If I can jump in; this game looks like fun... The mAh rating (in the description) doesn't agree with what's on the battery but I'm concerned on a completely different level. See how the wrapping is a bit crinkled/loose? The crimp on the can is poorly defined which makes it look like it's been done on sub-standard equipment. The label looks wrong and the AW label doesn't look quite right.

Now AW batteries do probably come out of a few different factories, but I'm suspicious enough that I would not purchase that product.

It should look more like this one:

I noticed that too. The writing caught my attention, since mine (from RTD) all look like the ones from the ProVape. However, when I did an image search a lot of results came up from reputable vendors, like Empire mods, with the same one line of text. :blink: I don't know what to think about that. The crinkled plastic still bothers me though.

I think what has happened is they have ripped the image off another site. Most of the other images on the site show product placed on hessian and shot with a straight down spotlight. That one was shot on a high key background, with a foil reflector and badly photoshopped on the cut which was probably done to obscure other branding or product. Why you would pick such a poor example as that is a puzzle. I've never seen or heard of a wrap that bad on a quality product, it just wouldn't pass QC: Seen it in person on re-wrapped ####fire product though.

The image just gives me a bad feeling. They would have done better to buy a $100 digital camera with a macro feature and shot the real thing on their kitchen table than put that one up. I'd have to give them the benefit of the doubt on the product but the listing still has other major issues as you know.

One thing I noticed in the link from the OP is the size of the battery. He said that they told him it was a 900 mAh bit I don't think so. On the picture those are CE5 clearomizers and the battery is slightly taller than those. A real 900 mAh battery would be much taller. I believe that in fact they are only 650 mAh instead.

This is a very competitive business so I wouldn't deal with anyone that gets snarky with me.

I also wouldn't deal with a vendor who went snarky on other vendors.

The good vendors don't have to bad-mouth their competition, and besides, I like to deal with vendors/people who show some *class*.
