This review covers purple eFests, VTC4 & VTC5 youtube - ZVapor -18650 Battery Tests and uses a dedicated battery tester, he reckons the eFest 18650 is 17.5 or 20 A. I use VTC4, seem the best value at the moment, most the extra capacity on the VTC5 mainly kicks in at lower V. As I said I love that I can charge them in about an hour, the VTC5 would take a bit longer. Got 2 Xtar SP2 chargers for £15 each form Torchy, Tried a eFest LUC4 and sent it back as it overcharged.

Just an example I have some Panasonic CGR18650CH 10A, great batteries, but as max charge rate is about 1.5 A I have to charge at 1A and they take about 2:15 to charge. The Sony VTC4 charge charge at 4 A IIRC, so I charge at 2 A it doesn't stress them too much and only takes just over an hour. Its much easier to find an hour to be around while charging than 2.25 or even up to 8 if you use 3400 mAh on a 0.5 A charger.

I have 13 x 18650, 1 x 18500 & 6 x 18350 charged and ready to go. Maybe a bit excessive & its normally a few less than this, but I have had times where (510 & eGos) its hard to charge them quick enough, even when I had 5 18350s and a Lavatube my life revolved around the charger.

so vtc4 or 5s thanks VTC4's, they're better value and just as good if not better in some ways and can handle seriously low ohms. I can use one in my nemmy with the kayfun and 1 ohms coil and it'll last forever. I vaped all night, all the next day, all that night and some of the next day, stuck it in the charger and it still wasn't completely flat. I got two recently but am definitely getting more.

Got my Sony VTC4 from there (none available at the mo) but a longer lasting battery if you 1ohm+ is the Panny I get a good 25% more run time from them over the VTC4's with same resistance coil and power. 2 of the best batteries out there imo.
