@Mooch Perhaps in your place yes they may still be selling the genuine ones. But not in our land over here. Most of the batts brought in are only recent and yes i have personally noticed that they are Efest rewrapped.

Sad, Epic....:cry:

You folks have to be on the lookout for everything from counterfeits to the law...:unsure:

@inspects Yeah I mean this place is really a great place to be in. I love it here, but the fact that they ban us from vapes just because of the reason that it burns their cigarette industry is really disappointing. I love the place, disappointed by certain people who are overseeing certain laws.

    What about e fest? Are they reliable?

    I don't consider any battery that uses cells of unknown origin and grade and exaggerates its ratings to be reliable. Most seem to be 20A but one of them, I've forgotten which (haven't tested it), is only 10A IIRC. Can they still be used, of course. But you can get the same, or better, performance for less money by picking a Samsung, Sony, or LG battery. IMHO, there's no reason to buy Efests unless the wrapper color is your favorite. :)

    Never said they were lemons. :)
    While they blatantly exaggerate their ratings, most Efests are ok 20A batteries. If you use them as such, you should be fine. They can use a different cell at any time though, or lower grade cells that won't last very long. When you can buy better batteries from Samsung, Sony, or LG, at a lower price, I don't see many practical reasons for buying Efests.

    New to v@ping, just picked up some 25R V2 "MINI HULK" batteries because I do not trust these batteries that came with the mod.

    I am curious to know what the general consensus is here with regards to chargers.. currently looking at

    Xtar XP4 Hybrid Panzer

    Xtar VC4 USB Hybrid Charger


    Nitecore Digicharger Hybrid D4

    It is paramount to have a good charger because I am still serving my 2 years in this glorious FINE city, albeit I only have 6 weeks left in my contract.
