locally, dun think so

but there's always ebay ")

but hor, always use protected only batteries .... as there;s a cut off when the voltage runs too low like 2.7v

normally people will go for branded ones like AW, i been using some trustfires, so far so good ..

tis online shop selling AW battery

Thx for sharing!!! am planning to head down to beach road to c big torchlight hehe prolly able to grab some supplies as well

I'm using AW batteries(compliments from Painfreak) and a Trustfire charger from fstoplights.AW till now has the best lithium ion batteries so i've heard and read from reviews,and my trustfire tr001 works awesome by cutting off charging once they are fully charged.anyone can advise buying from DX?

 

[pantss]

buying from DX is safe. i have ordered (non-related things) from them before. their downside is that they are really slow - much slower than ebay. typically any shipments would take at least full 3 weeks before they can reach and it can hit 1.5months (if no stock). other down side is that if things, in particular, electronics, are dead on arrival, they require u to ship it back to them. though, i've not encountered any DOAs personally.

what i suggest is to view their stuff, comments, look at their forums, and try to find the exact thing off ebay.


edit: and in comparison ebay stuff from china usually take 2-3 weeks to arrive and is typically slightly cheaper than DX if u search properly.

i buy from DX quite frequent, very safe...of course non related to ecig.
i order the trustfire tr001 charger too, but not yet arrive...

 

[Rayes]

how come DX can have several different prices for the same products?are they essentially the same though?

 

[pantss]

do u have links to the said examples?

if all else equal (rating, picture etc), ctrl or cmd + F (to find) 'Listed by Supplier:' - the same product may have a change of supplier.

ps: the wording is in faint gray

wow @pantss you're very observant. i missed out that the first link wasn't protected.

 

[Stinson]

how to know it's protected?

 

[circuitsucka]

It will be stated on the battery

 

[Stinson]

Thanks circuit

 

[Rayes]

wah pantss got like super eyes.these compared to their AW counterparts are super tempting price wise...anybody can tell noticeable difference after using?

 

[Smoking Panda]

as long as u are drawing 1C , most china branded ones shld be ok .....

unless u are drawing more than 1C, then aw or imr is always prefer ..... but it still boils down to individual users and products .......

I personally like to use AW IMR high drain, but they seriously go flat kinda fast..

i recently came across this forum having a seller from HK selling AW batteries, i had brought 4x 18350 aw imr from him and the shipping is cheap too... $6 usd with tracker
his service is fast as he will send it to PO the next day upon receiving of payment.

8th nov was sent to PO and obtained the tracker for the package, will see how long it will take from HK to SG.
