unbelievably cheap batterys

Check out this guy on ebay. How the heck is he giving these prices? He sells a lot of no name brands but there's good stuff in there to. He also sells battery boxes, and little flash lights for pretty much wholesale.

They are coming from China is one reason. They also will never get anywhere close to 3000 mah more like 2000mah in a real world test. They also exaggerate the amount of charges by about 3 times. You will be lucky to get 500 charges out of these batteries.

i agree not the best batties but at less than $3 shipped your not going to get hurt buying them. plus madvapes sell the same one for $9.99.

If a company lies about the mAh rating of their batteries. To me no matter how cheap they are they get a big old fail as a Brand. I personally wont buy anything but Japan or Korean Made li ions these days because they dont lie about the mah ratings or charge cycles.

Ultrafires are ok at $3 a piece. Wouldn't pay more than that though.

Personally, I think it's worth the premium to get AW brand. They been the most consistent of any I've purchased.

Volume sales that is how he can do it . He probably makes a lot less than a local website but sells 10 x more .

Where are you getting them, and how much should I expect to pay for a quality 18650? I just looked around for the aw's ,and my goodness are they pricey.

I've gotten most of mine from Lighthound.com

I've been using this exact battery in my Reo Woodvil for about a week now, and I get a day and a half of steady vaping but it doesn't compare to my AW 2900mAh from which I get 2 days easy.

I agree with you 100% on that. The only Chinese battery I'll buy is AW. Otherwise, a Japanese battery like Sanyo, Samsung, Panasonic, etc. Both TrustFire and UltraFire greatly exaggerate their mAh ratings. If they do that, what else to they fudge on. Safety? I don't think saving a couple bucks is worth having a battery gas out in your face.

I went to the site, the prices are ok...but shipping was about $10 plus the cost of what about $8 I dont really see the big bargain. There are some good deals on batteries on other US sites. No need to run to China uless buying quantity at wholesale prices.
