Have I got a real or fake Samsung battery?

[conanthewarrior]

Hi people, I am pretty new to the world of these type of batteries, and my Sigelei and nautilus mini arrived today, along with a 'samsung' battery.

I bought it off of a UK site, that have had favourable reviews on UK forums, and the battery is blue but does not have samsung written anywhere on it.

All it has is VERY faint letters and numbers, which read J5F2 42EJ, then further down it reads R2E7.
There is a sticker on the battery that says 18650 2500MAH 3.7V.

I payed for a genuine samsung battery, so just want to make sure this is, in fact, the genuine article.

It is currently charging across the room in a nitecore I2 charger with built in protection.

Any advice would be much appreciated to a new, but slightly anxious I have been bumped, vaper.

Mine has Samsung printed on it. I think you probably were sent a fake, but wait and see what some more experienced battery experts think. They will be here soon...

I have a feeling I have a fake too. Which is a shame as this place has got good reviews, lets see what the people who know more say.

I've contacted the company asking if they may of accidentally sent me a clone, and said I am checking on a forum where there are battery experts wether it is real or fake.
I said they may well be an innocent third party who has also received fakes in place of the real thing.

Anyone who can confirm real or fake for me would be much appreciated.

its under the sticker, its real. All the samsung information was hidden by the sticker. It does not appear to be fake, I contacted the shop and they also said they don't deal with fakes, if they ever did start to they would put it is a clone in large print.

So, its real. Sigh of relief.

EDIT: I feel like a right idiot. All the information, along with the clear word 'samsung' was hidden beneath the sticker.

No need to feel like an idiot when you're double checking for safety!
You never know who else you may have helped in the process.

So how do you like the sig?

I bloody love it! I just took it to the sports bar with me, used it in there, and found the sweet spot with this juice was 9 watts. I tried lower, tried higher, but got the most flavour at 9 watts.

I am very, very impressed though. I can not believe how much vapour this thing produces. If I want to I can make my room look like cheech and chongs car lol, and its reading at 1.9 ohms, so I can only imagine sub ohm.
