[DD] Protected TF 18650s, pair @ $6.71 shipped

Looks like DD has protected TF 18650s on sale for $8.39. Well, that is the price as off now and DD's prices tend to go and down all the time, so it's a good idea to verify that they're still $8.39 or less before you hit check out.

When you use "BLACK2S", you get 20% off (thanks for the coupon, btw :)), bringing the total down to $6.71 for a pair of 18650s. Now, are these genuine or fake? Your guess is as good as mine. Judging from the pictures, I'm inclined to say they might be the real deal (the fake ones I got a while ago didn't have the hologram and did use a different font, but that obviously doesn't mean these aren't fake).

How to order:

Go here, go to the check out page, make sure the price hasn't gone up, check the box next to "using a coupon code", enter "BLACK2S" "Thanksgiving" as coupon code, check if you still have the $1 coupon they gave you for signing up, use that if you do (yay!), check out. Done.

Like I said, I do not know if these are fake, so don't go and order a bajillion unless you're feeling particularly lucky today. ;)

Edit: Updated coupon code. Added affiliate code. Thought I'd give being a DD shill a shot. Can't wait to get my own beachfront property in Idaho. ;)

This is indeed a great deal. I was able to buy a bunch of li-ons in different sizes from dino last month for a great price after coupon and such. They seem very well made and i haven't had any problem. I remember i paid 6.99 for 18650 so this is a great deal.

Anyone looking for a Trustfire C8 with stainless bezel should get this: http://www.dinodirect.com/flashlight-900lumens-5mode.html

Using "BLACK2S" coupon will bring it down to $19.35 . No damn group buy needed.

The thing about dd is they WILL raise the price if it seems to be cheap after coupon, they did this to all the item i order :)

haha, the coupon code is only valid before 00:00, October 24th.

If they are real TF flames is a good deal!

Ordered a couple of these, they'll go well with my 3T6 from FP :)

Thanks for the heads up!

Why are there 2 kinds of trustfire 18650 protected on DD one for $15 the other for $8.39 ?

That's why i am suspicious, expecially after some case of "fake flames". Sorry..

Check out "original" price :D

Original Price: US$ 33.56
Price: US$ 8.39

Original Price: US$ 22.97
Price: US$ 15.39

So first one has much better discount.

Damn my impulse buying spree...

Does anyone know how to cancel an order at DD? They say through RMA but that won't work for unshipped orders...

Should have sticked with buyincoins, their flames where good and not much more expensive.

Why you want to cancel it? I hope it's not my fault. Maybe i'm wrong and this are good Flames. I think seller couldn't even distinguish between "good" and "bad" cell... Someone report bad flames also on DX, so... For $6 you can't go so damn wrong..

I bought them.. if are bad we could ever speak bad of DD everywhere and open a dispute in paypal XD

I bought also a 504b xml and a wonderful microfiber cleaning glove for 1$... all less of 20$ xD

Now you only have to wait one month (if our custom is fast as asual ). I received one week ago an item shipped on the 9 of july...

Thanks for heads-up!

I gifted away my original set of TF Flames, afterwards realized I have nothing to feed my 980L :D

No, Xtar´s can´t do it, they give 4A+ and safety trips...

These are just what I needed.

I am a member of the gang that bought Fireflames.

Also my first 18650 torch,a Kingston UF-2100(Whatever that is?).

Just have to wait an see if we won the lottery.Exiting?

Thanks Oxy,

Well I bought a pair. I hope they are good.

thx :)

I ordered the 14500 yesterday, before this post. $5 to gamble on the 14500 protected.

The 14500 is Also a victim of fake flames, even affecting our DX now, so ill see what arrives from DD.

Are the BIC flames still keeping it real? (wait.. they don't have 14500 flames?) Or manafont, slightly more, but guaranteed?

They are very good.

I was eyeing these flames at DD to ship with the group buy but I doubted they're real. I ended up getting the ones from Manafont as I' much confident with them(shipped also with another order).

Well I figured I better get some more of these at this price. I just ordered 3 more sets.

Thanks for the link.
