So I swear I read somewhere (I don't remember were unfortunately) that Sony are starting to make VTC5S again, is this true? I know vapordna started selling them not to long ago, if anyone has actual info that would be great thanks!
VTC5s in stock again?

Genuine VTC5's are available again from multiple vendors. I've tested a pair from Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery distributor and they're the real deal. IIRC, there's some evidence that they never stopped making them, just stopped making them available to anyone who might resell to a vaping-related distributor, vendor, etc.
Do you know any other websites that sell them that are authentic? Oh and I checked your battery chart yeah the 30Qs are 15 amp haha
Check the major battery resellers. Also check Mooch's blog chart on the VTC5's (it is a 20A cell).
* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics
Will be interested to hear what he has to say. Have you tried the LG HB6?
I change my batteries so often that its not reasonable for me to start using batteries with drastically lower mAh. I've even got mods that take multiple 18650 batteries and am still even changing those at least once a day with 2500mAh+.
Since Mooch has the data points already, they are just hard to read due to the line graphs not having marked points and each battery having its own link to a separate graph, I am hoping that he will compile a graph that shows voltage under load for multiple batteries with clear voltage points on the graphs. So, staying within the safe CDR parameters of the battery, which battery hits the hardest on a mech mod? Just from personal experience, I think the VTC5 is up there towards the top of the list.
Which batteries have the best battery life in your guys experience? Iv only really used the Samsung 25R I bought an LG HE2 but never used it and gave it to a buddy of mine
Obviously, a mech. Or an unregulated box. Which is why I brought it up in the first place. But, if you are asking me my opinion without the actual data that Mooch has, the VTC5s hit hard. 25R is good too. The HE2 and HE4 is also good, but not quite there with the VTC5 and 25R. I also notice that the Imren Green (I know its a rewrap) hits really hard brand new, but after a few charge cycles (maybe 10 or so) can't maintain the same voltage under load. I have a number of others I have used, but this is just where the 'feeling' of the batteries in one of my many mechs puts these batteries.
If using regulated, it doesn't really matter. Just pick something with a high mAh that meets the CDR requirements of the mod manufacturer.
I don't know what the Imren Green that I mentioned is. All I know is that I push all these batteries really hard and the Imren doesn't get too hot and can handle what I throw at it. So its a safe re-wrap, whatever it is. I've only been using three of them in a triple 18650 unregulated box, I haven't tried them in any other mod. They perform surprisingly well with low resistance builds, but, in my experience, they seem to have lost a bit of their voltage under load after having been recharged daily for a week or two.... or it could be the mod, this wasn't really a test done with any kind of appropriate standard, its just my casual observation.
Are they 20 amps? I saw a vid with rip trippers using them and he said they were good as well. Is that quick for a battery to lose voltage like that or is that normal?
I told you that I don't know what cells were rewrapped here. Only that the battery performs very well when new. The ones I am talking about are the green Imren sold as 3.7V 2600mAh 38A.
Yes
Check Orbtronic
$10.99ea
Performing better than my Samsung 25R's
In re-wrapping hope for the best - buy the best.
Re-wraps are Batteries that for some reason were rejected by the manufacturer.
This could be cosmetic or below standards.

They're probably 20A cells but I haven't tested them.
Typically, fairly quick fading of the voltage at the start of each new discharge indicates that the battery was damaged a bit by being discharged past its rating. But without testing a new battery and seeing it degrade over time it's hard to say for sure.
