xtar is selling vtc5s rebranded. I am sure Baditude will post a link soon enough. If push comes to shove you can get the vtc4s they are the same amp rating as the vtc5s slightly lower mah so they wont last quite as long on a charge but still one of the best around. Only buy them from a reputable vendor, fakes are all over and might cost you more than just a waste of your money.

yea lol you can buy 6 or more vtc4 for the same price as 2 vtc5s at the moment . 6 vtc4 will give you a collective mah of 12,600 and 2 vtc5 collective mah is just 5,200 . so the vtc4 is the clear winner in my opinion .

That's the way I'm going to look at it. He has obviously been through the same dilemma I have. He even got math involved. Bravo!

Thanks Susan~S, I was actually looking for that link.

I was looking for some VTC5's last night and I saw so many fakes out there. I have a B&M that sells them right down the road but I wanted to see if anyone sells them cheaper online. It seems like companies are taking Samsung batteries and wrapping them in Sony wrappers. I guess they all come from China. It's a pretty crappy thing to do because it's so dangerous when it comes to sub-ohming and batteries. You definitely don't want to have a battery and think you have 30 amps when you really only have 20 amps. That probably won't work out too well for your face. But definitely buy them from a reputable dealer so you know you're getting authentic Sony batteries!
