    They were bought from one of or Forum vendors, I think, but being as old as I am, the memory gets a bit fuzzy.

    ^^^ They definitely aren't genuine AW batteries.

    I feel a lot better now-phew.
    Are the 'Real mcCoy' that hard to source?? And, more importantly, are they that much better than ALL the competition--or, is this just like buying hand made Cashmere sweaters [I'm pulling your leg here, it's a joke, the last bit]

    AW used to work for Panasonic batteries...he gets first pick of the Panny 'A' batts and presumably, other company's batts as well. They all get tested and if they don't pass, he doesn't sell them. There's a reason that ProVape recommended only AW's for the longest time for the P2.5's.

    See post 93 in this thread on ECF: New AW Cells | Page 5 | E-Cigarette Forum

    They never let me join their club, being a cheapskate.
    Actually, SD, I've had a couple of bottles of the Amber Nectar and, if I don't shut up, I'll make a nuisance of myself.
    I know that you are bound to be absolutely right, and I will consider trying to source some real AW in the future.

    Funnily enough--just checked out any recognized suppliers of Andrew Wong Batteries in UK--and, our good buddy, Creme de Vape appears to be the man.

    There's more to it than just that...

    "The reason we recommend AW specifically is because we have done extensive testing and this is the brand that performs best in the ProVari."​

    Battery Mooch who does the most extensive battery testing for vapers on the Ideal Ohm Show from 41min10 onwards. Amazing info and learnt a lot of things. Recommended and informative viewing for all vapers:

    Also, the Ideal Ohm Show is a great Channel--always worth a look; thanks for reminding me V4Vendetta.

    Actually @Emmess I mention that it starts at 41min10sec into the show onwards and it ends shortly 1 hour after starting so it isn't 1h56min long :)

    Did you consider the fact that you will not need to pm anyone anymore if you did take the time to watch it because you will know pretty much everything there is to know and the person you PM just might appreciate that fact? 555 :pleasure:
