Does anyone know when more 14500 UltraFires are due in? I want to place an order, but want to get everything all in one shot.

Trustfires and Ultrafires are both ordered. Trustfires are supposed to be in next week with ultrafires to follow shortly after. China is having some battery shortage problems and all of our battery orders have been delayed

With the CNY fast approaching, hopefully all the China stuff will be out of the country before the massive 1-2 week shut down.
Thanks, Hoog. It'll let me add a few more things to the order........Forgot about their New Years, Para. I wonder if that affects their QC like in the States around Christmas time with some of our manufacturers, like beer bottles in new car doors, etc.....
No kidding. It turns in to not just a couple of weeks of the Chinese being shut down for the Spring Celebration, but then big backlogs in Chinese manufacturing, Shipping, etc etc. It starts Feb 5 this year. It's worth considering for people who don't keep extra supplies of their favorite items... they should think about stocking up before it starts.
Last year, between the Chinese holidays and the problems with US customs creating short supplies of lots of different stuff, I decided keeping a stock of extras was a good idea. Though the FDA generated US Customs problems are (for the most part) a thing of the past (but still maybe a thing of the future), vaping is experiencing big growth. I suspect greater demand, plus the Chinese holidays will keep this coming year about the same for the occasional supply problems.
I'm not suggesting that everyone should keep the amount of stuff I keep around, but a stash of favorites big enough to get a vaper through at least a couple of weeks here and there when problems happen would probably be wise.
EDIT: It starts Jan 23 this year and most manufacturing should be back online by Feb 5 or 6. Some may be as late as Feb 12 or 13.
