IMR 18650 3100 mAh EFEST 20A: Warning

I just received and email from Efest, not sure why, probably due to an enquiry I made with them in the past. Haven't read it myself yet but here it is in it's entirety.

To Caring Efest company all Customers:

Many customers hope us to clarify whole things about Efest batteries ( Dangerous? rewraped? overvalued? ), we should not have to response all questions to get more troubles, but we hope everyone knows the truth.

As we know, Efest is the first company to make the high drain cells for vaping market in China, we do know safty is the most important than any other companies, each Efest cell has three protection, and we never sell any fake batteries to any customers.

There are many chinese company are copying our cells like EH, Efan, Newise, MX..... they even do not know what is IMR high drain cells, just copy our all design without logo, do not care about quality and customer's safty, just make the same lables to cheat customers. They are starting to make the same lable, box. We spent half year studying batteries, but they just took few days to make out. We make the red and purple batteries, they did follow us to make the same color same amps printings on their batteries), but there are no customers blamming them. Most companies are rewrapping, but there are no customers blamming even they knows rewrapping. We just hope all customers can be kindly to Efest, comparing with all other companies, we did the first step for many good things like: stating more clearly on discharging amps ( We are the first company to put out discharging amps), making nice middle box ( all chinese forwarder can ship batteries as per our company package ).

Dangerous ? Never
We tested the discharging current of the purple Efest IMR 18650 2500mAh battery is 35A and purple Efest IMR 18650 3100mAh battery 20A, so we mark " discharging current" is 35A and 20A. It is true, not false. We had tested it is safe to use on the ecig mods, flashlight, etc. before we publish them on the market. We also received many good feedbacks that said our purple batteries are perfect for sub-ohm devices. Our purple batteries were launched from Dec. 2013. We never received any bad feedback about our purple 18650 battteries from our customers so far.

Overvalued ? Never
Regarding to the discharging current on batteries, we had collected most of the customers' kind feedbacks, started to describe both continuous discharging current and pulse discharging current on our batteries and made it on our NEW PURPLE Efest IMR 26650 batteries.
Efest never high valued every cell, we all put lower capacity, current than our testing result : http://ukvapers.org/Thread-New-Efest-26650-batteries

Rewrapped? 3900pcs
As our statement in May, we did rewarpped 3900pcs VTC4 batteries due to the shortage of battery raw materials in our factory, o
ur factory decided to use some Sony VTC4 batteries to replace the Efest purple IMR 2100mah batteries in order to handle every esteemed

I am not sure how I feel about this particular sentence ^^



Sent from the future

 

It's certainly not good practice, I don't know what it is with Asia, bad practice and thinking people will never know the difference.
At least they chose the VTC4. All of their batteries will now be under suspicion due to actions of their own.

 

Yeah, if it was the VTC4 that was behind the purple wrap yeah I'd be happy with that.

 

Don't trust them, never have and will never recommend them for anything...that letter should scare people.
