VTC-5's

[cocuZZa00]

I just paid $30+ for 1 Sony VTC5 battery. I currently use VTC4's so I really wanted to see what the difference is. Also, I bought it off Amazon (yes, they are in stock on Amazon's website) so I am confident they are authentic Sony VTC5 batteries.

At least that's how I am going to justify almost overpaying by double in my mind.

Well, Sorry to say, but, Buying from Amazon is not a guarantee at all for authentic batteries.

I unwittingly bought half a dozen fake AW's on amazon in January of this year.

I did get lucky a few months ago and received genuine Sony VTC5's from Jetts batteries through Amazon. I got lucky however.

Really? how did you handle the situation? Did Amazon do anything?

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I buy nothing mod or batt related off amazon or e-bay. Too many scammers out there

Amazon did nothing. The Seller denied the AW's were fake but, The batteries I received scored 100% on the "how to tell fake AW batteries" threads prevalent in this forum.

I received a product. That is as far as Amazon went. They were not going to listen to my claims of "but the font of the print is wrong and that they lacked the holographic sticker".

Fake Sony's abound on Amazon and Ebay right now. VTC5's have become scarce now and the fakes are truly easy to buy.

I'd cancel that order. These are genuine VTC5s for a third of what you just paid.

Wow... thank you. I just ordered 3. Unfortunately it's to late to cancel my other order but I'm glad I made this post.

Let's hope the amazon battery is legit. I will let everyone know.

Wow... that's really a shame. It's amazing how people will take advantage of other people just to make a buck... especially with something so dangerous.

it shocked me too last year when i bought fake MNKE cells from a VAPE STORE, nonetheless. now, things like this barely raise my eyebrow. its incredibly irresponsible and pathetic, to say the least. these days i refuse to buy any batteries from any vendor who has not been verified up, down, sideways, and inside out.
