The other day when I was having trouble with a protank mini coil I thought maybe I needed a better battery so I went on ebay and placed a bid on a vision spinner 1300mah, that was before you guys helped me and I figured out the coil on the tank was busted. Anyway, I won the ebay auction and the battery arrived this morning. It looks ok, feels really really light which I'm surprised about because its twice the size of my smaller ego batteries and lighter. It has the vision spinner logo on the side near the bottom, an etched logo underneath the nob thing, the nob turns smoothly without any clicks, the power button is clear and circular. It didn't come in a branded box, just an envelope. It appears to be working fine and there is a noticeable different in vapor/flavour output when changing the voltage..but I just don't know..is it real or fake do you think? Only cost me £8 purchased from a bidding auction. This is the seller I bought it from: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/pricematchuk1

See if you can get to a vape shop and compare with the real thing. Any differences at all you should bring it to the attention of ebay, not the seller.

I did check feedback, over 2800 sales in 12 months and she only has 13 negative feedback which is a pretty good score. I did see that some of the neg feedback said the items were fake but its hard to tell because she has so much positive feedback from selling vape gear. :\
I don't think I have any shops around here that sells them but I'll have a look next time I'm out in town.
I'll let you know how the battery holds up, I've fully charged it and been using it for the past 2-3 hours and compared to my smaller ego's this battery should last me a day or two on a single charge..we'll see.

Don't forget. Don't leave it on charge if you are not around. Don't leave it on charge over night.
There are a lot of fame spinners around. There is a thread about it on here somewhere that tells you how to spot a take.
God luck with your vapeing

My simple rule of thumb - buy from known, reputable vendors, especially safety critical stuff like batteries, chargers and juice.

Although under their neutral feedback:
Not original Kangertech brand per listing Buyer: e***8 ( 427Teal star icon for Feedback score between 100 to 499) 30-Apr-14 19:10 Feedback conversation
Reply by pricematchuk1 (28-May-14 14:55): WHERE DOES IT SAY KANGERTECH?
EVOD 1100 MAH VARIABLE VOLT BATTERY BLACK (#221402814546) £4.20 View Item EVOD 1100 MAH VARIABLE VOLT BATTERY BLACK
As battery clearly says Evod, which is a Kanger trademark, I'd say either dicey vendor, or stupid.
