I just recently purchased one of these at my local vape store because i was in need of a charger immediately, but this is the only charger they had. I asked the guy if these are legit because i have never even heard of this brand and he just said "we sell a lot of them". So i am hoping this is a good enough charger for emergencies. i dont plan to use it all the time, but i dont want it messing up my batteries or anything (I have a pair of Samsung 25 Rs). I have searched every where for some kind of review, but i am not finding anything. Anyone else heard of this charger?

Haven't heard of the charger, but their marketing of batteries is suspect at best.

As a backup, there probably isn't much to worry about as long as you keep an eye on it while you're charging batteries. It's definitely not one I'd leave unattended for any length of time.

Never heard of it. That said, I have two 2-bay off brand chargers I purchased the same way: dead batteries in a vapemergency, and no charger. Keep an eye on it while you use it, and buy a Nitecore or an Xtar when you can to replace it. Then convert it to emergency backup, or throw in the travel bag.
