theres a code on the side of my battery under the shrink wrap can anyone tell me what it means or where I can track down the meaning? is it a model number or serial number? I would love to find out. its an AW 18500 but I ve been told they don't make 18500's and its counterfeit so Id like to know what 14ao2 or 14a02 means. I was told I could sub ohm this battery and that AW was a good brand by my local shop they run the same batteries in there mods and go as low as.25 with them no problem Ive gone as low as .3 and vaped it all day and it didn't even get warm so any help would be appreciated I was told like I said that it was counterfeit by someone on ECF want a second opinion.

Actually... AW does make an 18500. But it is an ICR and Not an IMR.

Here is something Interesting.

2 PC AW IMR 18500 Li MN 1100mAh Clone High Drain Rechargeable 3 7V B Top | eBay

At Least the Seller was Honest. And said they were a "Clone" in his auction.

Ya lol passed right over those AW blacks-- thanks, they are definitely not subohm capable.

Vaping a .3 ohm is definitely not recommended in any way shape or form with a clone battery. Your gonna short it eventually. Batteries do not have the, "I can buy a clone and get a great battery," it does not work that way.
