What happened to all the vtcs

[Pasqual13]

Suprising to me that no corp has stepped up to make batteries for vaping. Seems like a new market with endless potential. Either way. Vtcs are becoming a pain to buy from credible vendors. Honestly i refuse to buy batteries from ebay and amazon. I use efest batteries right now. Which is bad enough, i hate their false advertising but their lg rewraps are easy to get eve though they claim 35a on a 20a battery.....

Compared to the big corporate battery customers, vapers are a tiny market. And with the controversey surrounding vaping, and the liability exposure if someone gets injured using one of their batteries, I don't think any of the Big 4 will ever release a battery for vapers.

I just received my order from Illumn.com and they look good! Six vtc5s and a few others

You got a good point there. Some regulation may not be bad though. Specially dealing with batteries which brings a lot if negative attention to the whole matter.

How much were they? If you dont mind me asking

$10 One of their more expensive 18650s but if all of the hype is correct, they should be worth it!

Thats a decent price if they are legit. 30a continuous is nice. Im running a parallel mech box so having 30s gives me peace of mind knowing that i am at least getting 40+ amps to work with on builds. I wouldnt push it past maybe 45a on a build

Unfortunately, they're 20A batteries...

The VTC4 can be taken to 30A though...a classic tradeoff, capacity versus current rating.

Moved to Batteries and Chargers.

Very true. I rarely, if ever, get close to 20A so these work for me. Thanks for the test info
