No disrespect to our battery master but isn't that a kind of 'how to' for cloners?

They aren't cloning cells, they just re-wrap different (presumably cheaper) cells in 25R wrappers. (in this case it seems 10A 22P's) The stuff under the wrappers isn't easy (or cheap) to change and that's why we can tell they aren't 25R's.

Pretty subtle and hard to spot.
Once again, only buy from specialist sellers who you know batch test and are reputable - even otherwise trusted sellers (who sell everything vape related) can get caught out so leave it with the specialists who are not expensive and there are enough of them now (at least five in the UK) that they have to be competitive (and you won't see price fixing because they all hate each other).
(last bit is not true)
(not completely true)
(healthy rivalry)

Should have said (dodgy) re-wrappers but cloners sprung to mind. That's what I meant anyway.

I highly suggest https://www.imrbatteries.com/ for legit batteries & chargers, money back guaranteed.

Mooch is showing us where to look, specific areas on the cell, to tell whether it's a clone or not. The work he does *free of charge and pays him nothing* is very helpful to us mechanical users especially. It's not a how-to for cloners, anyone who rewraps (myself) isn't cloning. Selling something as something else just by changing the appearance isn't right, he's just helping us not get screwed.
