I've still got my Kamry starter kit batteries, though I never use them. maybe I'll sacrifice one and see what's under the wrapper.
The more I think about these batteries, the more I just want to stick with the VTC 5's.

↑ Found em here too, and you don't have to bulk order, kinda just want to order 1 to unwrap and compare with the unwrapped Vamped pic.
...although even if I ordered today, it would still be a month before it showed up and we got our answer.

I'd been using these for a couple of weeks now. Unlike some I know - I rather enjoy the Vamps performance.
Lots of speculation surrounding these batteries, so I decided to just talk to Vamp. Here's their reply.
Thanks for your email. To give you a little insight on the battery, we are working with one of the largest manufacturer in China and had the Vamped Vapor Cell custom made to reach 40 amps. The manufacturer produces millions of batteries for other large name brand batteries. They developed the custom cell for me, and will not release it for anyone else. My manufacturer has told me we have the strongest 18650 battery on the market at 40 amps, and they have not developed anything stronger for anyone.
When it comes to 40 amp discharge and 20 amp continuous, this is referring to an average pulse rate of 60 seconds. If you hold your button down for longer than 60 seconds the amps will drop to 20. For an average vaper, a pull is no longer than 60 seconds, so the amps will continue to remain at 40 amps. This is everything that we were told from our manufacturer. I hope this can answer some of your questions. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

So this is really a 20A 18650 with a pulse discharge rate of 40A. The LG18650HE seems more capable with 20A continuous and pulse 60A.
The Samsung 25r and VTC's are more capable. The pulse rate is 60 seconds, which is just crazy.
so they have confirmed that these are 20 amps continuous...
...so
vamped 20 cont and 40 pulse
vtc5 are 30 cont and 60 pulse
These are the vamped cells, they state "General Performance of Vamped 40 Amp Battery" towards the bottom.
To me these Vamped cells look like a meek marketing attempt to "dethrone" the VTC line as the top vape batteries. Epic Fail
how did you get welding cable in a mod???
No need for welding cable. You just need a good set of batteries, a balance charger and some knowledge on rc car battery connectors. The last one I did was with this battery. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...imate_6400mah_1S2P_90C_Hardcase_Lipo_Pack.htm . It's a 2 cell pack so it has to be charged using a balance charger and the 5mm bullet connections had to be modified to XT connections to make it work out.
Before that was 3 VTC4's packed together making a 6300 mah 45c pack. I don't recommend other people doing this at all but I have been making battery packs for quite some time and understand it very well.
correct me if i am wrong but,wouldn't a higher mah rating be a better indicator of battery performance under moderate loads?

im gonna grab some of these just to try in my DNA mods to see how much it increases the battery life.
How would these increase battery life? Use something with a higher mah rating.
hell i dont know SK!........something else to spend money on and try......lol
i bought 4 on ebay yesterday on an offer bid for $30 so ima give them a try and see how they work.

Not sure If I posted this on this thread but in my load test of various batteries the Vamped cell performed comparable to other cells with a 20 amp rating (continuous)
A good battery but certainly not something to upgrade to if using 30 amp batteries.

Realize Im a bit beyond the curve but this battery is junk and NOT for super sub ohm crowd. They go boom at as little as 50 amps according to some tests. The 40 amps is truly this battery's top.
In my tests with a 0.1Ω load the Vamped 40 amp battery had a significant voltage drop, down to 3.27 volts pulsed while the Sony VTC4's came in around 3.74 volts pulsed. I wouldn't want to use the Vamped 40 amp batteries in an application where the pulse exceeded 30 amps if even that high. This battery is just not a good choice for sub-ohm vaping (IMO).
