Sign in at sourcemore and the Aegis Solo is only $26.40 and takes a single 18650.
Not for everyone. sourcemore has 2 different levels of customers - General and Bronze. In order to get Bronze level status, you have to make one successful purchase (meaning, the purchase is shipped and delivered to you). Then you get bronze status and get the better prices on some products. So for those of us who refuse to play that game, we see $44.00 for the Aegis solo even after we log in.
I went back and forth with them in an email about how they lose customers this way, they will not budge, that is their policy.
Here's their first email response to me when I asked them why I see higher prices than other people...
Dear,
Because you are our general customer.
Customer who ordered from us and received their package successfully will become our bronze customer.
There is a big discount for our bronze customers.
Best Regards,
Lemon
So if you want the better pricing on the solo, you have to first buy something else that's cheap (like maybe something on clearance), wait for it to be shipped, then delivered, then you will get bronze status so you can buy the solo for $26.40 (if that price is still even valid by that time lololololol).
