New Counterfeit Vtc5 Batteries

thanks @Chop007 for verifying this!

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.

So you saying I shouldn't believe Dampfakkus.de, ecf and candlepower ?

Take all you hear with a pinch of salt. There are many ways to get the real ones in. There are even easier and cheaper ways to get the other ones in. It depends entirely up the suppliers budget and what they are willing to go through to get the real stuff in. But yes, many posts on those forums are completely correct they just do not apply across the board to all retailers. The danger comes in when it seems as if each and every retailer got the fakes/incorrectly labelled ones in, that is when I say no, not all retailers are equal and some can also make mistakes without even knowing it. That is why we sell clones as well as originals, at least then you have the option and those who have may be low on cash can also buy. But we will never compromise on safety, that is a big no, no. Classic bro, your a legend.

STOP.
You clearly read two words, and felt personally attacked. From that point on, it seems you have only been seeing red and not reading or thinking clearly.

NOBODY doubts your stock.
ONE user mentioned that he purchased from you, and just to be sure, checked. His results were that your stock is real. Another user thanked that user.

The conversation has since then shifted towards the lies that EFEST tells about their products.
NOBODY said that YOU lied about efests. NOBODY said that your efests are fake.

EFEST lied to you.
EFEST lied to us.
EFEST LIED.

Stop defending yourself as if a torchmob is at your door... we're not!
We love you already!

Just... stop.
Breathe.

Now then. We would love to see any data you might have on the 3100mah EFESTS.
It seems EFEST has been telling horrible lies about their performance...

My conclusions about the Efest 3100:

1. In the very beginning they were re-wrapped LG batteries with a Continuous Discharge Current of just 4A.
2. Then they used another battery with a Continuous Discharge Current of 10A, but claim 20A on the wrapper. They have now publicly admitted this.
3. It would seem the stock at VapeMob are the 10A ones. Imo these are good above 0.8 ohms.
4. If you are not sure, take of the wrapper. If it is LG branded it is probably 4A. If unbranded and just bare metal, probably 10A. Then re-wrap properly.

Then re-wrap properly.

You make it sound so easy, lol.

Lol, no certainly not, but my summary of a load of documentation I have read about it, thanks inter alia to the inputs by @Gazzacpt, @Silver, @M4dm0nk3y and others in this thread.

One definite conclusion is that i will not buy Efest again.

There are two *experts* on batteries on candlepowerforums and one of them does comprehensive tests, has done the tests on most of the batteries available. Performance tests, specs tests, not QA tests.
