well the VTC4s that I used with my DNA rolo last longer as pairs in my Sigelei 150 than as triples. Hope that the VTC5s fair better.

vtc5 REAL? r u sure

[nanotm]

25r's last longer than vtc4's 30q's last even longer, also the vtc4's are not real sony stopped making batteries 3 years ago and stopped contracting the job out 2 years ago .....

Is it ok to use 30q's? Have they only got a 15a?

Lots of VTC5 fakes about.

Just be careful

I think there is more to choosing a mod than just battery life

Form factor gets talked about a lot with these mods, having a good feel in the hand
More power than most people will use
The size of the mods, give more versatility on the tanks you use, bigger tanks with no over hang
Three batteries to spread load use, instead of two being pushed to their maximum amp limits

For some i agree, but for me i work 9 hour days as a bricklayer with no power supply to charge mods and dont want the hassle of changing batteries in my mod while at work, power all the way for me

fasttech purchase, stated as being authentic, listed 06/2015

Sony VTC....no longer made by Sony, strangely VTC4 is supplied by Wismec/Joyetech as their OEM battery.

So essentially with this disclaimer....

 This product was never intended for individual, public sale and are not eligible for warranty or engineering support. It was only available to OEM makers of specific devices.

The specifications and markings on the battery may vary depending upon the OEM’s requirements. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the true manufacturer or authenticity of the batteries without physical inspection and manufacturing code research.

This type of battery seems to be widely available on the internet market through non-authorized resellers. Therefore, Sony is not liable for the performance or use of this type battery for non-intended purposes. Such applications should be done at the user’s own risk. Furthermore, any battery of this type claimed to be Sony brand may be older stock.

 which means.....although we have continued to make the VTC range its not meant for re-sale .


I wouldn't doubt Torchy's tests, if there are fakes or 20A rewraps he would know.
If i was able to I'd run a test to see if that drop was there at 30A I would, but I can't.
If they last no longer than my 25rs or the 'fake' OEM VTC4s that came with my Realeux or fade away like the 30Qs at barely mid battery....well I guess the £3.50 each may have been wasted.

I get through 18ml to 21ml @ 70w on each full charge (5 to 6 X 3.5ml tanks) before I get the weak battery message. You will need to go some to knock out a set in 9 hours.

tbh I was a bit concerned when I had ordered one about batt life but it seems to be unfounded
I used a sig 75 as m main mod and I used to change batts at least 3 times a day (25r)but the rx200 lasts me 2 days unless I'm playing around at stilly power(30q)


just don't drop it on any one from a height as is weighs about the same as an accy brick

What voltages are they when the mods stop?

Probably the the DNA is just being safer with the battery cut-off and the Sig is falling short on the wattage, could also be other things like the ground strap on the Rolo.

[SteveF]

it could well be that VB, I still haven't ventured into the casing to check the ground screw and the soft cut is still OE so without plugging in to check 2.8v? which as I understand is actually below the boards minimum soft cutoff

to be honest I haven't been back into escribe and been fastidious about checking the voltages
There was 0.01-0.02v difference between cell 1 and 2/3 charging on escribe and a tiny blip on firing, on the external charger they were 3.5v so down to 10.5 for the pack.

wouldn't say that running the battery analyser made masses of difference, I returned the case cooling to the OE settings and changing the mod resistance gave the most performance change of all. All round the Simeyues are performing much better than the rolo.

What batteries, tank and which mod? If its a rx200 i have something wrong 2 tanks in my uwell crown 0.25 coil 60w about 7 hours at work and im lucky if it last before i get home, about the same as my smok m80 did before the usb port broke.
