I was recently informed by Amazon that the VTC5a batteries I purchased are NOT suitable for E Cigarette devices. Thoughts anyone.
No original manufacturer, Sony, LG, Samsung will ever say that they are. These batteries are meant for other devices like power tools etc. They are covering themselves from liability.
I would only say thatâs true if they are not authentic. If there is any concern I would contact the seller.l and do some research.
Overall, mooch (the battery testing guru) has claimed that authentic ones are one of the best for vaping. Granted, nothing is ââsafeâ but atleast the best in comparison with many of the other choices.
thanks for the prompt response. Appreciated
Yeah, just checked it out. Seems they are covering themselves. Thanks
thanks. Pretty sure theyâre genuine. I think they are just covering themselves, as other suppliers say the same thing.
Some people (unfortunately) never learned about Ohms Law and subsequently blew their faces off, resulting in all the disclaimers.
Itâs kind of like that tag on hairdryer that states not to use it in a bathtub.
I donât get it. Even if you donât know ohms law, you are pretty safe as long as you donât go below 0.15 ohms. What were these idiots doing? Loved your comment about the hairdryer by the way.Lol.
The batteries were not designed for electronic vapor devices and the disclaimer also releases the battery company from liability due to misuse of batteries.
Just an FYI - no more often than we have to buy batteries, itâs money well spent to buy from reputable dealers. Personally I donât trust Amazon with my life. Canât say I really trust any business with my life, but I feel itâs taking far less chances buying from Illumination Supply or IMR, and even then, insuring youâre buying the right battery for your application.
Thatâs only true with a battery that has sufficient continuous discharge rating. There is no one-size-fits-all rule - everything must conform to Ohmâs Law to be safe.
Thats not entirely true. With a 25a VTC5A you are in dangerous territory. A 20a battry would be even worse.
To all who have corrected me on my ââbeing safe as long as you donât go below 0.15 ohms,ââ point taken. The last thing I want to do is spread incorrect, dangerous information. So thanks.
Indeed! Do the the research, buy from reputable vendors, and trust the Mooch! He has a written blog on ECF and a vlog on YouTube:

Vape safe!
Wow. Just thinkâŚthey wouldnât have needed that yellow caution if someone hadnât actually done it!
