Am I missing something here... you can get 18650's locally for R100 a pop and delivery is next day... Are these special 18650's?
Yip. Those are high current (30Amp), mech modders use them for sub ohm coils.
 
I hear all this bad things about "TrustFire" batteries! I've got quite a few of them for a couple of years used in stuff other than vape gear. I did a lot of various tests on them in comparison with other brands (Sony, Panasonic, Efest Extar etc) and to be honest, the only places they fail are; 1. High Current (>7A) and 2. Low discharge (<2.5V), and yes they are not made for that, the protection circuit will prevent accidents due to shorts etc. I don't know who started this rumour but for the average vapour they are more than adequate batteries. If you want to seriously sub-ohm, then buy batteries that are made for a current delivery >10A. For someone that don't understand Ohms law I will much rather give a protected "TrustFire" battery than something that can discharge 10A etc.

Thanks @johanct! I have to say I have a few different types of 18650's and the Trustfires are my favorites... maybe because I had a fail on two other makes that were more expensive.

So peeps... if Johan says they are good then you know they are the ones to buy!

I was looking for 18650's pre vaping and this is the site that put me off the "fires". A couple years back most of the time you didn't know whether or not you were being sold fakes, that was before the days of this forum and certified retailers though.

OMG this site is amazing!! i am totally gunna order from them, you didnt perhaps run into any issues ordering from them did you? what was the wait time like? was shipping expensive?

3 - 4 weeks about $39 for shipping which was a bit expensive but we split the cost between 4 guys.

Yip nobody can guarantee whether its fake or not - a couple of months ago we all ate fake beef (donkey, kangaroo and what not)!
 
Just a comment on my own previous post: I doubt whether vendors like Vape King, or for that matter any certified retailer on this forum, will ever retail fake batteries.

Agreed, I don't see that any of the retailers here would knowingly sell fakes. The problem is the source though, China is not a country with the strongest morals.

@drew yes that's the public perception and its due to the minority scammers in China, but I must also say that retailers will do their homework and only buy from reputable Chinese vendors. Due to my work, I've been dealing with Chinese factories since 1995 and they form the majority of my customer base. It's only a small proportion of the Chinese industry that created China's bad reputation. Chancers and scammers are to be find in all societies, but because China is the production house of the world they obviously will be in the spotlight (because the rest of the world is unfortunately too lazy and greedy).

Well said @johanct I can speak for ourselves as well as the other retailers on this forum I am sure, we buy all our products from one central factory, I have checked with all the original factories (Kanger, innokin etc) and the factory which we get our products from is a legitimate factory (Reseller) should I say of their products, the reason we buy from him instead of the original factories is that he allows smaller order quantities on certain products which the original factories don't generally do.
