Review Fogstar.co.uk

https://www.fogstar.co.uk/
These are my opinions and have not been influenced I am sad to say by any bribery,corruption or prostitution.

@Ben fogstar is pretty new on here and retails only batteries and selected chargers. I came across him the other night and was attracted by the very keen prices so I perused the site.
My main concern is authenticity when buying cells. The market has been flooded in recent times with fake cells, particularly in the two cells I have been trying to purchase recently, VTC5 and HG2.
In the FAQ on the site you see this:
"All of the products we sell are 100% Genuine. We only obtain our batteries through trusted channels, after which the batteries are batch tested before they are available for sale. We are proud of our reputation and go to great lengths to protect it."
Reassuring words in an interwebb which is swamped with dodgy "1:1" and "like" type cells.

The site is very user friendly, prices are very attractive and offer extra discount for multiple purchases.
There is a large selection of batteries in different sizes and brands in an easy to navigate format.
I purchased 2x VTC5 and 2xHG2 with a quick Paypal checkout option,receiving a confirmation Email straight away and another Email on dispatch.
They aim to send 90% of orders by the next day and I have no reason to doubt that as mine arrived the next working day, well packaged and in sealed battery boxes with their logo on.
The cells arrive with a sticker on indicating brand, MAH, V and even a + and - . As an added bonus this label has extra room and can be written on for you to add a date and number if you should so wish to keep married pairs.

There is a contact us page on the site for questions etc which I tested their response. I sent a question at 07:30 am this morning, well before social hours and I was very pleased to get an answer at 08:19 less than 40 minutes later.

So all in all a very promising start, cells that I struggle to find in original format at a great price and speedy delivery..
Thank you Ben...

@Ben fogstar , can i make a suggestion for the website?

I've seen a few questions lately on here about which battery to buy for X mod and so on, mostly by newbies. Might i suggest showing the batteries in groups? i.e. Low Drain, Sub-ohm, and High Drain?
Most mod manufacturers will state things like "High-drain battery required", however, for a complete noob to these for of things, just looking at the vast selection available, might seem confusing which battery to actually choose. If they were in groups, it might help make their selection a little easier

Thanks for the suggestion richierich, we've got loads of new batteries on the way and it will just look like a sea of batteries This wont take long to implement at all - I'll get on it

Nice one! I spotted the filter on the side of the page, but i think it might still be confusing for a noob lol
