Depends on how low you run your builds, or if you use it in a regulated device. For a regulated device, the 25R is good, for a mechanical mod, the VTC4 is good because it can put out a continuous 30 amps which allow for a decent safety margin, the 25R is rated for 20 Amps Continuous.

If you are going to use VTC4's, make sure you get authentic and I would get them soon seeing as Sony is pulling the open distribution of them to battery resellers.

Both are excellent cells, but they are best suited for different purposes. The VTC4s are high-amp batteries and great for high power builds. THe 25Rs are medium power, but will last longer because they hold more juice. Which one you want depends on what you're doing. Batteries are often counterfeited, be sure to buy from a reputable dealer.

Does their capacity is a reason ?The capacity of 25r is bigger than VTC4's.

Yes, i agree with you. I just heard about that many VTC4 batteries are re-wrapped. It seems that original batteries are less than what i think.

Mooch says Sony VTC4 batteries are not 30amp batteries. Can they be run at 30amps?, yes, but so can a Samsung 25r. You can pulse any of these way higher than the CDR.

The VTC4 is closer to a 20amp battery than they are 30amp.

Then is there a decent CDR 30amp or above battery?

LG HD2/HB4/HB6. I use all three with the only one variant from my collection being the pink HB6.

Yes, Mooch's battery tests is really a useful basic to choose a suitable battery for me. There also has much more new batteries came out recently. Maybe they are improving the proprieties of the battery. I came to account a new battery 45a with 3000mah capacity, it is really attracted my attention. I remember it is yellow, however, I forget its brand name now. What's a pity.

The only 30A CDR cell that I trust with a nominal capacity of 3000 mAh is the LG HG6. If you can find one outside of a battery pack, that is...

No such thing as a 45amp 3000mAh battery. The specs you saw on the wrapper is a lie, there to attract market share from people with wishful thinking.

It's probably more like a 15amp with 3000mAh. If it really was a 45amp, the capacity would be more like 1000mAh or less. Can't have both.

You can probably pulse a 15amp battery to 40amps or so, but if that were to fire while in your pocket and get stuck on firing, you would end up like this guy.

Firstly, thanks for your reminding. Secondly, safety is the most important when vaping, so I would like to choose a good battery with guarantee. Although much markets amid to make money, if they make a fake products then the company will soon disappear. However, there really exists high drain battery with a little big capacity from Mooch's test. Maybe someone will make a test on this 45a 3000mah battery.

If you go through all the batteries Mooch has tested, the LG HB series were the only true 30amp cells, and capacity of 1500mAh. I doubt he will bother wasting his time on a battery labeled "45amp 3000mAh", since those specs are not close to accurate. If enough people sucker for them, and they become somewhat popular, then he would probably test them. But more and more people are getting wise to this nonsense these chinese companies are schlepping.
