Well even the AW supplier in HongKong says no aw imr 14500's for 2 weeks!

[Mvgratz]

I tried to see if it was possible to circumvent the wait and order direct from China suppliers... Nope. They are also having to wait for AW to resupply them as well. Our vendors on the ECF have been given a better time frame that what the Chinese supplier gave me.. Here's the reply to my post inquirey on the CFP Marketplace...

AW's LiIon batteries Sales Thread *Part 12*

zorro,
alvinyhwong,
Dexter,
mefistofele86,

Orders shipped. Thanks!


Mvgratz : A new batch of IMR14500s will arrive next weeks.


Snooker : Yes, you can add 2 x IMR18490s to your order ( the IMR14500s are out of stock ). Please send additional payment of $18 ( $17 + $1 extra shipping ). Thanks!

My advice to everyone that needs the best possible substitute in the mean time is to get the AW 14500 750mah protected batteries...

On the bright side, I did find another overseas vendor (that has them is stock)...
AW IMR14500 3.7V Battery - Cloud 9 Vaping

Comes to $13.39 dollars converted plus shipping... Personally, if it were me, I'd buy the AW 14500 protected and wait for the resupply instead of getting screwed on price, shipping, and wait time from England to the US...

Got this from SuperT, I had ordered AW IMR 14500 batteries Friday evening:

Good evening Karen,

I am sorry to write you and say i had to refund your order. Unfortunately, i am out of IMR 14500's. It should have said that on the site, but sometimes computers cache an old version of the site. IMR 14500's are out of stock pretty much industry wide due to the manufacturer itself running out. The lastest word is they should get some in possibly this week, and figure about one week more to get them in. I hope it goes faster, but i can't guarantee it will. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Kind Regards,

David G.

Obviously, REO's are wreaking havoc on the battery market ;-)

From my experience if you plan on running 2Ω cartos, 2Ω or above attys the black 750 mAh work out better.

If you going for 1.5Ω the IMR do make for a slight performance increase IMO.
I haven't tried 1.8 ohm much so not sure.

I hope if you have to settle for the Black ones and run 1.5Ω that you do follow through and get the IMR when they are available ..... Then you get the true REO Wow factor

I ordered 3 from Super T on the 10th and 2 from RTD on the 13th.
Super T sent me an email on the 14th telling me they were out of stock and they would refund my money if I wanted. I decided to leave them on order. They came on Saturday.
I think I got the last 5 in the world.
Thank goodness,picked my Mini up Thursday and they rock with my LR510's.
