manufacturer's differences?

[forthwith]

Hello there. About 2 months ago I happily received my 510 kit, a month later my 510 cartomizers, the kit I have is made by SLB and my cartos are Boge. I see for sale products marked 510 by the above companies as well as Bauway, Tecc, and Joye. I hear tell that Joye automatic batteries are overly sensitive. Are the Boge, Bauway, and SLB batteries the same?

My original joye attys were pretty nice, but my SLB attys blew way too soon to be affordable. I have not tried boge or bauway atties.. any good?

There is also a slight difference in diameter between my joye batteries and my boge cartomizers.. will a boge battery be the same diameter? The size difference is all right with me, but if I gave a 510 setup to say, my father in-law who REALLY needs to quit analogs, I would want everything to match and be streamlined.

Also, on certain websites, I see notes on Joye product like "If you live in UK or Korea do not order" and the only embargo I can find common between the UK and Korea is against Pakistan.. would this indicate Joye's manufacturer to be in Pakistan? What about Tecc, Bauway, Boge, and SLB(as in where are they made)?

If they are 510 all parts, chargers will fit (disposable chargers don't count ;-) I can only comment on SLB and Joye - I have not had good luck with SLB attys - the washer instead of metal mesh results in too dry of a coil and nasty taste unless you're dripping almost constantly. The reports on the SLB batteries were almost universally bad at the release of them and the so called L2 kits. Buttons were falling off - something that rarely happens with Joye batts.

Those notes are almost always about distribution agreements where only country X distributors can sell to retailers or customers in that country.
