Old news: XTVTC4 IMR18650 (that's what's on their homepage :)

While some shops claiming the VTC restocking not happening until next Feb, that doesn't stop people from batteries hunting, so I came across this page:

I know people call it a re-wrap, but I personally don't see any sign of re-sell, especially when the company sell it like this:

Introduction
Due to the great demand and big shortage of Sony VTC4 in the market, and in order to meet the requirements of customers, we launch this high drain battery XTVTC4, which is not only with higher capacity but also with lower price than Sony VTC4. With this excellent battery, you can enjoy smoking e-cigarette with more vapors.

I ran it in google and got nothing, XTVTC, and yet saw any of these in stock anywhere. Interesting? old news?

I don't like how they call the product xtvtc4 when they don't meet the specs of a real Sony vtc4

I wish I knew how to test them especially on the max. constant discharge aspect.

They are not Sony VTC4!!. xtar simply calls them xtvt4 for marketing purpose (or misleading). Look closely to the battery +ve and you can see they are different from a genuine Sony VTC4. Specs. are inferior compared to a Sony VTC4 too.
