1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

Is it a fake 18650 battery? (Featuring the Samsung 25R)

    Yeah, the LG MJ1 are worth a look too, especially if you're using a parallel box mod. 3500 mAh I believe.

    I've got some I can send/take to the meet.
    I actually rewrapped my VTC5 that actually resemble 25r's. Not sure what they are, they ain't crap though.

    I've got a 25r that needs a re-wrap after meeting the metal burrs at the bottom of the IPV Mini II...

    No I don't but in all honesty, I am thinking of buying one and not for battery reason. A well groomed man should have a well furnished grooming station :)

    It's a fake VTC5. I haven't rewrapped a 25r but they look very similar, these don't have laser engraving on the outside but they do have similar marks top and bottom.
    I did have an issue with one where the voltage plummeted but I guess it may have been after the first charge and my negligence with a copper mod and not changing batteries when I usually do.
    I've used both regularly at 0.2 ish for months without issue.

    In fact I would wager that the fake VTC5 I have is from the same supplier as the one in this picture
