hi all 
looking at the batteries again ..and saw that on ebay one supplier is charging 19.95 for 2 claiming geniune 30/50a
while another claims geniune 2 for 12.99 but 30/60a
here two links

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-GENUINE-SONY-VTC5-FREE-CASE-US18650-2600MAH-30-60A-IMR-LI-MN-BATTERIES-/271748324421

leaves me a little confused which one is the real deal as i have known of both vendors being around for along time now

any thoughts ?
cheers russ

The first one is the only ebay vendor to have confirmed VTC5s for sale (Norbert at ecoluxshop). Quite a few of us have bought from this recent batch. allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/55196/genuine-vtc5s-over-delay

The other is obviously too cheap, and allegedly has never been confirmed as selling a genuine VTC5.

we know ecoluxshop are the real deal, not sure about the others so I'd give em a miss.

i thought the ecoluxshop was genuine but the other one has been around for so long thought that if they weren't genuine then someone would have sussed him by now thx for help

Ecolux for me all the way

has an add on topic ...im running on efest hi drain 2800mah 35a at the mo ....not had long but is it worth grabbing the vtc's while their around how much better are they for the extra money,i paid 12.95 (2) for the efest from pure mist ..not a prob can pass them onto my son but only really want to get the vtc's if they really are better
cheers again russ

Sadly, plenty of eBayers been selling fake batteries, fake Kanger stuff as genuine etc for a long time. A common way of keeping their reputation is an immediate refund for any buyer who complains that something isn't genuine.

VTCs are miles better than the 35Amp purple efests, which are rewraps of 20Amp cells.

+1
Totally agreed. Slap a green wrapper on any old cell and call it a VTC for more $$.
