Hopefully I have a cheaper source for these. Samples shouold arrive next week, I’ll be testing them to make sure they perform as expected.
I got a price for 10 xtar 3100’s for usd $90 delivered from an alibaba seller. Including slow post which was supposedly $14.50 (seems a bit high) but overall ok considering others want $12 +
Thanks for the tip EDC.
I am currently looking at some Sanyo protected 2600’s from BIC, they offered me a $20 refund on my STL-V2 and I thought I would spend it with them.
I might look at some Panasonics next time
Panasonic CGR18650CH are a good alternative to AW IMR, higher capacity at 2250mAh

First, thanks for your comments Pounder, it’s really impressive. Be honestly I never knew this page before you showed it up. What I have to say is I never have time to do like that, specially it unnecessary for me. I always believe that “Facts speak louder than words”, that is the reson why efest always keeping improve the qualities and service. just like this test result http://ukvapers.org/Thread-IMR-14500-Batteries-Efest-v-AW http://ukvapers.org/Thread-IMR-18650-Batteries-Efest-v-AW-v-Sanyo

yeah they seem like good batteries…i’m just saying you don’t need to implant false people in threads to boost sales…if ykb is a real person then I apologize…having a 2 post count and the way you guys are communicating is rather suspicious…your company has already been caught using this false buyer tactic so it is even more suspicious…
anyway…I was looking at buying some of your batteries just today but found it hard to get them off the websites I usually deal with…shipping on the websites efest batteries are on are very high shipping rates…which kills the deal…
efestjone, thanks for your reassurance. I look forward to receiving the cells :). How long is the approximate delivery time to UK?
pounder, I’m a real person, and not affliated with efest
Items received today, many thanks!
What did you pay for shipping?
interested also…I emailed Jone a few days ago with no response…guess i’ll just go with AW as prices and shipping are easily obtained…
