It was a tough decision but we have decided to no longer restock Efest, as we feel the Efest brand doesn't represent how we feel about battery safety.
We began stocking Efest about 6 months ago when they released their new metallic packaging and they finally listened to customers and importers about the dangers of not listing maximum current discharge, and continuous discharge separately.
Before this, they took the higher max. discharge value and printed it just as 'Discharging current' knowingly or unknowingly. The less educated of us and newer vapers would obviously see it as the continuous rating. However, even this max discharge figure was sometimes just total BS.
Things have slowly got better, however they aren't perfect. And Efest regularly swap and change cells depending on what they can get the cheapest without any warning or notification.
I personally feel our funds can be used elsewhere - like adding our 26650 selection, producing Fogstar cells and generally just expanding the shop, and building on the success of the last 6 months.
I have set up a special offer to several vape shop customers who stock Efest exclusively (They actually exist) and once sold out, they wont return.
Thanks Apes!
