Which batteries to go for ?? (FT order)

[igual]

Ditch the kayfun a d get 1 from m-vapes when they back in stock .

The Sonys form FT are fine is you don't mind the wait, I believe the Panasonics are genuine to, I would get the VTC4 or 5 as they are good for everything and you won't out grow them.

Hmmmm.

People give fasttech a bad rap. I have plenty of genuine batteries from them. No problem with quality IF you buy the right ones.

However, have not bought off them for over a year. Wait, and lack of decent saving, not to mention the chances of falling foul of posting rules has put me off.

The 3,400 Panasonics (the evil ICR ones) are still going strong 15 months later. I would never use them in anything but Evic/SID/Vamo, of course.

VTC's from Focal are genuine too, bought 8 from them early on this year when they were impossible to source in the UK.

would you say the purple Efest's are as good as the VTC5's ?

No the purple 35A efest are actually 20A LG batteries. They are fine as 20A batteries but not in the same league as the VTC's. I have a few of the purple efest's and use them with builds of .3 Ohm and above, but if I go lower I make sure im using a VTC.

I usually use ecoluxshop on ebay but If they are OOS tourchy or myepack I think would be ok or the one leo said.

I always buy from torchy never have a problem and if you do he sorts it out fast last month I bought 12 18350 e-fests off him 2 were dead on arrival I e-mailed him he sent 2 replacements he was tired and sent 18500 by mistake I e-mailed him again he resent and told me to keep the 18500 cells very helpful and genuinely nice bloke

I had 2 Panasonic 3400 mAh not delivered form ecoluxshop on ebay about a year ago, Norbert replaced the batteries plus gave me 4 18650 he had tested once as well.

Torchy, Ecolux, bought from both, and both vendors are top notch. Had some green Panasonics 1865 03400mah in the past when it was quicker, and they are all going strong.
For my money I would buy from this country, you'll get them in 3 days tops and if you have a problem the vendors will sort you out quickly and efficiently.

I have 2 x Russians and a Kayfun 3.1 from FT and they are all brilliant - but I have never vaped the real thing, so I may be biased. Work for me every time though . . .

+1 on the above. Don't go cheap arse on batteries

[boyofford]

I've ordered vtc3s from fasttech and got here in two weeks no problems but they have changed courier for batteries now.

Ordered some vtc5s with drip tips beginning of July, removed batteries from order when read about courier change but didn't realise that didn't change the courier option automatically... Doh

Drip tips are still to leave Philippines.

You can save a bundle buying them from Fasttech but they are sent surface mail now so 2 or 3 months - won't stop me buying them. Panasonic NCR are OK but not for high Watts - I think you want unprotected in a regulated device. Sonys good and more powerful.

Bought vtc3s when less worried about fakes, but to be honest they have behaved well....I think.

Do want to slowly migrate to just using vtc5s though.
