Let's talk about batteries

18650 battery recommendations! Longer lasting. Harder hitting. Using an ar 15 mod clone and a itaste vtr... Give me some ideas. The two battery's I have suck so bad barely last and are just.... Horrible

Do fake vtc4/5s exist? If so how do we tell which is real?

Yeah I think they do but can't tell you the details tbh. I know that real vtc's are hard to get hold of as sony don't make them anymore

Cross your fingers and buy from trusted vendors, like Torchy. The Torchy Boy 30amp 18650 Sony's are re-wrapped VTC4's:

I got four 18650 Samsung IMR 25Rs from the Ecolux shop on eBay yesterday. I'm really impressed! Of course, they're brand new so they're gonna perform better than my retired batteries but they seem to hit hard all the way down to ~3.5V. Not much bettery sag at all.

One of my Samsung 25Rs managed to get down to 2.9V today and it was still putting out very well. I was pretty good at sensing when my VTC5s were getting down to around 3.6V but the 25Rs seem to be little workhorses. I'm really impressed.
