I just got some 2600mah batteries from touchy. Was going to go for the more expensive ones but after a chat with the man himself he advised the above.

Must say I'm impressed. They're lasting over two days of constant use.

Link to the batteries would be handy

ive gone for the nitecore i2 and the efest x4.
all from torchy.
i was touch and go with the nitecore but went for it in the end, im still using wp2 xtar which now will go as spare.
im off on me hols shortly so needed a spare, and the mvp as back up with the touchwood has second back up.
not sure what security will say now what with every item having to be charged up but will find out over the next few weeks, seems strange to me that with all the security you can get on a plane with ie: 4x 18500, 4x 18650 and an mpv which i imagine would cause major damage in the wrong hands yet i cant take a tin of coke!!!1
raggy.

You can use both mate.... i have more of those purple efests than i do the red AW,s ... i use them every other day in my Provari, there is no difference that i can see, ive been using them for just over a year now.. if you do want the red ones you can get them from exhale for the same price as the purple ones.. dont pay almost 8 quid for one battery that some vendors are charging... they are £4.99 each from exhale and you can use coupon code  AAEC   www.exhalecigarette.co.uk/aw-18350-700mah-imr-battery/

If that's a recent photo on exhale then I have to point out that AW battery is a FAKE!!

I dont know about the pic but how can you tell its a fake....if a store is gonna sell you fakes i dont think they would post a pic of it, they normally con you with a real pic..then send the fake ...lol...

I've got red efests in mine, and just recently bought from Torchy. His batteries seem very good and the price is right!

I'm afraid that the price for aw imr puts me off, that and fact many seem to be fakes. Id rather take my chances and just buy a decent imr

You can still buy decent batteries for cheap,or should i say  "cheaper", to be honest i very very rarley buy anything from vaping vendors, most are a rip off, loads of people dont seem to realize that a lot of the stuff we use was not created just for the vaping world... it exsisted before hand, for example those AW batteries, they were actually produced for high powered torches but then the vaping world gets its hands on them and  as if by magic they pretty much over night double in price ...lol...its the same with mesh, there are certain vendors selling mesh at a whopping £7.99 for an A4 sized sheet of it but if you look around away from the internet you can buy it for around £10.00 in roughly 3 meter x 100mm lengths....and dont start me off on the wire situation........lol..i might have to go on a rant ..haha.

Bought all my latest batteries from LEDfireTorches I find their batteries to be one of the cheapest - difficult part is finding them in stock!

I use TheMeshCompany and CrazyWire for wire and wick, mainly because prices are good and always in stock plus postage is very cheap

A quick read. Best to be safe. There's links to the right to the Authorised Dealer lists on that page too.

Don't have one sorry. He sells on eBay but they're 10% cheaper if you buy direct so I sent him a PM over on UKvapers.

Well now im confused ...lol  have 2 of these which i bought before i started my pricing war...lol.. (the war in my head lol)...  www.vapegear.co.uk/AW_18350_IMR_High_Drain_Battery/p1826719_8301204.aspx   pic shows black sticker but i have them with a silver sticker, however, my silver sticker has no hologram on it... Hmmmm.

[Ripshod]

I'm a stickler though. I'll only get the proper batteries from the proper dealers. Even my charger came straight from nitecore, I sent the other one back to china. You only get one pair.....

Don't let me frighten you, I do it enough to myself. Pep and others have a lot more experience than me

The other day I bought a couple of AW 18490 and an XTAR VP1 charger from www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/ - delivered next day.

[iLardyboy]

I found a good deal on eBay today for AW 18500's, so ordered 4 of them. It came to £23.50 for them, which I thought was cheap. I also managed to pick a Nitecore i4 for £15.89, from eBay also.

That's where I get mine, authorised dealer.

I fail to see the difference between the stickers on the exhale battery and the cloud9 battery

Exhale



Cloud9

That's probably a photo taken from elsewhere. All my AWs have the hologram sticker.

[geordie_vaper]

aw are overpriced especially for how long they have been out 8-9 quid for 1 battery
