Nice! Excellent mod and with no screen if it gets knocked over it’s no biggie.

That thing really is great. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. Cheap simple beater box that also happens to be an eye popping performer. I wish I would have gotten 2 when Breazy had them for 15 bucks. You and like a lot of the same stuff it seems.

Don't have any of the Molicels in 18650. I've been using the Samsung 20s in my BOG and all my 18650 tubes. If I'm vaping heavy and need more batteries the VTC5a's.

Do you notice a difference between the 20S and the VCT5A? I'm probably going to order something today, but not sure what to go with.

EDIT: Do the 20S hit noticeably harder? Is the 500mah really that big of a difference?

The 20S does hit noticeably harder; the difference isn't astronomical of course, but I can clearly feel the difference vaping at .11 ohms on a single battery mech enough that I stopped buying the VTC5A in favor of the 20S almost a full year ago. Whereas the 500mAh difference either is not or is barely noticeable if you draw 20A-25A from the battery so, at .11 ohms on a single battery mech, the 20S actually runs slightly longer than the VTC5A (due to the higher voltage of the 20S).

Perfect thank you. I run at the same ohms. 20S it is!

You won't be sorry.
Like Carambrda says, it's not night and day, but if somebody handed you two identical setups... mod, atomizer, build etc, with the only difference being one had a 20s and one had any other 18650, you'd be able to tell which was which.

Awesome! My current VCT5A inventory is about 3 years old. They don't perform like they used to.

I bought a ton of Moli's for that reason but I have two mods they wont fit in.

Yes. The 20s does seem to hit harder. I really haven't noticed much of a difference in run time, but I've also not done anything to test it. Don't know, nor do I care about the science behind it, but I do prefer the vape with the 20s over the tried and true vtc5a. That doesn't mean I'll be ditching my sonys but as they wear and need replacing it'll be the 20s.

I have new VTC5As and P26As and I can tell the difference. You are in for a treat with some new 20Ss. LIW has em for SIX BUCKS too.

It's not that VTC5As and P26As aren't great batteries, but for high load mech applications the 20s is definitely the thing in my humble and limited opinion.

I have plenty of VTC5As in new or good condition along with several pairs of new P26As. Those go in my regulated devices and are actually better for that use. Any unregulated 18650 application gets the 20s.

I haven't noticed a runtime difference either, but I keep my mech batteries charged anyway.

Can't wait. I already got my tracking info from Liion! I also bought some 25R's for my GF's billet box. They were dirt cheap so why not.

So all my batteries will be brand new and I can get rid of everything I have.

I've bought 3 new mods in the last week and a half, I'll have to pass.

I'm also going to wait on @dom qp and his Hexohm. He's recently engaged so I'm betting on that once the wedding is over he'll be gently encouraged to sell some mods by the new bride and I'll be waiting to swoop in on that one :D
(J/K.....kinda)

I have the same setup in the rotation right now. Same colors on both. Man the Detonator has got to be in my top 5 mods. Very simple, but feels and looks great imo. I was having quite the time finding a black one for a decent price so I finally went to eBay. Found a great seller from Vegas there selling them for around $75 (had all 3, that I know of anyways, colors). It came in 2 days. The Detonator needs more love lol
