Not off the top of my head, and I couldn't tell you how much, but I know if you search L88B in google, you'll find some chinese sites that will sell them for cheaper. You might not want to deal with the wait time and the possibility of customs seizing your order, in which case, Volcano and Blu are the only options I'm aware of.
Actually, Volcano offers a bulk discount on items, meaning that you get each individual item cheaper if you buy more than one. So you can get them for less than 10 a piece at Volcano, but it's not a huge discount.

I only want to deal with US companies. I have bought more than 1 at a time thru volcano but then they are 9$ each was hoping more along the lines of 5$ a peice. Thought about the 306a batts but can't find those either, they are always out of stock. I guess I will keep looking.
Well, I just checked the Revolver website(they sell a branded l88b, 510, and ego), and they have more color selections for the battery itself(i dunno about LED), but they want like $11 or $12 for a single battery, so that's not any better.. I think the only way you're gonna find a battery for cheaper is if you buy privately or from China. You could post a thread in the classified section asking for cheap L88b batteries. There are TONS of unsatisfied blu/volcano customers on this forum. I'm sure they'd have no problem parting with some of their parts, if not the whole kit.
I totally understand only wanting to deal with US companies. I'm the same way. I don't want my package seized, and I'm not patient enough to wait the amount of time it takes to ship from China. Plus, the shipping is a lot more expensive, and it gets to the point where sometimes it's cheaper to just pay the inflated US prices anyway. It looks like your best bet is to ask around ECF to see if anyone has spare batteries they don't need.

I could be wrong since it's been a while since I dealt with Revolver but I think their Elite is a branded 401 not an L88b. I haven't used that model in a while and I gave everything L88b away to friends.
OP, you may want to try cruising the For Sale sections here and at blucigforum. You'll probably find a few barely used batts cheap.

Oops, my bad. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway since they're even more expensive.
yeah, the only way you're gonna find 'em any cheaper is if you buy privately or from china.
One thing you could do though... I don't know if you know this already or not, but the Joye 510's batteries and atomizers are interchangeable with the blu/volcano. The 510 is slightly fatter, but the threads will fit. And I just came across what I think is a pretty damn good deal right here: http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co...titan-electronic-cigarette-5-x-3-product.html
That's $22 something for 5 510 batteries. A single battery is always at least $10(except in the case of tasty vapor, but I don't see their batteries for sale anymore anyway), usually more. Let's pretend all 510 batteries cost $11. Well, with this 5 pack, I basically bought two and got 3 for free. So anyway, what you COULD do, since this is such a great deal, is just get this 5-pack of batteries. They come out to less than 5 bucks each. Then all you'd need is a 510 charger. I'm not sure how much they are on TotallyWicked, but they usually run about $10 at the most. The added bonus of doing this is that later on down the road, should you ever decide to try out another e-cig, you already have half of what you need right there. All you need then is an atty or two and some carts or a drip tip. In any case, that's the best deal I've seen on batteries. You won't have to worry about your e-cig going off randomly because the batteries are manual, and the added length only makes the blu just about equal to the size of an analog 100. Also, these batteries will last longer before needing to be recharged.
Unless you've already found a great deal on L88b batteries, I would strongly consider this option.

I aleady have several 510's I don't use them anymore. I prefer the Blu size, I like the Pcc better than the one for the 510. I already use the 510 batts but do not like them. I think I will pick up some of those 5 packs though for the hubby thanks for finding that. I have been to Totally before and never noticed those batts, everything else they have is a bit pricey.
I would check the classifieds for anyone getting rid of a blu. maybe put an ad up looking for blu equipment. i'm gonna give my blu another go with 306 cartos. I was playing with a lr 306 and liked it.
I was thinking of placing a bulk order to china, waiting on my sample order to come in to test quality. In order to get the price down, I have to order more quantity. If I knew other people also interested in getting some, I could place a bigger order. I just don't know how much demand there is for L88b batts. I still use them too, when I want hands free vaping, and already had plans to place an order to china, so why not add a few more and get the price down. I guess this would be a co-op situation?? I don't know. Anyway, just wanted to put that out there, so if enough people are interested, I can get more than I planned on getting for myself, to make them available (privately) to others who may want some as well. I hope I am not crossing a line by posting this, just want to help out.
These are supposed to be l88. :E-Mist Smokeless Cigerattes: Batteries 50% off seven something.
I would figure that l88bs would be much more common, I'd love to just be able to buy parts anywhere instead of hoping that Blu/Volcano are in stock.
volcano are the cheapest that I had found. One + is their shipping is much cheaper and quicker then coming from overseas.
