Received my two Basen batteries today. Both in a neat black box and without raised top, so I guess I got the high capacity version (yay?). I don’t have a way to test this though. First 26650 batteries and impressed by their size!
real Basen batteries, or maybe i should say wrappers, do not have ANY typo.
these are both fake Basen wrappers, and the whole thing was thought up because mooch gave Basen 26650s
a top 3 ranking in his review, in a vaping forum.
“somebody” found a source of 26650s and had some fake wrappers made for us suckers who love any BLF group buy.
Hopefully the batteries are ok, anyway, because Basen, themselves, are just a rewrapper, anyway.
there’s a lot of 26650s out there that are all the same battery with different wrappers
I bought a pair from here and they claim to buy direct from Basen. The picture shown has the correct spelling but the batteries I received have the typo so I don’t think it has anything to do with the group buy.
I can’t find where to check their security code on the Basen site. Anyone have the link?
Stocks were supplied from Basen direct so it is unlikely to be fake, and this is what I have been briefed so far. As for the inconsistency in the supply batch, no one seem to be able to answer my question up till now
Code verification is on their landing page. http://www.basengroup.com/ There official page just launched not long ago if I am not wrong.
Got mine some days ago. All in the white box, with low weight. The lowest number I got on Lii-500 was 4000, 4200, 4350, 4470
Together with the sh*y Cometa light I got, I have decided that it was my last group buy. There has been issues with every GB I have been a part of. And all you get is that “oh, you must expect bad products since it’s a budget forum’’
’feel better buying UltraFire lights. Too bad so many just accept bad products from the GB, just to not hurt the feeling of the organizers.
Why does it say 12 month warranty In specs and 6 month warranty in picture OP?
These are IMR type correct? I ordered four for L6.
Are these better or worse than keeppower ?
And how many complaints from me has you seen with your 16 posts and 3 months of membership? But of course, you are for sure someone that accept crappy/damage/faulty goods so you don’t hurt the feelings of the organizers. I expect little more then that. Budget = is not crappy lights. For that we have Ebay/Aliexpress
No need to be angry. I lurked around a while before joining. I think many of us have…
I know i have complained about group buys. You can’t polish a turd. If it is not what is was supposed to be, and hyped up to be, and I payed hard earned money I would and have been upset as well.
No need for personal attacks though
I’ve had no issues getting batteries from BANGGOOD. Shipping times are a few days longer is all. 4 days longer than a light I ordered on the same day. Faster than the mighty Gearbest ime.
Just received my Shadow JM35 and was planning to use one of my Basen cells … but they are too fat Are these cells wider than usual? An Efest 5200 (reserved for my upcoming L6) fits OK, so does a 18650 convertor…
Now I need to find a new light that fits the remaining Basen AND a new 26650 cell
