VaporDNA sells fake batteries?

I was just reading the sticky on vtc4s' and vtc5s' and was kind of pissed cause I just bought 3 vtc5s' off of vapordna.com. Should I contact them or could I have somehow received real ones? I thought they seemed pretty legit. Any suggestions or opinions on what to do? I'm kind of a newb and that was the first time I bought batteriea. Should I buy the Samsung 25rs' next time?

How do you know the batteries you have are fake?
Im pretty sure you're ok, VaporDna is one of the best overall vendors out there

OK it kind of sketched me out cause of the article at the top about how they aren't made anymore...
They weren't made for about a year or so after the Fukushima nuclear meltdown- the manufacturing facility was close to Fukushima and was shutdown because of it. they've finally outsourced and are back in production. but for a good while most of everyone was staying away from anything Sony unless we could make good and sure they were leftovers.
That whole ordeal is really how Samsung and Lg got popular.

That sticky IMO should probably be nuked. If that info was ever correct, it is not anymore.

 
Wow... I thought they were all fake too. Glad I stumbled upon this thread. Although vtc4's are currently out of stock at vapordna

I still don't trust them (sony batteries), but it doesn't matter now anyway since other cells are just as good if not better. The LG HB series is the only true 30amp battery. The VTC4's are really only 20amp that can be pushed 25 to 30, but get very hot doing so.

You have any proof they are fake or just blustering?

No, looks like he was asking but it's almost a statement......nothing like researching before you buy I guess. All the vtc5's I have bought seem fine from what I have seen comparing with signs of the rewrapped and authentic, but the title does suck.

I trust vapor dna 100% on anything they sell and until I hear otherwise or get something that is shady They will continue to be my top vendor:)

If you buy the Samsung's there are plenty of ways to point out a fake, while the VTC batteries there arent many ways to easily point one out besides testing and comparing one to a Authentic side by side.

Does anyone know about the VTC4's off of 101vape.com? Ive bough a couple of pairs off of them the other week and they look legit for as far as i can tell but i know appearances are not everything.
