Fake chargers (XTAR, Nitecore)!!!

Yea kinda raised my eyebrow a few months back. When it was being sold for 19.99 when months back it was 29.99? Being bundled with flashlights & batteries even make it more tempting to buy them too.

thank you Simon, I think there is something you misunderstanding.

First, we want to declare that we do not made any mistake in the past and won’t make any mistake in future too.

Second, we never ever sold any AW batteries. None of one piece. One of our customer suggested us to post the AW batteries picture on our website as the marketing tools, for promote our own products. And we even refused many customers to making the fake AW batteries.

Third, the BIO charger we have patent, and many other approval, also the engineer designed it under the Chinese lawyer verified. Is not just that sample to print whatever the name and paste it on it. There are many Chinese factory maybe will do like that, but we never do and even won’t do like that.

I’m really appreciate your kindly words, but the truth is the truth, we shouldn’t ignore it.

Hi filtt,

We appreciate for your kindly hard works for to prove raid at bestvaping. lolz, though the vedio speaking in Chinese but never mentioned any bestvaping relative else, even no efest batteries or relative else. How do you know it’s bestvaping and why anxious to prove it bestvaping? Those vedios happened in everywhere of the world every day. Where showed bestvaping? How do you sure it? Hmm, looks like you are the from the Xtar?

I hate bestvaping.
They sell fakes and are still not honest when we got this information direct from xtar. Just a bit blabla…
I am sure they would never admit even if they were devil themself.

Still waiting on my invoice for my order…since some month. I don’t trust them and I don’t like them.

I'm still waiting to see someone who actually received any fake product from Efest. ;)

After some messages with Xtar and Efest representatives, I think all of this is far less an issue that we all thought. I'll shed some light on that later.

Simon? Did you… went back from the future? :o

I just received a large order from powerwholesale (same as bestvaping) including 2 Xtar MP2 chargers and 2 SysMax/NiteCore Intellicharger i4 V2 chargers and they look identical to and charge exactly the same as the ones I had purchased from a trusted source.

I found getting the order sorted out with them a bit more time consuming than some of the other sellers (Tmart, Wallbuys, Fasttech…) but I found their communication throughout was prompt and customer focused. Their pricing is great (wholesale) so shipping charges (EMS, DHL, FedEx) can seem high, but for a large order I’d recommend them based on my personal experience.

Was that office in the video, with battery chargers of different brands, a victim of friendly fire?

After all the drama of that raid, it was all much ado about nothing (as Shakespeare would have said it)?

I’m sorry scaru… that’s cool. I just thought it was like a bunch of paragraphs or stuff… hey, I guess that would’ve been cool too.

Thanks for the info you posted! :slight_smile:

Hey Woody,

I really feel sorry about this problem,I emailed to sb56637 almost 1 month ago to explain the reason( why we end the adverstizing on BLF ). I am sure there is not any relationship with the it.

About your questions: why this company traded under so many names: since each site need the different name, and our company was registered by official in china and Hongkong, and we put products on B2B website, we need some certifications here and there.

We are here always, and we will take duties for every our client. Do not be afraid, we never want to cheat others, that is our BLF adverstizing said: we will accept any suggestions ( bad and good ),we will improve under your feedbacks, and hope you will support to us all the time.

Hey Werner,

I am sorry If bestvaping gave you bad impression.

As your know,we would like to check the best shipping cost to you ( and also we need time conmunicate and confirm with you ) ,that is why we are slowly, Sheer already sent the tracking number to you on Jan.17th, I think you will get it soon with good shipping cost.

Bestvaping is not selling Fake Xtar chargers. How many times have I bought from them? MANY TIMES. None of my customers ever of their xtar wp2 sp2 wp6 as being defective or fake. Ive bought nitecore from them too. If you want to find out for yourself order an xtar WP2 from Bestvaping or Manafont then buy one frm FStoplights. Check if there are any differences.

You took the words out of my mouth, MonzReyes. Bestvaping, efest, powerwholesale, whatsoever doesn’t sell fake Xtar chargers. It doesn’t sell any Xtar products atm.

In the past they sold fake Xtar chargers.

They are a pretty good company that has delivered quality batteries to hundreds of members here on BLF.

My experiance is the same as yours ..shipping is a bit slow at about 28 days but prices were right and the products were of good quality ..I would do business with them again and reccommend them too a friend .

Why has BLF turned into a big witch hunt ??

Time to quit the drama club

I think we are experiencing a witch hunt in the forum because of that police raid video and somebody alleged the police raid was conducted at bestvaping.net office.

and the source of this information was;

and somebody alleged that vestvaping;

In the latest allegation against bestvaping.net, the source of information is….?

Seems like a lot of free publicity for Xtar. Just saying…

@antonkochubey: Simon is my real name which kreisler - who deleted his post^^ - knows. :)

Now about all that stuff with fake Xtar chargers.. I have exchanged several messages with both Xtar and Efest (aka bestvaping, bestinone, powerwholesale) representatives and I got very different answers.

So the following is based upon the facts I got.

I dont know if that video was shot at bestvaping. Honestly, no idea who is telling the truth right now. Do I think it is possible that it was shot at bestvaping? Yes, but even if it was, I dont think its an issue.

In my opinion, Efest didnt sell any fake charger in the past. Why do I think that?

Xtar HAD distributors in China. They just cancelled their contracts with most of them, so friendly fire as someone called it earlier is possible. How could you possibly control where hundreds/thousands of chargers eventually show up? Maybe Xtar sold them to Efest (or the company in question) directly but wanted to stop that very quick? Maybe some of the resellers made better business than Xtar and they didnt like it?

Xtar didnt warn about fake chargers, they even say they are not dangerous.

About the low price thing.. I bought mine during a special sale about 30% under MSRP. And its genuine. What does that tell us? Some distributors give up a part of their earning on one product to promote their shop. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nitecore didnt investigate, although there are Nitecore chargers in the video. Nitecore is a competitor of Xtar. Would a company knowingly sell fake Xtar chargers but genuine ones from Nitecore?

Business in China works a little different than in the western world. A former friend can be your worst enemy the next day. Stealing business partners is very common.

As you see, there are more possible scenarios than I have fingers. In the end, we will NEVER know the truth. Probably Xtar and Efest will know it, but I'm not even sure about that. If there even is an investigation by lawyers, it will soon end because they wont find anyone responsible. I mean, suing someone in China for copyright infringement is ridiculous.

Personal note: I still trust Efest and Xtar and I would buy from both without hesitation. So, what is our benefit from all these videos, posts, bashing, complaining, complaining about people who complain and so on? Well, now we know that you cant compare chinese companies to western ones. It just works differently there. A lot of that is somewhere between morally questionable and plain wrong.

But lets be honest: we are insignificant to most chinese manufacturers. And its great that they still care about us.

Live long and prosper!

I ordered a nitecore intellecharger from ebay seller Harris Outdoors last month. It took 19 days to get to me. Supposed to be a us seller.
You fellas think maybe i got a fake?

Get yours and run it by Nitecore.

Suspicious about them… I don’t know but they’ve been running a free shipping special on Amazon with a “Nitecore EC1 ULTIMATE PACKAGE! INCLUDES i2 INTELLICHARGER AND 2 X 16340 PROTECTED BATTERIES” (trustfire cells, not nitecore) for $55 and that’s cheaper than buying them all at fasttech! (Could just be a loss-leader for nitecore, though)

But 19 days and they write in their ad “ALL PRODUCTS ARE SHIPPED FROM OLD SAYBROOK, CT. USA!” Isn’t that where Battery Junction is from? Same Company???
