Better off buying batteries from a local known shop... Don't trust amazon for my batteries.

Trust me, I would've gladly bought batteries in person but my only local shop charges $80 for two 18650s and a nitecore charger... Not a chance in hell I'm paying that and I'm glad I didn't

I hate the way this turned out and you may have very well stumbled onto a great site for batteries. It takes a while to become a trusted supplier and I think that's what started the whole thing. You said amazon and that triggered the whole thing. If you would have posted there regular site first everybody would have said great find. There just new to everybody. As far as illumn goes they are pretty straight up and I know you didn't dispute that. You have to admit that there price on chargers is really hard to beat. The whole amazon-ebay thing is because so many people have been burned in the past. There is a difference with the places that have stores on there and regular stores. Even fat daddy vapes has a ebay store. Im glad you posted it and I bookmarked it for future business. I hope they turn out to be a great find

All that, and the OP's overemphasis on CHEAPER THAN ANYONE has led many people down that garden path of "cheap at any price!" - only to return here and ..... about their e-cig this, that or the other thing bought only on the basis of "Where can I get the cheapest possible price on a..." turning out to be nothing but a piece of garbage. I already know awesome places to buy batteries and shaving 80 cents off the price of a battery doesn't factor in to my buying decisions. "Awesome" and "New" don't always go hand in hand - for e-cig gear as with many other things in life. :2c:

Just to chime in on the ebay stores side of this rapidly devolving conversation: I get my AW batteries off an ebay store because they ship out of Fort Worth so I get my batteries in a day or two, the seller is highly trusted in electronic gear, and the price is very fair.

I have to agree ebay and amazon Stores can be good places to get gear. I know some people have been burned by both un-trusted and un-established sellers, but if you are careful you can find good sellers on them. Personally I have a lot more reservations buying from a warehouse in China, but thats because I was burned by those kind of sites when buying things for previous hobbies.

To the OP: Thanks for the find. I'll bookmark it for the future.

I think your problem lies in thinking I wrote this for YOU. I don't care I'd youu already have somewhere to buy batteries. If you do then why open this thread? Too feed your unfortunate craving to speak out because someone doesn't shop where you like? Yeah, similar to juvenile girls getting mad because jenny shops at gap not hollister. There are thousands of forums you probably couldve got something out of or contributed to. If you don't need a new place for batteries probably dont click the title about batteries.

Narcissism and forums don't go hand and hand either.
