    I'll give you an example of how false the economy of cheaper batteries is. The difference in price between an Efest IMR 18650 (which is a pretty fair battery) and an AW IMR 18650 works out to about 0.005 cents/day over the life of the battery. So there really isn't any meaningful savings between a 9$ battery over a 12$ battery.

    I'm old school on this, and still buy mine from Super T Manufacturing for the simple reason that I know and trust them.

    THAT'S what I was looking for, a TRIED AND TRUE, TRUSTED source!

    and I didn't say to buy from ebay I was talking about R&Lsales
    Amazon.com At a Glance: R-lsales
    Well Amazon came in second for counterfeit batts, but do whatever you want, I only buy batts from RTD Vapor, Lighthound or Super T Manufacturing and I don't have to worry about counterfeit batts.

    In this sense, Amazon is the same as Ebay. They're only selling for other companies, granted they work differently but the basics are the same. I understood what douglasp was saying and I hope everyone else does too. :vapor:
