Thanks Lorenzo, it is not logical (especially, for a long time job) to evaluate 
this parameter by try and error. Is it a way to estimate it before the run?
I think it is much better to use relax command + changing lattice size instead 
of vc-relax. How do you think?

 Just do that.. Cell_factor is an input
 parameter. However I'm not sure that vc relax, or the
 stress calculation is reliable and we'll defined if your
 cell is charged (how do you dope it?)
