running 50 watts and im using 26G wire and i really honestly didn't think about high ohms because i got a VW it was kinda like i flew right pass that one. i've heard people having great results with bigger wire and higher ohm on VW setups the coil is at 0.5Ohms

Have you tried lowering your wattage? Your cotton is probably to tight so its vaporizing faster then it can get to the coil. Try going down to 40watts or rewicking your build
