Jeez, way to cast doubt on and smear the reputation of one of the pioneers of 'safer' vaping batteries. Someone that has done more for battery saftey as it relates to our use than anyone else I can think of.
Long before Mooch there was AW, but as folks do, few listened & many ignored and ridiculed the 'saftey police'.
The most frequently 'cloned' batteries are and have been for years the sony vtc4, vtc5 & Lghg2 to a lesser extent the Samsung blue wrap 25r.
None of these manufactures have done a single thing to prevent or lessen the likelihood of an end consumer getting their hands on a fake cell. The above fake/clone cells are widely distributed today.
That's why most folks suggest buying cells only from reputable vendors.
AW almost immediately after becoming aware of the fake / clone cells with their name on them put anti counterfeiting measures in place.
This was several years ago.
They made several public statements sharing those measures & advising all customers to only buy from authorized AW re sellers / vendors.
That is why I recommend --->
