    Almost a mod in a box

    That's the only problem i'm seeing with this thing Output Current: 2A ( More than 2A , circuit automatically protected ) It looks ike the built in protection circuit trips at 2A draw.. which isn't all that much for 4x18650 in parallel 2.5 ohm at 5v is a 2A draw I don't quite understand why...

    Scammed!

    Dishonest sellers are bad. But in all reality, you have to defend yourself from this as much as possible. If you think about it, why else would someone be selling their juice on the classifieds? More than likely it is a flavor they themselves did not like very well, and they're trying to...

    Beware Trustfire Flame jacket batteries

    Awesome and amazingly QUICK response on the issue. I've been at work, had to go right after I did this... thanks for fixing the title guys. I wasn't in any way trying to tarnish a vendor and any vendor could be victim to this, including all the flashlight suppliers. This is a problem on the...

    Just to let everyone know Bruce at Clouds of Vapor has agreed to refund any flame jacket 14500s without actual return of the battery if you PM him your order numbers. He also pulled them all immediately from sale. Great customer service.

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

    I love clouds of vapor and will be ordering my AW IC 14500s from them.. and I get my AW IMR from them... I have nothing against them and they are a great supplier and I understand there's no way to really know until someone reports it. I'm just wanting to let people know who might have...

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

    What is wrong with you? It's not a stink and I'm not trying to tarnish the merchant. I'm trying to warn people because this could be a safety concern. It's not a safe. I highly doubt this is some sort of screwup, this seems intentional. The trustfire jacket is placed ON TOP OF a protection...

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

    I did say BDL I was confused, sorry. I only just recently got the wrapper down far enough to see the name, and I only took a glimpse... I confused them with the BDL IMR high-drains CoV sells. It's really B&K. I'll post a more clear picture if I can get a digital camera, my laptop webcam kind...

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

    B&K(H)14500G20-750mAh B&K is not trustfire! Trustfires are *damn good batteries* when compared to these no-name chinese manufacturers..there's a reason why nobody stocks B&K batteries and trustfire flames are sold out everywhere

    Beware Trustfire Flame jacket batteries

    This post isn't meant to slam anyone. I have total respect for CoV and I'm sure Bruce had NO IDEA this was going on. *Bruce at clouds of vapor has corrected the problem, and pulled all of these batteries from sale. He has offered a refund to anyone who purchased such batteries. See thread for...

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

    They don't fit because it's a generic (B&K I think is what it says) battery with a protection circuit slapped onto it, rewrapped with a trustfire jacket. The reason they are too big is because the protection circuit is sitting on top of the battery (Not inside the actual shrink wrap) with the...

    Counterfeit Trustfire 14500s.. BEWARE

Please beware...

    EverCool Variable Voltage Mod

    Quick question, on my evercool mod ( didn't make it ) with the master switch ON, the regulator itself heats up and in normal operation, I find it to get pretty hot (hot enough to make a noticeable hot spot on the outside of the battery box) It's a rather small mod using 2x AW IMR 14500s...

    I have a question for ya'll... I just received a boxmod, very excited.. I go to put in my trustfire 14500s (Flame jacket) and they won't fit! I feel like I'm going to break either the mod or the battery trying to force them in there.. they just aren't fitting. Is this common or is...

    Hobby charger? Looks awesome!

    So, doing some research about charging batteries in a series and in parallel... I ran across this excellent little post over on the candlepowered forums (It's amazing to me how closely related the PV modding and Flashlight modding communities are....) The post was about using a hobby charger to...
