These are good mid range batteries and they ship quick from the USA.

Best $9 you will spend.
These are of of the only **fire batteries to get good reviews.
I have 6 of them and they work very well, especially for the price and you don’t have to wait for a month to get them.
Or never get them at all with the wacky oversea’s shipping companies lately.

Tried to order this. Anybody know WHERE on the site you put the coupon code in? I can’t find it.
Once u put it in your cart and click secure checkout, it is a option under the cart for coupon code.
So you can’t use Paypal with the coupon?
You could have earlier but it has expired. It was for a $3.90 discount.
I just realized that. Thanks.
For future coupon application: use secure checkout. Apply coupon in provided box. There is a checked box to “pay with PayPal”.
Still an ok deal at $20 if you like a cool tint.
Ordered two.
I tried to use the coupon code e398f042a3 from OL’s post but it shows that the coupon code has been expired. Is it or did I do anything wrong?
Nope. It's expired.
Damn, got to spend 4 more bucks to get it, I think not worth it and I will pass. 
OK,
Got my Tangsfire today.
Pulls 3.52 amps on both the Trustfire Flames and on Panasonic 3400 protected’s. I do not have any IMR batteries in 18650 to try, but am confident it would pull more with them as is listed in the OP.
Anyway, fit and finish is very good, nice clean reflector, clean glass, small amount of lube on threads.
She is a keeper, very bright and has a nice defined hotspot. As with other lights with the East092 driver it comes on to high mode which suits me fine.
For the money I don’t know how you can do better. Finally a C8 that has good amperage right out of the box.
Tint is bright white but not purpley or green.
I may do a resistance mod with some braid on the driver spring and tailcap spring and remove the cap over the spring. Cap looks kinda cheesy anyway.
So there you have it, now go get you one!
Later,
Keith
ok i will buy one to compare with the rest of my top c8 and c12’s.
as of right now, the c8 from lightmalls has the crown….
I got the first of my Tangsfire C8s today. With a freshly charged Sony US18650VTC3 I got a 5A reading.
Maybe it was in your review and I missed it, but is there any timed based step down when it’s on high?

It’s direct drive on high, so the current readings can drop down fast depending on the cells used.
Ahhhh, sweet. Thanks
