I have these, and personally rate them MUCH higher than my AW’s, they are much more charged after being left unused/uncharged for long times, and are only marginally inferior for run times on my single 18650 flashys.
okay okay! I got it…NOOOO UF
But the Samsungs are not protected and I dont like it…
Its more dangerous isnt it?
I guess it depends on your usage habits. I personally use all protected cells.
If you want cheap but protected, and rated much much better, get these http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10000377/1053200-trustfire-18650-37v-25002600mah-rechargeable-li-io
Or just spend more and get these: http://www.intl-outdoor.com/2-pcs-panasonic-ncr18650b-3400mah-protected-battery-p-605.html
Unprotected Samsung cells are much safer than protected CrapFire cells, actually.
I use protected 2400mAh Trustfires atm…will the 2500-2600 mAh improve the output of my lights?
Have bought 2 of those panasonics and my romisen is much brighter with it. But that is a lot of money for just 2 batteries…
Toppel:okay okay! I got it…NOOOO UF

So whats the dangerous part of unprotected cells?
What can happen? And when will it happen?

That was CrapOnFire cell though, not something proper like Samsung, Sanyo or Panasonic that has proper QC and safety features.
Well my order was shipped last wednesday and it is already in San Francisco. That is a record pace. This company is all WIN!!
What was the discount code? Has it expired?
ETA: after some checking…the code is GOTECH good until Dec 15th I take it
I thought I read somewhere on here that they had the FandyFire STL-V6 with a coupon code for like $35 shipped. Can someone give me the info on this like the link and the coupon code?
Code is GOTECH
We’ll see in a few weeks - I hope!
I also noticed they have the Trustfire TR-J18 at an unbelievable price.
yeah… $53 and change… i got it from them… it’s an amazing light for the price not too mention very fast shipping 9 days including weekends :bigsmile:
i’m debating should i get another Trustfire TR-J18 or the save it until they have trustfire AK47… or the 12 leds
Yea I found it and ordered already by using the search. But thank you anyways.
DayLighter:thanks for the info… got me a TrustFire TR-J18 Cree XM-L T6 for $53 and change and free shipping too…
Isn’t that a great price? Cheapest I’ve seen it anywhere. Please let us know how long it takes to arrive in the East Coast. It took 8 days to make it to California…at least for my order, anyway.
woo hoo… mine came today… amazingly fast !!
ordered on 11/30… and it came today… unexpected, but gladly accepted :bigsmile:

it’s bright and yes it’s kinda floody… good throw? it certainly can reach over 100M
Jettemaus:Just wondering how the Fandyfire UV-S5 from Fasttech measures up to my Sky Ray King from Tmart? At this price I would like to give away a few as Xmas gifts. Comparable output?
I’ll give you my visual estimate by the end of the week - I don’t have a light meter. I hope that will do.
how about that comparison
Simple…remove the head while not in use. Problem fixed.
