When I first got a mod I didn't know Sony batteries were often faked and hard to find. I didn't know VTC5s were all but gone, and I didn't know the VTC5s were only 20 amp batteries. I went out and hunted on Amazon (because I didn't know Amazon was a bad place to buy batteries). I found some one selling a pair of VTC5s for $18.00 or so and bought them.
Now, I've been a little leery of these two batteries since learned more about batteries and vaping in general. I bought two VTC4s to replace them, but a string of bad luck has cut me down to one good battery and one slightly dented battery. Both of these were my first two batteries that I was sure were fakes. However, my shipment of VTC4s (they're charging right now) have arrived so I cut open my damaged, "VTC5's," wrapper to see what's inside.
Here's the damage. Another victim of the FUhattan (though the FUhattan has a few new scars from the fall as well. It hit the pavement this time)
However, I was surprised to see that when I unwrapped it, well, here's what I found.
So, for those who know better, is this a real VTC5? Not that I think it's a 30 amp or anything anymore, but is this actually a VTC5? Because if so... That's kind of cool.
