I received a pile of them from several awesome vapers willing to send them to me. They&#8217;ve been using these batteries for up to months and purchased them from several vendors.<\/p>\n<p>These fakes are often created in one quick batch and dumped on the market. The counterfeiters then disappear before anyone finds out that the batteries are fake.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying the vendors, even if I knew who they were, would be problematic because some will not have the fakes in stock anymore. Any vendors who do will hopefully remove them.<\/p>\n<p>Just as additional info&#8230;<br \/>\nI purchased a pair of Samsung 25R&#8217;s from three vendors recently for my performance testing of the 25R (checking if there has been a performance drop over time&#8230;there hasn&#8217;t). All six batteries were genuine and performed as well or better than previous 25R&#8217;s I have tested.<\/p>\n<p>These vendors were Illumn, IMRBatteries, and Liion Wholesale (in alphabetical order).<\/p>\n<p>There are a large number of other vendors who stock genuine 25R&#8217;s though! Check my pinned post for a list of my trusted vendors or speak to your vendor of choice about this issue if you have any concerns.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"A%20BATTERY%20MOOCH%20POST%3A%20Where%20are%20these%20fake%2025R%27s%20being%20sold%3F\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know.
