Deals N Specials Thread

[epage]

For the last year or so, everytime I see this threat, I think "Deals N' Squonks" I don't know why....almost seems it should be called that.
Anyone else have this thought?

LOL! No, but now that my brain got wrapped around that, now all it will say is DEALS 'N SQUEALS!! ohhboy... LOL

I need a bunch of 18350 batteries for the VV Reo Grand that I just received.
Has anyone tried non-IMR batteries since they have 58% more capacity(700 MAH vs. 1200 MAH)?
Where would I find the best prices?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I say use the recommended batteries. AW IMR 18350 do a fantastic job on our VV REO's.

Batteries : AW IMR 18350 3.7V 700mAh

Looks like a great deal. See how sneaky Amazon is to price them a dollar short of the free shipping cost. It would be cheaper to pay $25 and free shipping than $24 + shipping cost. lol Just a good marketing ploy to add another item. I think I'll try them out.

I can always find something I need at Amazon! But it ends up being around $40 total!!!

I have Amazon Prime, so no shipping costs. I was a little concerned about what I was ordering. I don't know how many different CGR18650CH batteries Panasonic sells. I went to RTD and they have 2--both shown as IMR/hybrid but one is protected. What the hell does that mean? Amazon doesn't use the term "protected" nor does it state that they are IMR. So I wasn't sure if I wanted one.
But there were only 9 left. It was like the infomercials--"Act now, before its too late!" I just couldn't resist. So I got 4 coming--whatever they are. I needed batteries. Mine all work but are getting old.

I have no idea Roger. I have not bought any. Maybe ask on the candlelight?( or is it candle power?) something like that, forum.

Seems to be unprotected Rog. Here's what I got from the item description: *Protective Circuit Board is required when making packs * User should have enough knowledge on Li-Ion rechargeable batteries in charging, discharging, and assembly before use Dimensions Diameter: 18 mm(0.7 inch) Height: 65 mm(2.559 inch)
So if a PCB is required and the dimensions looks the same same as the amr I'm guessing that their unprotected.

I bought 2 of these http://www.rtdvapor.com/online-store/batteries/cgr18650chbt-detail when Randy first got them and I can't tell much difference from the AWs.

Just received notice that my Panasonic batteries had shipped. That's pretty quick.

I bought 4 of them some time ago when they first hit the market. They are unprotected and IMR's (safe chemistry) like the AW IMR's. I use them on my Grand and they work just fine. If you need them on a Grand, then you got a great deal. They sell for $8.95 each from one vendor. You'll be more than satisfied with them. Ya done good.

Thanks. I will be using them on a Grand. I guess even a blind squirrel gets lucky one in a while.

510 LR atomizers type B 5 pack for $7. I have never used these, but wanted to let everyone know.

I was curious about what other REOnauts had experienced while using these attys. I thought they were great and superior to the Joye attys in every way--for about 2 weeks or so. They never get weak--they just die unexpectedly. Boom!
I'm not really complaining because we bought them at carto prices anyway. Great while they last but its not too long from what I've seen. Just wondering if others have found this to be true or perhaps not?

 

[sashwa]

I haven't tried mine yet, Roger.

 

[azzaman]

How does everyone find those Panasonic batteries? Are they the grey ones? I considered buying them, but the forum tends to have a AW only policy.

 

[oldbroad]

azzaman...the forum doesn't have an AW only policy, it's just that most feel it's the best brand for the Reos.

Someone else will be along for other suggestions on the batteries.

AW's are Panasonics. AW doesn't make batteries, he tests them. Rigorously. Only the best get jacketed and labeled AW, the rest get sold off to other brands.

Hey Roger, I post my opinion earlier and agree with you tho I got a little better life span from mine. As someone thats always been solid in the Cisco camp I would buy these instead if they continued to have them and of course at the great price.
