Ended Smoktech giveaway! 250 Cloud Machines to win...

[cindycated]

They only give the credit twords gear not juice... And I really only get juice from them. Everything else is just too over priced... $16 for one of those batteries. $18 for 2 off amazon.

And their juice is about on par with online retailers. So that's was the main reason I went to them other than the fact that they are a walking distance from my house.

But the fact that they sell stuff they know are going to kids and kinda duped me (by saying these were Orig VTC5's) makes me only want to go if no other option is available... Like "last place on earth" situation.

But oh well, kinda my fault for not checking the batteries before I left.

Live and learn.

Hmmm, maybe don't get batteries from Amazon. Just a few pages back, somebody said their batts were fakes from there. Get them from Illumn, RTS and just a handful more that are trusted sources. You'd be set if you decide to get into DIY - then you wouldn't have to rely on those guys for anything...unless they let you play with their new gear.

But like I said, you've got them in your hand right now!

man - you gotta check out illumn.com for batteries, brother - not only do they kill amazon's prices, their products and service are great

Agreed, Illumn are great for batteries.

Have a Magnifying glass?
Take a close look at the Square seal. If it is Dot matrix = fake
Real has a distinct pattern of hex shapes, some with open circle centers.

VTC5's are also still available and have been back in production for the industrial sector.
Orbtronic is an authorized seller and I have purchased/verified.

Wish people would keep up to date.
Sony moved their facility and had to completely retool - takes months.
Industry catch up orders go first, then wholesale suppliers to commercial retail.

Sony Never sold the batteries as a Consumer level product. Suppliers do that.
They are still(authentic) in short supply due to popularity and waiting customers. Stock will eventually settle.

Looking like fake then huh?

Come to think of it, I can't imagine why anyone would keep charged batts "for customers", since they discharge on their own anyway...

Oh I already decided to DIY, it's just a startup cost thing right now... Once I make a few extra bucks, I'm going all out!

Rooting for you though!

Hello night crew

 

[USMCotaku]

I would, agree...never buy batteries off of amazon. You never know what you will get.

If you really really want to know definitively, remove the wrap, the metal underneath will be printed as well (if real), but you will have to rewrap before using
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

And.... Goodnight! :zzz

They have 4 or so D2's with batts in them for customers that get a whole setup and want to vape "out the door" they keep them stocked for customers... Which I think is kinda smart/cool
