ya i just read about em, so they probably are less than half of the actual rated mah. Supposidly they are protected... but i haven't really found proof other than claims.
I kinda just bought them on a whim cus of the deal, and figured 3.6=protected.
someone bought a pair claiming to be 1200 mah, and he hit 700mah
So they probably are just some no-names rebranded, and they may blow up n my face, but oh well, at least i got a good deal right!?!?!
Heres to hoping
edit::: I can test Mah with a multimeter right?

Let us know how that woeks with the AFS. I'm curious.
Works great with the AFS. Perfect juice control and flavor.
Even if they are unprotected, they won't/can't/shouldn't blow up if you use them in the BK due to other protection.
Yeah the Buzz is protected, so you have nothing to worry about. Just make sure to use a good charger that has automatic shutoff.
I found a thread on the Candlepower forum about GTL 16340. I don't know if it's exactly the same battery you bought but they tested it 300mAh.
GTL 16340 Li-ion Ebay Batt "TEST" !!! - CandlePowerForums
I think you should have gone to Candlepower before buying GLT batteries.
Thx Harpo!! Now I'm WAY TOO EXCITED!! LOL! And Buzz tells me I gotta wait for them to ship..it's gonna be a loooonnggg weekend...LOL!
meh $7, not like its gonna kill me... but ya probably should have researched em first.
I've bought batteries from Ebay before and used them. I'm sure they are better than the ones I got impatient and bought from Walgreens. I couldn't wait and was new to all this anyway I ran up to WG paid $17.00 for two CR2s got home put them in a pv and then read about protected circuits. They weren't protected and they weren't rechargeable. I felt like the biggest fool around. So now I got two new CR2s I can't use and can't give away. 
Hey don't worry about it because you can still use them. For the price you can't lose.
Remeber Li-Ion batteries can always SELF destruct ( not make anybody paranoid ! ) BUT the quality has come a long way in the last 6 months .
The battery Companies have taken notice and responded .
The BUZZ has lots of built in protection already and we will be increasing that soon to include a Over current SHUTOFF as well ( we have max current / over current protection but not shutoff )
I have also found a higher current IC that we are looking at ( not sure if we need more current yet ? ) I am looking into these as well.
We will always be looking to improve the products we make and provide more protection and a better product for the Vaper .
Any suggestions you have please make them available to us we are ALL EARS !

I have a bunch of stuff going on this weekend so shipments will get a little behind normal ( band gig's etc. )
I have changed the web site to show a 3-5 day delivery so we can make sure we have the time to make these right and test the hell out of them.
I have had a couple of returns because I rushed the build NO MORE OF THAT !
We are very quality control conscious , and do not want any returns or failures because of rushing orders. We will delay shipments before we ship something out that is NOT 100% .

Yes. Regulation doesn't change capacity. If it were PWM regulated it would have a longer runtime (due to effecient regulation) but the buzz has a linear regulator. If you had three setups with identical batteries and identical loads - a single battery, two stacked batteries, and two stacked batteries with a linear regulator - they would all run out at exactly the same time.
If your 16340 mod is outlasting a 14500, it's because the 14500 capacity of the 14500 was probably overrated.
When will the VVPV be coming out.
I'm saving up, but I wish it was bottom feed.

I have to see IF I can justify the Mold costs ( $5-6,000 !!! ) I am looking at a case that is pre-made not as sexy looking but I can get it on the market faster and for less cost.
I really want to make the enclosure I designed But the cost is prohibitive right now.
Bottom feeders have several problems
1. Juice leaks back into the bottle and spoils it
2. Exclusive atomizers , you cannot use a standard atty that I know of.
3.possible juice in the electronics
top feeders Cons:
1. no leaking of juice back into the bottle
2. Stock atomizers
3. clean delivery of the juice
4. OUR design delivers 2 drops EVERY time
it also holds 5 ml of juice so it is good for a whole day.
I am looking at a new design that is a single battery 18650 and a boost regulator for 3.6- 5.5 volts variable regulated output. with built in juice feed , a variation on the VVPV
