Since Liionwholesale and I think even IMRbatteries (and maybe even other retailers) are dumping their stock of LG batts due to LG Chem making a stink about consumers (and particularly vapers) using their OEM batteries, what is the future going to look like for vapers who use 18650/21700 mods?
If these cell retailers are forced or feel compelled to stop carrying all brands of OEM batts, how will this affect vapers?
And what about rewraps? Is this part of the industry in danger in any way? Will battery manufacturers be reluctant to sell batteries to companies that rewrap them for consumer use (be it vaping, flashlights, etc.)?
I was hoping that @Mooch could chime in here. I know you bench test batteries, but surely you must have some information you've gathered in your dealings with companies in this industry.
BTW: I don't mean this thread to be an LG bashing thread.
