Oh, ha, there is such a thing as wire-wrapping wire. I thought it was just something lost in translation.
Yes, one of two orders has a pair of 18650
Yes, a tracking status (23 & 24/1 respectively) like this
Ok,
this could be the cause, a custom office stop after x-ray inspection.
Mine last order was declared shipped on 18 Jan and its last tracking status update was on 22 Jan.
This is starting to be a “show stopper” for me, at least for orders of certain importance.
Adding these delays to inbound custom delay results in one month waiting to see goods in my hands.
So i have a question for FT staff :
is feasible to think a shipping solution based on courier like DHL at for order of certain amount ?
How much would it cost ?
Just like to say thanks to fasttech. Order arrived today the 28th. Placed order on the 18th, 10 days to my door in NC. Went from hong kong to CA in 2 days took 4 more to get here. 3 days from time of order to shipped. 1 day for hong kong to process through.
Good packaging and nice products. You are setting standards that others will have to follow if they want my business.
Keep up the speedy shipping. 
Sorry about this. Unfortunate we didn’t test each and every one, and frankly it isn’t feasible to test each battery before shipment.
We have done tests before at 1Ah drain and the tester showed 39xxmAh. After seeing your message, we have immediately updated the test results and we’ll double check by testing again.
If capacity fluctuates that much over time, between batches/cells, we’ll definitely consider removing them altogether.
Send me your order number (here or PM) and I will look this up for you.
We could probably add this along with the SG post option in the next update. Expect DHL to be more expensive than Speedpost Express ($20/25+ per shipment). We’ll see if this can be done.
That’s great what you’re doing, thanks for that.
As a side note though, home results are not always accurate, they’re so prone to connection issue especially at the banana plugs. Any hobby charger will terminate charge/discharge prematurely if the voltage drop across that plug is too high.
Even our texaspyro was fooled recently (heheh… you are fallible after all). Of course, being who he is, he would notice it, but not everybody will.
Very true. I’ll do a discharge test on the second battery later today, and see what it comes up with.
Incidentally, I notice the 26650 Trustfire flames listing now says ‘2800mAh actual capacity’, and nothing on the black trustfires. I think you may have that the wrong way round…. Also, don’t just take my word for it, does anyone else have any of these they can test?
I think i found a bug in the Fasttech shopping cart.
Say i have a cart with a mix of items (13 currently) and one of the items is quantity 4.
If i close a tab, then come back to my saved cart with a bunch of items in it - now ALL the items have a quantity 4!
Thought you guys might want to know for a test/fix.
Suggestion: FastTech should have its own BLF sub-forum as the plethora of FT thread are making me dizzy.
Fixed — thank you! That nasty bug was introduced 2 days ago when we started saving shopping cart items to FastTech account. By the way, as long as you’re logged in, shopping cart items are persisted across computers and devices.
Corrected now. We are going to do drain test on these black 26650’s tomorrow morning.

FastTech should not just be taking people's word for it about battery capacities. (No offense to anyone here) unless there is a strong consensus. On top of that, they need to be more careful that they change descriptions on the right products!
EDIT: Well at least they respond quick to suggestions and correction!

I don't mind if they leave the manufacturers claim. We all know they're false. I don't expect them to test for "true" capacity (which would likely vary anyway).

Another sub 10 day from order to delivery for the packet of eJuice that arrived yesterday 
Dispatch of another order today but missing one item they can’t find stock of. Jasmine offered refund of that item or exchange for another variation straight away. Totally the way to deal with a small order and what I would have done in that situation myself. Hopefully the next order will be as quick to arrive and I can use the store credit with the next order - the only debate is do I try and sneak another order in before CNY or wait it out?
I’m going for it. They’ll ship in 2 days max.
Just finished a 1A discharge test on my other black Trustfire 26650.
Oddly, this one also gave me exactly 2800mAh.
Give the battery some full cycles before measuring discharge capacity.
Battery capacity is important but i will personal put safety in first place.
Subpar lithium cells do not promise nothing good under this aspect and
what you report (2.8 Ah @ 1A) clearly shows a subpar cell.
But since it is an XXXFIRE … it’s far to be a surprise !
Years ago i spent some money in that category but after few unavoidable disappointments i took the decision to drop them and adopt better cells.
Sure more expensive, but still in service.
Nowadays rechargeable lithium battery choice is significantly wider while prices are lower so i do see very few reasons to consider whatever XXXFIRE device, especially with this quality/performance lottery factor.
At the end of the day is not convenient for anyone, seller included.
We’ve begun re-testing those -Fire batteries today:

I have had delivery off two orders to Australia on the 29 and 30th of the Jan. Both were posted on the 21st. Quickest delivery's I have had from overseas. Thanks guys.
