If you're thinking of importing batteries from outside the EU to sell, you effectively take on all the responsibilities as the manufacturer. You must do your due diligence....check that CE certificates are genuine, get batteries independently safety tested in the UK. Get some decent, ecig/ battery specific product liability insurance.
We have recently sent samples of the Aspire CF range of batteries for testing. Order samples first and use and abuse them. Kanger, Innokin, Vision and Aspire are a good start. It's always nice to support home grown products, and there are some fantastic mod makers in the uk.

I am currently using and abusing the whole range of Aspire CF batteries.

They are rather weighty batteries, but feel very solid and well made. I used to be impressed by Evod batteries, but these are in a different league. The floating pin seems to work fine. The power button is nice and big. It's just a little hard to feel on the VV+. I'm very impressed so far!

In my opinion, the silver one looks best. It's virtually holographic.

Hi, @romney.

Would you consider putting this juice up for sale if you don't find a trade?

Location, location, location!

Secondly, have the best, most knowledgable staff possible.

Will you import batteries from outside the EU? If so, you effectively become the 'manufacturer' so you will need product liability insurance, and test products in the Uk and do your due diligence. Buying from a UK wholesaler is easiest, but you will pay more as someone else is taking on all the risk/responsibility/import duty!

It's hard work, in the responsibility sense, and you never really switch off, but on a day to day level, it isn't 'work' its so much fun. If I could give up my day job and work in a vape shop full time, I certainly would. Vapers are the best people ever.

Be proud of the products and juices you sell.

Make yourself unique and different from other shops. Stock something exclusive.

All the best.

And here is the new Kanger mod. So new it doesn't have a name. SS, VW, 18650, 510 thread. Will be in full production in 3-4 weeks.

All has been revealed... The EMUS is a 500 mAh evod battery and matching evod tank. It's just a little slimmer than the regular evod. The coils are tiny! However, its 510 thread, rather than ego. Only available in black and silver at the mo, in a mixed kit. Despite lots of persuasion, Kanger couldn't sell me one because they were only for show and trial. I can see it being popular with the ladies, especially if they make it in other colours in the future. I have posted a pic in the Hampshire Vapers fb group if you'd like to take a look. Admittedly, its not very different, just cute!
