Are you done stocking up?

Several times Always during a flash sale

And they were good quality ? Did the shipping take forever ? I am in no hurry to get them, but my batteries are 3 years old and probably time for new ones, I have 15 in rotation and never let them go below 3.6 volts and usually recharge at 3.8 v.

Has anyone ordered batteries from gearbest, I usually order from Orbtronics but Gearbest has killer sale right now. Thanks.

i recently got a very similar deal on amazon.

Amazon.com: 4 LG HE2 18650 2500mAh 35A 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Batteries: Electronics

batteries are one item I'll only order from a flashlight supply source like illumn.com. I don't trust ebay or even amazon.

You can get genuine lg hg2's 3000mah for 6 bucks each and when you buy them in multiples they package them in battery cases.

A favorite trusted vendor stateside is your best bet, IMO.

I am the same way, have wanted to order off Amazon but have always heard this advice and never oredered from there or fastec. I just saw that sale and placed my order thinking they were the case making company in the US called gear something. Oh well I will let you guys know how it turns out I guess.

Ecig also has a new coil-less tank.. Expensive it is.....very.
ALTUS T1 TANK BY GUO | COIL-LESS CVU VAPE TANK

Thanks for posting this. I almost bought the first version yesterday on clearance. So glad I waited, got the T1 today. Worth a few bucks more to have top fill. If I like it, I really should sell all the coils and misc tanks/attys I have accumulated.

After the 8th, can Provape issue an up date to their software?

I would think they only could for the international market.

Hey guys.. I have a moral dilemma question. I got a bottle of free e juice from a new vendor - one of the new big business types, simply because of how they advertised themselves I wanted to try one of their flavors, figured if it was very good I would later copy it in diy. It's just a basic flavor, chocolate cake.

Now, at the time they gave me the bottle, they asked me to review it.. I didn't have a problem with that because an honest review is an honest review. That said, here is the problem.

They asked that I pay for my shipping, which was high. 2.70 for a bottle of juice . Definitely high. I was provided no tracking information, just told it shipped.. for 2.70 I should have gotten tracking, but okay.

They didn't take great care in shipping, which I am very used to in my juice vendors, and the bottle arrived with a broken seal and 25% leaked all over the bag it shipped in.. okay.

When you smell it, it doesn't have hardly a note of chocolate in the smell.. I would have pegged it as a vanilla cake.. going by smell.

I haven't tasted it yet. I will.. but is it morally right not to have even one good thing to say? At this point I am doubtful ill be able to say anything nice.. usually you say what is both good and bad.. but what if I taste this and it's all bad..

Heck at this point prior to tasting it about all I have to say is don't waste your money.

Should I just avoid giving a review? Or do I just give my honest opinion, even if I can't say anything good?

Ditto about eBay and Amazon. I have seen too many complaints about counterfeits from both sources. Not batteries specifically, but then I've not looked at batteries at either place. I have seen complaints about things you'd never think anyone would bother to counterfeit, but there it is. And I think batteries would be something they would bother with.

I would give honest review, I feel I owe peers honesty more than business.

But now that I realized these will be coming from the country that actually is making these batteries, maybe worth a try ?

I would contact them about it and see how they handle it. Then you can review the juice and their customer service.

They wanted a review. I would give them one. If they were set on a good review, they should have taken more care, IMO. If you don't want to actually try it, don't just for the review. You could just say you didn't want to try it because of the condition it came in. Or if you do want to try it, do that and see. Maybe it will be good enough that you can add something positive.


eta: good advice, to contact them first. Maybe they will make good on it, and that will be another positive.

My biggest beef with Provape is having to send the unit to them or find a dealer for upgrades. Why can't they just put firmware upgrades on a key like comes with the P3 and mail it to you?

i used the vaping reviewers on amazon to select a battery... these had a lot of positive reviews. its hard to find some stuff shipped asap (got a free cheap case with them too,, that i needed).. batteries have been just fine for me.-i will order again.

Is this the giveaway on ecf by chance? If so, I haven't received mine yet but just because they asked for a review doesn't mean I have to give them one. That said, if I do a review, it will be an honest one, bad and/or good.

Give an honest review. You are only out 3 bucks, but I would be ticked if I spent 20+ (assuming it is a premium juice) plus shipping to get a bag of liquid and a half-empty bottle. If this company was trying to build feedback, they should have gone above and beyond to make sure you had a great experience. Leaky packages are bad for the shipping company too, especially if nic is getting all over the other packages and on the delivery driver's hands.

If you like the juice after tasting, you can still say it was good, but the shipping was poor.

Yes.. it's that one. Got mine today...

I don't even trust most B&M's for batteries unless i know what source they are getting them from , counterfeits are EVERYWHERE & you get peace of mind ordering from sites like Illum, Imr batteries.com etc..

E Bay is without question the worst place on the planet to buy batteries from.

Yes they are and yes they will. My battery orders from GB took at least 45 days to arrive after shipment but the price was well worth the wait
