Batteries here choose the samsung 25r or LG2. Both of these prices are with free shipping/postage. Boldvape also have the charger for the same price.

Just looked at the linked ebay sales. Two batteries + charger and plug £4.75 and four batteries for £3.75, both with free postage.

Easy to see why people buy these

Quick battery question. I purchased "2x 18650 Battery + GTF Charger Apply to Headlight with Flashlight 4200mAh H3" from eBay. The both battery are branded with the name "Shixe" any views on these or experience?

I was flat broke and only had a fiver so I purchased as temporary batteries. The original listing on eBay.

I am currently using them in my Kangetech 60W drip box and they drain down really, really fast. God knows why? Are all 18650 batteries you can buy regardless of where purchased high drain or not? Unsure?

Since then I have replaced them with "2/4X High Drain Rechargeable Battery 18650 35A 3.7v LI-MN 2500mAh Button Top RT" Original eBay listing.

Oddly they are not advertised as efest however contain the efest logo or somewhat efest logo in parts from memory? I hope they are efests put it that way.

Anyone had any experience with these purple batteries "2/4X High Drain Rechargeable Battery 18650 35A 3.7v LI-MN 2500mAh Button Top RT"

Any advice or reviews would be great guys and gals! Thanks in advance.

I think they've replaced the T with a X on the branding.

Very good! Think it was the flattening process to get them to fit inside the phone that did it ...

Thanks for all you advice guys. Getting my wages on Thursday so can replace all the batteries this Thursday. Will look at spending some serious income on decent gear. Sold my last Sony VTC4's with my RX200 you see so had no choice. Needed batteries asap. Will think a bit more next time round. I guess I could use those cheap batteries in my Ohm's reader perhaps? Either way won't be vaping with them from Thursday.

Massive thanks to one and all once again!
