Dug around for specs High Drain Trustfire Imr 14500 Rechargeable Batteries 700mah 3.7v Battery Rechargeable Batteries - Buy Imr 14500 Rechargeable Batteries,Rechargeable Battery 700mah,3.7v Battery Rechargeable Batteries Product on Alibaba.com

discharger: 5c

so at 700mAh specsx5c = 3500

So with those batteries it is conceivable you could push 3.5 amps, not alot for a high drain device..so be careful

Thanks for the heads up. I don't sub ohm or anything with these. Just plain ole 1.8 ohm coil in a pro tank. 4.2 volts divide by 1.8 resistance = 2.33 amps, or theoretically, max output. As long as I don't have a short I should be ok. Another thing about these batts is the actual mah is more like 650. So that brings the amp limit down to 3.2 amps

IMR chemistry (as you probably already know) 'shouldn't' be as dangerous if there is a catastrophic failure (short). Anyone doing mechanicals should be aware of these risks. I never carry them in a pocket with an atomizer attached either.

For my Daughter and her other half, I thought I would give them these..

They work pretty good with a low resistance coil. They don't have the same output as a mech (more like 3.7v +/-), but they do a decent job. I think for where they're at right now, this will serve the purpose. They can buy prepackaged coils for the pro tank mini's that I'll give them. Of course I'll give them at least a five pack (each) of coils too.

Oh, and about these purple batteries, There are no markings on them whatsoever! :homy:. They will be 'recycled'

With a little luck and tinkering you can get some good stuff at FT.
DIY polished SS BTW.

That is cool! I've gotten plenty of great stuff from FT. Enough that I could probably hold off until things work themselves out with the shipping. Must be kind of "iffy" to change shipping providers twice in a week. But I would like to try for some more juice, possibly another mod, some ready wires......lol

Oh...Baditude will getcha if you say IMR's aren't as dangerous with a short

Agreed on the "real" mah vs what is written on the side of the battery thing...1.8Ω is probably the lowest anyone would want to run on a straight voltage eGo battery anyway

No need to trash the purple ones...get a few really cheap Cree flashlights..those should work just fine in em (even though they don't have the low volts "protection" circuit in em)

A little more pricey..but maybe these would be "safer"

Haha, maybe this thread will move fast enough that he won't see it

You did see that i said 'shouldn't' lol

I hadn't thought about using those batts in a flashlight, at least they wouldn't be stuck to my face. I may just do that.

I did see those Sanyo's. I had seen someone say they may not be all that, so I opted to try the trust****'s out (don't even want to type it ).
I've tested them pretty good, but I'm still aware.

Thanks again for keeping a check on us here. It's amazing how helpful this forum in general has been

Tracking Problem Of The US Orders Shipped Via Singapore Post

***Updated on 11/19/2013***
Since Singapore Post is unable to fix these problems. We've got the packages back and will resend them via Hong Kong Post. An email will send to the customers with the new tracking number in 24 hours.




Because of the unstable processing of Hong Kong Post. We've swapped the US orders from Hong Kong Post to Singapore Post for a few days ago.

But we've noticed that there is two big problems with this service provided by Singapore Post. The main one is the tracking numbers in their system are all mixed up, they gave the tracking numbers which are already used to us. We've checked the tracking information of all orders we shipped during the past few days, there is at least 50% of the orders are shipped with the used tracking number which already shown delivered / Transporting on the tracking site.

So wait. they are now shipping via HK post again? lol

 

[Capt.shay]

This one deserves its own post.

* Current average response time for similar questions: 66 hours, on business days

Seriously? Going on three days before they even tell you to please be patient. They need to hire some help.

I wish it was like the "old" days but I think that ship has sailed.

And in this weeks episode of "As the Vapor Trail Turns"..........

 

[klynnn]

Got my latest pkg yesterday. It had been torn open and retaped by HKP. It was delivered with one side hanging open. Believe it or not everything was in there. This had lots of small stuff and I am amazed half of it was there. Got a gold sid and it works pretty good, but still love my vamo more.

Lol. yes.

Interesting thing, I now have two packages that made it to the states thru HK post in almost record time. Ordered on the 14th. Shipped on the 16th. Both now processed thru San Fran as of today. If normal time holds up from SF(about 3-4 days), I could potentially get my items in 9 days FROM ORDER date. 7 days from shipping date. lol

Yes, I did think about holly (poor girl), but I had forgotten about you.

Man, they must of put that thing on the space shuttle! It's hard to believe they still haven't got that took care of

Sorry joe.aus, but if any one is 'winning' that would be Capt.shay, and commaholly in a close second

I do hope FT gets it together for y'all

It was 43 hrs last week when I noticed.

 

[Myrany]

The whole shipping thing really has me thinking 4 times before ordering anything. Now to hear about opened packages that are badly resealed. YEEEESH

 

[klynnn]

I have been making fairly big orders for me about 140.00 a month here lately since I'm stocking up on things that work. Just decided to start splitting them up in two, so If part is lost I will not be out so much. If they are going to play the game so am I. Still I haven't had a bad order yet and I'm pretty close to being finished.

yeah I am at the point where anything I order now is an I WANT not an I NEED. I got my stocking up finished.

Maybe something like this
CTA Tools 1120 Small Brake Cylinder Hone - Amazon.com

Gotta go REAAAAALY slow and maybe put scotch tape all over the rest of the rig so as to not ding/scratch/bugger up the rest of it

Yep. That's exactly what I was talking about. I have some of those for rebuilding little old two-stroke motorcycle engines.

Glad your's made it !
