Since my post yesterday I've had people inquiring about the Fogstar batteries in my trusty (beaten up) old Wismec.
Every now and then a customer or colleague will bring up the idea of a Fogstar battery and say how awesome it'd be. However, re-wraps have a lot of hate (especially a certain purple variety) and to put my company in the firing line - I really didn't want that kind of bad press. As a fellow vaper, I too understand the negativity surrounding them - a company comes along, buys factory inferior batteries, re-wraps them and then brands them with a logo and sometimes an amp rating they seem to have conjured out of thin air. This is dangerous and irresponsible - and can not just cause injuries but can be used as ammunition against our right to vape causes.
For us to fully commit to this project, and invest a significant amount of money in it - We had to be sure we could offer something above the norm. A benefit to the re-wrap if you will :
Accurate Amp Ratings - We will never conjure up an amp rating - all amp ratings will be tried and tested. While this may put us at a disadvantage against other batteries (as we cant compete with their inflated specs) - a battery is only capable of what its capable of - end of.
Individual Battery Testing - We will test EVERY battery that we sell. 2 soft checks (as to not damage the battery) A capacity check, and a discharge at the max discharge rating. This is a massive undertaking, as its around 12 hours per battery. This way we can be sure that every single battery we sell - will give the performance that it promises.
Quality Wrap - Theres no point re-wrapping in a material too thick that the batteries dont fit in certain mods. So we put alot of research into a hard wearing wrap - thats not too thick to be functional.
Grade 'A' batteries - We will NEVER wrap reject batteries from a B bin or a C bin - all of our batteries will be grade A
Cell Dates - All batteries we offer will be good dates - as we've always offered through our website.
Extended Warranty - We will offer customers their money back if they are not pleased with the performance of their battery, no questions asked for a full 30 days.
5% of all profits to NNA - As we are not a nicotine distributor we can help support the vapers fight by offering 5% of all profits to the National Niccotine Alliance.
UK Sources - Wraps, Boxes, Stickers and everything except the main cell will be sourced from local UK businesses.
The first release of these batteries will be a 3500mAh cell - in the next couple of weeks or so, and we will work our way down to batteries with higher ampage in the near future.
