Ultrafire 18650 batteries will not fit

[silkakc]

I ordered some Ultrafires 18650 for my new mod. They do not fit in the mod or the charger. It does list them as one of the accepted kinds of batteries on my Trustfire charger. They are the silver 2400 mah series ones from Madvapes.

Has anyone used the red jacket Ultrafires or black jacket Trustfire 18650's from MV and did they fit in your mod and charger?

They both fit in the trust fire 001 charger (although tight), and they both fit in my 18650 e-power and mad vapes maxi stack.

I ordered some 14500 Ultrafires from madvapes awhile back and they were too big for my box. They did fit but I had to force them in. I took them back and they exchanged them (I live an hour away) Also a friend bought some ultrafires (also 14500) on ebay and they too were too big to fit in her box. I have some that are older and the new ones I got are a fraction of an inch longer. I'm scared to order any more ultrafires because of this.

Its because Ultra/Trust-Fire contract out, then stick there label on it. Get yourself some AW's, better quality, pretty close to true mah ratings, and 99% of the time will be the right size (haven't heard of one being off on size, but theres always a chance.)

The ultrafires are not really that great of a cell anyway . The only fires i use is the flame trustfires sometimes . The majority of the time i use AW IMR's which are much better batteries . The Aw IMR's are smaller than the fires too .
