@onion or indeed anyone else, are the VTC5s wortht he premium over say the Samsung 25r, and if so, why?
Bear in mind in vaping at .3ohm and below on either a dual battery Hexohm or an evic vtc mini
According to others no. Apparently they're quite saggy for low resistance builds.
I use 25r's in my hex at 0.3 and nothing has exploded yet but I don't tend to run at 6v which is the only time the batteries would be near their max. In any event id be confident that nothing untoward would happen, I believe Torchy has tested these batteries to a higher amp draw without any serious consequences.
For balance... All the other batteries I have are vtc5's from
@myepack. I use them in another series box which is pretty much the same as a hex (only difference is a raptor chip), a mech, a series mech, a parallel mech and a d2. They seem fine to me.
Having said that, it could be that I've not noticed whether they're better or worse because I lack experience or don't run my drippers and tanks at resistances which would make these weaknesses apparent.
I guess the question is, with so much uncertainty surrounding the legitimacy of these batteries is it worth scouting round for the cheapest deal and risking fakes when you could pay approximately the same or slightly more from trusted vendors? Or, skirt the problem all together and get the current 'go to'?
At 0.3, 20a batteries will always be ok. At 0.2 on a mech, maybe not so much... (Edit) unless it's a parallel.
