Batteries on eBay?

Ive bought bats from ebay once. soon as I began regularly using them they began doing strange things.
I was using them in an unregulated mech mod. They routinely would not fire when they metered full charge.
I would put them on the charger and they would say full charge, but would not fire.
If I could get one to work, I'd use it till it got low, put it on the charger and it would say full charge.
I contacted the ebay vendor to tell him that I was using them in e-cigs and he asked me to return them.
so please be careful with ebay vendors for batteries. our e-cigs have HIGH drain loads.
you cannot afford to buy batteries from some ....... thats selling old batteries to people that buy for their remotes. It can be dangerous. But, if you can contact the seller and tell him what you are using them for, if hes a decent person, he'll send you good batteries. My 2cents.

Haven't ordered from EBay but have found many great deals @ Vapor Joes - Daily Vaping Deals
He mentions a Vapor Joes - Daily Vaping Deals: LOW: 1300mAh ego battery - $7.08
Haven't ordered PVs from them but got a bunch of Panasonic batts for my Mods at 1/2 price and am very pleased.

That's a good question. But just to be on the safe side, I only order from vendors that are well known and have an established reputation of the positive variety. To me, at least, paying an extra buck or three here and there is worth the peace of mind. I have seen them on ebay though, and wondered the same thing.
Just remember no guarantees but Vapor Joe has been pretty good about finding some great vendors and prices.
Batteries from fasttech is the place to go. I have their panasonic's and the prices are great, shipping was free and fast, and they came in a nice little plastic case.
How long does it usually take to get them? I saw the panasonics there.
My suggestion would be to buy quality batteries from a reputable vendor. From what I hear there are a lot of knock off AW IMRs out there. I wouldn't want a battery of questionable quality in one of my mods.
This. Being new, I worry enough about the battery safety issue without having to add on the extra worry of unknown/unreliable sources.
I read a post a few days ago from someone who said they received their stuff in 11 days. Oh...I'm assuming you mean FastTech?
Don't be fooled by - Buy from a reputable Vender. At least one REPUTABLE Vender sells EH batteries(JUNK!!)
Don't pass up a decent deal off Ebay on a name brand battery from an in country supplier out of fearful opinions.
Picked up several decent batteries from Venders/Ebay/Amazon this year. Fasttech is also working to build a strong reputation is you can wait on shipping.
Even under the best of circumstance's you can get a Dud.

Mine took ten days from order being placed to mailbox. I ordered some panasonic ncr18650pd's and already had cgr18650ch's, I get a few more hours out of my PD's. Just in case anyone was interested in those batteries.
i seen some insane battery deals, but some of them are shady batteries, and someone told me alot of the china ones are knock offs
I've always spend a little more to get the AW IMR batteries. I have been using batteries that I bought in 12/2012 and they are going strong without having any problems with them. I would rather spend a few extra $'s for good quality batteries.

There is an Old Saying...
"If Something is Too Good To Be True. It Probably Is."
I have had Extremely Bad Experiences with buying Batteries on e-Bay. Rewrapped Batteries from sellers who know less about Batteries than I do.
I'll spend a Dollar Two Ninety Eight more and buy my Rechargeable from Someone like Super T who has a Great Track Record.
Be wary of where you get batteries from. I have been bitten by the bait and switch from a vendor. I paid top dollar for a premium brand name battery and when I opened the mailorder package I discovered I was sent knockoffs because there was no manufacturers logo on them and thats the dead giveaway you recieved knockoffs. If you've used brand name batteries then you will notice the differences in quality, holding charge and vaping power of a knockoff.
I just loaded the app on my phone! Thanks for the great tip!
Me too! What a fun app to have on my phone!
