Whoops! I'm glad I don't play down in the sub sub sub Ohm field!
Hahaha..... @Rob Fisher ......sub-ohm is awesome!! I use my Efest 35A batteries for that and they perform really well. Better than my SonVTC5's did.
no stress could you pm me the link pleaseHad I known you wanted them I would have ordered 8!
Sure!
I've also ordered from overseas and willing to give my verdict once I've tried them out.
I thought it was just my imagination that this fancy VTC5 2600mAh wasn't as good as my Purple eFest 3100mAh and 2500mAh... and there is no doubt that this particular battery is nothing short of useless! It doesn't even compare to my fake AW 2000mAh red batteries. It doesn't last and it takes an age to charge. You can see it's almost flat after an hour or so?
Unless this specific battery is a lemon and all the rest are OK but based on this I will never buy a Sony VTC5 again as long as I live!

I've got the same issue from 2 vtc5 I got from them.
Seems they not living up to standard
I hope they didn't originate from some used UPS.
Are you happy with the ones you got from me bro? Don't want to give your money back later
Why did everyone keep quiet? I thought I was just being doff! I was so excited because I had heard so many good things about a VTC4 and 5's and the disappointment was huge. I'm not very technical and thought it was only me and that I was just imagining they were kak. It would appear that they are not performing as they should. 
It's so weird that you're having such a bad experience with yours @Rob FisherWhy did everyone keep quiet? I thought I was just being doff! I was so excited because I had heard so many good things about a VTC4 and 5's and the disappointment was huge. I'm not very technical and thought it was only me and that I was just imagining they were kak. It would appear that they are not performing as they should.
I wonder if you just got b bad batch or something. My vtc 5's are the bomb. I go through 6 ml on a .67 Ω coil and they read 3.8v or so at the end of the day.

I have only had mine for a few days now. Still putting them though the paces. Although I can't help but come to the conclusion that:
- Assuming they are genuine.
- Battery Life is terrible.
- Either a faulty batch.
- Or they come from a questionable source. (ie. they have been used before in some way.)
- Outcome, they are not acceptable.
I purchased then from VapeMob about a month or so ago.
Me too... I wonder if they have had different batches?
@Rob Fisher and @Yiannaki, They reason that @zadiac wanted my efests, was because he had the same poor experience regarding the performance of the two VTC5's he purchased. I decided to swop two of my 2500mah efests with him anyway, just to see for myself.
What are your findings so far @Alex?
mine is the same.Here's a close up pic of the code on mine. Maybe compare it to your ones?
Are you also experiencing poor battery life like @Rob Fisher?
I bought for @Grayz at the same time I got mine and he hasn't had any issues either.
I have seen a big improvement today, after picking up some of that stuff from fuchs. No more sparking on the positive connection when firing the battery.

Good news for all who do not like VTC5, Sony has informed us they do not want their batteries in vaping devices. Even our OEM supplier cannot get them for us anymore. YES they are authentic, so unfortunately we will not stock them anymore unless we can travel to Sony and talk them into giving us some.
It always amazes me how this known vapers like Riptrippers, etc etc always advocate VTC5 and then here on ecigssa, even though our batteries are the real deal, more knowledgeable folks here simply diss the battery no matter what. Anyways, well, your wishes have come true, no more VTC 5's.
Since the Google experts like to copy and paste from other forums and use other folks investigations to back their viewpoints, I thought I would paste a link to this review of the 'Top 10 High drain batteries', which both back previous arguments and disregard some aspects: FYI: http://ecigarettereviewed.com/top-10-high-drain-batteries-for-sub-ohm-vaping
My question is a rather simple one. If you are not happy with VTC5's. If you consider Efest batteries to be re wrapped . Then what batteries would you like to use in your vaping devices? It seems to me that every time we try to cater to this community, bringing in the batteries that you desire and speak so highly of, and the devices, when we get them, you go through tremendous lengths to disrespect the product that we went through tremendous pains to get the original products in?
Take this post with a pinch of salt. But we are vapers that use our batteries daily, we use every device, daily,we put them through rigorous tests. To simply take a picture of a Sony VTC 5 in a charger and state that it is a 'lemon' without first contacting the supplier and giving us a chance to either exchange or test the particular battery, is simply rude. We would gladly inspect and exchange if necessary. Maybe charge it at 1.0A and see if it charges faster. Also, was this it's first charge cycle?
Anyways, whatever. You let me know what batteries you would like in your vaping devices and we will get those, literally any batteries,w e can get, and only the ORIGINALS, we have the contacts.
We are planning a trip to Tokyo to go visit Sony and strike up a deal. Given the sever, negative, biased and uninformed press on this forum we may however take it offline and sell them in store only.Nooooo!
Please tell me there is at least one more batch coming in
Yes batteries can be tested. The question: what do you need to be tested?
