I finally looked at your link to the KingWei cells, pretty good price for 10 of them. Hope they are as advertised, although I did not see a peak current advertised, maybe I missed it.
No current rating is given, just a “High discharge performance” statement in the wrap. My right astral ear was beeping when I found them. There's really no way to lose here because:
You could ask vapcell Dennis… wait! It seems like vapcell Dennis' posts have been removed from the forum. I was checking to see if I could find them, but no dice. Examples:
There was a thread titled “Tesla sanyo NCR21700A 5000mah amazing power beat samsung 21700 48G” back in the day (November - December of 2018). vapcell Dennis started it with a bunch of graphs of their own cell testing versus others related in the same category from the main manufacturers. I have update alerts from that thread in my email. The thread has been removed. Now I understand why, all of a sudden, I noticed a steep drop in my post count weeks ago.
I thought it was sb (BLF admin) who removed their posts. Maybe they didn’t pay their sponsor dues? But then why not remove their user profiles completely?
Vapcell had 4 accounts (that I know) and posted commercial posts outside commercial sellers spot and also made many topics in commercial sellers spot.
That is against BLF rules to sb removed that.
Vapcell is actually a reputable company from my experience and I own a bunch of different Vapcell cells. For example I tested the Vapcell 18350 cells (probably older version) at 1156/1155/1019/1149/1126 mah. I was going to retest the 1,019mah unit becaues it might be a fluke with my Xtar Dragon but they got mixed up so I didn’t want to retest everything. The 2800mah Vapcell VTC5D measures 2855/2775/2842/2866 and pushes my FET flashlights harder than the VTC6. The Vapcell 3000mah VTC6A measures 2986/2983 mah and also pushes harder than my geniune VTC6. The Vapcell 4000mah 40T measures 4038 mah and pushes the several Fireflies E07 I have to near 30T levels as confirmed with my TA lumen sphere.
It is unfortunate that the recent batch of Vapcell 18350 does not perform the same as the older batches, but it is beyond Vapcell’s control if their supplier changes the formula without letting Vapcell know. I give Vapcell the benefit of the doubt because they are well aware that there are plenty of forum members that have the capability to test their cells and that would be a big risk to lose reputation over maybe a couple pennies in savings. Also I like how Vapcell voluntarily send so many of their cells to HKJ and Mooch for testing, which I think is extremely beneficial to the community.
Last but not least, please remember Vapcell does not manufacture cells. They simply rewrap cells. If not for rewrap companies, many of these cells would not be available to the average consumer because they are not available for purchase in small quantities. Among the rewrappers, Vapcell seems to be one of the more knowledgeable and reliable ones.
I think it would be very helpful to members here if your deleted posts can be recovered because many of your posts contain useful technical information.
Btw, I was looking for you for a month already. Didn’t get any email response from the email shown on your website after multiple emails sent. Is admin@szfyte.com even correct?
