Been vaping for 4 years, been on the forum for...oh hang on i'm out. ***EDIT AFTER THE ABOVE COMMENT*** OP JAC Vapour would be better choosing people that already use these type of batteries rather than randoms that might just sling them on ebay? Can i suggest that all potential reviewers are made to post a photo with a dedicated number (written on a piece of paper) included to ensure that it isn't a photo swiped off the net with the batteries that they are currently using as the main subject? Op can then decide who would made worthy reviewers? Why would someone sling two batteries recieved for review on ebay? For the obvious reason?

After camping for a week once and trying to keep vaping with cigalikes charging in the car (had to supplement with stinkies) I always have more batteries than devices and fast chargers, safer, never have to find time to charge my batteries, can go away for a week and charge from the car and less risk of going without a vape. But, I think you are pricing yourselves out of the market JAC Vapour TBH. *-SARIN-* I think they covered chancers by asking for 6 month+ members, they only need to search for posts they made with "batter" in to get a quick idea if they are suitable.

I do agree with *-SARIN-*'s view, some would no matter how we like to think of them. However, JAC Vapour has shown some common sense in his approach to this. Although the vetting could have gone a lot further, on this forum with it's established membership there really was no need. ^^^^^^^^^ MY OPINION ONLY

Way too expensive JAC Vapour for the imr's i would expect to pay your price for 2 batteries on current average prices across other UK vendors I totally agree!

Those prices are upto twice what you could buy a 25r or VTC4 in the UK for. I wouldn't review regardless of them being free as I already know I couldn't recommend them to forum members given the inflated price. If they were cheaper than the aforementioned then I can see value in reviews, as it stands there's none IMO.

I'm not a regular purchaser of batteries, although I have a pitiful 6 x 18650s (I'm almost embarrassed to admit this having seen VapingBad's stash!), but if I were in the market for a PAIR of replacements, I would expect to pay in the region of maximum £15 for something with a CD of circa 20A. These prices are way above that, and the rationale that the prices drop considerably when bundled with a new mod do the vendor no favours IMHO. I don't predict a huge sale of these items unless the price is dropped quite a lot! This is also my PERSONAL OPINION ^^^

Excuse my ignorance in advance. My understanding here is these batteries, as yet are unproven hence the reason freebies for review ? If this is the case, then it would have to be members with proper battery testing equipment, i.e. VapingBad, Ripshod etc to give accurate results. Seems a sore price for an unproven product or have I got the wrong end of the stick here.

No, too expensive, say I liked the 20 A one, I probably would, I would have to say just buy a 25R or other re-wrapped 25R like the AWT instead.And I don't have all the equipment.
