Those cheap $1.29 Ebay batteries are pretty good

Seriously, these work pretty damn good

 

"Work pretty damn good" with what sort of load?

 

Look like your standard eFest purples that are all over the place. I have a couple and they are OK but do not seem to last as long as Sony VTC5 or LG HE2/HE4 and I think they cannot handle quite as much amp load despite specs they are advertised with. At least I would rather reach for the others for a very low ohm build before the purples.

Despite all that, a real good value at that price!

 

Efest purples are flat top, mine also have a black cap

**Updated**

I'm actually just comparing my Efest Purple with a vt5. Nothing scientific, just the joules meter on the sx mini lol

 

I think mine are flat top too but understood eFest also has the purples in nipple top. Just checked and see they do but yes, with the black cap not white. Odd.

 

These aren't the Efest ones, they're just wrapped in purple to make it look like an efest. These are the ones I got. 1pcs High Drain Rechargeable Battery 18650 35A 3 7V Li MN 2500mAh Button Top SY | eBay

I can say from trying them out for the past 3 weeks they're actually not bad batteries at all. Been going to about 0.5 ohms with no problems on a mech. On a regulated mod the charge lasts about as long as my genuine VTC3's.

 

Sometimes you scare me with your battery use XD, but to each his own. I respect you for trying new things 5555

 

We're all different and I like a bargain just as much as the next guy but, no way am I up for saving a few dollars on unproven batteries. I'm too pretty to risk my good looks

 

you never know man, a explosion in your face may make some improvements. For example, vaping scars (they're like war scars but they're cooler)

 

Well, let's say you're at a party and some guy's like you get that knarly scar on your cheek
you reply, "Oh, that thing? yeaa i took a pipe bomb to the face trying to quit smoking"
pretty awesome...

Lots of green sony's there, so yes I do spend a serious chunk of change on batteries. I'm not getting paid for endorsing these batteries AND, unlike most of the grizzled hags that hang out here, I am ridiculously beautiful. Let's be brutally honest here and without mentioning names...for certain members here a battery explosion to the face would either be not noticed...or be considered "an improvement".

 

there's a few fake vtc in there, you should be careful on those
