You couldn’t get cheap aluminum tubes to shop them in? Since batteries have to be in a device. You could start shipping batteries in a tube that looks like a flashlight. Maybe with s trash led and no driver. So it looks like a flashlight. I believe mtn electronics does something similisf for international orders. You should be able to ship batteries inside a product.

Thanks for the review once again! Just ordered qty 5 from http://online.aspirecig.com/. Shipping is confusing. Estimator said $10 for e-packet for qty 5, but placing the order, e-packet was $0... So I paid $20 via PayPal. Interesting what's gonna happen... I think their site is screwed up, so I might get free shipping or maybe they will cancel the order, or just never ship it.

You may be lucky there :slight_smile:
My 25 pieces show shipped now.

Nearly the same price in the uk as you don’t pay shipping

41

Wow, got notice my order of 5 cells shipped for the $20 I paid. So for shipping, it quoted just over $10 for qty 5 with an e-packet, but placing the order, no charge for shipping. Hhmm.

I was planning on paying over $6 each.

42

my 5 turned up today that was quick

43

I ordered 8 of the 18350’s, paid $20.60 for DHL, then got a partial refund of $15 as he couldn’t ship DHL (something about they wouldn’t take the batteries?) Then I got a second $15 refund by mistake and he asked me to pay that one back. Seems weird, but I did it. So now he is saying they will ship USPS? I’m confused (normal these days)

This cell really makes the short S2+ triples, for example, somewhat useful.

45

And solid copper Sinner 18350 EDC’s, with triple Nichia 219C’s. :slight_smile:

And in pairs in a Lucky Sun D80 with an MT-G2. :smiley:

46

I have one S2+ with xhp70 waiting for them … :smiley:

47

Also gonna try something new, we’ll see how it goes. Might be a little over the top or my meds may be skewing my perspective, only time will tell. :wink:

48

uh oohh, FrankenDale strikes again??

According to HKJ's tests, looks like the Shockli 700 and AWT 800 (Yellow) were the closest in performance and capacity at 0.09 internal resistance and 750 mAh capacity. Slight advantage to the AWT.

So better performance at 0.07 and ~50% boost in capacity.

Not sure when HKJ did the AWT 800 test, because IMRBatteries only has a red 850 mAh AWT 18350 cell now, and that one goes for $5.50, and the EFEST dark purple goes for $5.00, so for $4.00 shipped, this Aspire cell is quite a bargain.

Dang, yea, a lot more applications for this cell. Might have to order more...

50

This battery, coupled with arrival of shorty lights with internal charging like the S42 and 14 II will make it a viable EDC option for me.

51

Yeah, I’m gonna have to get some of these as well. If this weren’t a HKJ review, I’d say it’s too good to be true!

52

LTf is gonna end up owing some royalties to HKJ in the end. lol

53

This cell looks good, thanks for the review :+1:

54

Thanks for the tip! Ordered 5pcs via Paypal and got confirmation of shipment with no shipping charge. Website is a bit buggy going through Paypal but eventually got it with free shipping, works on either 5 or 6pcs ordered. There’s a charge for any other qty it seems.

55

Danm, it worked! Thanks!

56

Thanks Tom E. for the info.

Total price:

5=$20
4=$25.23
3=$19.69
2=$14.15
1=$8.62

I only have 2 X 18350 lights and just bought 2 X KP 18350,this battery blows them away.

Not sure what I will do w/ 5 of them. Certainly makes more sense than buying the other quantities! Maybe shipping is free after $20! :sunglasses:
