For that price you'd be able to buy Sony/Samsung/lg from Wholesale Li-ion Batteries for Vaping, Flashlights | Liion Wholesale
No deal.
Batteries are the very last place to try to save money in vaping.
No telling what is actually under the wrap.

If they aren't on Mooch's chart, I wouldn't use them. Period. You have no idea what is really underneath.
I agree with the previous posters - no deal. Not only is it not much of a deal in the first place, it's absolutely not worth the risk. The CDR might be 20 A, or it might be 300 mA. They might be rewrapped batteries from a reputable maker, or they might be from a Chinese factory with no quality control. You might wind up with batteries that work. Or batteries that don't work. Or batteries that blow up your mod, you and your surroundings. Why find out when it's so easy to get something reliable?
Nope, no thanks. Too many horror stories out there, and they all seem to lead back to the batteries at some point or another. It's the one place I simply will not skimp on, even though I don't use mech mods.
I wouldn't do it. I buy only from reputable vendors and only name brand. The problem with rewraps is you never know what you're getting. They might be good batteries. Or not. They might even be different, so quality will vary within lot numbers. I just don't risk it. Batteries are cheap compared to faces.
Ok. Thanks everyone. I kind of knew the answer already, just needed the confirmation to get me to keep looking. Found some LG HG2 3000mah 20A
for $2.59 ea when buying 10. Can never have too many batteries.
Thanks again guys.

Another reason I like to buy from the bigger recommended companies is they have more turn over of stock.
Batteries begin to degrade as soon as they're made. You never know how long they've been sitting on the shelf.

Sure you can. They degrade from age in storage, even if you're not using them.
Buy what you need from a trusted US vendor.
You do understand there are many many sources of counterfeit cells. There are more counterfeit sold through ' bargain ' sites than authentic.
No telling what you'll receive unless you deal with a recommended reputable vendor.
The very last place to try to save a few dollars in vaping is the cells we use.
Stick with one of the recommended suppliers on mooch's list.
I gave the link to where I purchase cells in my previous response.

Moved to Batteries and Chargers from General Vaping Discussion.
Always buy known batteries from a TRUSTED source.
Those 'tootsie roll' batteries should be about $6 each...
If a battery is really cheap - it's probably really counterfeit - and dangerous to use.
Of all things, never cheap out on a battery.

The higher the wattage you use, the more important high quality high amperage batteries become. Better to err on the side of safety.
