Looking for the best batteries

[Baditude]

A link would have been appreciated. You always run the risk of purchasing counterfeit batteries from Amazon or Ebay. $40 is a good price, but for a few bucks more you could purchase them from someone like RTD Vapor and rest assured you are getting authentic AW's.

I'm leery of buying batts from Ebay. Keep an eye on Vapor Joes- It's a dead deal but recently had the same batts for $10.80 each+ free shipping.
Vapor Joes - Daily Vaping Deals: AW IMR 18650 2000mAH - $10.80 FREE SHIPPING

Some will rewrap old or substandard batteries and sell them as new.

Little AW sticker on them lol
I'm new at Vaping but a Ebay veteran lol . I got some AWs off that buyer and they are the same as the AWs that came with my ProVari.
I think a person takes a chance any time they buy stuff, online or not online. Any one can sell counterfeit or re-packaged bad merchandise.
And seeing that I am new to Vaping, I try to see what is said here about stuff and what most people use and I try to get the same stuff from the same place you guys got.

Like now I am looking at a Nitecore IntelliCharger i4 Battery Charger - 2nd Generation on Amazon for $18.67

just because Vapoor eyes er said he uses a Nitecore i2 charger. I trust his opinion on the Charger he uses. Mine came with my ProVari and looks kind of cheap to me.

In all fairness if you've dealt before with this Ebay Vendor and have been happy then that's a diff story. Same scenario- I've ordered many items from 2 diff Vendors located in China and have been VERY pleased with all my orders. A friend ordered from a diff well known Vendor located in China and for 3 months it was a hellish nightmare for him in trying to get his defective Vamo replaced. It's unfair of me, because of his bad experience, that I label ALL Chinese based Vendors as lacking in biz ethics.

Thanks Vapoor, yes, I know of the Naked Vapour site and to be honest, its a rip off with those prices hence not buying from them. If I am really desperate and have no choice, I would have to.

Could you please tell me which other Chinese vendors there are out there besides Fast Tech? Fast Tech is in serious trouble now with their shipping issues

I am currently using AW 18490 1100mah battery...

and this may sound like a stupid question but what model panasonic battery would i need to buy to fit my device?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Unfortunately all batteries being exported from China are being watched closely. There's a couple of Vendors but they sell low quality batts and chargers.
Reputable with quality batts:
Heaven Gifts Electronic Cigarettes eCigarettes eLiquids eJuices -

Has anybody bought aw batteries from lighthound? Saw the site mentioned in the candlepower forums. Bought 2 aw 1600 mah batteries. Was just curious if anyone has dealt with them before.
