Beware Trustfire Flame jacket batteries

[ericdjobs]

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 details.

Thank you Clouds of Vapor for an amazingly quick and effective response. I can see my business is well placed.

I have sent notice to him, but I want anyone who has purchased these batteries to BEWARE

My trustfire flame jacket 14500s purchased from Clouds of Vapor were not fitting in my mods... to try and find an answer, I found this video.


This video had me curious, so I ripped the jackets off one of the trustfires I bought from Clouds of Vapor... and look what I found


Checking the other battery (That was sold SHRINKWRAPPED TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!) is it GREEN and a different capacity, JUST LIKE IN THE FIRST VIDEO!

I was going to run two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT batteries in a SERIES


This is not safe. Clouds of Vapor needs to notify everyone who purchased these batteries that they were fakes, and they need to pull them from the website immediately.

I purchased a total of 4 of these fake batteries.

Again, NOT SLAMMING CLOUDS OF VAPOR. I'm sure they had NO IDEA! I still plan on making a lot of my vaping purchases from them.. they have always come through and they are a great vendor. I'm sure this will be rectified. Just be careful.

Thank you for posting this. It's important to get this kind of info out there ASAP!

This is the kind of stuff that needs to be posted always, great post ! Trustfire and Ultrafire Batts are junk in my opinion, AW & Redilast are the quality Batts to be using in your Mods. People spend $150-$200 or any price for that matter on a mod then you and your Mod deserve to be running AW, Redilast, and top quality Batts in your PV's, nough said on that, again great post and thanks for the warning for all the ECF members I'm sure Bruce will pull them off the shelf immediately.

Yes, I have taken them off sale. And, I have just received confirmation from my factory in China.
Anyone who has bought TrustFire FlameJacket 14500 batteries can ask for a refund.
I will take care of them immediately, no return required. Just send me your order number to my email or PM me here.

Thank you...I was going to order some of them. Glad to have found this thread. I am going to get what mwa suggested to use.

 

[Bigbuyer]

I want to assure everyone that I had no idea about this and I want to thank our community for finding this out!
This includes all the Trustfire FlameJacket Batteries including my 14500, 16340 and 18650.

The title of this thread is misleading because the batteries are available from a lot of different vendors....

The title should be changed to...

"Beware Trustfire Flame jacket batteries."

It is made to look like COV is the only place that this problem exists, and that is not true.

 

[Bigbuyer]

Thank you PKZ, I am not the only supplier by a long shot. FlameJackets are a very small part of my battery selection.
The title of a thread can not be changed by me.

If the OP uses the "triangle report icon" for his post and puts the new title in the report along with a request to do so, a Moderator will do it for him.

No need- I took care of it.

NP Bruce. I'm the one that should be thanking you for handling this so quickly and without any fuss. I may have to get off my .... and actually order something from you

so many vendors, so little time...

Classy response by Bruce! -Magnus

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 supply end.


Thank you so much CoV for correcting this problem in a matter of hours after it was discovered..on the tail end of a Friday too. Awesome place and will definitely continue to place orders on a regular basis.
