AAA sized 10440 Batteries??? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Ay Up everyone,

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of GDs mods. Both Jessica and myself are using them and they take the AAA 10440 3.6V batteries - same as the Janty Stick.

I ordered 2 batteries from iVapour.co.uk - ICR10440 360mAh - light blue with 2 little holes at the positive terminal. Unfortunately one got fried when I slept with it but the other is doing well and holding it's charge really well.

I ordered 6 batteries from dealextreme - Ultrafire TR10440 600mAh(yeah right!) - slightly darker blue with 3 little holes at the positive terminal. All six no longer hold their charge long enough to get 2 draws off them.

Has anyone else had the same problem with the Ultrafire batteries??

Rusty

I use Ultrafire 18650's for my GG Transformer and have had no problem..... I own 12 Ultrafire 18650's and rotate them often..... They last for about 2 days in my GG with constant smoking at 3.7 volts...... Maybe you just got a bad batch.....

Hiya Rusty, I ordered these
Ultra Fire 10440 3.6V 500mAh 2Pack
on 3 October.

Yesterday I heard they would not be available and I was invited to place a different order. Well in the four weeks wait I just got fed up and bought 10440's from ivapour.co.uk - arrived in 2 days. So I've asked Dx for a refund.

Best,

C.

I've only ever used the 10440's from DX and I've not ever had a prob.
Saying that tho there was an issue not so long ago about a bad batch of batteries they where selling.

Thanks for the replies - think I will stick with the JS ones from iVapour for the moment!

Cheers

Got mine here if anyone's still looking.
Had them a few weeks and they seem OK.

The 10430's I got with a cigar, grey with red lettering and sold everywhere e-cigars are sold have outlived all my uf 10440's. They're the same size as 10440's by the way.
