On a preponderance of probabilities from what I have read, seems the Continuous Discharge Rating is 10A. But, agree all this because Efest is dishonest in their marketing - makes me want to throw all mine away and never buy Efest again.
Yes, all our VTC5 batteries are completely Legit, we checked every single one of them. I even removed the wrappers and confirmed it. All the markings, down to the seem and the QR code are completely legit. Here is a thread on spotting fake Sony VTC5 Batteries: http://www.sun-vapers.com/how-to-spot-a-fake-sony-vtc5-battery/
Thanks for the response mate. Glad to know you guys are on the ball and making sure all is legit.
No worries pal, you know, I find it funny that we go through all the legitimate channels to ensure our vapers get only the best, we carry out the tests, both quantitative and real world, and then one simple post on the forum can make our batteries seem fake. And that being based off another company who got fake VTC 5's and some post on reddit that could have been faked.Thanks for the response mate. Glad to know you guys are on the ball and making sure all is legit.
No worries friend, I too like to make sure my batteries are the real deal. There are many fakes around you are correct.
Yes it is difficult to get them in, and extremely difficult to get the Real ones in.
Yeh, it is just that there are not many folks selling VTC5 in South Africa, so, being the only ones selling VTC5 I naturally assumed it was directed at those selling VTC5's. But no worries, we will be posting our very own findings very soon so as to reassure our loyal clients that our batteries are the real deal even though we know the manufacturer who supplies us. We also cannot reveal our supplier because then folks would see how we managed to get the real ones in.
That's even worse news then - not much better than the 3Amp CDC rating of the original Vision Spinner batteries
To those that do not know and are considering buying these (EFest 3100MaH Purple) - read this article and decide for yourself (personally, I wouldn't get these now. EFest is saying one thing but the unwrapped item proves another): https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://vape.li/efest-imr-18650-3100-mah-20a-attention-ces-batteries-sont-dangereuses/&sandbox=1

Original Efest Batteries, i.e, not Pansonic batteries that where re wrapped. It is always important to buy from a reputable dealer. We make 100% sure all our batteries are real, so that you can be safe when using them in your mods. This was just a picture of one of the Efest batteries I removed the wrapper from. Great battery with excellent performance. Like our Vision Spinner, our batteries are also the Real Deal.
We will be doing our own in house testing and refer all results to this specific forum.
VTC5 Batteries, The Real Deal
We at VapeMOB do not sell fakes nor counterfeits, always genuine, always safe, always verified. We may have made one mistake in the past and then recalled the lot, but we will not do that again.
There is a trick to getting in the original VTC5 batteries. I cannot release that trick nor our connection but rest assured ours are the real deal.

Hi @Chop007 I see you disagreeing with me.

So while I may call you crazy (which is a good crazy btw) for posting those pics, I greatly appreciate it all. Thanks bud.
Lol, I took the wrapping of one of the Efest 3100s - just bare metal underneath, so I am none the wiser. With the VTC5 I could a least see that the gap (referred to in the first post) indicates the real article - was not going to take the wrapping off.@Chop007 I see you have gone to great lengths to show us that Vapemob sell legit VTC 5's.
Firstly I think you're crazy for tearing off the wrapping to prove it
Secondly, I never doubted you guys, I just wanted some reassurance.
Lastly, im sure i speak on behalf of all of us here, thank you for going that extra mile as you always do to keep us crazy vapers happy
And on that note, my VTC5's were just delivered from you guys. Perfect timing
No worries brother, I are crazy as a march hare. We will do whatever it takes to keep you guys informed and push safe products. We also vape so I know what it is like with knowing you are vaping safely. When I started vaping, my very first mech mod, and battery where fake as heck and it was not a nice feeling. So I will always make certain our vapers get the best treatment, regardless.@Chop007 I see you have gone to great lengths to show us that Vapemob sell legit VTC 5's.

Yeah for sure so true. I am investing in some decent testing equipment so we can do proper scientific tests on these batteries. Even though they are perfectly safe for our uses, I would like to make 100% sure of their capability. I have been in contact with Efest and they have assured me that the fake ones(false Rated) where removed about 4 months ago, long before our order.
The re wrapped LG batteries, have 'LG' on the battery itself, it was a batch from long before we ordered. The Efest 30A are also not Sony VTC4, as can be seen on numerous tests when taking the wrapping off. Our suppliers have assured us of their authenticity and have pulled the selling of the misrepresented Efests. Anyways, all mellows. I know many had bought the ones that where misrepresented from other vape stores, we however did not sell the unqualified. There is some shocking info and that is why we make certain that we are well informed before passing batteries onto our consumers. But no worries, I will still post real world tests at the 10th charge cycle, 50th charge cycle and 100th charge cycle, so as to ensure good statistical and analytic data. It will be the only way to settle the waves of paranoia that we see daily on the internet.
