A BATTERY MOOCH POST: The Sony VTC6 is not rated at 30A!
I’m still testing this 3000mAh battery but wanted to address some misinformation going around. Just like the other Sony VTC batteries, the max continuous current ratings are being read incorrectly.
As you can see in the attached datasheet image the Continuous Maximum Discharge Current rating is 30A, but only if the battery temperature does not exceed 80°C! It is a temperature-limited rating and this is critical. This means that the 30A rating is only a maximum current level for short-term discharges and is not a true continuous rating.
Below the 30A Continuous Maximum Discharge Current rating in the datasheet you can see the true continuous rating, 15A.
I should have my tests done in a few days as I am also directly comparing the VTC6 against HG2’s and 30Q’s.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE JOYETECH ULTIMO TANK – 7/12/16
Joyetech has a new DL only tank coming your way… the Ultimo.
With this tank, they introduce their new “MG” series coil heads.
It comes with a Ceramic-0.5ohm head, Clapton-0.5ohm, and a QCS-0.25ohm head.
The QCS (Quick Change System) head allows you to change the cotton on it, so I guess it’s a bit of a “partial” RBA head. A full RBA head is also available for the tank.
The QCS head also has a notch coil with a massive diameter.
Here’s some more from Joyetech:
ULTIMO atomizer adopts new top filling system and improved adjustable airflow control. New MG series heads with novel designs especially provide great vaping experience, including which the innovative MG Ceramic-0.5ohm head with long-lasting lifespan brings you a pure flavor ever. Spiting and leakage can be avoided. It can be used under high temperature condition, providing large vapor production. Meanwhile, ULTIMO atomizer is easy to carry, install and refill.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – SOME NEW PRODUCT FROM ATOM VAPES – 7/9/16
SOME NEW PRODUCT FROM ATOM VAPES
Got some new product in from Atom Vapes.
First the Metropolis Tank. When they first contacted me on this, it was supposed to be an extremely inexpensive tank in the $10 range, but it’s showing up on their website for $21.99 and $19.99. Hmmm.
I do kinda like the looks of this one. Here’s some more info from their site:
Designed based on the 1920’s Art Deco movement. The Metropolis Tank uses the simplicity of art deco lines, luxurious 24ct gold plated components and powered by Atom gClapton coils. It delivers an amazing vape, all day, every day. Unlike other metal tanks, the Metropolis feature a Pyrex chassis with gold plated components accentuating the true natural flavor of liquids. It’s a true flavor tank.
Whats Inside:
- 1 x Metropolis Tank
- 1 x gClapton Kanger Coil (0.5Ω 25-45w)
- 1x User Manual
Compatible with our gClapton Kanger coils
Next is the Yakuza 70W Box Mod. I appreciate the 70W rating on a single 18650 battery mod which sounds more realistic. This one was handed to me in Chicago (I think 🙂 ). First thing I noticed was an interface that didn’t look like everything else which I always commend. Perhaps it’s worth a look when I can get to it.
Here’s some additional information from their site (which isn’t a lot BTW):
Compressed to be as small as possible, with a design that captures the very essence of creativity. It’s rugged look and soft textures feel solid in the palm of your hands. An easy to use interface with a three click mechanism for changing modes and an enhanced chipset with one of a kind Ceramic Mode feature for new lines of coils. Super powered 18650 Capacity with the first box mod ever to have both Android and Apple lightning charging ports, offering you the convenience to charge anywhere in an hour with a 3A charger.

DEAR FDA…
Dear FDA,
You are about to kill people. Your actions will cause people to die in 3 different ways…
- Vapers will go back to smoking if they can’t get the products they desire.
- Smokers will continue to smoke without the ability to try and purchase a wide variety and selection of products.
- The black market, which you are about to create, will put unsafe products into the hands of many.
People will die. I hope you’re prepared for the blood that will be on your hands.

HAPPY 7-YEAR VAPEVERSARY TO ME
7 years ago today, I left the world of cigarettes and became a vaper.
I’ve met some incredible people.
I’ve made some incredible friends.
I’ve traveled to some incredible places.
I’ve been given some incredible opportunities.
For this and for you, I’m eternally grateful.
No matter what the future holds for us, I will continue to be committed and dedicated to helping people rid their lives of cigarettes and find the healthier alternative that is vaping.
Happy Vapeversary to me!
KANGER ANNOUNCES THE PANGU
Well, it looks like Kanger has developed a brandy new, state of the art… CARTO TANK! 🙂
I’ve been most of the tanks these days are based on the early carto tanks, but this one really reminds me of one.
I do like “Clean Hands” coil replacement on this one… very similar to Innokin tanks, but from the other side of the tank.
Of course, I question “One coil for both MTL and DL vaping”. I’ll believe that when I try it. 🙂
I’ve got some coming in. Let’s see how they perform.
