Here's another thread on the same thing: PVTSO Elite 2100mAh Opinions?. The strange thing is your link at madvapes claims 38A continuous, 60A pulse and the link on the other thread to madvapes claims 25A continuous and 30A pulse.

I commented on my opinion of the discharge curves in post #7. From those curves, these are not VTC4's, but they could be VTC3's. Or maybe not.

You can get authentic VTC4 from Illumination Supply for $8 each last time I checked :)

There are no 60 amp batteries if there were they would be like 300mah

Just go to rtdvapor
lg
aw
samsung
sony
panasonic
good priced, decent shipping, highly trusted get my batts in 2-4 days


These new or strang brands with odd claims are all rewraps looking for a sucker to pay top dollar for brands we already use.


Interesting thread right here

hey guys,
i have been running these in a parallel box and I super sub ohm running at .08 right now and i have not had any issues.. well im writing this to you so i haven't lost my fingers or face yet. I actually have been using them for a month now and I am really liking them. I also have 25Rs that i run primarily but i have been using these PVSTO batteries more and more and can say they ain't bad. I have looked high and low for their spec sheets mainly so i know what I can and can't do with my builds and have yet to find any info. I am just going w/ the 38A high amp high drain rating and hoping its legit.

S,C,
At some point theses are not batteries anymore or becoming a hybrid battery and capacitor in one. Its been a few years since my electronics training but a few things I do remember. The teacher used to be a X-Ray machine tech and said half of his job on servicing the machines was replacing the main charge caps that fired off the X-Ray tube. He explained that they were properly sized and farad rating was more than adequate but they still were changed 6 months to a year depending on the use of the machine. The reason being is the sudden high surge that the machine pulled from the Capacitor\s (which is what there designed to do) changed the chemistry a little. They weren't deemed safe anymore after so many high pulls from them. Capacitors and the IMR batteries of today (my electronics training was around the time of Ni-cad and Ni-mh.) My rational for these high amp batteries and the low sub ohm/super low ohm is basically the same. Most specs I have read on the batteries I have will say something like 80 percent after 500 charges. That's under normal where and tear. Manufactures will not factor in Sub ohming. Its to much of a liability so it falls to this community to combine some one with an Oscilloscope and then people that have batteries of varying age that do the real low ohm vaping on a continuous basis. Chart the battery type, chemistry, age, Ohms, The more variables the better. I think it would make the sport safer and more people "myself included" more comfortable with the lower ohms for cloud competitions. Yes it would be a lot of work at first. Several people if they had them could work on a central database of batteries. Keep the info in publically available Excel sheets. I used to use one and there is a decent one for 4 to 500 dollars. Think green fluke O-scope. I don't know I would trust my testing of the batteries. I haven't worked in 14 months and a lot of it has to do with Organic Brain damage. When your talking about these calculations, you need to be on your a game. I'll help what I can. Please don't take this as coming up with all this work but saying someone else is going to have to do it. Trust me, I wish I could. That means I could go back to work and bring in a pay check and not have to live with your mother and have her Social Security pay your 400 dollar a month medical. I wrote all of this is because I have some knowledge and I love the vape community. I don't know I would ever go super low ohm. I leave myself a gap on the continuous discharge. I never factor in the surge discharge of a battery. For instance .3ohm is the lowest I have gone on a MNKE 26650 is .3 ohm. I have the 35amp efest in my sigeli 100 watt when 20 would have been fine.
